Casa de la Musica at night time is going to be working girls...I assume you went to Casa de la Musica in Centro Habana...I was there in July and there were nothing but working girls, tourists and tourists dates. They aren't going to approach you and talk to you but they will walk and stop right in front of you or hang out beside you at the bar/ your table. Honestly, I'm personally done with gong to Cuba...it's worth going to see but I mean the reality is you get laid and maybe the girl doesn't ask you for money but she definately hopes you give her some. A LTR can be hundreds of times more profitable for these girls and hence why it seems like your getting laid easily. The reality is though, there is a lot of stigma to be with a gringo and while it's accepted a normal girl isn't going to be going out and have ONS with gringos. That would get her the reputation as a jinetera. I lived there for a few months this summer and honestly was planning on writing a trip report but have been very busy with school.
You need to consider where your hanging out and meeting people. If your meeting people in discos and the malecon, parque central...it's usually not an accident.
Hooking up with girls who are living on 15 dollars a month albeit they have food, medical etc. covered isn't all that thrilling. With that said there does appear to be a portion of society in Cuba making lots of money. But this is a ridiculously small portion. The majority are living on 10-100 dollars a month. Hence, you will see albeit rarely a Cuban driving an Audi, mercedes etc. This is usually limited to sports stars, musicians and people who have made it in the underground economy from what I've seen and read.
There are some really beautiful women. But these girls are usually found in the most expensive clubs. The problem here is that your not going to have a clue what or who she is...a high percentage of the girls will be working the night shift, then you've got girls who have a Cuban boyfriend/ husband abroad, then you've got the in girls...(very small percentage...) they quite possibly come from money. It takes a really really long time to get out of the typical tourist haunts. Everyone i've ever met there ends up hanging around with the hustlers.
