First, let me say that I think that you are an a-hole. Second, people got hurt? Who the hell did he hurt?

I can't believe that would stick up for this guy or would be shallow enough to ask that. The owners of the places that first ran him out of CR got so many complaints from the girls that work there it was ridiculous. I was there when this was happening.

A little off topic, but does anyone know how one can set up a webpage for taking credit card payments? A very nice girl here in Lima who many members have spent pleasant time with has cancer and no insurance. I'm sure a lot of guys who know her would like to help out, but there is a big difference in making a SWIFT bank transfer or just clicking on a "Visa" link.

The fastest, least problematic method would be money transfers via Xoom.

I checked and they can send money to banks and other offices in Peru (check their website).

Payment can be made directly from one's bank or by credit card.

If anyone from CNN comes to SL or the HDR it won't be to report news. There is no story here except for those who know who this guy is. He is not significant. He is a bum who is getting what he deserves. It makes no difference what laws they use. He was doing things he shouldn't have been doing and people got hurt and the host nations didn't like it.

CubaDave may be an idiot but he is our idiot. I just tried donating to him via paypal but got a message on paypal that my payment would be on hold for few days to review if it complied with Government regulations. WTF.

This will be a big story when it hits CNN or whatever. First of its kind. Hope they don't send news crews down to report in front of SL or DR. I've made 8 trips to DR and 5 I think to CR. A lot of people at work know & family, friends. I mean rain forest and beach trips. I'm divorced so who cares. Covers are going to be blown. I can see the female reporters on CNN now, its going to be fun.

Even if she is upper class and has a good job, that is "her" money. That has been my experience. Most non-latino men are, indeed, going to be in relationships with lower-middle class or lower class latinas, because those are the ones who are more accepting of an older guy. This is based on my experience living in and seeing these relationships (not my own) in Argentina, Colombia, Panamá, Costa Rica, México, and Guatemala. In addition to women from these countries, I have observed guys in relationships with peruanas and ecuatorianas. And, as always, there are exceptions. I have not observed these relationships in the context of the man bringing the woman to the USA Or any of the other non-Latin American countries I have lived in (UK, Germany, and Spain).

It is true that "latina" is a broad term, but I've been to every Latin country except three now, so I feel free to generalize. One of the reasons they don't make good LT material is they seldom contribute anything to the unit from an economic standpoint, and usually drain off money for their typically numerous relatives and family problems. I recommend a medium-term approach by cycling through them every six months or so to rinse one's self of the financial obligations.

But, of course, I'm an alcoholic, a drug addict, and a serial philander so take that into consideration.

As they say, "it depends. ".

A latina brought to the US lacking any English ability or job skills will be primarily a housewife, but as such, they are excellent.

Until they get "Americanized" they are happy with much less than the average "gringa" demands.

(Are you marrying the woman for her financial contribution?)

If the woman is well educated, or more ambitious, she may well want to work outside the home.

Really depends on the social and economic level the woman comes from.

The descriptions of family needing financial support, etc, implies a woman from a lower economic / social class.

Of course, anyone considering marriage (hopefully) would know about her background, family before doing the deed.

The Free Cuba Dave website says he is a construction worker. But he himself said he did not have to work because he made money just being who he was. I'm just sayin'. Bit of a contradiction there.

But I don't agree with Frannie that Latin America is a good place to go looking for long-term relationships, either. Happy for him he has found three that worked. Most of the guys I know who've married or had long term relationships with latinas have regretted they ever met them. Not just talking about (former?) hooker either.

Hopefully not too many people are experiencing schadenfreude about what has happened to Cuba Dave.

"Most of the guys I know who've married or had long term relationships with latinas have regretted they ever met them. Not just talking about (former?) hooker either. ".

As someone else stated, a lot may have to do with the guys, too.

"Latinas" is a very broad term, and they are as different as the countries that make up Latin America.

In general, I would highly recommend latinas as wife material, as they are typically very home / family oriented.

They often have a very romantic, passionate nature, and have more abundant figures than the typical Asian.

Granted, it depends on the woman, and where you found her.

Like all human beings, each is an individual, and there are exceptions, but overall, I think they make great wife material.
The majority of the guys I have known married to latinas have been very happy.

Very true, but it may be that they are the sort of guys who would fuck up long-term relationships anywhere, and the reason they have gone to Latin America or the Caribbean is that they could not make relationships "stick" in their own countries. For example, I was twice married and twice divorced in the UK. Had either of those marriages lasted I would not have had the incentive, the opportunity, or the money to holiday abroad alone.

I know lots of guys here in the DR who have had failed long-term relationships with local girls. They include alcoholics, drug-addicts, bullies, serial philanderers and crushing bores, so it is not all down to the failings of the chicas.

Of course at 65 he may also be drawing Social Security

Well, that will stop if he's incarcerated after conviction of a felony. So, in this case the Byzantine nature of the Napoleonic system may work in his favor.

I was just now watching a Cuba Dave video. And he was saying that it was no good coming to Sosua looking to meet a girl to marry or take back to United States, . Because she would not be happy and the husband would acquire many dependents. . Therefore it was better just to prostitute the girls for an hour.

Although this might seem like conventional wisdom here, I can see how a lot of people would find this very offensive. After all, if the beautiful DR girls aren't good wife material, why not just walk away from them? Why recommend that other men should get into prostitution.

Well I guess he will eventually get a chance to explain his philosophy and how it serves the greater good.
