Jaiba o Haiba.

After reading all the comments I am thinking "got to love this group". Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Mr Enternational]

Got a new chick that is a University professor of Industrial Engineering in Puerto Plata. She said they pay 392 pesos per hour. For her it equals out to 35,000 pesos per month. If she worked in a factory it would be 40,000 pesos per month, but a lot more hours of work.

Most likely we need a Marine Biologist to solve this dilemma!

No, it is not that difficult. Salt-waterly speaking, cangrejos are the hard-core pros and jaibas are the semi-pros. If a crab enters a fresh-water river-mouth several times in the same week, she's a jaiba.

Let us stop this nonsense about chicas and get back to the important stuff, the crabs. Finally got round to googling it and found out that:
Black mark for Camaro: it is spelled jaiba and is feminine.
Black mark for me: it is a marine species though is also found in river estuaries so perhaps more freshwater tolerant than normal crabs.

Don't be too hard on yourself and Camaro! Apparently the same matter had (perhaps still does) buffeted other bright minds as well, on DR1.

Malko's recent mention of jaiba inspired this thread. I had always understood la jaiba to be the Dominican term for a crustacean found in rivers and streams (de agua dulce). While LOS cangrejos (crabs) are their counterparts from the sea. I was recently told by a family member from Moca that I have it backwards. Apr 10,2013.

If I understood them correctly a haiba is a freshwater crab as opposed to the usual salt-water crabs (cangrejos).

If you paid her 1000 pesos multiple times I have news for you, she's a hoe plain and simple.

No one will ever resolve this issue, because people have different ideas in their heads as to what constitutes a hoe. For some people it is any woman who has sex with a man for any kind of material gain, and not just for love or lust, and for others it is a woman whose sole source of income is from selling sex, or a woman who charges a specific fee for a specific sex act.

Of course hoe is not a legal term, it is just a slang term, so it can mean whatever you want it to mean.

Thanks for the news! Personally I have nothing against the "pros" except that some might behave as prima donnas which does not float my boat. The H word, much to your liking, made you miss the essential point I was making though: that one does not have to impress the "pros" that line up in front of the various discos at night in Sosua, paying them many multiples of what I paid. There are plenty of semi-pros going about. Disclaimer, I have had a few "regular women" including one that works security at the airport, that moonlight as "you know what"!

Semi-hoe I think you meant to say.

Soy Haiba.

Recently I was talking to one of my Sosua chics and she said the word on the street is that I am "tacano-cheap" and a "haiba. " Haiba is a Dominican word for crab but it is also used as slang in Sosua for an extranjero who is cheap and doesn't spend a lot of money.

There are guys who are paying 5-7000 pesos for Sosua chics but they do not understand there is a difference between a novice turitsa and a experienced traveler or ex-pat so I am "hiaba. " Well those chicken head Sosua chics can kiss my HAIBA ass. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The will never TAX my ass for anything like that! The most I ever paid for a trick when I was there was 2000 pesos. And the only reason I paid that was because the girl eat the girl I brought with me and I faced me.

In May when I was in Sosua, I paid a woman 1000 pesos for each of her visits. The point is, Old kool is right, who wants the hassle of the pros?

If I understood them correctly a haiba is a freshwater crab as opposed to the usual salt-water crabs (cangrejos).

Good to learn two different words distinguishing a salt water from a fresh water crab. One wonders why that would be required though given that I have never eaten a crab in that land (by the way, anyone interested in crab should look for Sri Lankan crabs, in Singapore). Indeed finding fresh (not the parrot fish or tilapia in the freezer) fish is already a challenge in a coastal town and has always puzzled me but I digress.

In May when I was in Sosua, I paid a woman 1000 pesos for each of her visits. I met her several times, mostly at the hotel but I visited her apartment one time and as luck would have it, her 5/6 year old daughter was already knocking on the door getting back from school, by the time I was done. The point is, Old kool is right, who wants the hassle of the pros? There are plenty of regular women around. Of course, they would not be in for porn quality sex (which I never cared for; Humping for one hour in 500 positions as dictated by the Kama Sutra) but the fun to me, is in wooing a regular person, ideally with a job as well to understand the value proposition.

The pros have a different perspectives then girls working 40 plus hours for 6 k pesos per month In real jobs. '. The girls who have jobs are thrilled with 1500 pesos. It is a weeks pays for 2 hours. You have to pay a pro serious cash to get them excited. Experienced guys are not trying to impress pros by over paying.

Thanks Camaro. A new one to me, but never too late to improve my Dominicanese. I tried it out on the Malecon yesterday in an appropriate context and had the chicas in stitches.

Now ask her how much the natives pay.
