Wrx2005. Do you have any female relatives or coworkers in your segment of the universe. If so, ask them why wishing a poor woman whom you are having a paid sexual relationship with a Happy Mother's Day is likely to elicit a request for some kind of gift. I am sure they will be able to explain better than I.

1st why don't you answer my question? Where did you get the idea Mr E did not want to acknowledge some woman for Mothers Day? He told you the same thing I said, that he acknowledged the woman and the day. So what's your problem?

[Frannie]

You don't know if he intended to really collect on the bet or was simply buttressing how sure he was. Some people who are sure of something, make bets but arent really concerned about getting paid. The payoff is proving the point. But if he indeed collected it would have been a win / win for those guys. A $50 lesson that potentially saved them thousands of dollars. So when you read that the guys were supposedly heartbroken, were you imagining these guys slumped in a chair weeping, possibly thinking of suicide after learning the truth? LOL.

You can cancel out him using the money for his trip. Thats just some out of left field speculative nonsense.

WTF does that have to do with anything? You don't know what you are messing with? Did it ever occur to you that the woman is the one potentially fucking up those extended relationships with her own behavior? That is where the crux of the problem lies. Her deceit, not his bet. What you should be saying, does she know what she is messing with by fucking with other men when she supposedly has a boyfriend? Thats where your focus should be, not blaming some man.

You may not be defending the woman. But you sure have focused more towards the guy making the bet moreso than the womans behavior. Maybe you didn't get it. But those guys are the ones who agreed to the bet. They did so thinking they were right and the other guy was wrong. They gave full cooperation. Nothing foolish about that. Whats $50? For you to even focus primarily on some mans bet, and go soft on the womans deceit, omitting or downplaying the fact that it is her deceit potentially ruining any extended relationships is an example of how the concerns for preserving and supporting manhood has plummeted right before our eyes. Women, children, and overly sensitive men, their feelings and concerns are more important than a man being empowered and enlightened with the truth. I read the post and had a different reaction. I was generally in accord with those men experiencing their disappointment for a greater good. I wasnt thinking about relationships being compromised because of their awareness. I felt that was the womans problem, not the mans. I also felt those men should be able to recover from this, and be more aware the next time they attempt to hookup. The woman on the other hand, can either learn from this and do better or choose to be more covert and cautious in her actions with the next dude she attempts to bamboozle.

Quite honestly I call bullshit on the whole story. There are far too many significant details missing, like how he met the guys and whether he was already acquainted with some of the women. It is possible however that the story is based on a kernel of truth somewhere. Maybe someone did make a bet with a friend and a woman offered to give the friend a BJ on Facebook.

Just because something has become common or bred by capitalism / marketing doesn't mean everyone has to follow. Most aware people are free to get off the merry go round of ignorance or choose to leave the sheep herd anytime they choose. Your question makes no sense. If he wished a woman Happy Mothers Day, he just acknowledged her and the day. When did you assume he did not want to acknowledge her or the day? Please tell us how you assess him not wanting to acknowledge her or the day? Is buying a gift or doing something particular the only way to acknowledge someone or the day? I dont get your logic?

(1) This only applies to pre-paid celulars. The sort where you have to insert "minutes" before making calls. If you have a contract or "plan" it does not apply.

Do you talk about that cheap cells you can buy which have already a prepaid sim card with it?

I have a "normal" prepaid (prepago) Sim Card from Orange on which I can add Pesos I can use for Calls, SMS or Internet.

[Wrx2005]

So should I expect the presents to be rolling in on Father's Day? Wishing her a Happy Mother's Day was acknowledging her and the day. That is not to say that a present should have accompanied my salutations. Likewise, I don't expect everyone who tells me Happy Birthday on Facebook to be sending me a present.

Whippishhhhhhh.

[Wrx2005]

I used to think the same way too, but even in the US it is now common for Mother's Day to be promoted as a day in which every woman who has or had a mother, is a mother, or would like to become a mother is expecting some kind of gift, a day off work, or something of that kind. That is the effect of capitalism and marketing for you.

But why did you wish her a Happy Mother's Day in the first place if you didn't want to acknowledge her or the day?

I am not defending the women. To immediately agree to perform oral sex with CIM with a complete stranger on Facebook is quite gross.

Needless to say that will never happen to me. One of my non-pros in Puerto Plata asked me for a gift the other day after I told her Happy Mother's Day. That confused the shit out of me. I told her no because she is not my mother and that was a day between mothers and children, not mothers and boyfriends. She got angry. Why would she expect a gift, not to mention have the audacity to ask for one?

Anytime a woman is on the street with a child in tow and begging me for money or some internet chick comes with the sob story of needing pampers or milk or a doctor visit I tell them that they better find the daddy. I have no desire to provide for a kid that I didn't get to enjoy making.

Maaaaaaan you SPOKE THE TRUTH! They do not even think or care about your situation, problems or your children.

Ok this has not much to do with mongering, but then when I can not contact chicas when I hit the Ground it will have to do something with mongering in its own way: p.

My Santo Domingo Novia often send me silly whatsapp messages where you can gain this and that when you forward the message to 20 people etc.

But today she sent me a message where it says you have to verify you DR sim card till 12 June or they cancel your acount. I looked into it at the orange homepage and indeed there you can verify your sim or something, but with my malo spanish skills I do not understand it 100% and I can't verify because I do not have a dominican cedula LOL.

This is the Link for Orange Sims http://www.orange.com.do/web/guest/v...lineas-prepago I checked.

But her message said it concern all dominican Phone carriers.

Can anyone tell me what's the fuzz about it?

In January I bought that sim and did give them my Passport so for me it is verified.

I have a Nokia 1020 and this Phone cause serious Problems with Orange Prepago Sims. I was in 5 small shops and all said prepago is not possible with that phone. I was 2 Hours in the Orange Head Store and a Technican was fixing it 1 Hour until it worked. Either all dominicans that work in Cellphone Stores are totally dumb or it is really true and my phone is some kind of special. Anyway I lend the sim card to friends that was travelling to the DR, which recharged it there, to keep it active. Until my next trip I will go on with that or recharge it online because there is NO WAY I will spent my time again hunting a sim card in Puerto Plata. Last time was a pain in the ass. Besides that I have 2000 Pesos Credit on the sim I do not like to loose. And Flights from Germany always bail in at late Hours in the DR and I like to stay connected and online when I hit the ground.

Here in Germany I only can use the Orange Homepage because I did forget to activate roaming when I was on the Ground and here the Sim Card does not conect because roaming is not activated. But that Link on the Hompage give me an Error when I type in the Number of my Passport which I used to buy that sim.

So does anyone can tell me if I really must verify my sim till the 12th June on their Homepage and if so how can I do it without DR Cedula?

(1) This only applies to pre-paid celulars. The sort where you have to insert "minutes" before making calls. If you have a contract or "plan" it does not apply.

(2) It applies to all service operators in the DR, Orange, Claro, Viva, etc.

(3) If you have a cedula you can do it online.

(4) If you do not have a cedula you will have to go to a main office of the company with your passport.

(5) If you do not verify your phone by 12 June your account will be cancelled. Presumably you will lose your number and any stored minutes, though I have not seen that stated anywhere.

I never understood why some men will sponsor, support, or pay for a woman miles away! Is she your wife? Is she the mother of your children and got custody of them?

The answer is NO. She is someone you had sex with. That's it! Whether it was great or not, why'all got along well or not. At the end of the day your relationship is based on pleasure and material. Wake the fuck up. Use your bigger head!

Why in earth do you feel any sense of sexual exclusiveness with her? Cause you are paying her a monthly fee? You think she doesn't know you are shagging other skanks too?

You owe her nothing and she owes you nada!

No need for that monthly $50-200 maintenance fee.

[Frannie]

It was a bet, I don't see what he did wrong at all. Those guys will thank him once they get a clue, he saved them a ton of WU money.

Well they each had to pay him $50 for losing the bet plus he states that they were "heartbroken" Perhaps this was how he decided to pay for his trip, and I must admit the guys were very, very foolish to accept the bets, but shattering people's dreams still seems like an unpleasant thing to do and there is no guarantee that it will save them money, because if they break up the relationships over this, they will probably get another novia before long and start sending more money.

See, these guys may have had relationships with the novia's families, children, and goodness knows what, and when you go around challenging people to bets like this, you really don't know what you are messing with.

Many years ago when I lived in Bermuda there was a popular movie involving Robert Redford and Demi Moore in which Redford was a billionaire who offered a struggling architect a million dollars to sleep with his attractive wife (Demi Moore) and the guy took the money and then regretted it later.

A local newspaper in Bermuda interviewed women in the street and asked them if they would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars and a large number of them said "Hell, yes" so certainly a significant number of ordinary women are willing to have sex for money if it is enough, even if they are not normally hookers. I can see a certain equivalency, but the sad thing is that so many Dominican women would do this for just $3500 pesos. They should have asked for more.
