Sosua Reports

[Mr Gogo]

First off, Kudos. It takes serious "balls" to write what you did. I hope some will not jump on you in their self-righteous " I told you so" indignation.

Second, what spiritual development are you speaking of? That is a whole new can of worms and I would be interested to hear you out but the site administrator is hell bent on keeping us "straight". LOL.

Maybe I can help you my well educated friend, here is a hint. Don't confuse "Spiritual" with "Religious". Most people can't make the separation.

[Showdown]

I need to share my story because it is a story of even though you know these girls are generally up to no good you can still fall in that trap of marriage (almost) and other expensive mistakes.

First thanks to several ISG members (you know who you are) who guided me through some of the tougher times with the girl I am going to talk about.

The girl I met in Sosua claimed she has only been there a month. She was 27, had two girls, very skinny. She seemed truly genuine. Had the kids by a guy in the states who took off and left her to her own devices. She asked me to help her get back to Santo Domingo and to help her pay her 3 month back rent so she could get back in her house. Her two daughters were living with her mom. The week or so were were together in Sosua she was quite kind.

My first $700 dollar mistake. I gave her $200 for taxi ride from Sosua to Santo Domingo and $500 to pay her back rent on the house she was renting. I, in my mind, was trying to help the girl. She seemed genuinly happy to be back in her home.

That was the last time this girl was nice to me.

After that she wanted $1000 for a used refrigerator, $600 for a new gas stove, $1000 to fix her dilapidated car and to pay her monthly expenses which were about $800 a month (rent, water electric, furniture payments etc).

I foolishly did it all (except the car). When I went to see her (I was going to see her bi weekly) the double door fridge she bought was used! I was so pissed. On top of that I would go to Wal-Mart and bring $200 dollars worth of stuff-pampers for her kid, soap, presents for her etc. Thats on top of all of her bills I was paying plus my airfare and rental car.

You would think this girl would treat me like a king. No way. She was loud, ghetto, aggressive and ungrateful. And my trips to Western Union never stopped. Her food needs went from $300 a week to $400 a week. I soon determined she was feeding all of her cousins and everyone else because there is no way a women and two small girls eat $300 dollars a week. She always needed money for something yet the only time she was sweet was when I was at the airport leaving and when I was gone (always whatsapp "teamo" etc).

Then one day two boys she claimed were her sisters started living with her. Turns out she has been taking care of the boys since they were small. Without even talking with me about it she then wanted me to feed four kids and her and all of the bills. Then she calls me one day and said she needs money every month to pay for a housekeeper to help her clean the house and take care of the kids. You think she would have asked first. She didn't. Then there is the question if the two girls are by two different guys rather than the American guy she was married to.

And the sex was mediorce and infrequent. That coupled with her sagging breasts was really beginning to turn me off.

Her requests for money was insatiable. The women at my local Western Union knew me by name and who I was sending money to. I am not kidding.

Then she really started getting belligerent-"if you do not get me breasts implants another man will do it because I am young, sexy and pretty"."If you do not buy me a new car I will go back to Sosua and find a man who will".

Two straws broke the camels back- I had a friend from the ISG forum call her and pretend he met her in Sosua before. Instead of her saying she has a novio now she totally accepted to meet him and stay with him for the weekend at at resort.

The second straw was her pressure to buy her a new car, new breasts and to marry her. I actually damn near got a 15k loan to buy her a car. But then out of the blue something hit me. The words "hell no". I broke off all contact though she still daily tries to talk with me.

What is the moral of this story? The girls you meet in Sosua are not the girls who you think they will be back in the USA or as wives or even as decent girlfriends. They will constantly push the envelope to get more and more money and will sleep with another guy at the drop of a hat. Why? Because at the end of the day she is a prostitute.

Do not marry these girls. Do not send them money. Do not take care of their kids. Do not go to their houses or pueblos. And do not trust them.

Showdown

Interesting post. I got a friend that met a chica in STI, who had a passport. He felt like he stroke gold because he found a chica that could come visit him in the USA, so he would have all the creature comforts of home with some fresh Dominican pussy. She was supposed to stay for a month, but he told me he had to get rid of her after only 10 days because he got bored with her. In the DR is one thing, but back home where he wasn't drunk all the time and doing normal stuff it didn't work. Now this was just him, but it could be different for other guys.

I've heard about several of the hardcore Sosua putas that were taken back to the USA by gringos. If I was inclined to import a DR chica, it wouldn't be a puta from Sosua. With all the beauty all over the island, why bring home a puta?

I agree about leaving them in their element. Your leverage is in the DR, and your options are much greater if you want some pussy on the side. And marriage. Why?

I would never marry a puta from Sosua. Plus Marriage is overrated, Most women end up fat / overweight and there looks fade overtime, You have to treat these Sosua putas like Leased cars, Good to Drive and Ride Around for a few times, but after a while you trade that lease car for a brand new shiny one.

[Mr Gogo]

Cayrick, thanks for your honesty. It just confirms my belief of following the "Tomjackin rule". No marrige and a different country every month for new pussy.

[Bimmy6]

There is a shop across the street from Rockys. The price is very good less then 10 bucks and he does a good job. Plus you can get a good pedicure and manicure as well. There is a massage parlor next door if you are in the mood. The shop is owned by two sisters in their 30s. Both are attractive and the only women in Sosua not selling their pussy. However there are girls getting their hair done all day. The owners were a lot a fun to flirt with. It is next door to Sosua suites.

I was at this shop on my last trip to Sosua a month ago. As you walk by the girls working there are hawking massages but if you tell them you want more they'll go back to your room for FS. I picked up several there as well as other places on that side of DR. R, including the place across from the NG. But I am not sure who the owners are so they might be the exception to the rule.

[Bimmy6]

I see people saying Sosua is getting expensive and I don't know what they are talking about. I was just there a bit over a month ago and the price for ST was what it has always been in the 6 years I have been going there-1500p. A few might try to hold out for more but more often they take less.

As for transportation I come out of Chicago and that hasn't changed either in 6 years. It has always been expensive-about 6 for a R / T with no overnight layover. I started going to CR at about the same time and packages there used to be about 3, but now that's up to 6 too. I have looked at other cities in the N / E quadrant of the US and they are all about the same thing. The thing is you have to book early. I just saw a trip to POP that I like in 3 months in the upper 5's. But that is unusual. Usually you have to book 5 to 6 months in advance to get that. But rates do fluctuate. I find the same to be true in other cities in the area I refer to.

[Tempoecorto]

For me, it's not about the exchange rate, geographical arbitrage, the price of pampers, who is president in the DR, who won what betting at the cock fight, the price of braces, what a strip club cost in Atlanta, etc. My policy in 2013 is to not go higher than 1, 000 pesos. Like someone else said, it's not about what they ask but what you pay. It's a free market, open to complete negotiation.

I'll be mr. Tacaño with the putas, but I won't be mr. Gringo pendejo.

In general I agree with your first statement, however, as mentioned by Frannie, you really have no control over the macro environment and hence, cannot really lay down a policy. If the shit were to hit the proverbial fan, no matter how strong your policy loyalty is, you may not be able to get away with 1000 pesos much like in the case of gas price.

And why be a tacaño with the putas only? One would think these women are at the bottom of the food chain. You do not think that is a "honest enough" profession as against say, the hospitality industry? As you stated, it is an equilibrium between demand and supply and if you can swing a better deal, more power to you but while there are bad apples in that business, as in any, it does not make everyone a putain to merit a "tacano" treatment. Won't you think?

[Orgasmico]

Its point and click with no hassle of learning a languages, dealing with touts, or trouncing around in 3rd world streets.

There is no think in rationalized value. It is an actual economic value when compared to what they spend at home.

It's all good. As long as you are happy with your vacation is all that matters. I know a little bit of Thai, for instance, but I don't have the time to become an expert, so I kinda know what you mean.

[Orgasmico]

Do yourself a favor. Visit the DR and screw your brains out. Don't fall in love or buy into the kool aid that Dominican women are so much superior to American women. Life's too short. When you feel sorry for yourself that you are alone and unloved, and even if you aren't intellectual equals, you at least have someone to keep the bed warm at night. If you want a warm bed get a dog. Don't sell your freedom just to have another body in your house. There is nothing more lonely than being in a bad marriage. If you are a guy of 50, you are no doubt surrounded by friends who are dying and pussy whipped living in non fulfilling marriages. Sex satisfies your physical side but not your spiritual development. Satisfy your sexual side and ignore your spiritual development and you will quickly learn how unsatisfying life is.

[Cagep1967]

Decided to visit Sosua over the weekend and I was lucky to meet a great girl on the beach there, who I think I am going to marry!

She speaks excellent English.

She is from Santo Domingo and had only been in Sosua 2 days.

She says she loves me.

She never had a gringo boyfriend before.

So for all those Sosua bashers out there, you CAN find true love there!

She was a bit shy having her photo taken.

It seems like some (if not most) are missing the great "subtle" humor in your post.

[Orgasmico]

Guys are going to pay what they are going to pay. More power to you all, LOL.

When I walk up into D'Latin and see chicas that spend money on cat suits, fake hair and Samsung Galaxy 4s and Iphones (while I'm rocking an Alcatel!) , that is enough economics for me. Same as me exchanging my money at Western Union and seeing the line of chicas collecting from the various novios.

For me, it's not about the exchange rate, geographical arbitrage, the price of pampers, who is president in the DR, who won what betting at the cock fight, the price of braces, what a strip club cost in Atlanta, etc.

My policy in 2013 is to not go higher than 1,000 pesos. Like someone else said, it's not about what they ask but what you pay. It's a free market, open to complete negotiation.

If they need a new Blackberry, they can find some other dude who is willing to pay more, and I may or may not catch them on the rebound. I'll be mr. tacaño with the putas, but I won't be mr. gringo pendejo. On the other hand, I'm more than willing to buy a chica lunch that has a regular job in a hotel or give a generous tip to those in a restaurant. I'm generous when I see someone working hard and trying to make a decent way for themselves.

[Tempoecorto]

Why do I sound so negative. I did exactly that.

Sex satisfies your physical side but not your spiritual development. Satisfy your sexual side and ignore your spiritual development and you will quickly learn how unsatisfying life is.

First off, Kudos. It takes serious "balls" to write what you did. I hope some will not jump on you in their self-righteous " I told you so" indignation.

[Cayrick]

To those guys who go to the DR and think they will marry a young and beautiful Dominicana uncorrupted by western values think again. Take them out of the DR and it won't take long to adapt to your culture and values. You then have an under-educated bimbo who will serve as a trophy wife at the janitors reunion. It seem amusing to see them off to the hair dressers or nail salon as a distraction but it it is really an obsession. You are an ATM machine that fuels a lifestyle they could not otherwise have. Most Dominican men are dumb and lazy. The women are not much different. If you marry one make sure you are subscribed to the cable channel that has spanish novellas because that is where they take their intellectual enrichment from.

It all seems exotic and exciting to be a 50 yr old guy with a 20 yr old wife. Wait until you are married and you are consistently an hour late as she does hair, nails and changes clothes. In 5 yrs with all the plantins they eat she will gain weight quickly. If she has a kid and you take him / her out after age 10 you will have a lazy dumb fuckup to support. Why do I sound so negative. I did exactly that. The son is a 21 yr. Old deadbeat with an IQ in the 80's, she was petit when I got married she had the face of an angel and a body made for sin. Now it is an ok face and the body of a beer keg. After 10 years she still speaks pigeon english. Evening are spent in front of the TV watching brain numbing novellas. She is great at spending money but has no idea how to earn it.

Human nature is the same everywhere. She is selling her youth and you your wealth; it is just you don't know it. You won't be supporting only her. There will be weekly calls asking for money. My wife's mother just got a computer and the skype rings every half hour. Amazing how quickly they can adapt to new technology. You are living in cognitive dissonance if you believe you are getting a princess on a budget. In reality you are buying an American woman who is intellectually and economically inferior and starting from a lower level. Everybody says that it will be different for them. Trust me it won't be. I have to escape to my office to hit a book for intellectual stimulation. I won't find it with her and her son.

Do yourself a favor. Visit the DR and screw your brains out. Don't fall in love or buy into the kool aid that Dominican women are so much superior to American women. Life's too short. When you feel sorry for yourself that you are alone and unloved, and even if you aren't intellectual equals, you at least have someone to keep the bed warm at night. If you want a warm bed get a dog. Don't sell your freedom just to have another body in your house. There is nothing more lonely than being in a bad marriage.

Yes, it is interesting if you are out and about at 6:30 or 7:30 in the morning to see how many people are walking to work along the highway while it is still relatively cool.

Have been in Sosua recently and almost every day in the street I see chicas who are just the picture of 20-year-old health and beauty, with long shiny hair, smooth skin, perfectly even white teeth, athletic bodies, and, like all the girls, a gorgeous smile. I don't know why people don't write more about these things instead of keeping spreadsheets of what percentage of girls will fuck for less than 1000 pesos. Who cares? And who really cares about keeping prices low for future sex tourists? I call bs on this. (If it really worked, why don't people do something really useful like refusing to pay more than $3 per gallon for gasoline in the US?). All of these women are potentially available to men with nothing more than a decent income.

Every day I see chicas who have been domesticated and are in longer term relationships driving in cars, eating in restaurants, shopping in the supermarket with gringos, yet all we hear about is how nothing is available except hard core short term sex.

Actually everything is available, but what you see will depend on what you are looking for.

Sosua has it's little subculture of sextourism but the really mind blowing thing about the DR culturally is that when you get outside the tourist area bubble the whole society has a startlingly player friendly attitude. I don't mean the whole country is like Pedro Clisante in the evening. I mean even in little towns a hundred miles from Sosua middle aged gringos can flirt with hot 19 yr old shop counter chicas or chicas at bus stops and they flirt back. They don't flirt back as a humorous crazy thing to do, they flirt back as in here's their phone number to text so we can hook up after work.

Several times traveling in guaguas outside tourist areas hot chicas moved next to me approaching a stop and gave me a quick look that somehow communicated. Pretend to be my novio. OK? I put my arm around them and they molded to my body. At the stop some young guys packed in. After they got off, the chica smiled, said gracias, and moved over a bit. Simple little story. Just avoiding getting groped in a crowded guagua. The last time that happened I kept up enough of a conversation I got her to meet me later and ended up spending several nights with her. No negotiating. I gave her some small presents. When I gave her cash I always had to insist she take it when she tried to hand it back and specifiy it was for some thing we had talked about that she really needed so it didn't seem like a payment but a gift from a novio. You can cynically say that's just a pretense but it's a pretty universal thing to dress up naked economic transactions in social and courtship rituals. Most of the chicas I'm talking about would be insulted and act accordingly if a guy just blatantly offered them money for sex. Most would be very much happier if you took them to eat, bought them little gifts and did no more than kiss them on the first date. Most would go straight to your room and fuck like bunnies on the second date without ever discussing money. But expect a nice regalo. I think that's mainstream culturally normal typical except those from fairly well off families (say the bottom 60 or 70%).

Outside tourist areas it's not that chicas are especially interested in gringos, they would be just as interested in any male who seemed prosperous enough. Being an extranjero though is enough of a badge of prosperity. It's like just being who you obviously are is similar to driving around in a new BMW in richer countries. The broader culture in the DR is much more accepting of younger chica older guy hook-ups as a natural expected thing that has obvious reciprocal benefits.

Wise post as ever from Marc Anthony. Volpone knows the score too.
