Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;2227550]I have a little trouble with that definition of "American women", in fact of all women. Whether in the DR or everywhere else I have visited, the mothers, despite their jobs (or lack of jobs) and other related pressure, manage to be the prime support for their children. Lazy? Raising children is a full time job and the "Western or Eastern" women do that every day in addition to their regular jobs. Many moons ago, my own mom, growing up in India, was a school teacher and she juggled two existences. I certainly would be nobody without her. I can also cite another present day example from my own personal life. Blaming women is a non-starter.

I would say this though: it was better (perhaps women would disagree) for women to be the home makers alone as the demands were a lot less compared to what a woman has to do today. Certainly, the mothers in the baby-boomer generation has had a modicum of comfort that their predecessors did not have. But, note this: long before women's emancipation, came WWII, and it is that demand that got the women move from home to factories and other places when the men were at war. Of course, you just could not put the genie back into the bottle once war was over.[/QUOTE]Hi T,

Yes, your mom and my mom are part of the generation where women are women and men are men. Yes, my mom worked, too, but it was always family and dad that took priority over her work. In subsequent generations women wanted to be like men so that's what we have now in America and other Western societies. It's the women's loss but it is also our loss because men of means like us now go elsewhere to find sexual satisfaction and perhaps marry a women who has kept the traditional (not the emergent) role of women. No wonder the nuclear family has been nuked. Remind's me of the old song whose title I cannot recall but main lyric is "I want a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad". I love these Dominicans (and Filipinas) who give of their love and bodies so freely for the price of two pizzas. The family and particularly the husband seem to remain a priority to them as opposed to their work and material things. Obviously for many foreign women sex IS their work and love is only an illusion but oh so grand!

[QUOTE=Doker44;2228126]I don't post here anymore for this very reason and why people I know that are expats that live there that have valuable info don't bother either because of the complete and utter bad info of guys that are suppose to be insiders that have hijacked this forum with bad info. Making this mistake is inexcusable! How do you even make this mistake! If you are wrong you should ban yourself! I have literally seen you idiots post something is open because some "chicken man" and I am literally standing on Pedro looking at the closed business. I really wonder how often these so called "Know it all's" are down here!

To anybody researching these forums trying to gather new info take some of these regular posters with a grain of salt, they are probably sitting in NY and come down once a year. So sad this used to be one of the best forums on ISG years ago but a few guys have ruined it.

Rant over!

The Doker44.[/QUOTE]Relax, Doker!

Reliable Reports can come only from folks actually there. To be fair to OldKool, he did say he "could be wrong".

The rest are just opinions, and we all have differing opinions. But I agree, opinions on whether Rumba or Passions was open or closed went on for almost a year! Crazy stuff!

Take any third hand "intel" and "sources on the street" with a tall Presidente Grande.

[QUOTE=DCups;2228327] No wonder the nuclear family has been nuked. Remind's me of the old song whose title I cannot recall but main lyric is "I want a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad". [/QUOTE]I understand where you are coming from. As I was telling you, the nuclear family is no longer but that was through no fault of women. It was serendipitous. I married a white woman, and she is a successful professional in her own right and also raised two children, putting in enormous effort in the process called home. That our marriage collapsed is nobody's fault or everyone's fault and I take it as such.

Women of other places do not change my perspective. Yes, despite the fact that my mom worked and brought home money, she always demurred to my father which definitely is gone. Perhaps what hurts is the male ego (and it did, I can say this unabashedly) but no matter, I cannot see a woman daubed in the wrong color.

Fortunately, love is an illusion that does not obfuscate my vision any longer. Physical senses are what remain important and hopefully with a certain dose of tenderness, the reason why I refuse to pick a woman from the streets of Sosua (as do you) but need to know her a little better, as fortunately some places around the Globe afford us that opportunity. Now, would the women of such places entertain us, for two pizzas as you so eloquently stated, had they had similar opportunities?

Peace!

Hello all,

I was in the Sos for a couple of days and I must say it was nice. Fried fish on the beach, the locals and expats are friendly. If you tell someone no the genuinely listen; except this one old lady and the gum / candy sellers, my god were they relentless. But I want to discuss what I saw from a newbie point of view to the north coast. I want to say this with no malice as I am also black, but man, some of these black folks I saw would be the type that any club except the hood clubs; would not let in or near.

Why are you yelling and so loud? They sell belts for the cheap why not invest in one? Simple saying no or no gracias is acceptable. Not I don't want that shit or I'm good I don't want to go in your place. All was witnessed or saw on the main strip, the other issue I noticed was a bus full of brothers came to town at new gardens, that's all fine and dandy, but within 6 hours I see some of them walking in the street with there shirts off being ignorant like they run the town drunk, grabbing on the chicas, just being very load through actions that everyone can see. Discretion is and should be a major key to how you move in a foreign country.

Now this was where I literally was in disgust like. So Friday night at Classicos, I'm chillin enjoying a drink talking some nice ladies upstairs then all of a sudden I thought someone fell down; No, no one fell down it was Haitian guys jumping and crawling on the floor for pesos that some black guy was throwing from the vip section. He was having a blast seeing these Haitian cats knock over chairs and females to get pesos.

Now mind you no females whatsoever was in vip with them or around them just other black guys laughing and joining in on the embarrassing act of the locals. It was just a shame to be associated with these assholes in color. As I read and talked to some local expats they said the people like the foreign money but they are starting to not liking some of the foreigners.

It was a shame I noticed this on my first trip here so I am sure those who stay here or are frequent visitors see this more often than not and probably shake their head also. Being in my mid 30's it is easier to know who to not associate with and I used that within the first 20 minutes of walking the strip, the loud talker who you could hear from around the corner and the random English speaker who could offer you anything or want to show you around, thanks to this site I knew to stay away from these fools like the plaque.

Summer closing times were 1 am Sunday to Wednesday, and 3 am Thursday to Saturday as far as I recall; now has the feast moved to closing times at midnight Sunday to Thursday and 2 am Friday and Saturday nights as has been recently reported?

BlackJAh,

Agreed.

These guys are cheap and rude.

Peace![/QUOTE]Probably not, my friend! Talk soon. Salud!

[/QUOTE]Whoa! It takes cojones to speak of such stuff, I would think. The reason why these people can afford to do it, is because they move in packs and hence do not have to master the finesse or complexity of living in another land, short as the trip is. Besides, Sosua, at times, feels like NY or Chicago or Detroit. Even the local hangers around shout "yo". To me of course, the loss is of another kind: when I first visited the place in 2011, one could hear Bachata and similar Caribbean music, that told you a story of a different place. Nowadays, and I stopped going to the clubs, for this as well, the cacophony in there is what is known as "music" these days. Hardly any poetry and the beat is just about one, not to speak of "Ho and Hum", every second refrain. How I would love to hear a bit of Jazz!

Venting is over!

It's been awhile since my last post, but look me up😂. I have never been to Sousa but it seems to have that Patts vibe. It's a much shorter plane trip here so am I way off by comparing it to Patts as far as pricing and protocol?. Had a trip booked to Cartagena but the latest post made that place seem like a bit of a hassle just to get ladies to your room! Plus all the issues currently with Venezuela.

What say you old wise mongers?

The.

I'd tell you what I tell everybody before they go. Check out Sosua on YouTube, including "Sosua Nightlife".

If that appeals to you, you may come to love it like I do!

The.[/QUOTE]Maybe cheaper than Patts given the exchange rates; I think vibe is quite different; make your own decision if you want to show up during US Thanksgiving weekend or not because it may be busy as many folks plan on a weekend invasion. Cartagena in my opinion is absolutely boring compared to SOS and multiple companions in Carty at the same time may present an issue in some properties, so you have to take them to a love motel.

I have been reading some information about Sosua lately and found that the closing time of the bars on Pedro Clisante has changed to midnight during the week and one in the morning on the weekends. Apparently, there has been some controversy about the type of activities in the area and this has been a consequence. It won't matter if you're not a late night kind of person, but it's something to keep in mind if you wait to find a partner until later in the night.

I will be visiting Sosua for the first time, I have read many pages of this thread, but as mentioned here, and other forums, Sosua changed a lot, so info I have read, may not apply anymore. Is daytime game available at all at the beaches anymore? Also is Blackbeards still open, I read conflicting reports.

Now this is my most important question, are girls in Sosua bi friendly, as in do they play with other girls, I was in Colombia numerous times, and it seems most if not all did, but when I visited Havana, it was a hard no from most. I will be traveling with my girl who is into joining, so I wanted to know what I am headed into.

How the f. Will they open a disco with this schedule? Pussy parade in the past started each night at 11 pm and then moved to midnight. It's not going to work well.
