Can we get a like / don't like button?
Very well said and right on!
[QUOTE=Oakie;2250991]Having had two long time relationships with chicas (not from Sosua) and spent time with their cash poor, but self sufficient families in the barrio and up in the hillside towns I have a different take on the social attitudes of the locals, quite a bit different from the usual monger's analysis frequently presented here.
Dirt poor families want the best for their children all over the world, but down here the routine is a local girl gets snapped up by a local no job chico and left with a bambina or two and then he goes on to the next one, or disappears altogether. Esta la vida! Family finishes up taking care of daughter and her kids.
Now she's tainted goods, saddled with a kid or two, she's looking for a job to help support her family. No jobs, but if she's presentable, her cousin in Charamicos, PP or SD can get her on the game, to make some real easy money to buy stuff and send home.
If she's not very bright, she'll end up walking the streets in Boca / Sosua, but if she's a little smarter, and personable, she may end up a regular GF for a foreigner who will give her money, nice hotels when he's there, and even send her WU, even if he's only down there a couple of times a year. She can live![/QUOTE]
