Forever Detroit situation (cont.)
Detroit,
First, thank you for your comments. You are really a good writer, by the way.
I have never been to the DR but will hit Sousua in january. I have been to Brazil countless times and Tijuana even more. I am quite experienced at this sport.
I agree with some of the posters that the best thing to do is go into the relationship with your eyes open. I got hurt bad once in Rio de janeiro and learned my lesson.
Sending money is fine as long as you realize that the girl lives in a culture where prostitution is more acceptable than in the US, and that prositution is one of the few sources of real income that these girls have access to.
Expecting them to quit is an assumption on our part that is not often sensible to them. That is unless you are willing to totally support the girl. This is a real option in my opinion only if you can afford it, want to do it, and plan on spending lots of time in the DR (moving there?).
Otherwise, just send money every now and then or a "small" amount on a regular basis. I have found that girls actually appreciate guys who send a certain amount on a regular basis more than the one-time big spender. Here I am giving up one of my secrets that a lot of guys do not understand. The girls tend to blow the big money fast by going out to party, buying new clothes, a cell phone etc. But they use the regular money to eat!
And remember, I think it was YOU who first mentioned novia, GFE, etc., not her! I have done the same thing in the past, only to then start getting suspicous when taken to meet the family. Relax and enjoy the fact that she was willing to take you there. Regardless of what many mongers say on the web, plenty of guys who visit these places will NEVER get taken home. It is obvious that she found you presentable enough to take to her family. ENJOY that shit brother because it is a positive.
In fact, despite what i said about prostitution being acceptable, girls do not really want to be seen outside certain areas in most Latin countries with guys who are obviously mongers. This girl showed you some real respect because I doubt she takes EVERY guy she meets home (I AM GOING TO PM with another question)
The reality is that you/I/we have to put yourself in the position to get hurt in order to find love. And despite what some guys in the ISG will say, you can find it in the DR, RIO,TJ, etc.
In the end, however, love is just like mongering, you are to enjoy yourself. If you enjoy having a girl in the DR, then send her some cash on a regular basis. When you hit town again you will be treated like a rock star and your costs will go down, more than making up for what you sent anyway.

Never been to Sosua or DR
I'm interested in going to Sosua and combining mongering with scuba diving. 1st what hotel would be best for these hobbies. 2nd do you meet these girls mostly at clubs and on the beach. 3rd do the chicas go mainly for white guys, how would a brother with a little spanish do?
