It may seem sexist, but in my experience, most DR chicas have no respect for a man they find easy to push around or who is easily taken. I have more than once seen that being demanding, not tolerating attitude, saying no, and other sorts of putting a chica "in her place" has produced dramatic improvements in a chicas behavior toward me. ....[/QUOTE]
Marc,
I have noticed this also, and I don't think this is really sexist either. The culture in the DR lends itself for the woman to be subservient to the man. If the woman sees the man as a "pushover" she tends not to respect him. On the other hand if the man sets limits and is not afraid to say "no" to her, she respects him more.
This concept was explained to me when I first joined these boards a couple years ago as being a Tigre'. I have been with a few chica's who I later found out had a predatory reputation and because I didn't put up with them pushing me around, they turned into real sweethearts. It got to be funny to me because at times the less I spent on them beside normal courtesies, the better they treated me. Now I am NOT talking about NOT treating the chicas nice, but do it on your terms not theirs.
