Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=SavePros321;1844763]Good post Gogo. I think you should repost this in your forum since it covers a wide scope of mongering spots.

I'm another one of those over here in a holding pattern for Brazil once the Olympics is done, lol. Medellin has been my go to spot for the last 4yrs and running, but Santo Domingo is in my line of sight this year. Never given Bogota any consideration just yet, but those Bogotanas are just as stunning as their Paisa cousins.

Probably will look into doing a quick weekend hop to Sosua, but man the airfare alone makes it discouraging. Especially when I can get to Colombia for less than what it would cost me to go to Sosua. And not sure if I am down to do an 8hr bus ride from SD to Sosua (I know a lot of you Vets have done this numerous times). STI seems to always have the Red-Eye flights, but might not be too bad if you are looking to spend time in Santiago to begin with.[/QUOTE]If you really like Medellin's setup SD might disappoint you. Granted they both are large cities with plenty of chicas. I've only been to Medellin once and Santo Domingo more than my fingers can count. If it wasn't for BC, Santiago, Sosua, and the other smaller city in close proximity I would be traveling to Medellin more. Even though my first trip to Medellin wasn't nothing to brag about. Medellin was strai8 up. The prices are lower and I can light up with no problems. Chicas in SD come with a lot of bull. Our free night Mr. G imported chicas from San Pedro. Why? Santa Domingo Chica are full of shit. So if this strictly for females you're not missing anything in Santa Domingo unless you just want to strike it off your list. Now when it comes to the DR and Columbia. For me nothing can beat the hometown feeling the DR gives me. Add the beach and enough said.

Even when I was traveling here I'd never have any problems getting girls hassle free. My very first time ever on the island (I'd guess you call me a newbie) I was "adentro la toto" (inside the pussy) within two hours of wheels down in SDQ. Knowing nothing and having nothing set up before hand other than the hotel. Call it beginners luck if you want too. But I've never had a problem having more than enough girls to fill my social schedule at any given time in Santo Domingo. I even read on the board that most of the girls in Sosua are from Santo Domingo. Exactly what happens to them on the bus trip remains a mystery to me.

But I was thinking along the lines of what Old Kool does and what Gogo did: import chicas from out of town. Most of the chicas I met on Dominican Cupid during my run up to SD years ago (trip never happened) were from either San Pedro, La Romana, San Cristobal, Santiago, etc. I agree with Old Kool's approach in that if they are hopping on a bus to come and see you, then they already know the deal.

The SD girls I met on DC seemed to be down to meet, but I don't know if it turns into a different story once you actually have boots on the ground there. I guess if a chica flakes you can always hit up a casa the relive yourself. I don't see myself doing more than 4 days in SD Tops.

They play the" I'm looking for a boyfriend" role while localized. Sosua and Boca Chica have chicas from surrounding areas that understand when they go there it's P4P. SD and Santiago have chicas that will play the good girl role while in their cities but get them out of where they live and P4P comes into play. San Pedro girls love to get out of their city and trick. I have met very few chicas who were born and raised in Sosua who trick there. Most are from other places but if you saw them in their hometown they would give you a totally different vibe. I'm noticing that chicas once they know you (Through Dominican Cupid) will hop on a Gua Gua from their hometown on the south coast, to go be with a gringo quicker than girls from the north coast. Maybe it's because girls on the north coast (Sosua, POP, Cabarette) have more gringo options. Or maybe it's because the girls that live on the north coast despise Sosua and don't want to go there and compete with the SD girls. I've also noticed that the girls I imported to Boca Chica from SD and SP didn't want to go to the strip but wanted to have a meal, drinks and then to the hotel room. Part Time P4P don't want to be around known trick spots and that's understandable.

But that means nothing more than simply getting out of the barrio (neighborhood) they are from and not being seen on the street with you. I've never had a girl flake on me from Dominican Cupid. Only one did not put out. And none of them asked for money up front. Yes, if they are hopping on a bus to come see you, then they already know the deal. And don't forget about referrals. All these girls have friends who also know the P 4 P world. Land here at the right time when girls are looking for money to pay their rent, university tuition, purchase school clothes and supplies and P 4 P available for about 80% of the women here. There are also the old fashion ways of meeting girls. Seeing one you like and actually talking with her right there. A rather novel approach. Requires language skills. But it works. LOL.

[QUOTE] I was "adentro la toto" (inside the pussy) within two hours of wheels down in SDQ...[/QUOTE]Thanks for the translation. She was probably laughing so hard at your attempts to speak Spanish that her pants fell down. I have never been to school to study Spanish, but I can tell you that "toto" is a masculine noun, because all common Spanish words that end in "o" are masculine, except for "la mano", "la foto", "la radio", "la moto", and "la libido" and a couple of other words like "polio" amd "virago".
Also "adentro" must take the preposition "de" , do it would be "adentro del toto"although this expression would not make a lot of sense in Spanish anyway.

That's because Kool knows the layout of Santo Domingo. He has years under his belt and a backup plan of Chica he has already dealt with and knows the deal. Your ability to speak Spanish will be a plus for you. We kool SP so I don't want you to slip without yo boi giving you the heads up. DC is good at meeting chicas. A lot of chicas use the sight as a full time job. Hustlin America prepping them for Western Union noviolization. Without any plans of actually meeting them or giving them attention. I learned from Mr E. While we both were in Santo Domingo setting up Chicas to come over. I was trying to set the times right so they wouldn't bump heads. Mr E said f* that the first group that gets here is how we operate. He was right when meeting new chicas. Even those chicas arrived the next day. Most chicas don't have a sense of timing. I have had plenty of Santo Domingo Chicas after spending long hours of conversation with them in the US not show up or be seriously late once I arrived. Importing chicas can also lead you stuck all day with ungratefuls. Asked Surfer. You said while in Medellin you haven't had the need to fish outside the city. Why we a lot of us fish outside of SD? To avoid the bull. This is why I say it you are used to Medellin style Santa Domingo may disappoint you. Prior planning prevents poor performance apply here. A backup plan for your backup plans backup plan also applies.

What I do is go hard about a month before my trip (line up about 30 girls) and try to get them over to wassap, and let them screen themselves. Some will talk the love / relationship shit, others will go through a feeling out process and then you will have the ones who understand what you want without the games. I give them an arrival date about two days after my actual arrival date and see who bites. I like Boca Chic because it is directly between prime pulling spots and you have the Boca Chica strip as a backup plan. San Pedro / La Romana are a 30-60 minute bus ride and SD is about a 45 minute bus ride. Actually Boca is a transfer point so all the buses have to come through there. I was surprised because I thought most chicas wouldn't want to come there because it has a seedy reputation but most of the girls had no problem coming to BC they just didn't want to go to the strip and be around tricks. Thats why I now use Grownman's spot on the outskirts of BC by the highway, plus the bus drops of at the corner.

I stay away from the Dominican cupid girls who have more than 2 kids because traveling could become a problem. Try to find the ones who live alone and don't have jobs. I offer dinner and drinks and dresses to sweeten the pot. The girls face fierce competition so the early bird gets the worm. I believe most of them would have fucked for free trying to lock me in for future dates and payment but I don't play that game. The tough part is ignoring their pleas for more.

I would hope with all the planning and co-ordination, prepping, back up plans and synchronizing watches, y'all have all finally figured out how to pick up a hooker, and pay for sex.

If they're any newbies out there, Hey, it's not that complicated.

Bring money!

LOL.

What you get from planning is girlfriend for a few days. This translates into morning sex and DFK other things you do not want or can not get from a SW. Vacation time is expensive and precious. The Cupid girls are not free or cheap but they can be a very rich experience. I want a girl who is not having sex full time if possible. I use wasup and Skype to get a feel for the person. This can also create an excitement before meeting. Picking the right girl from cupid is the trick. I flirt and play with them. When they send me sexy pictures bingo. These are the ladies that go on my short list. The bottom line is it easy to find sex in the DR however getting a quality session takes a little time and effort. Casas are always there but the sex is boring to me. I will do SW in SD every now and then. Most SW can be engaged if you have a interest.

At the end of the day you want to find what satisfies your taste. There is no right or wrong. The longer you play the game the harder it is to be satisfied. What is a great time for a newby may not do any thing for me. So I keep trying to up my game. The hunt for me has become as much fun as the conquest.

LOL.[/QUOTE]Indeed! Picking up a hooker in SD is not complicated. You can just go to the strip where they hang and make a choice. DC is an option because some people want the GFE. They want to meet a chica, develop a rapport, have things set and ready in motion for a more intimate relationship than wham, bam, thank you maam. DC, Tagged, Badoo, and others similar can offer that but not without their drawbacks.

I have just spent a month in Sosua and around the area, so feel relatively well qualified to report on the scene. I was here in December and preferred it, less chicks around but better quality. The atmosphere was also better and easier going.

Recently a guy posted here that there were thousands of chicks on any night in Sosua. This is nonsense! On an average night in Rumba Bar there are maybe 100 to 150 chicks, the majority of them are pretty average. Just came back from there tonight Sunday and the choice was pretty bad. Only Thursday and Friday night does it get really busy with a good availability of nice looking women. Anyway, I go to Rumba bar because it's where most of the action is, not because I like the place. I don't enjoy it either when they just play heavy New York urban rap constanly, not my kind of music really!

When I was here in April 2014 Rumba bar had some serious competition with D Latins, now it doesn't really. I remember women then in D Latins in general made an effort with the guys, dressed nicely, all wore high heels, and were as receptive to white guys as black guys. I know this is maybe a touchy subject but I prefer to be honest. So I don't know what has happened since then, either I have got a lot older and uglier (or the women just prefer New York black guys more now?) The scene there has definitely become more urban New York, and the women who go there seem to be into that and not much else. In Rumba bar nowdays the girls are much harder faced, most walk around in flat shoes or flip flops, and dress like they just stumbled back from the beach.

They expect to be approached rather that approach the guys. If they approach you chances are they are not great looking! They spend more time staring at their mobile phones than the guys. They seem to be more networked, gang like and wander in and out of Rumba bar. A few real lookers come in, ignore everyone except the group of guys from New York buying whisky and champagne. So something is going on and something has changed here anyway. Maybe the best looking chicks are more likely to be taken or booked up as it's the high season? Or maybe they are getting spoilt and can be more choosy as Sosua is getting busier as US visitors have increased because the US economy has picked up?

Anyway, they can do what they like, but many don't seem to be there just to make money from random guys anymore. There are also very few lighter skinned brunettes around compared to 2014, most are mulatta or black. I like to be with morenas, mulattas and black ladies. I have seen a lot less fresh looking freelancers on this trip than on my previous 4 trips to Sosua. There also more Haitian women here than before, and Haitian guys around too. The town in general and Rumba bar especially is also more dominated by black New York guys than before. I have no view on that and we get on just fine, just telling it like it is.

The service in Rumba bar is pretty bad, as the barmaids spend 80 % of their time serving the camarero's and not the client at the bar! They also spend ages filling out their stupid manual receipts which is a total waste of time. Merengue bar is a nicer place to be, however it is empty before around 11 pm, and tends to attract even less good looking and more hardened women than Rumba bar, especially early on in the evening.

You know the scene is not great, when you spend as much time checking out the women working in the stores, restaurants and hairdressers etc as the ones available in the chica bars! I want to take a chick back from the chica bars because she is so gorgeous I cannot resist her, not just pick the best one around because I need a shag! But honestly at the moment, the majority in Rumba bar are very average girls trying to dress sexy. Half the girls working in the Playero supermarket for example are better looking than they are!

I have never had a safety problem in Sosua, but feel I should report some incidents. I guess when you're here for a month, there is more chance you will have witnessed some things than if you're just around for a few days. Last Sunday night there was an argument between occupants of 2 cars at the intersection where Rumba bar is, where one car blocked off the other one. The guy got out of his car and started kicking and punching the other car, then went back to his car for a bottle and threw it at the other car. It smashed on the side of the car, and glass shattered and went over people sitting beside the hamburger kiosk across the street. Nobody was injured but still. The guys in the car being attacked drove off in a hurry! Tonight in Rumba bar there was a fight, people scattered and the security guys had to pull people apart. A girl was evicted. On Friday night when I was in Classico's nightclub it was raided by the police. People started to get nervous and I was afraid there would be a crush for the exit but I got out fine. I was a bit worried as I had no ID on me, but apparently they were just looking for Haitian women!? Of course throughout the whole month there has been the usual pointless routine of the cops trying to arrest women walking between the bars at night. Better to arrest the annoying motoconchos as far as I'm concerned, some of who pester me daily even though they have seen that I have never used one! Maybe all the Gringo's look the same to them?

A couple of weeks ago I went into Puerto Plata with Metro bus. Anyway, walked to La Sirena, had something to eat there, there walked along the Malecon and into the centre around the shops. There were some tourist police around who drove past on the malecon keeping an eye on me and other tourists, of which there were not many. Anyway, I walked through the centre around the shops then took the Caribe tours bus back from there. So I had no problems. However the next day I read on the internet that a 75 year old German tourist who was with a guide at the time, walking on the same street as me the following day, was shot and murdered by 2 guys on a motorbike for his gold chain! This really shocked me because firstly I felt safe there, and also because nobody warned me about that before I left, at my hotel or otherwise. But when I told people about this back in Soua they just shrugged their shoulders and said that was sad, but then said that Puerto Plata is really dangerous and there are loads of Ladrones around. So I could have been that guy who was murdered and nobody here would have blinked, and it made me think that just because a place feels safe, doesn't mean it is! The security guy where I'm staying also warned me not to ride a rental motorbike or scooter into Puerto Plata, as gangs may knock you off and steal your bike. So I will have to think again before casually just deciding to venture there for a day.

A detailed report, but you left out the best part, getting well laid.

The chicas in places like Rhumba like to party so that's what you get. An old white guy like me, who just wants to take them back to the room, fuck them, and fall asleep watching television in the afternoon, is not going to have the ones dressed to kill, lined up waiting for us :)

But seriously, as mentioned here often, Sosua has more to offer than Rhumba. For me personally I like the fun of the selection process, and I need a nice relatively quiet bar with a little local music, where I can have a conversation over a Presidente, before we get to the nitty gritty.

As always safe is what you make it, safe for some, not for others (a single tourist wandering around a big city is always a target) and the corner of Pedro Cilante with all the bars and competing women, is always a potential trouble spot. There's a fight every night.

Best check out the other bars, and keep an eye open for the locals in the stores, restaurants and hotels.

Good luck!
