[QUOTE=Manizales911; 1294305]SS,

What you say is true but put yourself in their place for just a minute. You go to their country and fuck their wives, girlfriends and daughters for a measly 35-40 bucks and don't want to give them a two dollar tip? Come on man, if you've been there before then you know it's going to happen so just deal with it. I hate it too, they make damn sure that you can't carry your own shit less than fifty feet but it's not like they are charging you $100. For christsakes, two bucks, get over it dude, I have. It ended up costing you more in the long run, you must have known that if you stand in a public place and call people out that are handling your luggage that they were going to steal shit out of it, geez. You're lucky your bags showed up at its final destination at all. Don't go to a third world country if you can't deal with third world nonsense because every one of them has something about it that us first world citizen's aren't going to like.

Sorry for being so harsh but it is the reality of it all.[/QUOTE]Good post Mani. I think this was SS's first trip to the DR, but he was there for a month. That should have been more than enough time to get understanding how things work in a 3rd world country.

Before leaving I always make sure I have at least 100 to hand to the porter when I get dropped off at the airport. Never have to go through the extra curbside baggage scanning and most of the time get to jump everyone else in line waiting to get their boarding passes.

100 pesos is a drop in the bucket considering (as Mani said) you are banging their young and beautiful tenderonies on the cheap.

Sorry for being so harsh but it is the reality of it all.[/QUOTE]I would never check a bag in the DR, so there were no worries that my bags would not get there. I also got on the phone with USA officials as they searched my bag, which scared them. So I was not concerned about their power or ability to prevent my luggage from getting to the USA.

My problem is that I feel I was set up. In fact, another passenger even asked why they were picking on me. It was blatant.

And by the way I did not go down there and fuck the way you implied. As I stated the environment in Sosua was not amenable to my tastes this time and I actually did very little with the lackluster women in town last month. Based on other posts it seems other agree things were down during May for some reason.

I do take offense with your attempt to tell me where to travel. Dude I have traveled all over Latin American and the DR has some of the worst quality of life issues. These people act like elementary school kids! Are there any adults there at all! It is not a Third World thing, it is a DR thing!

I have never gotten treated this shabbily and unprofessionally in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, etc.

More than likely I will not return to the DR but if I do I will have my bananas ready for the agents to eat.

SS[/QUOTE]Why would that scare them? You are in the DR.

[quote=sunset strip; 1294317]100 pesos is a drop in the bucket. dude, do not ever tell me what to do with my money. who in the hell are you supposed to be jerkoff to come on here telling me what to pay somebody?

ss[/quote]this is the same guy inquiring about $25 a night dumps in puerto plata (hotel kevin), 300 pesos haitian "jack-shacks", and then wants to scream bloody-[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] when the porters want to help him with his bags for a tip.

take your broke-cheap ass back to mexico!

ss[/quote]hey ss,

a couple questions for a rookie dr traveler.

-what did they confirep001e?

-were these dr airport security, or the airline employees?

-were these your bags you were going to check, or carry on? would this have happened if you had carry on only?

thanks!

[QUOTE=Sunset Strip;1294323]Save as Pros you were there this last time when I was there. We might have to meet somewhere to settle this one! Serious on that.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Sunset Strip;1294295]The entire time I went on a tirade calling the agents monkeys, thieves, and worse. Next time I plan to give them bananas.[/QUOTE]First of all, I am no small guy by any stretch of the imagination. The Dominicans may have let you get away with it, but if you EVER called me a monkey in my face I would absolutely go ape-shit all over your cheap 300 peso Haitian jack-shack ass King Kong style.

[QUOTE=Sunset Strip;1294323]We might have to meet somewhere to settle this one! Serious on that.[/QUOTE]Quit kidding yourself! You couldn't even give the porter 20 pesos. I doubt your broke ass has any money for a return trip!

[QUOTE=Sunset Strip; 1294323]My suggestion is that guys (such as Save As Pros and Manzi) who are willing to let DR airport agents, porters, etc, act unprofessionally, unethically, and prejudiced, should should not monger outside DR. You types are the ones who cause prices to inflate, girls to become disrespectful, and locals to extort money.

I am not sure if Save as Pros and Mani have been elsewhere besides the DR but it is not the end all of the monger world.

That comment that I "should know how things were since I was there a month" was flat out disrespectful.

Save as Pros you were there this last time when I was there. We might have to meet somewhere to settle this one! Serious on that.

But back to my retort. It is silly in my opinion to give in to these people. I have filed a complaint with the USA Embassy and hopefully those agents will lose their jobs, if not already.

That is the way to handle things not by acquiescing but by putting these unprofessional people in their place. Save as Pros and Mazi are the type of people who ruin a mongering destination.

SS[/QUOTE]SS, you totally missed the point, you are in THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY amigo, you play by THEIR rules in a third world country. The complaint to the USA embassy is a joke, the porters are laughing at your gringo ass.

Fucking up a mongering destination by giving a baggage handler two freeking dollars and respecting their albeit fucked up ways of doing things? Smoke another one Bobo.

For the record I have mongered in about 15 countries and have traveled to many more and if you acted like you did in many other countries they would haul your ass off to jail, they could have done that to you in the DR, you were lucky actually. Whether you like it or not,"this ain't Kansas Toto".

[QUOTE=Sunset Strip;1294313]And by the way I did not go down there and fuck the way you implied.[/QUOTE]I have news for you. If you had sex with any women at all then you did in fact fuck someone's daughter and most likely someone's wife or girlfriend.

One more thing,it is an unwritten mongering rule that to not tip the musicians in the POP airport brings very bad luck with the ladies,you probably stiffed them guys too though.

Thats one thing I never fail to do. Unwritten monger rule, baaaad baaad luck! LOL. Both coming and going!

Keep doing your thing SS, I like your passion, dignity and how you stand up for what you think is right!

Some rules of thumb in the, weed out the scammers, don't make friends so easily in the DR, don't overpay like some of these patos on here, tip where you are "suppose to" and be "fair", you're right don't tell anybody how to spend your hard earned $$$

Now let me get back to the game. Jejeje

That was some BS that Manzi just spat! Monger rules about paying DUDES! What's next, is he going to tell us we need to pay somebody to aim our cock* into the hole? This is ridiculous and exactly why I, and some others I associate with, stop posting on this forum. Too many guys jacking threads and flaming posts.

I posted a warning to real men about the crooks in the POP airport. Manzi comes in and flames me with some shit about how "real" mongers pay other MEN to carry their bags a few feet! Then SaveASpros said he gives these men 100 pesos! DAMN! That is a racket.

[QUOTE=BlancoVikingo; 1293562]I just wonder how much I should send to my girlfriend per month, while working in Europe.

In Colombia the minimum salary is like $300 US, an engineer makes only 4 times as much, then you have people who make very much, but they are few, according to Colomian statstics.

I think $500 US could be fair, since it not to much for me, and $1000 would make me fell like a sugardaddy.

I have never done this on a regular basis and always avioded girls that ask for money- period.

Anyone who can give me advices?

One idea could be to pay real bills, like the her our / rent, university, healthcare security. It would make sense.

Well I have try and see how it works out.[/QUOTE]The starting salary of a doctor here in the D. R. In a hospital is 18k which is round about 500 dollars, just to give you an idea.

Seems some people are wimps, simps, and bitches, while others are mongers and then others are actual players. Anybody coming on here trying to tell other guys to pay MEN is not a real monger, and certainly not a player. When did that shit become part of the game? It never did. It is just Manzi and Saveaspros flaming.

DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT TO FLAME ME AS IF I AM A NEWBIE. I could care less if you have been to the DR a hundred times. I did more in a month than most guys have done in years! So Manzi and SaveASPros GO to HELL! You better leave me alone before this shit turns into some real, not internet, gangster stuff!

'Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. '

LOL.

SS[/QUOTE]Thanks for the entertaining roid rage, instead of answering my question. Guess what everyone is saying about you is true. This is suppose to be a forum where guys of similar interest share info. For the common cause. Not a forum where you can hide behind your keyboard and make up stories about how many girls you screwed for free, and how they carried you down the street, praising your sexual skills.

I've already had other mongers PM, explaining what to expect. Now don't bother responding. Don't want to take any time away from your previous eruption.

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]pop airport agents are all thieves. first, the porters are in league with the cab drivers. for me the europa driver dropped me off right in front of the porters. they grabbed my bags out of the back of the taxi van without permission. i had to fight them to get my bags back.[/quote]they always try to take the bags without permission. personally, if i don't want their assistance i just tell them "no thanks, i'll do it myself." never occurred to me to try fighting with them.

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]i knew i was target then.[/quote]yeah, well, fighting with baggage handlers gains you respect elsewhere on your travels or in the us?

[quote=sunset strip; 1294295]i highly suspect the agents were told to harass me. these dominicans work together to steal from us.

and yep, they thoroughly searched both my bags. the entire time i went on a tirade calling the agents monkeys, thieves, and worse.[/quote]checking bags for contraband items is standard. i have had stuff taken too, like toothpaste or nail clippers. now this business of calling them monkeys-have you tried this play out in other countries or in the us and found it successful?

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]next time i plan to give them bananas.[/quote]again, i would have thought this would be interpreted as an insult. see news reports on throwing bananas at the euro soccer championships, which is usually interpreted as a very insulting gesture by fans against certain players of the opposite team.

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]they confirep001ed numerous items.[/quote]well, here we have the crux of the matter. exactly what did they confirep001e and did they offer any reason?

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]i lost a lot of respect for dominicans on this trip. the incessant begging, lying, and stealing basically spoiled my vacation.[/quote]sorry to hear that your vacation was spoiled.

[quote=sunset strip;1294295]ss is still angry.[/quote]ss needs to ask his mommie to give him a big hug and make it better.
