General Info

[QUOTE=Yanqui69;2083944]The poster mentioned that he intended to be in bed by midnight, so the nightlife preferred by some will be lost on him.[/QUOTE]Nightlife at Sosua begins at 4 pm on the beach, and 6 pm downtown. Common Guys, you know how it works there... Oh, and at Sosua, if CuriousFun likes beach there are two. Sosua Beach, with a nice curve, plenty of restaurants, bars, and animation. (although you can have a very good chair and umbrella by the end of the beach). And just next to it, Alicia beach, much less frequented. Very nice also. If you hate crowd, that's the place to be. I hope all these posts from different people and point of views will help you. Have a nice stay! I envy you!

Everyone always has lots of options and that's great. Its nice to get feedback from many points of view. I appreciate all the contributions.

And yes, I am already on BBs mailing list.

Part of me feels its best to wing it and decide once I am there, but I am concerned about getting a reasonably priced room either in Sosua or at BB if I wait until the day I need it.

[QUOTE=CuriousFun;2083896]Thanks. I am not planning on doing too much other than relaxing on the beach and finding company. I think that is one of the reasons that BB appealed to me.

My Spanish is very basic but taking a course now and practicing almost daily, so I should be able to have a basic conversation by the time I get there. And google translate can help as well.

What is FL?[/QUOTE]Freelancers.

[QUOTE=CuriousFun;2083895]Well yes, I would think that would be obvious. In all my mongering, abroad and in Canada, I have always treated the woman I am with like a lady.[/QUOTE]In that case, you have the right attitude, but there are others who expect GFE without giving BFE.

As others suggested, if you are with family, passing time in Sosua, it should give you an insight into what is available there, but a one time chance-meet hardly ever guarantees GFE, I dare say. I have been to BB as a visitor once to see the much vaunted beauty contest so cannot really comment about the women but perhaps your odds of finding a compliant person might be higher, there. Also, perhaps you should try both experiences to figure out for yourself what works for you. There is a cabana in Sosua and so if you can give your folks the slip, you might try once taking a chick to a cabana and see how it pans out.

I forgot: if ever you go to Sosua at the main Sosua Beach (Playa Sosua), the best beach chairs are almost at the end of the beach. They are the only one to have RED chairs, with a thick and confortable mattress and structure is made of wood: you can't miss them. Not the plastic white and blue one that you find everywhere, on which you spend 10 minutes to lay down, because once you sit down on it, it folds. They have also very good and cheap food! Ask the restaurant for a chair and umbrella, and tell them you will eat there: you'll get a discount for the chair (or even free, I don't remember)

If you don't hit it, I will.

[QUOTE=Parkinsons;2083564]True story, but file it under "strictly asking for a friend":

"I've been chatting with this DR girl from Tagged. She's all down for meeting up when I'll get there. Out of curiosity I looked her up on FB, and the first post, from a few months ago, says she's now engaged -- to a New York brotha. There are about 50 comments from his friends congratulating him, so it looks kinda legit. ".

What are your thoughts:

A. Leave the chica alone! The brotha obviously is in love with his investment. Let no man put asunder.

Bb. It's all fair game. Give her a few dollars. Hit it!

CC. Justice warrior is my part-time job. I got to warner brother! PM the fiance in New York.[/QUOTE]

I currently have flights booked to Rio for February and am in an awkward situation. Should I cancel and rebook to DR?

DR seems to speak a lot more English than Brazil.

DR seems cheaper to eat, drink, monger and to live in general.

DR has better beaches in my opinion, whiter sand and clearer water.

Brazil, I have more chance of crime happening towards me.

I would like some help or even advice on where to choose. The only thing keeping me going to Brazil at the moment is the girls and me wanting to experience Brazilian culture and their women.

Help me choose!

Know that I have been to Rio twice but in 2000 and 2001, I have never been to DR, yet anyways but I am glad that I went to Rio back in the day 17 years ago now if for anything else just to experience Rio and the beaches and the women and the culture. The DR is on my bucket list but it is much closer to USA and yes I read better bang for your buck.

Just like my visit two years ago to Cuba, it is an experience that I really enjoyed, same as 4 months ago visiting the Philippines and Angel City was always on my bucket list of to see places.

I write and share this as I enjoy Colombian Paisa women here in Medellin Colombia.

If it was me I would just go to Rio, I don't think you can go wrong.

TTM.

TTM.[/QUOTE]I feel that going to Rio without being able to speak any Portuguese will be my downfall. What do you think? I think Brazil is more suited to mongers who can speak the language rather than somebody who can't speak a word. Wherever I go will be a risk, but I feel that in Rio I will be taken advantage of because of the language barrier.

Do I take a massive risk and head to Brazil or a little risk and head to DR?

Another trip in which I have depended on Dominican cupid. For me this method works really well. Some of these girls are using the venue to find " short term relations" and others are truly looking for a spouse. In other areas you can have some success but the smaller towns are going to have much smaller choice and should not be your only option. I have always tried to schedule to meet with 4 girls a day. 12,3, 5 &8. I try to screen them to the pointe of asking some if they want to spend the night with me. The 7 pm one is picked based on their answer. 2 hours is almost ok. Most of the girls are on Dominican time. One was actually early and one you could have set your clock on. The rest were 15 minutes or 2 hours late. Interesting when the 2 hours late is back to back with the early girl. Just be ready to handle it. No shows are about 50% for me. I am sure if you are more aggressive by calling them you can get this up 75% easily. It amazes me how one girl can look so different in the fotos and then look completely different in person.

When they show up expect the unexpected. I have had some simply go into the room bathroom and come out butt naked and some who refused to do anything more than light petting on their first date.

Good luck & happy hunting.

Excellent approach and observations, SS. If you go to DR once or twice a year you will have a regular roster of girls but can always add and subtract based on performance and availability. I assume you are using whattssapp with the girls. Cheers.

[QUOTE=StokerStar;2085809]Another trip in which I have depended on Dominican cupid.[/QUOTE]Be careful with that site. I remember a guy in the Medellin thread saying they screwed him over with the autorenewal shit. So when I signed back up 3 months ago I turned it off. Then last night I was thinking I have been on this shit a long time. Usually they send an email saying it is about to expire. I went on and looked and that autorenew was mysteriously on and lo and behold it charged me for another 3 months yesterday. I wrote and told them I did not want it and they basically said fuck you. If I wanted to be a dick like they are I would just call American Express and cancel the transaction.

Original message.

Seriously. When I signed up for a 3 months subscription I turned the autorenew off. Now that my 3 months are up somehow it is mysteriously turned on again and I am enrolled for 3 more months? Give me a break. I had heard from other people that you guys were doing this. Please cancel this new subscription and refund my money.

Hi,

I live in Canada and I understand that you can exchange CAD To DOP in most places in Sosua, is that correct?

Is it also true that most hotels want to be paid in USD? Will they accept CAD / DOP?

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2085862]Be careful with that site. I remember a guy in the Medellin thread saying they screwed him over with the autorenewal shit. [/QUOTE]I think they also upped their rate within the past year? I signed up one month at a time before and it was $24.99 now it's $34.99? That's too dang much money. I'm loving Tagged because it's free. Also not as confusing to use as Badoo. I'll find out how the true results compare to Cupid next week.

I actually had trouble with the auto renew. The only way around that is to cancel the card or in the case of pay pal they will let you block any charges from the site.

What I paid the girls varied from 500 to 4500 (which is close to $100). I tried to be fair with the girls and if they came to see me then I made sure they left with at least an inflated taxi money. The $100 was a total la noche with a very lengthy session in the morning. Another total la noche received 2,000. Am service not very good. Go figure the night was fabulous.

I will repeat with the 500 and not the 4500.

You can give them money for taxi and they will probably catch a bus and definitely not pay gringo taxi price.

I did not really use whatsup. Just message to girl. I think if I had used whatsup up the success rate would have been close to 100%.

The girl takes a chance if she shows up and you are not there. Which I never did but some our cohorts might get caught up and skip a meeting.
