What the fuck do these chicks think a prostitute is?

I went through this big to do the other day with this chick that I fuck who lives in Bonao. A while back she was asking for money and I told her no. I said I am not sending you any money, but whenever we fuck I will give you 1000 pesos. She agreed. So that is the deal we have been working under. The other day I was telling her to tell me she is my puta. She said no I am not a prostitute because prostitutes have a lot of money.

I said WHAT! Are you aware that there are many prostitutes in Sosua and Boca Chica? She said yes. I said and you mean to tell me that they have a lot of money? She said no, but I do not go with men like that. The only person that I have sex with for money is you. She claims she has only been with 3 people in her life. I said but it is irrevelant how many people you do it with. If you have sex for money with 1 person or 100 people you are exchaging sex for money which is the definition of a prostitute.

She said but I only do it because I need money for my son. Uhh it is irrelevant the reason that you are doing it. It only matters that you are doing it for the definition to be fullfilled. I asked so we could have sex and me not give you 1000 pesos? She said no. I said exactly. The same as La Sirena is a store. You go there and they give you something and you give them money. If you do not give them money then you can not get anything. The reason they are called a store is because they exchange goods for money, the same as a prostitute exchanges sex for money.

Now I just met another chick online right this minute who had a picture of her in the mirror of a hotel bathroom. The first message I sent her said you are at the resort or hotel with your boyfriend in the picture huh? She said I don't have a boyfriend. Yo me busco me dinero En LOS hoteles soy madre soltera why tengo q mantener amis hijo ok. (I look for money in the hotels. I am a single mother and I have to take care of my kids.).

I said ahh so you are a prostitute? She said Eso no es prostituciand siempre why cuando sea para pagarle el cole a mi hijo la manutenciand de mis hijo (That is not always prostitution when I use the money to take care of my children.).

I said yes, if you go to the hotel with men in order to exchange sex for money, that is prostitution. I have not heard back from her after that.

So what the hell do these women think prostitution is? Obviously they believe when they are doing it, it is not called that.

I have seen examples of this contradiction before. I think Mr Gogo's reply is close to reality.

I have seen chicas admit to being "prostitutas" but adamantly deny being "putas. " "Puta" in the dictionary can be applied to both prostitute / Wh*re, and "sl*t". " So a chica will admit she is a prostitute, but deny being a sl*t.

As a form of rationalization to salvage some dignity, they view prostitution as a job, but separate that from themselves personally. As in your chica's example, if she sells sex to care for her children, that's different. Its not prostitution, its what I have to do to feed the kids. Some will also have the view that "prostitution is what I DO, its not what I AM. " So, if they feed their children by selling sex, its not the same.

In a purely rational sense, it makes no sense to us gringos, but its a form of rationalization. "Its what I do to feed the kids, but I am not a sl*t / bad person".

(This ISG auto word censor is maddening. One can say "prostitute" and "puta" and "wh*re", but "wh*re" also gets replaced with "working girl" and "s-l-you-t" gets bleeped, or the letter between "T" and "V" gets replaced with "you". Nuts).

They still have dignity brother. You know what it is and they know what it is but does it have to become a major topic in your conversations with them? Your mind is so advanced that maybe understood shit is too simple for you or maybe you have another motive. You stated in a previous post that good jobs are rare in the DR so people won't abuse the opportunity; so with limited jobs and a women has to trick on the side to feed her kid, why does she have to be labeled and degraded for this? I think it's that Atlanta hustler in you trying to convince these girls that in order to not being labeled as a trick by you they must fuck you for free LOL.

If I see a picture of a girl in a resort possibly tricking I would file that info away and not call her on it. What did you gain by calling her on it? She stopped speaking to you. She didn't fall into your trap of not being viewed by you as a hooker in exchange for free sex. You are a smooth brother.

What is it with Dominicans not being able to deduce? One of the most intelligent chicks that I deal with was recently telling me that she went to the dentist and had to get a retainer. I asked her if it was gold. But sometimes I get languages mixed up in my head so I was writing "ouro" which is the Portuguese spelling instead of "oro" which is the Spanish spelling. Any normal non-Dominican could probably tell that I meant to write "oro". We went through this big thing of me saying you know is the metal that the retainer made of ouro? She could not for the life of her figure out what I was asking. Which is really fucking surprising seeing that 9 times out of 10 if you are writing with a Dominican they don't even spell worth a shit. Even if she had sounded out what I had written it would have been the same sound even though the spelling is different.

It also amazes me when we are talking about something and if I don't directly reference that same thing in a follow up sentence then they appear to be completely lost. For example:

Me: There is a black cat outside my door.

Her: Yeah I really like cats.

Me: Oh my god, it has gotten into my garbage can.

Her: What happened to your garbage can?

Any logical person could deduce that the cat I spoke of in the first phrase is the "IT" that happened to my garbage can, but not them. Why is that?

Or if I mistakenly write nafa instead of nada because of the proximity of the 2 letters on the keyboard. They are like what is nafa? But if you ask them why they are spelling all kind of crazy ways they either dodge the question or get upset.

Another fairly intelligent chick always write g instead of q. Por gue. guiero. I have literally never seen her write a q. When I ask her why she writes g instead of q, she has no earthly idea what I am talking about then starts to get angry. And I have met this chick in person.

She is apparently not very well educated, that is all. You are simply not used to being in the company of ordinary people.

In America you will see storage places everywhere advertising "climate controlled" storage, however if you ask, the storage is not controlled for humidity or temperature, "climate controlled" just means "indoors" or "under a roof", because Americans are not familiar with the word "indoors" and apparently don't know what "climate" means either.

As far as your girl not self defining as a "puta". Do you prefer to be addressed as a John? Is that what it says on your passport for "occupation". Why not?

All cultures are different, and what we have here is just cultural relative morality.

Like all morality it is inconsistent. Stealing a banana from a fruitstand for your hungry kid is not the equivalent of an armed bank robbery. Going with a married man to a hotel and accepting a gift for the family is not streetwalking.

Two of the biggest rakes I knew in the U.K. were Irish Catholic brothers, and after heavy partying Friday and Saturday, would go to Mass every Sunday. Because I was working with them out of town on a project, they wanted me to go with them, even though I was not a Catholic. Great guys though, and it all seemed to work for them.

As for language and spelling, just think of a teenager texting. "We don't need no damn dictionary spelling"

Just smile, it's life.

From DR1 24 May 2016.

Dominican population getting fatter.

"According to a new report by Deloitte, in 1980,6% of the population of the Dominican Republic was obese but by 2014 that figure had increased to 22%.

In 1981, the National Statistics Office (One) reported that the country had 5,545,741 inhabitants, and now there are around 10 million.

Deloitte's report points out that obesity usually means a shorter life expectancy. The report highlights that in Spain, one in 12 deaths are attributed to morbid obesity. In the United States, morbid obesity is a major cause of mortality, especially from cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

The report adds that a population with high rates of obesity places a greater strain on health services. It is estimated that people who are obese spend 42% more on medical products than those who are not."

Gentlemen, real talk here! I was not bragging about getting back down to my BMI weight. It is a serious health issue. You have to be healthy if you want to put in work on the chicas like I do. My living will says to take "no extreme measures". Only mouth to penis resuscitation is allowed. If it doesn't get hard then let me go. If I can't fuck, I just as soon be dead. LOL.

I cut them loose. They wanted me to go with them. They are big boys and do not need a chaperon. I am a lone wolf and like it that way.

Do you even realize how bad that post comes off. They went without you and now you are hating on them? Wonder why they cut you back?

[Mr Gogo]

Two guys I turned on to the Dr are on the way to Sosua so any one on the ground look out. One guy was so bad I refuse to ever go any where with him.

I remember one of my girls was constructing a second level to her parents house. She showed me a few pictures of the contruction in progress. I asked her why the corners of the house are being torn down. She told me to add a second level the house needs columns. Most barrio houses are constructed withouth columns. A lot of people died in Haiti earthquake for this reason. I can, t imagine a house in my country (Puerto Rico) being constructed without columns.

I have felt a few earthquakes over 5. 0 . One of them was while I was in my apartment of a 14 level building. The building literally swings left to right. I observed my building complies with current seismic regulations on its construction and maintenance.

Another time, on Christmas eve, I was on a Christmas party with relatives. Suddenly we heard a sound similar to the sound wolves make followed by the earthquake of 5. 7.

A big concern about construction and earthquakes is the type of land the building was constructed. Bedrock is the best kind of land to construct while buildings constructed on landfills and near the sea usually are less resistant to telluric movement. A map of lands was presented a couple of years ago for the first time in the DR. There are a lot of buildings constructed in inappropriate areas of the capital. A big earthquake is expected to DR and Puerto Rico from now to the next 20 years. Technically we are past due on having a big one. There are a 2/3 chances of a tsunami with the expected big earthquake.

Santiago also experiencd tremors in the last year or two. It sits right on a fault line. The island has multiple seismic fault lines, and a long history of devastating earthquakes.

(Source: Dominicantodaydotcom 2012).

"Active geologic faults cross Hispaniola, shared by Dominican Republic and Haiti, give the two nations high probabilities of seismic activity, such as quakes and tsunamis. Recorded from 2003 to September 2011 were 3,586 telluric movements, of which 1,979 had magnitudes between 2. 4 and 5. 4. One of the active important blocks for seismic activity is the country's north, with the 300 kilometer long Northern Fault, which goes from Manzanillo, Montecristi (Northwest) to Saman (Northeast). Also in the north are the Northern Fault and the Puerto Rico Trench. Both groups border part of the Atlantic Ocean.

Among the most important seismic events, in magnitude as well as in damages caused occurred in that block, but felt in the entire country, was on December 2, 1562, which destroyed Santiago and La Vega.

On May 7, 1842, a magnitude 11 quake was catastrophic for the entire island, bringing about the destruction of Santiago, Montecristi, Mao, La Vega and Cotu, while the tidal wave unleashed along the north coast killed thousands in Haiti.

In the island's western edge there were severe damages in Cape Haitien, Port-de-Paix, Fort Libert and Mole Sant-Nicholas. There were also damages in Santo Domingo.

The most recent catastrophe was the January 12,2010 quake magnitude 7. 0, which leveled the Haiti capital Port-au-Prince, where as many as 300,000 people died. ".

These major catasrophes may be centuries apart, but that's a blink of an eye in geologic terms.

A jolt from a 4.2 earthquake was felt in the Dominican Republic at 9:12 am yesterday, Thursday, 19 May 2016. UASD Seismology Institute director Eugenio Polanco said that the epicenter was 6 km northwest of Santo Domingo, in the LOS Alcarrizos area. No damage has been reported. The tremor was felt in Greater Santo Domingo, Bonao and Villa Altagracia.

According to the US Seismology report it measured 4.2 on the Richter scale and the epicenter was 5 km north of San Cristobal city.

I felt this one. I have absolutely no confidence in the structural engineering or build quality of my building. After I felt the initial jolt I went out onto my balcony and waited. Figured if I was about to die might as well enjoy the view. LOL.

Exactly! You made a mistake trying to correct me and yet you cannot MAN UP and admit it. It's really as simple as that!

Seriously? Have we regressed to 8th grade now? Why not man up and just drop it? Or is this silly tit-for-tat game that important to you?
