I'm relatively new to this threading as far as posting my own is concerned. I'm a black guy living in Northeast Florida and I have....a thing....for Latin women, DR women in particular. DR women, when dancing that "up close and personal" bachata, makes me, on the strength of that alone, put them a notch if not two above many regarding preference..... I speak Spanish and I have my fair share of extensive dancing (bachata, for a variety of reasons) on the floor, so I'm not new to the Latin scene, by far. Just wondering what is, if any, the difference in the DR women in the U.S. as opposed to the ones in mainland DR when upbringing is brought into the equation? I hear a lot a good and bad things abt DR women, but no one is w/o pros and cons. Just want to know people's perspectives.

Dominicanas....mmm,mmmm,mmm
i hope you're not trying to catch a domincan woman in the US with your dancing skills. most of the dominicanas i know are hard working, somewhat educated and not looking for a good dancer.
the same goes for the dominicanas in the DR.
with that being said, there are low life women who always admire a good dancer as long as you got money.
*side note* noone really cares that you are black. color seems to be only relative to people of the US. (btw, i am black also.)
good luck

Kyle, I never said that I was trying to pick up a Dominican woman with my dancing skills and please don't insult me by saying there are "low life women" looking for a good dancer. I've dated many Latinas in my day and my best female friends are Latina, my goddaughter is Black and Latina, so I know race isn't ALWAYS a factor in my experience, but like I said, I've heard things abt Domincan women in DR and one of the things I've heard abt blacks, IN DR, is that blacks are looked upon in a "certain light". You are sadly deceived if you think that racial preferences or dislikes only exist in the U.S. But this isn't abt race. I inquired about upbringing differences of Dominican women on two different lands which u have failed to answer thus far.
Generally speaking, people in other nations are raised and brought up a certain way, and yes there are varieties and the varieties are marvelous, but I was wondering if however the DR women are raised in mainland DR, is that same upbringing held tight in the U.S. within the Dominican population?
BTW, Kyle, I wasn't trying to be rude if I came across that way... My apologies if I did, broham...
Any time you compare someone raised in the US versus another country, there will be differences. And I would not want to generalise about Dominican women.
There are differences based on where they were raised (city or country). There are differences based on class (economic, social, education ...). There are differences based on prior "exposure" to "gringos". And more. I'm sure that you get the picture.
The absolute BEST perspective will be your own. You are in NE Florida ... a trip to the DR should not be too far out of line. There are some cheap flights, and some inexpensive hotels to help you out with that. But keep in mind, it's a large island and each area has a different "flavor" to it. So plan on spending some time exploring (or multiple trips).
You speak Spanish, and that's a big plus. That will help you get away from the touristy areas. That way, you can get an accurate perspective on the REAL Dominicanas. Good luck with it!!

Kool beans. Thanks for your input, Major. Makes plenty of sense and I wasn't meaning to generalize because I don't like it in some instances, just curious I guess.
People can offer advice based on their own experiences 'til their blue in the face (fingertips?) and you still won't be any more prepared when you get there.
Here's what I read:
. You prefer Latin Women
. You speak Spanish
. You dance bachata
. You live in Florida (close)
. You're relatively young
All these things considered, why are you not in the D.R. right now? Go to the Capital for a long weekend. Visit the dancehall in the Jaragua casino and ask someone to dance. Go to the Eagle Sports Bar on band nights and ask someone to dance. Find a trustworthy taxi driver and give him $50 to take you to the best bachata dance clubs in town (pay him at the end of the night) and ask 100 Women to dance. One of the 50 who respond "si!" will want to go out dancing with you again.
At that point you will begin to learn the differences.
Good Luck
Thanx for the input, greydread, and good observation... A very good question indeed as to why I'm not in DR right now. Actually, I've been wanting to go for a while. Guess I should just make some plans and head on down there and enjoy myself. Maybe sometimes to be not so prepared is all part of the fun. Thanks for the info...
You got it. You've already gotten all the preparation you'll need. I'm one of those guys who travels the world with a file folder full of preparatory materials, research results, local area maps and travel reviews not to mention the complete CIA World Factbook report on the country I'm visiting.
By my third day in the Dominican Republic on the first trip there I ditched the dossier because all the research in the world couldn't prepare me for the place and I had clearly run into one country which enchanted me more than the dozens of others I'd visited and I've returned dozens of times in an attempt to understand why.
I have examined the good parts, the bad parts and the boring parts in the middle and I still can't give a clear answer so it must be true love. With that comes full acceptance of what I find there; good, bad, beautiful and ugly. It's a package deal in the "Real World" Paradise.
One of the people who understood and shared my enthusiasm was another guy from DC who I would run into on connecting flights sometimes. We knew one another from our favorite watering hole along the Potomac. I didn't see him around for a few months and one day while walking down the street in Santo Domingo a guy on a moto calls out my name and I turned to see my fellow DR enthusiast on the thing. He had moved there, sold his business in the States and moved it there and is doing very after a year and a half. The guy is living his dream and last month when I saw him he was in the running for "Happiest Man on Earth".
So yeah, go and check the place out. You never know what it might lead to.
This chick already has a gringo boyfriend pero...

The Answer is Carinosa
Very good question. I too found myself with this same exact inquiry after my first (and only so far) trip to the DR. It wasn't until after that trip that I developed my "thing" for Latin women. For a blitz of about a month or so after returning to the states I found my self taking this deep dive into everything Latin. I thought for sure at that time that I was all done with American women and was destined to be with a Latin chic. My research led me here to this site and I found a thread with this exact same conversation and one of the replies stated that the main difference between the DR chicas in the states vs the DR was "carinosa". It went on to explain in the posters opinion that the DR women born and raised in the US are similar to American women in some ways such as feminism etc, but the young campasinas of the DR still had that carinosa. Now, what is carinosa you might ask? That's that tish that dreams are made of!!! Thats that stuff that had my governor hiking the Appalachian trail!! (lol) I met 6 women on that trip and just about fell madly truly deeply for one of them. It had to have been carinosa or voodoo or something...

Color seems to be only relative to people of the US?? Really. Hmm...thats interesting. In the US you have Black and White, in the Dominican Republic you have Negro, Blanco, Canela, Jabao, Blanco Oscuro, Casi Negro, Blanco Claro, Moreno, Prieto, Indio, Moreno, Trigue?o etc. But I guess since Color isn't relative, those are just useless random words that came into existence from sheer boredom.......But by all means, BLACK to the topic at hand...I mean Back to the topic at hand.
But if a Black guy wants to dance all he needs to do is go to a few Santo Domingo clubs said:
Hey Bernard, two things I just wanted to get clarification on. Your post states that you feel that Dominican women are nearly always carinosa, does that goes for the ones born and raised in the us also? Because if so then thats definitely a game changer!
Second, I watched the youtube video about racism in the discos. I dont speak spanish yet and could only make a few of the words. The tone of the video seems show contrast between what happens when a black guy trys to get in that club verses when a guy from another race. I think there was like a hidden cam on eather the doorman or the owner of the club explaining the rules about who gets in or not. Can you or anyone who can speak spanish tell me exactly whats happening in that video and what the doorman or club owner was saying when he was on camera? Thanks.
Basically, the darker folks are told that they can't get in because they are having a private party while the lighter folks are allowed to enter. In cities around Latin America, particularly those in countries with a significant black population, there are usually a handful of clubs that always seem to be having a "private party" when a black person tries to enter. It is code for no blacks allowed. Sometimes but not always this includes foreigners. According to the video this policy extends to black foreigners trying to gain entry into these clubs in Santo Domingo.
No. The more time they spend in the US the more they tend to idealize and emulate American women.
