So there is a thread on DR1 at the moment from a highly respected board member who has been unable to get a US visa for his Dominican wife. Many highly respected DR1 male members have responded. There is a large age difference = over 30 years, from the OP as well as some of the respondents. No problem. But does anyone say "Where is the popcorn?" Does anyone mention the "rules" that you should only marry Dominicans who have traveled abroad, no large age difference, money in the bank, credit cards, same level of education? Not a squeak.
Yet for women with large age differences, even much less than the OP on that post, and with boyfriends, husbands etc who have no US visa, no credit cards etc then the comments come flooding in within seconds.
Now me personally, I have zero issue with age difference (I am 14 years older than my husband), nor with education differences ( lack of opportunity here and education level does not reflect intelligence), but why on earth is it that in the thread I am referring too the OP is treated with respect and has intelligent and well thought out replies, advice and information, but if a woman asks the same question she would be met with scorn and laughter?
Remember ladies only to reply - any men will receive infractions.
