I realize it's almost impossible to meet a decent woman (non-puta) when only on a weeks vacation, but what can I say?....I guess I'm a hopefull, romantic at heart! LOL!!!!
Jackson, dreaming is nice but the reality is that:
as a tourist you cannot want to have a 1/ young, 2/ beautiful, 3/ goodhearted, 4/ educated and therefore 5/ truly interesting dominicana unless you want to come and live on her 'paradise' island.
These 'genuine' or 'decent' girls or whatever we call them, are not interested in moving to a cold and non-spanish speaking country you eventually would want to take them, where the dominican college degree they worked hard for will be worth nothing and where they will miss their family. If they possess the qualities described above, there is no reason why they would not find a good man on their paradise island, so there is no need to resort to desperate measures. The Dominican Republic is not like neighbouring Cuba, where even educated girls take every opportunity to leave their country in order to find freedom and life in a normal country.
So, what can a tourist expect? At best, young and beautiful girls with jobs in tourist areas, where you will ask yourself: 'does she only take me for the money or does she truly love me as well (which is possible)' and which gives great stuff for discussion on this board, see the 'receptionist' and the 'genuine girls on the North Coast' threads.
Just my opinion,
