Re: Meeting Dominican women
There is no "right" way. I have met and dated many Dominican women, both in the DR and in the States.
In the DR, as posted earlier the women are intrigued by foreigners. Sometimes the more exotic the better. I'm the kind of guy that stands out in a crowd. 6'4", 245lbs, long ponytail, and tend to dress differently than most Dominicans. I get all kinds of attention, anywhere I go down there, from bars, to supermarkets to Baseball Games.
The number one thing that will help a ton, is knowing some Spanish. I know enough to get by. In English, I tend to have a wild sense of humor. Luckily even with my limited spanish, I can get the women laughing very easily. Just like up here, it is a sure fire, ice breaker.
My current novia tells me that I am funnier than any of the comedy shows on TV down there, and judging by how she laughs pretty much all the way through our phone conversations, I tend to believe her.
Also many, Dominican women are not that crazy about Dominican men. My novia was wearing a very cute dress one day, and when we were heading out for lunch she changed into pants and shirt. I asked why, and she said that if she wears that dress in the street, she will be bombarded by lewd comments from the Dominican men.
After going out with her a bunch, I've found she is right. I was speaking to her on her cell phone the other day while she was on line buying some barbecue chicken. The guy behind the counter of course made a lewd comment,and she got upset. I'll be visiting her home town this weekend, and told her I want to eat some Barbecue Chicken. Then she can ask the guy if he remembers what he said to her while she was on the cell phone. Then she can nicely point to the big, scary looking gringo (me) and tell him she was on the phone with me;-)
Should be worth a few laughs!
