Bro, the women of the DR are only a little different than those in the states...the ones I've met in the DR are nice! Now for edukashun...you pay for women one way or another no matter where you are in the world....if your question is about paying for "it"....yep there's a ton of pros....and if you're a gullable "gringo" (as in you've been married before, "till death do us part" yeah right) you'll need to watch your heart and your wallet.
If you can understand that ALL women want to be treated nice, have fun and enjoy a good meal with a good friend....you can "trade for it", just like you do in the states...here we call it going on a date. (Your goal is the same, yes?)
As a rule of thumb, I don't send money via Western Union, I only bring gifts I would normally give to girlfriends in the states (NO, let me rephrase that, I treat the DR women better)....if you are smooth enough to find a "non-pro" (sic) and you have a good time, leave a "$gift$" for her on or in her purse, don't hand it to her (it's considered impolite)....
The country is poor, work is hard to get SO if you are fortunate enough to be entertained by a great guest, treat her as such. $1500 pesos ($50US) makes you a KING and you will be treated like one.
Personally, I bring .5 oz bottles of good perfume (Obsession is well appreciated) for the maids at the hotels....I tip the pool guys and get hooked up for whatever I need...taxis for my friends to leave in, booze at the ppol bars, special "selections" etc.....!
I'm headed back in June, bearing a few "gifts from America" although my gal pal asks for nothing (she knows I'm good to her) and I am treated really well when we're together. I don't care about "when we're not together", we each have lives.
When I get tired of dangling the carrot in front of this one.......I'll dangle it before another....
Above all remember, you are a "guest in da house" Act like it! Be polite, tip well and you'll be remembered for it. Peace out!
