notion said:Maybe she's not aware of the high security and that he won't be able to see her there? Are guests not allowed to invite friends to the resort?

DRsherry said:I am a mother of a 28 year old daughter, and a 32 year old son. I have been travelling to the DR for almost 5 years now. I have seen and heard many things, but have to say this post from Suzie takes the cake.
I too am also Canadian. I must say that as a mother, and reading all of the posts here, for the last couple of years, the behaviours of young Canadian girls is something else!
I have read posts that have said maybe it's something in the water or whatever. As a Canadian I surley couldn't tell you what IT is. I do think maybe ONE of the problems is, that these girls think "oh it won't happen to me" they always think it will be someone else. THEY HAVE NO FEAR! And I don't know how you can instill some fear into them, so that they would tread more cautiously.
Just my 5 pesos worth!

I agree with you. These women have no fear. And these women have neither a brain nor common sense.
These women need to wake up from their fantasy world and come back to reality.
notion said:Yes, some do need to wake up. I'm still not sure whether Suzie is one of them. I've never been to an AI, especially not Gran Ventana, but I imagine it's pretty safe staying there, safer than staying with that bloke at his place.
And if he's allowed to visit her w/out problems I don't see why it's ever so selfish that she chose that resort, Charlielyn. After all she's paying the difference.
But a reply to DRsherry: it's not people Canadians, who fall for these men and women.
The people are from all over the world, US, Canada, England, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, ...
And many of the times the parents just watch it happening ("it's just a holiday flirt") and only start to panic when their daughter falls pregnant and wants to move to the DR.
And I don't think you can put that kind of behaviour solely down to fearlessness. I think they only don't want to miss out on an opportunity and find it an enticing thought to have a holiday romance for a long time, sometimes even for life.
This kind of thing is not only happening in the DR. in Turkey, MArroko, Egypt the same game is played. But many of those cheated women there are in their 40s or 50s. Just goes to show - fearlessness isn't an age thing.

I do not think all of these girls are lonely. Maybe some just like to live life on the edge. If they get caught up with a Sankie, then that is too bad for them. Does not mean they are all lonely. All people know of these girls is what they post on this forum, you don't know them in person, this may be out of character for them. You can't just assume who or what they are based on a post. But some do have these issues and it is sad.

I absolutley agree with your reply to my post. This whole con-artist thing is all over the world, happening in different countires. But this site is about the Dominican Republic. I was really only commenting on Canadian girls where I am Canadian, and alot of these girls who post are young Canadian girls.
Young girls live for the moment and be damned with the conquences of the relationships (until it falls apart)
As for the older women in their 40's 50's, well that's another story. I consider myself a pretty attractive women in that age bracket (so I've been told) and have been travelling to the DR for around 5 years. I have never been with a Dominican man, not that they aren't attractive. And I have a great time when I'm there, but I think the bottom line is........... I respect myself and I believe smart enough not to fall for the great lines they dish out. If you can look in the mirror in the morning and be happy with what you see, you have alot going for yourself. These women are lacking something in their lives. They are lonely and need attention, to give their ego's a boost in self esteem. These guys see that in their eyes, and play off of that. It's sad but true, but this will never go away as long as there are young lonley girls/women who don't think before they leap, and also lacking confidence, and self-esteem.
Thank you Potato Salad for welcoming me to the board!:classic:
notion said:Are you sure? About that seeing-it-their-eyes-thing? Don't they just try it on with everybody?
I'm also not so sure whether it's all about low self-esteem. Maybe it is also partly down to naivity and the need/wish for romance in one's life.
You don't need to be lonely to thrive on that kind of attention that a sankie pays his victims.
And also - if you're very self-confident, wouldn't it be logical that you, too, believe a sankie's word? Because of course your the most beautiful woman on earth and he wants to marry you, who wouldn't!?
Do you see what I mean?
I think there are a million and one reasons why women fall for sweet-talk. You cannot judge their character or private situation by their falling for a sankie.
Just my 2 cents as Potato Salad would say!
