2. Selfish, inconsiderate people (capital)
3. I didn't remember the summers were this hot
4. I still don't like rice and beans and neither yucca. or sancocho. or locrio. or platanos.
5. Every month there is another imprevisto that takes you out of your budget (like someone said in the other thread, make a budget and double it).
6. I miss the developed world.
Positives:
1. Beautiful country (outside the capital)
2. Nice weather in autumn, winter and spring
3. I couldn't live my work life like I am doing here.

Both lists. Pretty available women.

I already gave a list months ago so I won't do that again. What I will tell you is that the best benefits of living in the DR are NOT THE PEOPLE. This includes the women. The women, prostitution wise, are cheap in price but so are their services, they are no match for a $1,000 an hour top rated American ex pornstar hooker, in looks or performance. I've been with them so I should know. If you want mind blowing sex save your money and hire top rated American girls. If you want cheap but mediocre sex come to the DR.
The best part about living in the DR is the lifestyle. The weather. The beach. I'm indifferent to Dominicans themselves and sometimes find them annoying. They tend to be backward, incompetent, corrupt, or all the above. There are good Dominicans to but they seem to be underrepresented. The energy costs are also a benefit, last month my power bill was $12, clearly you will never see a $12 power bill in the USA. If you can look past the people the DR is wonderful. If not you won't like it here.
The women are overrated. Please stop. Men like you are ruining DR women because they think they are God's gift to mankind. They are not. Dominican women are second rate in bed and terrible conversationists and I've been with enough of them to know
"If you can look past the people the DR is wonderful."
Isn't that a bit like saying "It would be a great school, if it weren't for the students and teachers?" lol
Our favorite nihilist is baaaaack.....
Dominican women are second rate in bed ...
You don't read books anymore?
I'd better not say on a public forum what book I'm reading now...hehehe.
Not true.*
At least I do not know which nation would be first choice.
Anyway, even 'paradise' girls get less exiting after 35 years.... :tired:

But how would you know?
As far as I remember you need Dominican women only to double yourself...... which after all is not the best gift to mankind anyway.

"I want them to understand that they will come to a beautiful country with beautiful weather and beaches that is populated by many morons."
Much truth in this... unfortunately. Doubt that will change ever...
I just finished a book by Bruce Lee. It is called the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. I'd better not say on a public forum what book I'm reading now...hehehe.
