I been on and off this site over the last few years and I noticed a trend. About once a month someone start a thread to put down the country. Why leave your native country only to complain about your adopted one?
The last thread was Colombian vs Dominican women. So much negativity in threads like those. Although its mainly 2 or 3 people. Others complain about the cost to live comfortably. I been here for 4 years and that never was a problem for me. Some complain about the infrastructure and others complain about the people.
Then they always use a bigger country in Latin America as a measuring stick. Comparing D.R. with Colombia, Mexico, or Brazil is foolish. Those countries are wealthier and do not face logistical hurdles like the island nations. Wouldn't a fairer comparison be of another island nation with a similar GDP?
Some people are just lightning rods for negativity. I'm not naive, but I rarely run into all the issues some posters talk about. My house and car are payed off and soon I will install solar panels to rid myself of the electric and gas bill. Its called planning ahead.
If you're struggling to get by then you should of planned better financially. If you can't stand the people then you gotta ask yourself what is it about you that attract the annoying, rude, and disrespectful people. As for the women; beauty is subjective. Everyone has their own opinion. You do not have to belittle a certain group because you chose the wrong ones. My lady never asked for a green card and have no interest in moving to the U.S.
I love the D.R. and have no intention of going back to the U.S.
