Do Dominican women make good wives?

[JMB773]

A lot of marriages in a country like the DR are made under DURESS, so if you have:

Gringo = 50
Dominicana=20

Gringo=100,000USD plus in assets
Dominicana= -50,000RD in assets

Gringo= 18 yrs plus in education
Dominicana=7 yrs at best of education

Do Dominicans make good wives? For some sure, but I think for the most part gringos are better off marrying some from their homeland. Take it from me you can be married to a Dominican woman for a 100 yrs and she still has secrets that her and other Dominicans share, and you will NEVER be included in some of their dark secrets NEVER!!!

Me - 55 and lots of debt- some assets - college education
My Dominican wife - 52 - no debt- plenty of assets($$$)- two degrees in DR, one in Canada.(11 years of University)

My Brother - 49 - high school education - very high paying job - some assets
His Cuban wife - 31 - University degree - no assets- good job
I guess we marry up.

This is for men who want to know the BEST women to love and marry. Follow this order and you will be GREAT like Tony the Tiger.

1. Colombians are ranked #1 in the world, because they have everything looks, warm heart, etc.

2. Mexicans come in second because they are very trustworthy, and they always have your back.

3. Panamanians are just the BOMB!!! enough said.

4. American and PRican women will share #4 because they are similar in many ways. If you want a equal on every level, and do not want the burden of paying 1000% of the bills can't go wrong with choice.

5. Dominican women are fine women, but a lot of damage has been done to their self esteem like the The Great Pollogringo has pointed out. One thing I will say about Dominican women the manipulation and outright deception they bring to the table is very sad. I have NEVER in my life met women that are so openly dishonest. They will stand right in front of their family and friend and tell a lie, and the sad part about is the family goes along with lie. Dominicans are cool, but APPROACH WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!!!!

I am married to a Dominican she is my first and LAST. I should have stay in Mexico like everybody told me!!!!!

So funny, you post this, JMB773. I've been dealing with some Colombianas and your post rings true. Met one and we had a wonderful time for two weeks and she never asked for money. I broke it off later because she was too immature but we still talk. Now I'm talking to a paisa that's 20 and never had a kid. WTF!? And her spanish is almost as good as mine. She answers questions straightforwardly and without irritation. She reads and goes to uni and likes NatGeo and knows that Nueva York is a state not a country. She doesn't want a Colombian because she says they're perros and though she said her father was involved and responsible while she was growing up, he left a few years ago with mom's best friend.

 

[xamaicano]

There you go. If only I could like this post more than once.

In the end?

NO! They don't!

Leave them to the equally rotten and crazy Dominican males to deal with!

Stick to your girls back home, those can fully provide all you want in a good wife!

When I was coming up this trait was referred to as JIVE. It appears to be more prevalent in Latin American cultures among poor, good looking young people than others. The thing is they are so much fun to be with and so beautiful that it doesn't matter, just don't forget what you're doing and start catching feelings. I have seen the result and it's usually not pretty, especially after she eats that last biscuit and we'd rather not see them in the skin tights anymore.

On the other hand there are plenty of marriage minded Dominicanas who apply all the best of the traits which you've mentioned about the other groups of Latinas, unfortunately they live in a World where their expectations are seldom met and by the time the "Gringo Lotto" comes along most are already irrevocably damaged....FUBAR. I'm (un?)lucky enough to have used up all my marriage vouchers so I will continue to appreciate these unfortunate souls with emotional impunity. A little appreciation goes a long way.

A woman is a woman. Every archetype you can find in one country her counterpart exist in every other. For the guys who think that Colombians are the salt of the earth, I can introduce you to my English friend Ian who moved back to Lima, Peru because he got robbed 8 times in Medellin by Colombian women, including being drugged with scopolamine while the girl took everything from his apartment while being out for three days. Is this an indictment on all Colombian women? No. He chose the wrong women. However, to think that you can determine the outcome of your relationship based on a woman's nationality is silly.

Why do so many examples have to be so EXTREME!!!. REALLY she drugged him and then stole everything in his apartment and he was out 36 hours. Next time give a more realistic example.

The reason why I like Colombian women so much last week I was at a party in Cali Colombia and I was in a hot tub with 11 beautiful women they all were topless and I was the only man in the tub, and they all loved me.

I will BELIEVE your story if you BELIEVE mine!!!

 

[xamaicano]

You don't have to believe me. I like Colombian women. I am still in touch with my ex's family in Barranquilla. Her family is amazing. I have Colombian friends who are excellent wives. I have been in a few of their weddings. I chose Ian's story because it was extreme. I was trying to make a point. Colombian women can be as good as or as bad Dominican women. Depending on the choice you make. My best friend loves Colombian women but he has had his share of bad relationships with them.

If you were married to a Colombian or dated one you have to know that they are totally different then Dominicanas. Tell me SIR ,and please be honest. The list I provided which group of women are the BIGGEST CON ARTISTS.

Dominican women is the topic ladies and gents.

 

[xamaicano]

Look, I get it, you love Colombians. I am not here to disparage Colombianas. I mention my friend's experience to show that there are women who are shady in every nationality. He chose poorly and he had bad experiences. The reality is, the average gringo tends to travel to larger cities in Colombia than in the DR and interact with people of higher socioecominic status than they would in the DR, so they will interact with a better class of women. So yes, a gringo in Sosua will more likely encounter an impoverished scammer than one who visits Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena or Barranquilla. It doesn't mean that Dominican women are inherently worst than Colombian women.

In Medellin I felt a pervasive sincerity and courtesy that I never experienced in SD. Even the street people were "educado".
Hell, I left my BlackBerry in a taxi and the taxista(young guy) brought it back to my friend's place. It helped that we chatted and that I'd tipped him well when he dropped me off, but I just can't see that happening in SD. It must be socioeconomics... or something in the Presidente.

I think it is important to find the right person, the right match. Not necessarily someone who meets all of your demands and criteria. If two people are happy together, and their feelings are genuine and mutual - they a good couple. Human intuition usually is the best judge on the choice of a partner. Happiest couples usually meet by accident and like each other right away. Unfortunately most people rationalize too much and have too many expectations for just about anyone to fulfill them.

Good points and a lot of truth in them. But there's something to be said for not throwing caution to the wind and keeping your wits about you. Intuition can be blurred by "love", infatuation or whatever.

Let's not forget the most important variable in the equation. We all, as individuals change all the time. Sometimes if all goes as we plan we will change for the better but sometimes we take a slide towards worser (I just made that up). As individuals we can manage these changes and discipline ourselves toward steady, positive growth but when you become half of a thing which is greater than the sum of its parts (a marriage necessity) then the most important consideration becomes the need for both oxen in the yoke to manage personal change TOGETHER. When one party begins to wonder whether the other has sacrificed the "Us" emphasis on the "Me" then the two begin to drift apart in their thinking and an emotional drift is sure to follow.

Both halves of the marriage must consistently renew their commitment to that thing that they share and work to make sure that the other partner is constantly assured of that commitment. If a Man who understands this and abides by its principles finds a Dominican Woman who also understands and is willing to sacrifice her individual wants and need to the collective they have formed then the answer to the opening post of this thread is YES.

Having said that, I must state that I have been a student, a GI, an employee, an employer, a Dad a Pop-Pop and a Husband and that Husband stuff is by far the most stressful, difficult, complicated and exhausting endeavor that I've ever undertaken and unlike those other jobs the planning, work and sacrifice you put in guarrantees nothing. You can do everything right and still come up "snake-eyes" but then all the work you put in does tend to make you stronger....right up until it kills you.

I have been married to a "Dominicana" for over 16 years.
The ONLY good thing,NOW, is our 3 kids,and her family! Her mother,father,and one unmarried sister
,live with us.
Her sisters and brothers live near by.
One of the reasons that I married her,was her family.Poor,but "Together Forever".
Still are.(An aside,right now,just arrived,two aunts,and 4 cousins)
My wife is hardly involved in raising our children.She is not here much anymore.She comes to sleep,except weekends and holidays,eat,change clothes,and look for money.
Her mother,and I, are the principle care/love givers.
Her father and sister love them to death!
Our extended family is very loving.
Without them I would not know what to do!
I got "Fooled"!
I let my "Prick",override my brain,a male trait!
Everytime my wife leaves,I hope she will never come back!
When we were first married,I would lie beside her watching her sleep,thinking that I would gladly give up my life for her.
Now,I WISH she would give up her life for ME!

Very sad stories. But where does your wife go when she leaves? Maybe you need to go to talk to counselor?

My ex was happy with me. He said he will never be single again, and is happily married now. But I am not Dominican. I am glad I was a good experience for him, so that was able to move on to create a new family, and not be traveling to the DR to look for trouble and loose money there.

All you can do is all you can do.

When the ex's family is in your corner you know you've held up your end. They know you're holding it down while she's looking for something that doesn't exist and ignoring the best part of life right there at home. She'll kick herself later. One day she'll return and no one will care.

I have been reading all the post for awhlie,actuallly considering moving to Santiago in august.many of the post mirror life in the US,but exagerated by 100. By me being sinlge and never ruled out the possible of meeting a nice lady date or wherever it leads to I tend to believe it is far more complicated than I had imagined you know boy meets girl,they like eachother and so on.I guess poverty plays a role but never the less,I think it is beautiful country and I will enjoy all the beauties.Enjoy all the post keep it coming,have learned alot.
