Berzin, you under-estimate yourself. You speak perfect spanish and you are a young man with education. You can do alot better than the rest, even myself included. You can certainly get out of the beach areas and easily mingle with the better crowd in santiago/ santo domingo. Maybe you should give this a shot, your perception of DR will change 180 degrees.
Now back to topic:
If a tourist comes here to get sun and get laid, then no place is better than tourist resort area. We are talking about folks who actually become friends with the poor resort scam artists and then confuse them for real domincians. I have seen so many expats and tourists complain how domincians only want their friendship for money, visa, marriage etc etc. how domicians ask for loans, how they think foreigners have unlimited cash, how foreigners live in homes made out of gold in their own country etc etc etc. I want to know what type of chopos you folks hang out with to only think most domincians are like them. Where I live, we see no poverty, no visaless people, no hookers and no low lives. If I want to see all that, I simply have to go to a barrio and I will be just as alienated as the rest. Why surround myself with the useless folks who are nothing but problems? Is this what you look for when you are back in your own respect countries? I guess not.
Why not just come for vacation, have fun with the hotel staff, do whatever that gets your rocks off and then move on? Why fall in love with them? Why look for problem?
Now if you want serious love, then get out from resort and find serious folks like yourself. I don't have intimate dominican friends who want my money, or looking to marry me as a way out of this country. We are all equal here in my circle. We don't look up to no one. This is when problems become smaller and smaller.
