Is it always just business as usual?

[DRShine]

Um, excuse my ignorance but...

what's an AI? Sorry, but back to the topic, I can't say I think it's probable but possible. Another thing is (forgive me for digressing), that's gotta take some guts to do that. They take advantage of the poor, stupid tourist then dump em flat after sucking em dry. But maybe the sankie/sankette is just a product of their situation and not of their own desires. Maybe if they were'nt born into the unfortunate situation that they were, they wouldn't depend on mind-****ing tourists to marry them and pay for them or some other thing like that.

AI= I believe stands for All Inclusive. They use this term for the resorts that are all inclusive.

 

[Mr_DR]

99.9999% of sankies do not fall in love because that is bad for their business
and when they start to sense the feelings they immediately cut all communications with that person even if it means to jeopardize their sankie's bi weekly dues...

A perfect example of this in my opinion is in the case of DG's sankie. I am very sure that he sensed something for her but decided to cut communications with her even when it meant his $500.00 sankie's allowance that DG was so willingly ready to give up, and much more.

Hell, if this sankie really wanted he could've manipulated DG into almost doing anything he wanted, and then on top of everything she gets upset because he decides not to play her by not communicating with her anymore.

One day she is going to realize how lucky she was and that unfortunately many others are not so lucky.

 

[britishgirl]

Nah, I dont think they fall in love or develop feelings for their targets. If they were the type of person who did fall for people, then they wouldnt make their money off people like that. 'Cause a sankie is gonna have more than one victim, if he kept falling for them what kind of sankie would he be? Not a very good one and from what I've read on DR1 and based on what I've seen, sankies are smart enough not to "fall" for the foreigners.

DR Shine you must be new...LOL

Yes it means All Inclusive... Sorry, I don't buy this at all!! Millions here are born into the same situation and would NEVER stoop to this type of behaviour. They are parasites who take advantage of the gullible and vulnerable. That being said - everyone is responsible for their own actions, their own choices! You can't be taken advantage of unless you allow it!!!!

These people - sankies - choose this way of life. They choose to deceive!!! I do not judge those who provide sexual services, escort services etc.... Make no mistake they do not lull you into thinking they love you! You get what you pay for. With sankies the issue is deception - not being paid for a service....

 

[planner]

Hmmmmm

Planner, you are wasting you time with folks who live in canada and log on the Dr1 and try to impose their social values on a culture which is totally arcane to them. They have no clue as to what living in Dr is all about. I simply feel its better to bang my head against a concrete wall then to try to explain things to these idealists. Thanks god I have my turbin on or I would be brain dead by now from the blows.
Planner lives in POP and knows what she is talking about. Unless you folks live here, you have no idea what its like to live in a 3rd world caribbean country.

Thanks AZB, can I borrow your turbin....my head is starting to hurt......

but

Let me tell you who sankies are.
They are all poor from ugly barrios (ghettos) of this island. They work in resorts and resort areas (beach vendors, tour operators etc). They are always seen in discos and hotels. They have no education and their only art is talking in english, dancing and picking up easy women. These guys don't know where Dominican republic is on world's map, let alone know any other countries. They are usually from broken families and from country side with their family from their mother's side. The girls are also from poor back ground and often come to tourist industry to make a quick buck by going out with tourists. Many hotel young employees just want to hook up with any foreign woman to leave the country. Some guys who are good at it, go out of the country with a foreign woman (marriage) and then come back when they realize they have to act like a decent husband and work their butt off to make a living. They come back and get back in to sankie routine. This time they make several girlfriends and use them for money and gifts.
These hotel servents are only seen as servents by their own people (dominicans). Not a single sankie has ever dated a decent dominican girl from santiago or santo domingo. They are not encouraged to talk to these people because the decent domincians know sankies are servent class of this island. Sanky will never make good money in DR because he has no education, class or social status to be accepted into society. These poor guys can only work odd jobs to survive, thus their only means out of poverty is to get hooked with a dumb tourist girl who would take him out of this island.
You will never see a sankie with a decent dominican girl. You will not even see them talking to a decent dominican girl. These fancy dominican girls look down upon these hotel servents.
Dominicans can't figure out why so many educated looking foreign women go head over heals for these servents? What do they see in them? Why do they find them attractive? Why do they stoop so low to pay for them?
now you know why decent dominicans won't socialize with tourists?
Its all too simple, you invite a decent looking foreigner to your house where you have invited several other decent proud dominicans and what happens? The dumb foreigner brings in his or her cheap boyfriend or girlfriend from street. yes, I have seen this all the time, a foreigner bringing in a cheap street hooker or a cheap sankie pimp from hotel industry. These hookers / pimps just don't fit in to the same gathering as decent dominicans. The foreigners have no clue what is going on. The same foreigners take the cheap street pimps, hookers to fancy restaurants where they sit side by side decent dominicans and dine. They take them to fancy plazas where decent folks shop, thus bringing down the reputation of the business. I see so many street chopas know so much about fancy restaurants all over santiago. They constantly dine in camp david and paparazzos etc. These girls eat rice and bean everyday and would not be allowed to crosss the street where the restaurant is located yet you foreigners take them to these establishments to ruin the reputation of the business. When will you all learn to socialize with people of egual status? what is wrong with you guys and girls?
How is it that people coming from the richest country in the world with decent education and act so dumb and cheap?
I just don't get it.
AZB

Did you ever meet someone from Canada or the US. that has come from a broken family with no money and is a very nice respectable person? because i have and it doesn't mean they are low life losers. You can't reffer to all resort workers as sankies, it is the same all around the world. There is good and bad everywhere right?

 

[Malibook]

You can't reffer to all resort workers as sankies,...

Yes he can and he often does.

 

[Van2004]

Yes he can and he often does.

well maybe he doesn't get laid as much as these sankies and feels he has to call every resort worker a low life loser because he wishes he could get laid that much :glasses:

 

[mofi]

Though i understand that this is a "majority" of resort workers, you have to be careful because you have foriegners like myself who worked in hotels, and by no means do i come from a broken family with no education or am i a sankette.....Actually in hind site I had more education then the boss of my department.....but i am not dominican.

 

[azuacanadagirl]

I don't agree with general opinion here

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I don't think that anyone in this world is "LOVEPROOF". Seriously! Everyone needs love, anyone here know "Maslow theory". Learned it in college and university, in many classes.

Humans need first of all security (food, clothing, vital things), once these needs are fulfilled, we go on to the next level... and so on. Love and acceptance comes before accomplishment. I'm not sure of all the terms in english, I have learned it in French. I guess at the base of this Maslow had years ago figured out Sankies. Humans will do anything to fulfill their first need..... SECURITY.

Sankies do provide for their family which I guess could be a quality. Once they have obtained that, they do need to receive and give love. Like they have used people, they have been used.

Why is my sankie, if he is truly one in his soul or is he just a vicitm himself of circumstances he grew up with, why is he still in touch after three months if he hasn't gotten a penny out of me? Please explain someone! He does have an education, he is not amimacion. Many members of his family are in university in Santo Domingo. Why is he wasting his time or money to call or go to the internet center on ME? Yeah, I know "Visa out of the country". Now, why would he want to do that when he doesn't speak a word of english or french?

 

[project9]

Azuacanadagirl you don't need to justify yourself so much, you want to be with your sankie? you don't need approval from this board. Dream on, you'll change your sankie and will make him fall in love with you, yeah right! like if you're the first who's attempted that ... just be sure to send him more money than all the other girls and with more frequency. He'll stop being a sankie just to be with you because all the sweet bs he's fed you (and you have blindly believed) is in fact true, you're the only one for him (LOL) and his past hard life, which you say is the reason for him being a sankie, is forgotten as soon as he sees the words "Western Union".

Get over yourself.

 

[project9]

Why is he wasting his time or money to call or go to the internet center on ME?

Just read your posts and you'll see the answer. If i were a sankie i'd see a $ sign in your forehead.

 

[AnnaC]

Dear Azua,
I have some tip money today so I'm at the internet cafe. I have paid the $$$___ fee for an hour's use so I'm here posting this and sending out many other emails. But don't worry my two friends are sharing the cost of this hour. I think I have enough money to make about 5 quick calls. I'm hoping the investment of this money will pay out soon or I'll have to find five more investors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do you need to be telling us that he's still calling? If you think he is different then go for it. You are wiser now and know what to watch for.

Good luck

 

[Robert]

Yeah, I know "Visa out of the country". Now, why would he want to do that when he doesn't speak a word of english or french?

That has never never been a reason not to seek a visa.
Maybe they are now giving crash language courses on the Yola crossings these days.

 

[azuacanadagirl]

I knew I was going to provoke a few

I wasn't implying that I was going to change anyone. I was just replying to a thread posted called "Is it just business as usual?".

Eveyone is entitled to their opinion as I said. But I may be a dreamer, I don't think that anyone is "LOVEPROOF". I don't believe sankies don't have ANY FEELINGS even though I know they are very good actors. I've seen it with my own two eyes the first five minutes we had met.

I've also seen the love that was shared ...not with me... I could never be convinced of that, but with his family. I saw more love there than I have ever seen here between family members. So it is hard for me to believe that he is such a bad person. He is like everyone there I guess and I would bet my last dollar that he is romancing another right now. We weren't discussing faithfulness but love. But then again, I do not believe there are many faithful men back home.

This girl was asking on a public forum for general opinion. I DO believe that people like Anna even said about a sankie who fell hard for a girl from Holland, that some of them do fall in love.

I am not so full of MYSELF! I don't know how you would see a dollar sign when you look at me cause I haven't given any money. I have even told him the story about how people say they call after a while with their sick grandmother story.

So my answer to DRShine, is chances are against it, and if you send money you will never know if he's in for the money or you. If you don't send money and he's still hanging around, I guess there's a reason.

 

[azuacanadagirl]

I was saying the same thing as this gold member???

Of course that some DO fall for their victims. Some have even change and end up leaving the "life". Some even change jobs in order to make their partner more comfortable. Some quit being sankies forever and some would quit and then they would get sick of the "sankified victim" and they end up going back to being sankies. Some can be reformed and some can't, or won't.

Trust me, there are many "reformed" sankies in Canada, the US and all over the world.

Sometimes you'll get in a relationship in Canada, US and the guy will get bored once the initial challenge is gone and get back to his gigolo lifestyle. See it ain't all that different and there is NO LIFETIME WARRANTY anywhere in the world. Geeh! it could be the girl falling out of love and dumping the sanky.

 

[azuacanadagirl]

Very funny

But don't worry my two friends are sharing the cost of this hour. I think I have enough money to make about 5 quick calls. I'm hoping the investment of this money will pay out soon or I'll have to find five more investors.

Actually this is very funny!!! and probably true!!! I hope he gets lucky some day and I do feel sorry for the poor guys who have to do this.

 

[project9]

Sure Azua, you're the dreamgirl he was waiting for all his life, he was a sankie just until his true love (you) came into his life. And even if he's still a sankie you're the one he loves (yeah sure) and that seems to be more than enough for you.

Are you a man? or a woman?
