Many thanks for your replies. Regarding what you many of you see as my dual standards, let me explain. I was hoping to go somewhere, as a single male, where I can meet local women who are not prostitutes. I have read in this message board over and over again how Dominican women are like manna, the promised land, whatever you will, and this is what I was hoping to encounter in Sosua. By the same token, I don't want to be perceived as a gringo tourist, a stack of dollar bills with two legs, which is why I asked this latest question about Sosua. And clearly I have been answered. I have been to my share of places in the Caribbean, and while I like my women, I don't like being approached by them constantly just for one thing and one thing only. It's tiring. This is what I meant by out of control...using the term in a negative sense.
From reading all your posts, it seems as though Sosua is clearly not the place for me. Maybe a smaller town, such as Cabarete. Thank you by the way for the criticism, which I see as constructive. It has helped me to really take a serious look at what I want from this vacation. Also, thanks for the honesty. It's a reason I like this forum.

and - recalling old post - you can pee on them while they try to rob you. try that on a policeman! :cheeky:mind you prostitution is probably a more honest occupation than being a politician or policeman here lol

Kendo,
Just for giggles, let's assume you're telling the truth about your motivations, and are looking for short time fun with a respectable Dominican woman (or women).
Let's pretend I'm a tourist from outside your country, and go to your town and try and pick up your sister, telling her in broken english I've only got a few weeks, but would like to start up something special and fun before I leave, and my hotel is right around the corner...
Get it? Respectable Dominicanas would react like you hope your sister would. Even if you met one, she wouldn't give you any real play because she has to protect her reputation, and to be seen with a gringo tourist is to presumed to be a prostitute. And those women care more about their reputation, than helping you live out some fantasy vacation of meeting a "real girl."
Look man, anyone coming in as a short-term tourist is going to be treated accordingly. They're going to assume you're just another gringo with money on a mami mission. And they'd be correct.
Many Dominicans are poor and not formally educated. That does not, however, make them idiots. Neither are many of the folk on this board.
My advice is stop trying to delude yourself, accept your kind of trip for what it is, and just enjoy your limited time in single guy paradise.

Minovia wants her allowance in Pound Sterling all of a sudden, she is either cheating on me with Ferniebee or Malibook or is reading DR1.
Should I break up with her or buy her a laptop?

Neither. She's trying to do a deal with scrubmuncher's sister.
