Hello,
As a young dominican woman I would like to share my "experiences" with sankies. I dont know if any other dominicana has exposed her point of view already and Im being repetitive. If it has been like this I apologize.
Im a typical dominican girl from the middle-upper class of the capital, is very normal for me to go to resorts wether is in summer or for christmas, this is whenever my family cant afford to go abroad. Im not a big fan of the hotel scene specially because I dont like how fake and sold are those dominicans who work there.
Anyway it was summer of 2006 me and a Mexican friend went to Puerto Plata, in summer for 5 days, I see the usual sankies (who mostly are the show boys) trying to call the attention of the british women, then at the disco I see them giving striptease just to impress them. I obviously wasnt impressed and neither were them. One of the sankies M saw it didnt work for him to show his butt to this women he went to talk to me and my friend thinking we were foreigners aswell (he approached us in english).
Me and my friend are very nice people who doesnt mind having a conversation with this type of person. And eveytime we found him we would say Hi and talk a little, one day he was driving around the disco with a nice car, and he told us he has this girlfriend in the UK who send him money and he saved enough to buy it, and he was bragging about how cool he is, and how many other women send him money too, but that this one from UK is the one whos gonna take him there so she is his visa and is the one he loves. To what we said ehhh ok good for you. Next day he changed his attitude and became like a stalker! then in certain occation he approached me and offered me to have sex with him in a very desperate manner. I took it as a joke and said very sacastic"dont you see Im dominican you silly! you're not supposed to be a whore with me!" Bu the didnt find it funny and continued bothering me, thanks God that was my last day there.
In 2007 I was in Sosua with my family and some guy approached my mother, saying to her "why such a beautiful woman is alone?" while me and the rest were swiming in the pool. She said to him "The fact you dont respect yourself doesnt mean I dont respect myself young man!"
Fast forward to 2008 Aug, my boyfriend and I took a trip to Bavaro, we went in bus and it left us on the outside the hotel. So we walked about 1 km to get to the reception, anyway while we are walking tired after 4 1/2 hours in a bus, we see this 3 women (1 with a baby) that come to us and hand me some promotion flyers saying is for "massages". I could clearly see this women were prostitutes, but just to make it clearer one said to me "Ask him if he wants massage too" I just said "..aham.." and we kept walking very repulsed.
A few days later I went to have a drink at the bar and my boyfriend went to the washroom, the bartender guy began talking to me in a flirty matter, then I told him right away I have a boyfriend .. when my boyfriend came back the bartender became very hostile with him and tried to bully him, making comments.
This experiences lead me to think that this people are the worse! And should be avoided at ALL costs.
