Santo Domingo On $100 A Day ?

[greydread]

He is not a rookie traveller and it sounds like he expects and is prepared to pay for chicas.
I would assume this is based on his experiences.

You make it sound like being gringo is the only required attribute for swift success with the chicas.

Let`s say he does eventually establish some sort or network there, where should he go in the mean time for some sure thing hot chicas that won`t break the bank?

Everyone pays. You can pay with money or you can pay with time or you can pay with charisma but most pay with combinations of the three. "Being a Gringo" has absolutely nothing to do with "swift success with the Chicas". If the Chicas are attracted to you in your home town they will be attracted to you anywhere in the World. As I mentioned, our OP doesn't really need to worry about "swift success" as he will be there for a Month. In Santo Domingo a Chica who sees a Gringo around UASD or Acropolis Mall on Tuesday and doesn't give him any rhythm may have an entirely different attitude when she sees him there again next Tuesday.

Not unlike the rest of the country people are very friendly for the most part in Santo Domingo and the most seemingly innocuous conversation with a server, store clerk or passerby can instantly establish invitations to enjoy what the town has to offer. Most of the young people there are proud of their city and their country and its culture and are very open to showing newcomers around. The 1st time my Son accompanied me on a trip to Santo Domingo (he was 27) he went down to Megacentro and spent an afternoon checking the place out. He came out of there after a few hours with four phone numbers and a date for the evening during which he discovered Ave. Venezuela and a whole lot of night life. He took Spanish in HS and college but he refuses to even try to speak the language. It seems that attitude is a language all its own. On his next trip I saw him twice in a week. He had Chicas picking him up in SUV's and dropping him off two days later. To rest, wash, rinse, repeat.

Santo Domingo is nothing like the beach ho towns of Dominican infamy. It's a city about the size of Philadelphia and there's definitely something there for everyone. When I stated that I eat and drink 'local' I was referring to small restaraunts serving Dominican cuisine as well as places like La Basa, 5 Star Sport Bar and Eagle Sport Bar where eating is secondary to hanging out and watching the game, fight or whatever on the big screen, enjoying the live music some nights (Eagle) and being a part of the celebration of life that is a typical Dominican pastime. Liga Dominicana is a whole different spin on professional baseball and must be seen to be understood. I highly recommend taking in a game or two at the stadium. It's reminiscent of the old 'Morgan State-Grambling annual football classic' games at Yankee stadium back in the day, in other words the sporting contest itself wasn't the only attraction during the games.

I don't have any problem with 'paying for Chicas'. Ask anybody. The point I'm making is that if I was 30 years younger and had more time than money or if I was there for say 30 days at a stretch I would be far more likely not to. If I lived there I probably wouldn't even consider it very often if at all. World class Chica Hunters have turned into dedicated domestic partners and Dads after moving there. Some are my friends from back in the World. Our OP will have plenty of time to get into what I refer as the "rhythm of the island".

BTW there is no such thing as a 'sure thing'. I know guys who have spent $200US and up for the worst 'dating' experience of their lives but these were guys who wouldn't recognize a good time if it crawled up their pant leg and bit them on the scrotum. Other guys get with the same Chicas and get their plumbing completely retrofitted for the cost of a modest dinner, drinks and a good conversation.

Chris will be fine with this budget since he's not a big drinker. Santo Domingo is definitely expensive these days, especially for someone who drinks socially like me and can't handle much of the local rum anymore. There have been days when I've blown 400+ in a night, but that's definitely not an every day occurrence. If he likes the local food then eating will also be very inexpensive. He could go to Adrian Tropical for some local fare for instance or just any of the local restaurants where you can eat good for about 15 USD. On the other hand if he hangs out a lot at The Blue Mall, eats at Te PorterHouse, etc then this would just be sufficient for food alone and that's it.

I can`t imagine how you can`t see that "sure thing" in this context is referring hookers/putas/p4p.


I like to eat good food and find women for $50 and under for ST.

When I go on these trips I go with the intention to purchase a romp. I am not crazy about paying for companionship or having to pay double for daily expenses unless the situation calls for it.
If by chance I meet a local girl and we hit it off then it's a wonderful thing. If not it's nice to know I have the budget and services readily available to me. That is what I base a trip on.....a sure thing!

 

[Bronxboy]

Hmmmmm for $50 and under, where? where? where? lol

Those mongering days are over but when I did indulged, I did not look for a bargain. They had to be worth my time and effort. Money was not important. I would rather have gone to a legit, safe place as oppose to the streets. yuck!!!!!!

Exactly.
Based on Chris`posts, $100 per day is not much at all.

I suspect that he is looking for some action within hours, not maybe next week or even days later.

A lot of guys go there because they do not score chicas at home or they have no interest in the ones they can score.
A lot of guys have no interest in the whining and dining crap shoot, especially when on vacation.
Plus the reality is that your son`s experiences are not a realistic expectation for the average gringo tourist who is used to p4p.

 

[Bronxboy]

Yep. i think that is the reality of 90% of all mongers. If it wasn't, why pay?

I get lucky frequently but many don't. They prefer waiting a month or two and then go to a sex tourism country. They clean their pipes and go back home. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I prefer the challenge of the conquer. It stills cost me time and money to score. I bet if prostitution was legal in the States (besides Nevada) the johns would not pay an airfare for sex. They would stay at home!!!!!

Even though there are escorts services, they are not the same and the costs are outrageous!!!!

I can't imagine why you don't understand the concept of "There is no such thing as a sure thing". It's the Dominican Republic. Deals change after the point of sale all the time. There's better forums for P4P info and I don't want to jack the OP's premise but trust me...one Man's "romp" can be the next Man's headache.

If you're basing trips on "sure thing romps" you'd be better off in the Netherland Antilles with the gov't inspected cathouses and Dominican and Colombian fake waitresses and just like at Subway a 6" sandwich is $45 and a 12" is $80.

What I'm trying to describe here (without resorting to all 1 syllable words) is that in Santo Domingo you can get whatever you want for any reasonable budget but if you are the type who requires "point & click" you will require a bigger wallet. Daam. Attempt to speak the language, understand the flow of currency and most of all be interactive with everyday people (which the OP has plenty of time to do) and it will be a great time. A guy who wants to go from the airport to a steakhouse, order the surf n' turf, go get laid and go back to the airport and fly away will need a helluvalot more than $100 and he isn't guarranteed jack for all that money. You might end up with "Resusci-Annie" and it cost you $200.

Like I said before, the Dominican Capital is the size of Philly and like any big city the lazy and the stupid get played there. Anybody who doesn't understand this should stick with the beach ho towns until they get their big city credentials.

Are you trying to be thick?

Obviously he meant that there is a reasonable expectation that p4p involves some services rendered.

Of course a high quality session with a very happy ending is not an absolute certainty.
Thanks for pointing that out. :tired:

Again several excellent theories and comments.

Pro Hardcore Monger here and I have no shame admitting it. Wonderful memories that last for a lifetime. I've done all shapes and sizes light and dark skinnned. Nobody will be twisting my penis into a knot anytime soon. If it walks has boobs and a vagina I've tried it...payed up front instead of running a tab. That's my history....again no shame. It is what it is.

It seems like the answer to my question about SD on $100 a day is " It really depends on you". If you have some game and are willing to work for it chances are "something" will happen for you...maybe not. If you are too lazy to even consider courting a lady and you want to be pampered like a baby then it will cost you. If you don't want to work or pay the price for it then go to sosua with the rest of the hairy back balding gut wrenching herd. SD is for people with a little more money to spend and/or different concepts of what a good time is. If you do decide to go be prepared to spend at least $15 in a local restaurant for something you may find in washington heights for $10. The culture is lively and so are the people...your level of energy interests tastes finances desires wants needs dictates the time you will have.

Like NY mayor ED KOCH once asked "How am I doing?"

 

[mountainannie]

I think that there are other forums that are better suited to your needs than DR1.

IMHO, you have crossed the line.

So it is your big city credential way or the wrong way.

Has it ever occured to you that some people don`t mind spending more on a hotel, restaurant, night club, and/or chica and it has nothing to do with being stupid and getting played?

Maybe "Dominican Women- Living Beyond The Sugar Daddy" is a more productive thread ?

Is this about right ?

 

[beastwood]

I got slammed for this response before...but "chat it up" before you fly. Dating sites (as opposed to sex tourism or mailorder bride-party-with-girls in the DR type sites), work well. As with all dating sites with dominicancupid you have to weed through the chaff and the blatant sugar babies, but i have chatted with and then spent a few days with some really fun girls upon landing at Las Americas. The ones that ask you for gifts of blackberries and Ipods and dig cameras on your second chat, you can dismiss...but there are ( and i have some as my friends now), many nice yet fun girls out there from all walks. I prefer the university women...but that is just me.

This is easier said than done as these chicas are not hanging around the arrivals area of the airport just hoping to land a gringo and not everybody has a network established in town.

Why don`t you tell Chris where to find some nice sure thing chicas for a reasonable price as I have heard SD can be very expensive and such chicas can cost his whole day`s budget or more?
