For it to be a true test, that factor needs to not be a part of the equation. Cynics would say that the only reason these women put up with these conditions is that it gives them some relief from financial pressure, of which this country is under a tremendous amount currently.
What do you think?

Althought you started a moronic thread about chuckuindy and me, I agree 100%, with what you just wrote. Sometimes a person would "put up" with alot of shi* mainly because of thier financial situation.
One of my best friends, Dennis(the nicest person imaginable) is not that great with the ladies and I tell him all the time the following: " here in the US you could not attract a fly even if you were a pile of shi*, but in the DR, you would be looked as a God, some women would drop on your feet, I mean, blue eyes, blond, skinny, gringo, trust me, with the financial problems that DR has, they would drop on your lap like flies". In my opinion, why else would a gringo have 3 and 4 girlfriends in the DR but not even one that would look his way in the US?. Now, do you think that a rich, well-to do dominican woman would look their way if they did not needed their help financially. I am not saying that all poor people would look at a foreigner and see $$ signs but in my humble opinion, a big % does. It takes us back to the sankies, they want to be with you not because one is an Adonis or a Cleopatra, they want to be with us because of what they can get out of us( I am saying "us" because I do not want to talk about one person in particular).
