Maybe I've been away too long but the Dominican women that I knew were for the most part ladies and very good people. Some had money, some were poor. One of the most influential people in my life was our maid, Soilita. She was kind and a hard worker. She made one mistake, she said something in public about Trujillo and was poisoned by the Calies and died.

Yes, there are those who will go for the money...I've seen them in every place I've lived. In fact I married one...a blond haired gringa from Pennsylvania. I just finished paying the last of 20 years of installment payments on that one.

Of you are lucky to find one that loves you it's great. Chriss, Go for it. If you can't, question what's wrong with you, not them and make a change. If you can't make the change...go for the one's that will take your $$ for an hour or two of "love".
