Couples moving to the DR.

[Criss Colon]

He thinks that the "Physical Apperance" of a man is the most important thing to a woman.Not So!At least after a woman is out of her teens!
To most men,physical appearance is the "key"!Women are not that shallow! Doesn't mean that they don't like handsome men,just that they realize there are more important things!
One of the least attractive men I ever met had sexual relations with more women than you would ever believe."Normal" women,with husbands,and families! He made women feel that they were pretty,interesting,wanted,protected,and boy could he dance! (Women will dance with any man who loves to dance!!)Women like men who will listen to what they have to say!Most men treat women as children in that respect."They should be seen,and not heard!Women like men who have a steady job,and never get drunk!!Forget about "Drugs",and non-smoking isprefered!They LOVE men who bath a lot,and never stink!Brushing your teeth is a real "PLUS"!
Men buy an expensive car,then drive all over town to show it off! Whats the deal,anyone can buy the SAME CAR!We walk around with a flashy Hooker on our arms Our buddies ,who know that she is a hooker,are jealous of the guy with the hooker anyway!!
I was never a great looking guy,and I have always "struggled" with my weight,but I always had lovely women with me.The prettiest girl in grade school,highschool,and college(for the short time they allowed me to stay)The prettiest nurse in the hospital.Not for looks or money,but because my Grandmother,Mother,and my 2 sisters instilled in me the way to make a woman feel good about herself!
Thank God I got that out of my system! I am retired from that now.Like an old duck hunter who can't make it into the marsh any longer,and buys his "Duck Dinner" in a restaurant,I don't have the time or energy for the chase any longer.So I get "Take Out"! It is actually cheaper than dinner and a movie,and a whole lot less time consuming!!!

Colon,

I'm happy you feel that way but my opinion stands.

Maybe it is good for a guy that wouldn't normally get a gorgious woman in their country and go to a deprived country and feel like they are "The Man".

eye contact and physical analysis is the first thing before you begin to talk and get to know each other.

Guys naturally do things to gain that attention..ie buy things that may symbolize wealth, or shows that he is holding a good job. Thats just natural. So don't bash the guys buying nice cars and wearing the fancy clothes.....thats the game they have to play.

They did a study, and the majority of the men who posted personal ads always had to describe there financial and educational accomplishments. They also tend to exagerate their hight and weight since woman tend to like men over 6 ft.

woman on the other hand would describe their physical attributes first since men tend to be stimulated visually. Look at the girls you guys chase in DR, they are probably dressed in incredible tight jeans(boodie huggers) and revealing as much breast as they can. In more developed countries woman have more to show forth economically so as a man, you better bring more to the table because they want the best........That means looks too!!!

This is the game that is played between the opposite sex.

When economics is limited in a country like DR where jobs are scarce and income levels are low...the dating game for the most part can be all physical baby.

Look if your not physically attractive and all you can show forth is money in your pocket and you couldn't get a girl to notice you in the States....hey I would be like a crazed hound looking for every woman I could get my hands on in a country like DR if I new looks were overlooked. You have to play the cards you have my man.

I'm not bashing you, I'm just recognizing the fact between the two genders in the dating game.

I'm with Keith R, and none of the couples that I know have split up because of the move to the DR.

Well you may find that many of the strong marriages in the DR were due to a well grounded beginning. Their relationship probably didn't start in the bed at some hotel.

If you married a well grounded Dominican, no matter what economic background. You've established a strong foundation, and nothing should break that.

These posts reminded me of some conversations I had with people I met in Central America. Like here, there are women and men who prefer foreign partners. Being from poor countries, the wallet/passport/meal ticket factors are all at the forefront of this choice, but an additional aspect in the case of the women was that Western men were perceived to be less violent towards their wives compared to the locals. I haven't heard that here, but I would guess that it is a factor in the DR too.

I don't beleive that.

Heck, look at the US with over a 50% divorce rate. What would you account for that. That stat wouldn't make any foriegner want to come to the states to marry and American if they knew it was a 50/50 chance they would stay married.

At least those central American countries stay married longer.

I have been waiting too long to comment on this!!!
Commitment!! In every aspect of our relationship.

This is Temptation Island, for both halves. If somebody told me they were bringing there family here, I would have a long private discussion about the fact that, here a person could easily be lead a stray.

People who may have had any type of insecurities back home, will find them driven up the scale 10 fold. You must have confidence in each other, love and commitment, or somebody could find themselves over the edge.

Things Like
Am I still attractive to you?
Do you still love me?
You promise it will never happen again?
If they are, OVER- Jealous or Protective.

If a person had doubts about their spouse back home, here is not where you want to put it to the test.

I have friends who are very envious of our being in the DR.
Truth is, without each other, neither one of us would be here.
And I know for a fact, some our friend marriages would not survive down here.
