What do you realy mean................you think you are better than they are   because of socio-economic reasons [QUOTE=crm]Please
Dominicans are friendly nice people but why would anybody want to be your friend after knowing you for one week? The reality is that they are your friend for socio-economic reasons. If you spend more than a month here you would find that out.

Mamita does not mean prostitute. You should do your research again.

hey guys, just wondering why people say that everyone who works ona resort could not make friends in a week, are these people some kind of outcasts b.c they work on resorts, i mean there has to be people on this forum who work at resorts, when it is probably the biggest employment opp in dominican republic, i mean really how much of the population works at resorts, i mean maybe i am wrong, but don't you think that many of these people on the forum may take offense to someone saying that these people don't want to make friends or that they just work there to take advantage of people etc..., i mean my situaton i have friends there, and have been there a few times in the past year,they phone me and i phone them these people are my friends, i hope to move there soon and my "firends" are helping to find employment and a place to live, my friends are great people, and i don't believe that you can not make friends in one week, if they want to a make a friendship it takes two sides to build one, you and your friend. just my opinion, so i'll wait for the criticism. thanks

Hey Ash, I agree with you. Who says you can't make friends in a week?? There is no magic number in terms of how LONG it takes to make a true friend... sheesh. AND I've spent more than a month in the DR myself and I have found that sure there are people who will take advantage of you if given the chance... BUT to generalize and say that most will be your friend purely for "socioeconomic" gain is totally absurd...

In the DR, you can make a friend in a moment. Dominicans are naturally friendly.

Angel_04 ... I also agree with you,
While on a one week vacation I have met many Dominican people. Yes lots who work in resorts. Some people click with each other the first time they meet, others don't. There is no set limit of how long it takes to make a friend. It depends on the people and the situation.
If you have similar interest and get along, who cares if you have known them one day or 5 years. if there is common ground, you can be great friends from the get go.
People dont become friends with you for socioeconomic reasons, that is one of the biggest generalizations ever. Just becuase someone isnt in the same class as you, doesnt mean that a friendship isnt real.

Definition of " friend "so as to set the record straight
Webster's Dictionary definition--
a) one attached to another by affection or esteem
b)one that is of the same nation, party, or group
c) one that is not hostile
So--can you pick one of the above and relate it to a one week experience???

True.
But then it amazes me, how people who come here for a week talk about the awesome (!), fascinating, wonderful and genuine (!) people they met here.
Most of the visitors do not know much about the customs, the culture, nor do they speak the language and /or are aware of local connotations.
It's true while it only takes a few days to learn the meaning of "mañana", it takes years to find out what an "amigo" is or can be.
