Can YOU "Land" A Good Dominican?

[Audra]

Does this thread only apply to Dominicans in the DR, or can they be in our countries, or does it make a difference?

Just thought that Dominicans who have made it out of the DR, may have made a better and more successful life.




PS, how appropriate, Miguel is the 1000 post on his own thread.
auguri!

And Miguel wins the prize.

Details will be sent to you by regular mail to an undisclosed address in the North Coast of the DR.

I was going to delete the idiot post above you but then I would have to deal with him again so I will now go have some fun with it.

The point of this exercise was to get away from all the usual places that tourist seem to find their beloved one in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

If they got out and have become successful in other parts of the world that's great, good luck to them but it wasn't the topic in this thread

Just the same type

2 more posts untill 1000! I am just trying to help out.

Well I think you're quite right about meeting men on vacation, but I have found good men in strange places.

1 - listening to jazz -- lasted 3 years
1 - in a film festival lineup -- 3 years
1 - At a political event. Visa student, with no money, no status, no English, different religion, different macho culture -- lasted 16 years

Yes all of them ended in disappointment but they were good men and worth the effort. Every experience and relationship shapes you and changes you. And sometimes you have to take big risks in life.

What would I look for in a Good Dominican?
Someone who is honest,
someone who wants to keep learning,
someone who is motivated to make things better,
someone who doesn't quit easily,
someone who cares about family, community, friends,
and can't imagine life without me.

Can you find that on a vacation? I'd like to say NO, but you never know who you're going meet anywhere. And maybe you just take a chance and you'll find out you were wrong, but maybe you go down a road that will lead you to some other door.

Shad, did you know that you, diplomatically(or not), called me an idiot?. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but just give me some credit, I AM the "IDIOT KING", the "Village Idiot", if you will. You are just the mere Vice-President, hahahahahahaha!.

Margaret, IN MY OPINION, they key to finding the right person is just taking the time to get to know that person. As simple as that.

When you start a new relationship, one have to go in thinking with their head. When you think with your head, you WILL notice ALL the "red flags" thrown your way. Then you decide if you want to be with that person or not.

If you noticed all the "red flags" and still want to be with that person, you have no one but yourself to blame when things go "kaputs".

Now, when someone goes into a relationship thinking with their hearts, from the beginning, all the "red flags" WILL go over their heads, will NOT be noticed.

And that's exactly what happens with MOST people visiting the DR. They see someone they like and all of a sudden they want to be with that person without knowing crap about said person.

Since there's no time to get to know that person, "LUST" takes over. After that, MOST start thinking with their hearts and boom, they are done. After that, "lust" will be mistaken for "love".

After that, Western Union gets richer, hahahahahaha.

The qualities YOU look in a good Dominican are great. But in order for you to find someone with those qualities, you need to invest time getting to know the person. 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 weeks a year will NOT do the "job". NOT in a long shot!.

Can you settle for a short, fat, ugly and poor "Dominican"?, hahahahahahaha!.

A short, fat, ugly and poor "Dominican" IF he meets my criteria would be taken already by someone who appreciates him. Some women believe in frogs transforming into princes, some believe in beauty and the beast!

Regarding the Internet, I think more and more people are networking online around many different interests and dating is only one of them. In fact, AZB mentioned the beautiful women on Santiago in the profiles of Hi5, I know another Dominican who says he has met some nice people (men and women) through that "network." I said "ohhhh online dating?!! That's creepy!" and he said it works as a network in DR. So according to him, it's possible to meet Good Dominicans through that network.

I know one well-educated guy who dates through LavaLife and a female dentist, very pretty dating someone in Seattle. I know one Canadian guy who is living in Paris now for 1-1/2 year with a woman he met through the Internet. People laugh about it (and it sounds scary to me) but I think it will only grow as the old means of meeting people are disintegrating.

I think Internet Dating is not what some of the sites here are all about. It is more about Internet Pimping......LOL

Miguel, why are you offering yourself to Margaret - I saw you first!!!!
