Hahahahaha, this is funny yet so true.

I like to see these same girls date a guy who sells newspapers on the streets of NYC, take a cab driver home to her mom, falling in love with a gas pump attendent, dreaming of having babies with the tow truck driver. Hahahaha, I bet you don't give them time of the day back home, so tell me this, what is so charming about these lowlife guys here in puerto plata?

Interesting thread until it went got off track. In response to the OP's questions I would have to agree with Don Juan.

Education is important but not more so than a great personality.

The question was about dating and I know that for some that's equivalent to marriage!! For DATING I would take a chance on someone like that if they made me smile and had their priorities in place. It doesn't really matter if the man has a PhD in Computer Science and no children if they have no personality.

It takes all kinds of people to make this world go around. Even though we tend to associate with people that are most like us, I'm not so much into classes that I can't be seen out with someone with lesser education or children!! I think it depends on the individual no matter what their background is.

Computer skills can be learned as well as a second or third language. I was born and raised here in Canada and I'm proud that i can converse in Spanish, French, some German and some Italian. It opens your world up to so many more friends and possibilities. I'd never say never.

I think I know motoconchos very well, better than you understand them.

You probably do know more motoconchos than me as I don't know any personally which is why I wanted to know why they are considered such bad people. Obviously you have tried to befriend some motos to the point where you can speak on this subject with some authority...so what is that saying about you? You must have been running around with moto men at some point in order to be able to say they are bad. Of course I give you credit for the stuff you say at times but sometimes some things you say leave me scratching my head and wondering which one of the seven circles of hell you came from. I often wonder if you are the same person with the same views when you have conversations with the members of the board in person. Maybe one day when I'm running around Santiago I'll run into you and see if you are the same guy in person.

I don't have to own a mango tree to know about mangos. When you live in this country, you get to see everything. all you have to do is to keep your eyes open. No, I don;t talk to motoconchos or hotel sankies. I would be insulted if one of them took the liberty and confidence of calling me their good friend. I am nice to them but I am not here to call them my friends. there are plenty of respectable dominicans around if you need any real friends. I never went to the hood to look for friends in USa so why would I do the same here?
suitelady79, if you ever have the opportunity to come to santiago, let me know in advance. I would like to meet you too.

Sounds like a plan, AZB!
