Off resort sankies...I got out in time..list of red flags to watch for

cbello · #1 11-06-2006, 03:54 PM

I am starting this thread to warn women about off resort sankies. With normal evolution present in all aspects of societies, I regret to announce that the honorable job of sankie is no longer reserved to resort workers. This breed of off resort sankie is similar to it’s cousin the resort sankie but more difficult to spot at first. This bread has elected to hide amongst real people to get a fresh crop of undoubting tourists, ready for the picking.

This next part is about rude awakening. Mine but even more the sankie that I married and ALMOST imported into Canada. Thanks God for process oriented slow civil servants, guess they do serve a useful purpose after all; they are like the pest control of the nation. They do not have a 100% success rate but in my case they were good enough. I was also to have one of the new kinds of off resort sankie, the lazy kind. This is probably the first sankie that was so lazy that he became victim of himself.

I want to warn all women that are now reading this, especially the ones thinking poor girl, she really got taken in but I am different, I have been warned and my man is so much not like that. Be careful, not all sankies are the same. Although they share one goal in life, get the most out of an unsuspecting person for the least amount of work. Some will actually work hard at it as they know it is just for a short time. After that their favorite snack will have ripen enough for the picking, and I do compare myself as a fruit, I have never been fed so much manure, been groomed for eating and plucked as I have with this man. These sankies love to immigrate to a new country where they will be taken care of by their sponsor. The sponsor being responsible for that person for 3 years. 3 years can mean A LOT of expenses being racked up by and for that “So Loving Man”.

As I said I was taken, much taken, we got married but unfortunately hi sankie instincts were so strong and he was so good as a sankie that he fell prey to himself. He was so sure of himself, was so sure that he was saying all the right things, doing the right things, knew enough of everything and was dumb enough in other areas that he was a sure fit for immigration. The more he got convinced the lazier he became, to the point, thank God again, that he became openly jealous, was so apparent at “not asking for money” to get some, not doing anything for me. I spent 6 months with him over in the DR and as time went on he did less and less, to the point of being arrogant and not even hiding his sankie pre-dispositions. In one day he found out that I did not love him anymore. That he was not getting anymore money. That he was not immigrating to Canada and that his chances of immigrating here are now and for at least 40 years nil, zero, caput, fini. Non existent.

So PLEASE, be careful, if you see a man that is just too good to be true and so caring and loving in DR that it is almost not possible, tell yourself that is it not true and possible , he isn’t true and just a well trained sankie. They make their life career at pleasing unsuspecting women so that they can live off them for as long as they can. One thing usually gives them away. As with any other trade, they have to invest in the tool of their trade, themselves. They will usually be well dressed, well groomed and don’t even own enough money to cover their ass if they had to. Try this little test, ask your wonderful man to show you what he owns, if, a part from what he has on his back, if he can keep it long enough, if it fits in a shoe box, he’s a sankie and you are most likely being taken for the ride of your life. I say that because being part of the crowd that has been sankified, I see it happening to others and sucking the life out of you is exactly what is going to happen.

So for all you women in love over your head with a Dominican, please take time to wakeup and smell that that bitter-sweet smell, by the way, wake up its not roses, it’s **** and you are deep in it. By the way I have passed the bitterness and hurt part and I can read this and laugh at myself. I have now views or aspirations of getting your sankie away from you, I am just trying to spare you a lot of hurt and a lot of expense.

So can we assume that by you living there for 6 months, it made all this clear?

That's the advice that is always posted here, live together there for awhile in the DR, then you can get a taste of what life is going to be like.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks for posting I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.

Where did you meet him (not the university I hope) and how long did you take to decide to move in with him? Do you think you would have filtered him out if you would have taken the time to get to know him? If not, how did you get into this mess and when did the nickle drop? What would you have done differently? Did you ignore any signs along the way?

Best of luck to you and thank goodness you were able to get yourself out of this mess.

It never has been.

It's just that 90 % of the single women who frequent these 'gated communities' are well aware of the services rendered there, thus booking in anticipation.

Others who believe that 'on the economy' it's all that different are the blue-eyed ones that take a bit longer to grasp things...

Sankie is NOT a job description, it is a way of being! It is not limited to colour, income level, education etc....... You can be SANKIED in the hotel, outside the hotel, at the beach, at the pool, in town, in the clubs, at a lawyers office, by management, by taxi drivers, by bartenders, by clerks at Verizon or the colmado........... It is open ended folks. Do not get fooled into thinking it is one job or another! They are everywhere..........

Sankies = scam artists/con man and can be found anywhere.

when will the sankie threads end ? so many sankie threads is beginning to dampen my respectability of some foreign women who come to the DR. if you come 1500 miles or more to get scam'd, what are you doing back in your own home country ? you must be Queen P**A....

First of all, Kyle, what do you expect? You are in the Sankie Forum so guess what..........they will never end. Don't like it - go to another forum. Pretty simple, I think!

Thank you for sharing your story, cbella. I think it was important to state that all sankies are just not at the resorts. That is why I think, a lot of woman think that their "love" is not a sankie, because he is a police officer, a taxi driver, a student etc. It doesn't matter what profession the person is in, the common goal is to have an easier life provided by a person not Dominican. End of story.
