New, but not THAT new

[Zon]

I have visited the Caribbean a lot over the past two years.  I have been active on the sister site to this one that focuses on Russian ladies (we all have those things that turn us on).  I love the culture and sophistication that so many of the girls from the FSU show.  I have not found that in most of the ladies I have met in the Caribbean - yet in their simplicity I have fond beauty.  And best of all - they are not American.

I have visited the Dominican Republic on business 5 times this year.  Last week I went to Santiago.  The women were incredibly beautiful and graceful.  I have begun to wonder if I should more seriously consider ladies from the Carribean and South America. That is why I have registered here. I learned TONS at Russian Women Discussion. I met many good friends.  I hope to do the same here! 

Nice to meet you all.

Hello and welcome!

I don't know anything about eastern european women but I can vouch for the beauty and qualities of those in Colombia. If you are into the latin look, I am sure you can find a woman with the personality you are looking for. There are many well travelled and informed posters here who will be glad to help and answer any questions.

Hi.

Welcome to the web site.

I was in St. Petersburg for a week in '05 to meet one Russian woman (she was a personal referral from a childhood friend who now lives inthe US and is married to an American guy.  I had a wonderful time, but I think if i had not been with a native speaking woman, I would have gotten my throat cut and rolled in an alley.  And this was S.  Petersburg, the most cosmopolitan city In Russia.

But no doubt about it, there are some spectacularly beautiful Russian women, well educated, the girl I visited spoke 5 languages and English was her fifth!

I've made the switch to Colombian women, I was in Bogota for three weeks.  In addition to Eric and Caro who are starting and offer friendly accomodating service, there are several agencies in Bogota that are reputable and offer very good to terrific service: Latin Life Mates (LLM), Latin American Introductions (LAI), Odee and also Introductions by Consuelo, a smaller agency with a database of about 300 ladies.

Obvioulsy, there are agencies in Cali, Baranquilla, Manizales and Medellin all with advantages and disadvantages. 

Spend a lot of time making a plan, deciidng what is it you want to accomplish, what kind of women do you want to meet, if you ask yourself the questions and do the self planning, you will start to eliminate possiiblities and focus on what is realistic for you, your personality, goals and budget. 

Welcome to the board and keep posting, you will learn a lot.

Hello Fellas:

I have been in the DR for 4 weeks on work.  My Spanish is getting better, but it does take time.

I thank you for your introductions for sure.

I have a couple of thoughts I offer for feedback and guidance.

First off, I can be a contributor of expereince for the DR.

I spent most of my time in Punta Cana. I traveled the entire island twice.  Santiago is in the mountains, a population of 2 million.  If you are looking for beautiful ladies ... you can not stop grinning for hours once you arrive in this city.  I am fortunate to be "Not Ugly"  and I look 5 to 10 years younger than I am - however, I am not a model for sure!

 I do OK with ladies.  BUT beautiful ladies heads do not snap back for me in the US. 

It was different here:)  It felt cool to be treated like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. 

The DR is a rich island with poor people. It is beautiful and has areas that look like Costa Rica, Africa, California - it has great diversity.

I never felt in danger.  But I never took the same road twice, so I had the element of surprise ... and I never stopped long when in a venerable environment - kept moving until the next destination.

As a first thought I find the ladies I have met in the Dominican Republic to be kind and simple.  Some are beautiful for sure.  But I am looking for more than that.  I am a very open minded guy. I am not a stuffed shirt.  I can get wild as the best, but mostly I am mild.  I am tranquil.  I do appreciate intelligence and moral character (a person with something to say and believe and fight with on occasion)  and more than a simple beautiful woman at my side.

There is also a completely different morality / culture with sex in the DR.  It is due to many factors.  The term "good girl  and "bad girls" is very blurred in the DR.  And I am NOT value judging at all. I am simply saying that a "good girl"  could have been / or is  working at the discos in the evening; and the "bad girls" are in college getting higher degrees.  In the DR, this cultural characteristic is VERY pronounced, and that is the reason I mention it.

I have not yet found a CONNECTION that I have found rather easily with Eastern European ladies.  So, I am wondering if the rest of Central and South America is similar to the Dominican Republic; or is it dissimilar?

I was planing on a three week trip to Eastern Europe, but since I have become so invested in the Latin Culture ... I am wondering what Columbia, Panama, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil offer?  (Should I be scarred AS HELL to travel to Columbia?)

Looking forward to your excellent response,

PS.  If anyone has specific advice for an exploration trip feel free to PM me.

PSS.  Oh yea!  About the Marriage thing ... I am a little unusual.  I have recently gotten a divorce after a faithful 15 year relationship.  I am bored to the point of tears with the American women I have dated.  I am open to a serious relationship and marriage, BUT it would take a REMARKABLE woman and a UNIQUE connection for me to move in that direction in the short run.  I treat ladies with respect and not as objects.  I am more than a gentleman.  I do not want anyone to get the wrong impression.

Thanks rivardco for the post, you sound like an intelligent and experienced guy....A few observations from a semi-literate SA traveler. 

There is also a completely different morality / culture with sex in the DR.  It is due to many factors.  The term "good girl  and "bad girls" is very blurred in the DR.  And I am NOT value judging at all.

This does not sound good.  There should clear cultural and moral lines defining your dating prospects, IMO.  I would say Colombia and Costa Rica offer much clearer (and better alternatives).  You are looking (hopefully) for a relationship that will last the rest of your life.  I want clear boundaries of what is acceptable and not acceptable behavior and thinking in the woman I choose.  I don't know your goals/criteria, but those are mine. 

There is also a completely different morality / culture with sex in the DR.  It is due to many factors.  The term "good girl  and "bad girls" is very blurred in the DR.  And I am NOT value judging at all.

ummmm...I would encourage you TO "value judge".   In some situations your life may depend on it  (Colombia).  You are seeking a woman with different morals and values (probably) than the AW you know.  It is ok to judge a person by their values in this forum...as far as I know that has not been outlawed by some liberal judge somewhere.

You sound like a thoughtful guy...and you know some espanol...I would definitely check out Bogota, Colombia and San Jose, CR.  There are two agencies down in Bogota that seem to have a good reputation...I would sign up for a one week "tour" for about $700 and check out the town and women...Colombia is much safer than in the past but use your head & read the cautions on traveling in this Forum...their economy is booming (so is their currency so travel is expensive against our currency). 

I would check out Colombia, then Costa Rica then Panama or Ecuador or Peru.  Costa Rica is very USA friendly, it almost feels like home sometimes (except when driving at night...there are NO street signs, same in Cali and Bogota). 

Do you want kids?  Will you take her kids as your own?  Will you live overseas part time or in the USA fulltime?  What age range are you comfortable with?  All those are important questions when meeting women online or in person.  If you don't have a clear idea of what you want, then just take  a tour for a week to get your feet wet.

I'd stay in SA and Central America over eastern Europe any day...the kind hearted gentle latina trumps tall, leggy beauties in Europe in my book.

That's my 2 cents.

A couple websites I would subscribe to after your tour would be:
www.latinamericancupid.com
or www.colombiancupid.com   

it's a good idea to stay online during the evening hours..many of the very good looking women do not post photos in their profile...they choose you....they will send you an IM...then just ask for a photo after chatting for a few minutes, they'll send it...

Thanks for tips DT!  I appreciate your input and tips.  Columbia / Central America seems to be a much "bridgeable" than Eastern Europe. I have had a thing for Russian women over the last year.  They have a strong stubborn side which never turns off.

I need to clarify something:  I have recently started a tour operating and seminar business that takes me to the DR for several weeks 4 or 5 times a year.  I am not going there looking for a wife / sex (although being single ...)

Regarding the DR and prostitution ... I almost wonder if every woman on that island would spend a night with a man if properly asked for the proper compensation.  It is not black and white.  I am reading some history about the island as it relates to females and their role that aruges this is more than superficial behavior.  It is almost bread into the being and culture (I just started the book, so I have not drawn a conclusion ... we will see)

I presume this differs from Costa Rica; Panama; and Columbia?

Yeah...big time...you can find very family oriented Colombians...or you can find the superficial, materialistic Colombians. 

CR is a little different -- prosititution is legal there, avoid the downtown hotels less than $100 per night and you will avoid the seedy side of CR for the most part.  Most CR women aren't nearly as good looking as the copper toned Colombians (speaking generally, not a slam on CR women however.).  CR does have it's share of knockouts, but you will have to look a little harder.  The woman in my avatar is a copper toned Colombian in CR.

You will find very nice, classy, polite women in CR that do not act cheap or immoral....she can be poor or middle class but she has her dignity and morals like almost all the Colombians I have met.  The teenagers in CR seem to be steeped in materialism and trying to act as superficial as American teens. 


NUMBER ONE RULE WITH LATINAS:  Never Never Lie to a Latina.  If she catches you, the relationship is finished.  There is no repair manual for this situation.  One of the first things a latina will tell you once she is interested in you is, "do not lie to me".  She is laying down the marker that you should never cross. 

That's one of the things I really like about Colombians and Costa Ricans...the women I have met really have high standards...those are the only ones I choose to hang with.

Hi and welcome

Sorry if I am off topic - but my wife "JLO" and I love Punta Cana! We would like to go back in a couple of weeks if we can catch a deal.

The women in D.R are a little dark for me ( I guess thats not politicaly correct)

TE AMO PERU!
