... in response to Re: Ladies looking for men, posted by Patrick on Nov 9, 2003I frequent a board on living and traveling to the DR. Many women that travel to resorts there, fall head over heels for the smooth operating male resort workers. they are given the nicknames "sankies".
Many times it is brought up that if a woman posts about meeting and falling in love with dominican guy, she si jumped all over and told that the guy will just use her. OTOH, there are many men on the board with Dominican women as novias and esposas. The board members question the double standards.
I know the answer. Both the dominican men and dominican ladies might want to better themselves or meet a foreigner as a means to get to the US. I am sure that can be a reason for many latinas from many countries. There is one MAJOR difference though.
The other reason, and to most of the women I have met, is because EVERY dominican woman I know will complain about how the Dominican men are. Many have sworn off ever being involved with a Dominican guy! For that reason they are veryinterested in meeting foreign men that they perceive to be more faithful and better husbands.
OTOH, I have NEVER heard similar complaints from Dominican man about Dominican women. Quite opposite. They will be sleeping with as many, and going out with as many as they possibly can.
Also many Dominican women prefer dating older men. My novia is 26 and I'm 40. Her 2 previous novios were 39 and 38, so she has always been more attracted to older men as they seem more stable and less likely to be machisto or cheat on them. Dominican guys on the other hand never look for women much older than them. I have never seen a dominican guy with a wife that was 10-15 years older etc.
So if a Dominican woman is interested in an older, foreign man she can give some valid reasons besides, money/residency. The men OTOH, can not.
