Expectations & Reality when Dating a Dominican | Expats talk about their Relationships

People come to the Dominican Republic for many different reasons, and one of them is to look for a relationship, to find love and romance. Dating a Dominican woman or man, as a foreigner, can be a very different experience from what you're used to in your own country.
In this video, I will interview a number of expats: both single men and women, as well as married folks, to give you a perspective on the dating arena over here. All the information presented in the video is based on the personal and individual experiences of the interviewees, and shouldn't be generalized as a rule for the whole Dominican culture. So Let's begin! :-)

Great video as usual. The DR is the next island over and I’d been visiting for years but found Sosua by accident. It’s not good in my opinion to find marriage material. However, I’ve had three serious girl friends there. The stumbling block was always the same, they either didn’t want to move to Puerto Rico or couldn’t. The worst was a very popular Canadian. She was always scheming to get money out of me. Even after I broke it off, she hit me up to provide capital for a real estate development. Another serious girl friend was a nurse anesthesiologist in Santo Domingo. She was by far the prettiest, an absolute 10. We communicated daily for about 6 months but would never commit to moving to PR. One thing most men don’t realize is how easy it is to meet professional women in the DR. Sosua isn’t a normal dating environment and a difficult place to find a wife. For serious relationships get out of Sosua, your odds go way up where it’s not a tourist area. Short term relationships are what Sosua is known for.

I agree 100 %. To fino a good woman need to go to different area such like church,college or a professional environment. Not in puerto plata . ..

Chapiadora and sanky panky... Thanks for your comment :-)

[@ciromolina3684]

Great job. I am thinking about going to black beard resort which is close to soshua for my first trip to meet women safely?

[@EducatedTraveler]

Thanks! Yes, that could work, however, if you're after a lot more natural and genuine experience / results,, then consider hiring me for an online call. If that sounds interesting, then e-mail me at [e-mail] and I'll send you options and prices. Brgds, Mr.T

[@GingerDaddy444]

Excellent advice! Thanks for making the video. I agree with the American that not having that jab is a legitimate quality to look for, I also am pure blood and gave up on that criteria but he gave me hope to keep it. Very hard to find especially there from what I've seen using Tinder's Passport feature, many people their gave in, not sure if the had much of a choice however. The Dominican culture is to move relationships pretty fast but look out for love bombing and insinuating that they need financial help, too early. Their troubles should be kept out of the dating relationship out of respect early on. You are viewed as the ticket so don't be surprised but also, don't be so "tacao" stingy lol. Understand that you're dealing with a third world country and money and jobs are somewhat difficult to obtain. :) Looking for my Dominican wife as we speak. Happy hunting, best of luck, gente hermosa!

How about a video regarding what guys need to do to attract the right kind of women. Three of my friends in Puerto Rico are married to Dominicans and very happy. Of course, their wives are beautiful even by Puerto Rican standards and they have cousins, sisters and friends that are often successful professionals that want to date Norte Americanos. Gentlemen, it’s a target rich environment. We socialize at least monthly with these couples. During my single years they were a great resource. What no one will tell you is they check us out closer than you may realize. From the shoes you are wearing to your haircut, it’s been a real eye opener. Their husbands are my fishing and diving buddies. They’ve been married to American women before. In their opinion, gringas aren’t that interested in intimacy and when it does happen they act like they are doing you a favor. It’s the opposite with Latinas. They like it more than once a day and seem to enjoy it so much they are begging for it a few hours later. You become the pursued, not the pursuer.

[@kisms8590]

It's remarkable how a local mentions he will control everythibg his gf does and goes, and checks on her. Is that a reciprocal relationship, sounds one of obsessions. The only reason why woman would accept these conditions, is if they use the guy for upwards mobility.

[@EducatedTraveler]

Fair comments. Thanks for watching! Brgds, Mr.T

[@GingerDaddy444]

Wrong, they have a very promiscuous culture. Keeping tabs is a little overboard but a woman that respects her man should have no problem with checking in and open communication, regardless of taking advantage. Trust is earned not given.

[@AstroKnight_Gaming]

I’ve been in DR for almost 3 years and haven’t found a decent Dominican woman. This is depressing for me because I am Dominican and it sucks knowing the woman of my country are whores. I’m not into the mangos so I guess I’m doomed to be but alone I’m okay with that. I remember back in the 90’s when I was a Soldier in Germany I came across a brothel where the entire 6 story building housed Dominican prostitutes. For me the best women I’ve encountered are Puerto Rican. Given a choice between a regular Puerto Rican women or a glamorous Dominican woman I’m going for the PR woman every time.They truly know how to take care of their men.

[@jorgeduran7168]

Your opinión is very poor. There are good and bad women everywhere. If you want someone good has to look a woman that produce and selsufficient. Many men look for women under their level because are not capable or don't feel capable to conquer profesional women. They want to impress a lower level women. No selfsteem enough .

[@AstroKnight_Gaming]

@@jorgeduran7168 how are you going to judge my lived experience? I’m a well traveled Veteran and the worse women I’ve ever encountered are Dominican but go ahead and tell me more about my 1st hand experience. I’ll wait.

[@jorgeduran7168]

@@AstroKnight_Gaming i live in USA and for 28 years and i've seen worse than my country. I'm not judging your life but if the hat fit you put it on. If you don't know where to find good women i suggest to start searching in a church,college in dominican or any country.

[@AstroKnight_Gaming]

@@jorgeduran7168 It’s my country too. Thank you for your suggestion. Now allow me to make a suggestion of my own. I suggest you move on. Your comments are vapid and you come off as a smug self righteous prick. Peace

[@jorgeduran7168]

Te lo voy a decir en español que las mujeres que he tenido en republica dominicana ganan más que yo en USA y no tengo que jurarte porque no eres Dios pero yo he ido y han gastad de su dinero brindandome y han venido a USA a mi casa ellas pagando su ticket aéreo. Gerente de una zona franca en Santiago, otra ginecobstetra y una Maestra y todas viajan y tienen visa americana. Y hemos terminado porque no quieren ni necesitan vivir aquí en USA. Viven mil veces mejor que cualquier americano. Es es mi experiencia gracias a Dios. No enamoro mujeres ,yo espero ver a quien le caigo bien y entonces procedo a lanzarme pero mujeres como las que te nombré. No mujeres que tienen necesidades o están buscando una residencia.

[@dvsdvs04]

A very sad reality of the cultural minds on the island, even as late as 2023...could this level of mentality be washed out in the current or next generation?

[@markoramovic1093]

What does he mean by "Campo"?

[@maozhong88]

I think campo means country, like the countryside. You generally find better women who are more wife material in the countryside than the city. This is assuming what he meant by campo.

[@EducatedTraveler]

countryside, village type of settlement... away from towns and cities

[@rubencordoba8306]

country side

[@kennethherring3894]

Best advice never marry a Dominican! 😮it’s not a joke! 😅enjoy yourself and keep it moving!

[@daniellewarren8198]

Why?

[@GingerDaddy444]

Not good advice. Just heavily vet them. That's like saying don't marry any woman, because they all have the same inherent nature, and can cheat at the drop of a hat. DR has the most beautiful women in my opinion and they treat men very well if you find the right one. Not the same brainwashed feminist culture like the US.
