I just returned from a 12-day "workcation" in Santo Domingo. After having read the tales of this city as a potential "poosy paradise", I wanted to check it out for myself and see what the deal was.
For context, I'm 5'8", American, white, aesthetic body (10 years of lifting under my belt), below-average facial attractiveness, great style, solid alpha frame and game, and completely fluent, nearly bilingual Spanish.
In the US, I typically rely on Tinder, where I'm able to easily pull 6s and sometimes 7s directly over to my house in one of the hardest dating markets in the US.
PIPELINING
I used two sources, Instagram and Tinder. Instagram was a total bust. I ended up meeting up with three girls from there. Two I made out with and then they said they had to leave, another refused to even kiss me despite being in my lap in my apartment. I was really stoked on Instagram in the beginning after getting like 20 numbers from it, but I think if there's not sufficient initial attraction, it's really hard to make something happen.
Tinder was the clear winner. The overall quality of the girls on Tinder is very, very low, but your match rate will be high as a foreigner so you can filter easily. I banged three girls from Tinder. Two of them were skinny, leggy models and over 5'10". The third was a girl that superliked me on my first day. She wasn't great, but was willing to come right over and I wanted to get my flag out of the way.
SOCOECONOMICS OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
I was rather aghast at how pretty much every single field report here and on external blogs completely glossed over the entire socioeconomic classes of the Dominican Republic. (The only one that really gets it right is El Conquistador's guide here: https://thisistrouble.com/2016/12/08/dominican-women/)
Let's get one thing straight: all those reports you read about how Forum Member X and Forum Member Y went and banged Z number of Dominican girls per day on their trip? Yeah, those girls were all lower class girls, generally 5s and below, who were sleeping with them completely because of their foreigner status, attempting to lock down with their vaginas the one guy that would lift them out of poverty.
There are three main types of girls I met in the DR:
Lower class - the majority of girls you will see on Tinder. Lots of single mothers, low quality photos, ghetto dress, little to no education or communication skills. Many of them are actually prostitutes but will usually fuck a gringo for free if their value is high enough.
Aspiring middle class intellectual - these girls are very analogous to white American college students. Smart, interesting, can provide for themselves, and respond well to humor and chivalry. Often living on their own or with roommates.
High class - these girls come from the richest families and can be seen strutting their stuff in the finest nightclubs and on Instagram doing all sorts of high-status things. The fact that you are from abroad matters not to them. The only way to get through to these girls is by virtue of social circle. If you are not in their social class, they will not fuck you.
The game you need to run on these three different types of girls is completely different, and this is what the guides I read before going almost completely glossed over.
ONLINE GAME
I believe I read in one of the field reports here that you must completely deprogram yourself from American-style "alpha" game. THIS COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE. This game runs in my blood and it was very, very hard for me to change things up with the short time I had. I'm sure it cost me some bangs.
I started things out by aggressively opening girls on Tinder and telling them I wanted to pin them up against the wall and fuck them (this works like a charm on Tinder in the US, by the way). The girls were horrified. I quickly stopped.
The game that works in the Dominican Republic is beta game. For us Americans, it may seem counterintuitive, but it's true. I think it's because most Dominican guys are perverts and creeps, so if you do the opposite of what they do, you'll have success.
Your general game should go something like this, for the lower class girls:
You: Eres linda
Her: Gracias
<2 lines more of small talk>
You: Tienes WhatsApp? A ver si nos podemos conocer en persona y no solo en Tinder.
She'll then send you her WhatsApp. It's amazing how well this simple routine works. Just compliment her, ask for her number, and set up the date.
For the middle class and educated girls, you can be a bit more flirty and use some humor and jokes. This doesn't work on lower class girls, they have pretty much no education and even as a gringo your ability to express yourself in Spanish might actually be better than theirs.
IN-PERSON GAME
Because I am lazy, I invited almost all of the girls I met directly to my place. The lower her social status is compared to yours, the easier it will be to get her directly to her place. If she turns you down, you can still salvage it by saying you want to walk with her to the colmado to get refrescos first and if she thinks you are a creep she can run away.
Offering to send an Uber for a girl to get her to your place is always a win. If you don't offer she's likely going to ask for you to pay for her taxi anyway, and taxis are more expensive.
All Dominican girls respond very easily to touch. You should be touching them almost immediately and escalating as fast as possible. I did not ever have a girl shy away no matter how quickly I started kino.
Continue to escalate until they actually say no and talk about leaving. One of the models I banged I got from "I don't kiss on the first date" to her saying "Quiero tomar tu leche" in 45 minutes.
Even if a girl comes to your place, that doesn't mean she's going to hook up with you or even expect anything. I had a girl come up to my place after taking her out and she refused to even kiss me. I kicked her out.
OTHER
The food is terrible, salty, and unhealthy. Pack a ziploc bag full of protein powder and make protein shakes if you have an apartment.
The entire city is polluted. Try to avoid your outside time. Piantini is actually polluted and dirty. So much for being a "luxury area". The Zona Colonial is actually fairly tranquil and clean.
Daygame is probably the only way to get access to high quality pussy, but you'd have to be on a longer trip and/or have more spare time than I did to make it worthwhile.
Some girls will show up on a date with their friend. I've read about this in a few countries, seems to be a Latin thing. One Instagram girl showed up to my house in a taxi with her friend (because of "confianza") without letting me know. I sent them both home immediately. I'm a savage.
CONCLUSION
The Dominican Republic is a great place for a trip for beta guys with low to average SMV. Your value here will skyrocket compared to your home Western country.
Guys with higher than average SMV who already do well in their own countries will only get a little bit of a bump from being in the DR.
Hope this adds to the compendium of knowledge about this city. Happy to answer any questions in this thread, I'm by no means an expert, but I did my best to completely immerse myself in Dominican culture during my short time in Santo Domingo.
