Dominican Brides

Dominican Brides: The Best of Both Worlds.

The Dominican Republic is located on a beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean Sea.  Dominica, however, shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, one of the poorest and least developed nations in the world.  

Unfortunately, due the extensive media coverage of the recent Haitian earthquake, many Americans and Europeans assume Dominica must be similar: a backward rural nation of illiterate, poor, and desperate people.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

In reality, Dominica is one of the most developed countries in the Caribbean, an upper-middle income nation with the largest economy in Central America, and is the most popular tourist and vacation spot in the Caribbean Sea.  Girls from The Dominican Republic are modern, urban, educated, and share many cultural similarities with Americans and Europeans. 

Here are some of the reasons you should consider persuing Dominican women for marriage:

Dominican Women Have an Exotic Beauty

You will be hard pressed to be find women quite like Dominican girls anywhere else in the world.  Europeans, Africans, and Taino Native Americans have been inter-marrying here for five hundred years.  The result is a new and completely mixed ethnicity-in fact, 73% of Dominica's population can only be described as "multiracial" – but if you ask me, I would just describe them as Hot!

The exotic look of Dominican babes includes shiny black hair and dark eyes, curvy and voluptuous bodies that fill out a bikini nicely, and skin tones in every shade of brown imaginable.  In fact, Dominicans have had to stop using the simplistic "white" and "black" to describe skin tones in favor of more descriptive complexions such as morena (brown), canela ("cinnamon," or red-brown), blanca oscura (dark white), and triguena ("wheat-colored," or olive-skinned).  The number of international beauty pageants that Dominican babes have won is a clear testament to their beauty.

Dominican Girls Are Family-Oriented

Like many Latinas, women from the Dominican Republic value family value highly.  They place a high importance on raising happy and healthy children in an orderly, peaceful home environment.  Generally speaking, a woman who joins a Dominican dating site wants to meet a responsible, reliable man who treats her with respect and is honest, trustworthy, and faithful to her.  If you can meet her expectation, then in return you can expect a loyal, devoted wife and caring, affectionate mother.

The flip side of this equation is that your Dominican bride's parents, siblings, and extended family will also be highly important to her, and she will want to visit them often.  Given that Dominica is a hot vacation spot with beautiful beaches, this is not necessarily a bad thing. 

The DR is Great Place to Visit

The average annual temperature in the Dominican Republic is 77 degrees, with the mountains at the center of the island being much cooler.  The island of Sanos, just off the southeastern coast, has perhaps the best beaches in the Caribbean.  

And best of all, Those Hot DR girls are much closer than you think.  The Dominican Republic is comparatively close to the United States - only a three-hour plane ride from Miami, Florida.

Dominican Women Are Christian

Forget what you've heard about voodoo; that exists mostly on the other side of the island in Haiti.  Although the cultural influence of voodoo in society may be visible in Dominican girls in the forms of myths, legends, and superstitions, very few Dominicans are full-fledged voodoo practitioners.

In reality, 87% of Dominican girls are Christians of one denomination or another: 69% are Catholic, 17% are Evangelical Protestant, and 1.1% are LDS/Mormon.  While well over half of all Dominican ladies are Catholic, Dominican Catholicism is generally more relaxed than the Catholic traditions in other Latin American countries.  This may be due to the strong French influence in the nation's colonial history.  Don't be surprised when free-spirited, fun-loving Dominican brides have children and grow into a devout Catholic mothers; in many ways, it's the best of both worlds.

Dominican Ladies Are Well Educated

In contrast to Haiti, over 87% of Dominicans are literate (and most of the illiterate population is from the older generations in the rural areas).  In the Dominican Republic, primary education is both free and required from the ages of five to fourteen.  Middle and secondary school, although not compulsory, is free and widely available.  Many Dominicans, especially in the urban areas, have at least the equivalent of a high school education.

Many Dominican Mail Order Brides Speak English

While Spanish is the official language of the Dominican Republic, English is taught as a second language in most religious and private schools.  Although many girls from the Dominican Republic may not be fluent and will almost certainly have an accent, they should be able to communicate in English and will quickly improve their linguistic skills once they marry and move to an English-speaking country where they are immersed in the language around them.

Dominican and Western Cultures Share Many Similarities

Dominica is a very modern, urban nation.  Over 63% of the population live in cities.  Broadband internet access is available throughout most of the country – making it very easy to maintain a long distance relationship.  Over 83% of Dominicans have mobile phones, and many internet service providers offer wireless 3G internet for laptops and smart phones.  Dominica is also in the process of converting their radio and television stations to the digital spectrum through HDTV and HD radio.

Dominicans love their sports and their music.  Baseball is by far the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic, followed by basketball, soccer, and boxing. 

Musically, in addition to the traditional Dominican musical forms like meringue and bachata, local rock bands and dance music are popular throughout the country.  In the last decade, Dominican rap and hip-hop has become increasingly popular, with many local artists popping up, especially in Santiago and Santo Domingo

Dominica, continuing its habit of breaking stereotypes, is also surprisingly secular for a Latin American country.  Although mostly Christian, it has a long history of religious freedom, and contains communities from many religious faiths such as Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Baha'i... the list goes on.  Even more surprisingly, over 10% of Dominicans claim no religion at all-either agnostic, atheist, or religious but non-practicing.

Finally, the Dominican Republic has had a stable democracy since 1978.  Any Dominican girl less than thirty years old has only ever known a democratic Dominica, and any woman younger than forty remembers the pre-democratic era as only a distant childhood memory.

In short, there are enough cultural similarities between Western men and their Dominican wives to form a bridge of understanding between the two that enables them to get along extremely well.  Although foreign men may never learn all there is to know about their Dominican girlfriends and their country, it's fairly certain that you'll never get bored of trying. 

It's the adventure of a lifetime... so what are you waiting for?

Dominican Dating – What to Expect

Dominican Republic dating is a lot more relaxed than in many areas in of Latin America, perhaps because of the strong French influence on the island.   Nearly every woman in the Dominican Republic is Catholic, but it is generally a more relaxed Catholicism than in a lot of Central and South America. 

Also, don’t be surprised if you meet a Dominican babe who is interested in voodoo and very superstitious.  Of course, Haiti is the epicenter of voodoo, but it has a strong presence everywhere on Hispaniola.  However, superstitious Dominicans generally are not full-fledged voodoo practitioners.
