Your appearance matters overseas as well as your income. I have lived in multiple countries around the world. You have to be in shape physically. Dress well clean cut appearance and smell good. It's not hard to do.
You both are my #1 RUclips Podcaster! Bravo Uncle Jay thank for another informative and enlightening content! You are spoiling me with your very informative video on living in Santo Domingo, DR! Please keep your content coming! ANKH-ASE!
Appearance matters no matter where you are.Speaking the language of the country where you sre and being emotionally intelligent to understand their culture also makes the difference
1. So true about dressing how people in that place dress. I look at social media to see how the men dress in the countries I'm interested in. 2. I'm glad James said that about the type of crowd that you want to attract and talk about. Many people always speak badly about the DR in regard to dating. What I've noticed is that many that complain go to certain areas only or date women online only.
Your appearance does make a difference. I am in Nicaragua right now and after watching a TMD video I up grade my dress style and have met many more ladies. I also agree with what your husband said the setting makes a big difference. You can wear cargo pants and tennis and meet ladies in carberte but you must dress better in San Domingo. But sometimes i want to dress down to keep from getting rob in some places don't want to look like i got money. Watches, rings and slacks can also get you rob in some places and everyone listening to Dembo in baseball hats jeans and tennis and i looking like Morris Day.
I really enjoy the content that you and your husband put out. As someone who is seriously considering moving to the DR in the near future. Very informative and helpful ❤
Good content. Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.We do not see people as they are, but as they appear to us. ..the first appearance deceives many.
I cant see why anyone will get offended if you give a little advice. When I am in the DR I dress like I live in the Dominican Republic. Yea shirts and t-shirt’s close fitting. Shorts, pants and jeans not too tight but fit just right. And yes if your wearing shorts, put some lotion on especially if you have dry skin. People only know I am not from there when I open my mouth. Appearance do matter, and mannerisms. I really hope the standards in the DR don’t drop. You guys hitting the nail on the head. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
I like the dynamic understanding both preceptive make sense. Coming from the financial district I'm so used to dressing preppy that i dress like this all the time. I do get a lot of attention and then when i speak Spanish it will throw them off then people and asking me where I'm from. I will say that with women because I stay sharp, I'm always having them give me the look.
Thanks for the video. I wish that you could have more vids like this one. The long game is the only game, at least in my opinion. For serious individuals looking to find genuine relationships. Thanks..
I'm sure we'll do more videos similar to this as we have done in the past. But of I don't want the channel to be relationship focused. I like to be able to provide well rounded information on DR.
I wanted to add that we have a shiny hair culture like Italians instead of pink hair... I really like that comment "look how the other people are dressed". I was looking for that comment "what gives good reputation". I went to a catholic school so it's a reflex for me ...
My husband thought I looked homeless because I am Muslim and we cover everything lol and he is Dominican and used to naked women with short skirts and tight clothing. We definitely had to get use to each other cultures
Well…. I know I like fashion and to take care of myself, so I don’t worry about that, but now that this video is out, I sometimes wonder how my Dominican boyfriend will react to me when he sees my "issue" with my diagnosis, I have a bit of a physical problem that you can see. I told him my problem, and he says it’s not a problem, but I think it is
Why only mention dreadlocks and extension. That only target one race of people. I have dreads and my wife wear extension sometimes. That will offend a lot of people.
If someone gets offended by what you're saying they need to stay in the United States. Because they're going to be the ones with that screwed up mentality going to these other countries. Everything y'all are speaking on is correct. One thing that I realize is you have to leave that American mentality in America. Because everything doesn't operate like it does in America and the people definitely don't think the same nor act the same.
Appearance is the first thing you see so yes it matters!! There are dominicans with dreads. And plenty of women wear wigs and weaves lol yall have to come to the barrios its a different time
Sounds like you miss the point where I said there are Dominicans with dreads and the point where I said it's a different time and things have change. And regardless of whether you see it or not it still not the norm. If i have to go to the barrio to find it then that kind of proves my point.
@@NorberisR I didn’t say that to offend you. I only been to barrios that’s why I said that. I think wigs and weave are becoming popular because the celebrities are wearing them. I guess I missed where you said there are some men who wear dreads in rd lol. Times are changing
I traveled alot during my time in the military and you're told while in another country, you are ambassadors and need to act accordingly. That also extends to dress and grooming. That sticks with me to this day. You'll never see me in flip flops or yeezys 🥵
Don't judge a book by its cover. This is something I learned. My close friend died in Puerta plata. I was just in Puerta plata and Santo Domingo. Flew out of Las America on the tenth. February 10. Prettiest people can do the ugliest things. ( yes be clean in hygiene, I agree with the couple) But my mom taught me don't judge a book by its cover.
This isn't about judging. We are talking about if you are trying to date. And unfortunately, appearance matter in this case. But if your not trying date then disregard this message.
@@NorberisR i dated plenty in your country! Not just one ☝️! Prettiest people do the ugliest things! Hollywood looks good! Buck breaking is real! They will tell me or James ! Wear a dress 👗 !! As I won’t do it ! The prettiest woman I dated ! Were not the best woman 👩! When my money runs out thats how you know , if there good! Central Park bank 🏦 ran out of money the popular ! But one by Jose Luis grocery give me 5000 $ pesos! Tell the person I can’t get money ! Watch how they behave! ( the person who talk to me 7 years I would not predict) The prettiest mullato woman 👩 are devils! Look at the inside not the outside ! This I learned! I soon move in ! I’m no stranger march im back
This is an EXCELLENT video! I am an American who has been living in Puerto Plata for 9 years, but I enjoy travelling to Santo Domingo. The gringos are so obvious in Santo Domingo because they are dressed like they are tourist in Puerto Plata...jajajaja! Thanks for your videos!
Cuando veo un gringo en Santo Domingo vestido como un turista pienso "tu ta loco o que?"....jajaja. But seriously again I appreciate your videos and you should consider doing a meet and greet for your followers here in the Dominican Republic I am sure many of us would like to meet you and your husband. ..Pensarlo.
@@NorberisR yes, I am sure I am not the only ex-pat subscriber who feels like they know you because of your videos. It would be good to meet in person. Keep up the good work!
Of course he knows, he is just choosing to be offended. We both said we didn't and wasn't trying to offend anyone with the video, however he skipped right over that just to feel offended. It was just an example. And I never mentioned any of it being bad it's just not the norm here except for extensions. And I didn't mention extensions I said wigs because many women here do wear extensions.

That's because they are dating chapiadoras 😂. They need to find some real everyday working Dominican women
We agree. Thanks for sharing.

I was born and raised in DR, the violence is unbelievable now days....
Are you still living here?
Also guy's Learn SPANISH!
I really enjoy the content that you and your husband put out. As someone who is seriously considering moving to the DR in the near future. Very informative and helpful ❤
Thank you, we appreciate it.
I say yes, appearance does go a long way when you are overseas

Thanks great comment. 👍🏾
Good point!.the way i dress is kinda similar to the DR style..(Popi..not wawawa😂) and that is way easier to approach somebody you like.
Exactly!! Popi over wawawa😅
Many people forget....never judge a book by it's cover. Wise up closed minded people.
Thats sounds good and I don't think people forgot it but the reality is when it comes to dating everybody does it.

@@NorberisR Hey I enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
Have seen a lot of trailer park trash in West Virginia wearing their pajamas at Walmart.
I traveled alot during my time in the military and you're told while in another country, you are ambassadors and need to act accordingly. That also extends to dress and grooming. That sticks with me to this day. You'll never see me in flip flops or yeezys 🥵

That's a great idea. We have thought about it in the past right before covid and the idea got shut down. Maybe we will look at doing it again.
@@NorberisR yes, I am sure I am not the only ex-pat subscriber who feels like they know you because of your videos. It would be good to meet in person. Keep up the good work!
😂😂😂 I asked my ex-wife the same thing, why are you putting on all of that to go to the store? I was like this is crazy that doesn't make sense😂😂😂
😅
Banned for life---that was funny...
😅
just get to the gym. Dressing down makes a difference when you're in shape vs obese. Just calling a spade a spade.
Those American styles you guys mentioned were of ghetto America. Also, extensions are a fancy way of saying weave………
Are you saying dreadlocks and extension are ghetto. If so you disrespect whole countries.
@@power-of-the-bluebook get real. You know exactly what they are talking about.
@magiala5577 what is your ethnic background
@@power-of-the-bluebook Black American 🇺🇸 With that being said, “you know exactly what they are talking about”.
Of course he knows, he is just choosing to be offended. We both said we didn't and wasn't trying to offend anyone with the video, however he skipped right over that just to feel offended.
