I wouldn’t say you can’t use tinder. I met my Colombian wife on tinder and met my ex Dominican girlfriend on tinder. As a result I have been all over these countries in private beaches, parties, and places only the locals know about and all for free. You have to use common sense like
@Wiseborn said. If she’s showing ass and t*ts on tinder she’s a prostitute. if she has pictures with her family doing regular shyt then she’s most likely a regular. if she has a normal bio than she’s most likely a regular girl. If her bio has devil emojis etc then she’s most Likely a prostitute. There’s regular girls on tinder just like the United States.
If you really want to meet a regular woman on tinder the key is to talk to her 30-60 days before your trip. The whores in these Latin countries don’t have the patience to continue a conversation for more than a few days before they’re sending you the same mass text about a sick family member or some other bs reason why they need money. In this time with a regular girl, however, they will put you on game about common scams, correct prices, how to navigate, areas to avoid, tourist traps, and most importantly you’ll have p*ssy lined up as soon as you step off the plane.
My very first trip to the DR the girl I met on tinder had her stepfather (taxi driver) pick me up from the airport. I met her family and we went out for dinner and I fukked her that same night. But this is because we had been talking for months before I even went. I was able to go to the DR twice a month because they looked out for me when I was there. I still keep in touch with the family and now her mother just brought a property near a private beach town that’s becoming a booming tourist spot and she’s giving me investment advice on where to purchase a similar property. The amount of game locals can give you is invaluable.
