    I feel the same way. My great grand parents, grand parents and myself grew up in Sea Cows Bay. Sea Cows Bay use to be a lovely quaint village where everyone knew each other and it was peaceful. They allow all kind of outsiders especially the Santos in and now the village as you say has become contaminated. The bad part is that some of the same people who grew up in Sea Cows Bay is the ones that is responsible for &^%ng up the Village. You don’t even know most of them
    And I don’t care to know any of them. It feels terrible when your village is labeled as prostitution alley, little Santo Domingo, ghetto and hookers R US. They need to close down the hole in the wall rum shops in Sea Cows Bay. Any respectable bar will not be selling P…y from behind the counter or in their place of business. That one Y..** and ** ith who left his wife for the nasty dirty Santo is two of the ones responsible for bringing those dirty nasty S*** trash to Sea Cows Bay.

      The ones that is hitting the dislike button is the enablers and the Santo trash in the village. If you don’t like what I said, go continue eating your fried green plantains and dirty Lard fried pork. They got down here looking like the ghetto in DR where they come from, no class, nothing. Just a set of loud people. Sick of hearing that GWALLAH GWALLAH S**T.

      Check the police records. 99% of the crime in Sea Cows Bay is committed by local Tolans.
      Go check it out. You safer around the Santos. They never rob me yet but your saintly locals rob me twice.

    It has become increasingly obvious that told women are scared out of their wits when it comes to the lighter skin, long hair ladies of the fairer sex.

    When you compare the chalk and cheese no wonder that their radiator is running hot. Now when to compare what these buxom beauties have over the local lasses in reality not much.

    When it comes to looks no comparison. When it comes to food no comparison. When it comes to see no comparison. Men are attracted to beauty, food and sex. The Spanish and Jamaican women are head and shoulders above the tolan women in all three departments.

    Ok we know you are jealous of what we expats have. Live with it, watch us crossed eyes if you will. We have it and we will use it to our benefit. What do you have. Ok I forgot, you from hey.

      Some of what you have said is correct and some is not correct. You see, there are ugly dark skinned nappy, picky head Jamaican and Santo women. The ugly black skinned Jamacians and Santo women bleach their skins on a regular and go to the body shop to change their green pepper noses. Now, I will agree that Tortola women is no competition when it comes to looks, they are like eh. Typical bland looking island Women no matter what they put on, makeup, wigs, etc.. the outside women is always going to be the ones at the top of the game. Sorry Tortola women, they are taking all of your men and husbands. You all put your men and husbands in the hands of the outside women by letting them flood the BVI. MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN. LIKE THEY SAY, GIRLLLL YOU GOT THE RING BUT I GOT THE MANNNNNN.

      You need prayers. Instead of using your body, try using your brains. It will last longer, it will not tire and it will serve you until the day you die. Your body will tire, smell and mash up. Some man may take what you give them but no man will marry or want a long lasting relationship with somebody that's been run through. Remember beauty fades but a good character lasts forever and can afford opportunities/blessings that pum pum never will!

    Tortola women is slow, old fashion and to damn complacent. They seem to think that if a man put a ring on their finger and build a house and put them in they got it going on. That means nothing. The Santos, Jam downs, guyanese, Vinceys and the Venezuelans is going to take all of your men from you.
