Honestly tho, what would numbers drop to if they somehow completely remove this aspect of Pattaya?

I've seen huge gaps in years and successful relationships--the man offers something more than just financial support. He may be able to show the girl new things; he may be able to make her laugh and enjoy her life with him; he may encourage her to better herself and be able to help her achieve her goals. If you hook-up with an old dragon with baggage, no matter how young in years she may be; your chances for success are slim.

I like your theory and would be great in a vacuum.

But I can't imagine they would be interested in it just for the other segment without the financial support. Most at least, I know I wouldn't be. Been wrong before, so who knows.

Seems like a rational question to me.

 

I've known far too many farangs who are, or have been, in bad relationships with Thai women. And, we all have seen too many stories of woe about TV posters' relationships with Thai gfs.   

 

I met one the other night; been here five years and on his third "Thai wife" The two previous ones had Thai boyfriends and ripped him off monetarily. His third was demanding house, car and family support. 

 

So, I wholeheartedly agree with JJGreen's post and I too wonder about those who are in and/or keep getting into bad relationships. It appears they do not change their selection criteria for women and can't imagine why they end up with the same type of woman.  So, I too wonder why don't you just stay single?

 

 

i had always wondered about this. If there is a huge gap in years obviously there should be some kind of compensation. Do they stay with us for our good looks, charm, intelligence which you may posses but they can't understand it anyway in most cases.  I'm sure there is many working relationships between thai/farang but they don't make it to forum because have better things to do

BTW, how do you know these two recent drownings did not have life guards on the beach? 

If they did? does that make it better or worse?

I don't speak Thai or Lao, taught Mrs.Trans English, was a bit of fun, mind you they are taught a little English at school here, that helped....

that's great, my reply was to the person who expects great conversation, while having huge language barriers in place from the get go and throwing everyone in the same basket

if you need someone with a brain for chatting i agree that a relationship with thai is useless

i suspect you don't speak Thai. same would be hard for me to keep any intelligent debate in Swahili

A 23 year old THAI after stealing that kind of money , wil be found on a homeless shelter ?!!!

Something is not right here. Hope it's not another setup or he is just a escape goat.
