Man, some of you guys need to get a room!!!!!

I suggest a small room, locked for 3 hours until you guys are hugging

I'm sure all of you guys trashing this girl's looks are a great bunch of handsome specimens.

I certainly can assure you that many TV members are very "HANSUM"!!!

Like sean conneryy

what you guys need to understand is that many of these supermodels, espeically catwalk models, are chosen based on a certain look, and legs as long as chopsticks and a body like a 10yr old boy

I dont find them remotely attractive, but my guess is that if they had too pretty faces, that were friendly looking or smiley, then it would take the attention away from the clothes they were modelling

im surprised you guys arent more shocked that a prius costs 1.37m baht

well at least she didnt say "its none of your business or you will lose FACE"

60 baht stall meals on the side of the road was a bit MEH in my opinion,

but Oh my god, when I went to terminal 21 food court where I could get a meal for 30 baht!!!!!!!

I couldnt believe it

This is exactly how its done in japan!

man comes home, gives paypack to wife, and wife allocates a monthly allowance for you to be able to spend on your lunches at work etc.

most of the time it can be really low, like $10 US per day,

its because they work so damn hard and the hours, they have no choice but to let the wife to be the financial controller of the family

thats because despite the fact taht many japanese girls are absolutely gaga over anything white/farang

and yes there always money grubbers in every country, especiall asia and in japan,

you cant be a three time divorced loser, living on a pension and live like a king in japan, whilst having young girls throwing themselves at you,

as a whole, the japanese are less materialistic, and do have some standards when it comes to dating farangs

If you are a loser back home in every aspect whether it be financial, career, relationship, socially, you are still going to be one in japan, a lot less likely in thailand

Haha good old Thaivisa

The only place where multi divorced men, hansum indeed who go to pick up some bar girl half their age

And come and boast and outdo eachother about how much they know about Thailand and how long they have lived in it

It's a unique phenenomenon that only happens in thailand, no other country in my experience

Classic!

I think this op has a pint to make and made it well, I have been asked many times to lend money to the " Thai family" deposit on a house for a cousin, 8000bt for a phone for unemployed son 6000 to pay drink driving, no licence fine for same son, even her golf teacher asked for a loan to run a comp, all have been refused and she has been told in no uncertain terms I do not lend money to anybody and they should go to a bank or one of the many money lenders around.

She has got the message now and knows never to ask me again.

I am not being mean or stingy I have worked for what I have since I was 13 and never claimed the dole and lost a great deal through 2 failed marriages, I brought my kids up the same way and they work for everything they want and appreciate all they have.

That's hilarious

What the hell do these idiots goes through their mind when they ask

And yet they are first to mention loss of face when they want behave like idiots

Hiso Chinese....from a good middle class family......how come you forgot to add ?

Ahhh yes damn I forgot, I'm slipping

And how everyone ogles her when she walks down the street in total jealousy

And how all ypur friends back home are shaking with jealousy (who are actually laughing at you, but you'll never know)l]

Am I the only one that feels disgusted by the idea of 'holiday girlfriends' or pay-to-play? Sick...

Another self righteous w,,,,k......

And your gf or wife has what job exactly??

She's a bi-lingual marketing & sales executive for a Japanese industry hardware business at their office here in Bangkok. She's not wealthy by western means but she makes roughly 50,000 thb a month which is enough for us to split bills. She cleans and I cook. She probably does significantly more around the house than me and never complains. I appreciate her and love her very much. She appreciates the way in which I treat her and she loves me very much. The day I have to give her baht just to stay by my side is the day I'll find another girlfriend. If I give her baht for something it's because I want her to be happy, not because I want her to stay with me. Actually, now that i think of it, I've never given her baht for anything although I have bought a few dinners if that counts .

Let me guess, she has four masters degrees, speaks 17 languagaea, and looks ten years younger then she is and you are fit and handsome and havr a full head of hair

Am I the only one that feels disgusted by the idea of 'holiday girlfriends' or pay-to-play? Sick...

No. I think if you read the post previous to yours you'll see he's in the same holier-than-thou, self-righteous bag that you are.

Holier-than-thou, self-righteous or not, if I ever reach a point in my life when I have to pay someone to be in a relationship with me or be my friend, then that would be the time when I need to deeply reflect on whether my existence is worthwhile and possibly considering calling it a day.

Well...i think there is a difference in paying for sex with a prostitute and paying someone to stay wih you in a relationship, dont you ?

I knoe many who would say they are identical

And I'm sure there are heaps of people in any country that would say being married for ten years and to be taken to the cleaners is no different and often the hourly rate is far better for the woman!

What about "i lose face "

It seems most of them use that whenever they want behave irrationally or illogically

Be a bit more selective and find a girl who likes to save, scolds you for being wasteful and doesn't have a leeching family. Plenty of them out there.

YOU are so right. When I meet my wife, I was making big money and had been making it for years, and didn't have a thing to show for it. After we meet and married, that all changed DUE TO HER, not me. My salary was deposited into an account and she held the ATM and bank book, I was put on a budget, which i was not a happy camper being treated like a child, but she had a 3 year plan. This plan was to buy land, build a home, buy a car and truck, and pay cash for all of it, and have at least 3-4 million in the bank, all this in 3 years.

I'm very proud to say, my wife turned my life around, and we have a beautiful home, on 3rai, a Ford Focus, and a Toyota 4 door truck, and a very nice sum in the bank. She gives ma and pa 4,000 bhat a month, and nothing more., she is so TIGHT she SQUEAKS. But damn nice to her her squeak when its my money she is holding. She did loan a neighbor 50,000 bhat but she had a paper drawn up where the lady signed over the land she owned until the debt was repaid with interest, and if 3 payments in a row were missed, she would lose all claim to her land. I married a village gal with a brain, and a fantastic wife.

Non educated, poor girl marries rich farang, and then gets to control more money then probably her entire family will earn in a lifetime and the life and behaviour of some old rich guy,

Whilst the guy thinks he has hit the jackpot............

Man, thanks for the laugh

I thibk Steven Spielberg wants to film a documentary on your life,

Not only in thailand, but arpund the world

Women will call ypu stingy when they feel you arent spending enough on them, or when your spending habits are more frugal then theirs!

Their expectations of how much they think they deserve depends on how attractive they are, how much their friends are getting (in terms of cash, gifts, or other spending), or how much Hollywood is telling them they should be getting in the next episode of sex and the city

What you have to be careful of IMO, is that they don't seem to comprehend how much it has cost to take that 100B over the counter, they seem to think it is all profit or at least they made their 20B. They don't seem to be able to factor in rent, power etc, then at the end of the month they can't understand why they are short. Not all of course there are some VERY rich Thais but on average unless they own the property and are living there it doesn't seem to last long...

Good luck all the same

without turning this into a thai bashing thread,

are they really that stupid??? no seriously

sure, when you first start a business, you may be snowed under with stress or even naive

but one doesnt take more then a month to realise, out of the 100b, comes out rent, electricity, insurance etc. etc.

if they were all that stupid, then businesses would fold after a month, unless there is a dumb farang funding it

Say "I'm going to beat you uo because I lose face"

Even though it has nothing to do with face or makes any logical sense

what a wonderful world we live in, where a woman with no education, low IQ can get married to some guy in thailand for a short period of time,

no kids, and then get access to his assets through an australian court,

and its no wonder the number of men choosing to marry are going down every year

but it seems that many foreigners in thailand have been married multiple times before so I guess another marriage isnt such a big deal

It also comes down to what attitude you project. If you meet a nice lady don't throw money on her the first thing you do. Test the waters a bit, if she offers to pay or split tabs and what not, you probably have a good thing going. If she starts asking for gifts and phone credit etc bye bye...Basically its easier to spot the gold diggers I would imagine, just stay away from those and eventually you will find a normal Thai lady who doesn't expect anything from you but your company.

unless you act like or are hugh heffner,

why would you buy a phone, pay for rent, pay for mortgage, car repayments, credit card,

the actual idea of it is absolutely absurd!

would you do this in your own country, I seriously doubt it,

then why the hell would you do it in thailand!?!?!!?!

frankly, if I was asked this, that would be the last time I spoke to them, and more importantly, its probably just as insulting as "you have a small penis"

its easy.

find a girl on the same social standing as you.

if you are a fat old sexpat pushing 60 who wants a 20 year old petite and attractive Thai girlfriend, and you want this relationship based on something other than financial security? Keep on dreaming.

Date girls who have a job and a hobby. Date girls in your general age range. Date girls not "out of your league" in attractiveness. Date girls who you can connect with socially (learn thai, share hobbies / interests / personalities) etc

You can't just say "oh you will find X girl here" as it is all subjective. My experiences and options as a young and confident western man in Bangkok is not going to mirror those of the aging retiree.

Problem is a lot of older guys live in delusions of reality. They get a bit of attention from some poor girls or hit the bars and suddenly think they can play above their station with a girl "who doesn't want money"

EXACTLY!

its the all too common, "im a foreigner from a western country, there fore I am better, more knowledgeable, cultured, sophisticated, educated, and know better" attitude

if you are a loser with the ladies back home, then chances are, you are still a loser in any country, just in thailand, you are a 'rich hansum man'

why anyone feels entitled and expectations to bat way out of their league is just plain embarassing,

so many of those people on here,

Why do you feel guilty? You don't state what you feel is wrong with it.

People are judgemental. Deal with it.

Maybe its just me, but I feel im being a total hypocrit,

much like I wouldnt get personal trainer advice from someone overweight,

I feel a little self conscious thinking "oh she has a better body so ill choose her" when i dont have a "hot male body"

and yet I see overweight, balding, sloberring men (regardless of country) talk about how physically hot a woman is and seem to have an entitlement to it

Iguess its just me!

It is unfair to refer to men as balding, along with being overweight, slobbering, and in many other cases, tattooed. All these things are self inflicted, being baldy is not, and again I say, no, I am not bald.

you are correct, however, not many people would find bald as attractive

like being short, its not self inflicted, but that excuse isnt going to pass in the dating world

or even ugly haha
