I wasn't even going to read it, but I thought I'd have a look after this comment. You're right. It sounds like a heavily embellished fictional "memoir". Awful. The first thing that springs to mind it, why is there nothing she can do? She's in some sort of anti-trafficking gang. Why not bar-fine her (if she is even a prostitute in the first place) and then try to help her, if she's in such dire straights? "I see you. I hear you." What good is that? "Oh thank you so much. You seeing me and hearing me makes me feel so much better about my apparent sexual slavery".

No. They would probably find it funny and paint the men as predators.

So, they advise you do this: But they say the problem is this: Strange.

Explaining things that you don't understand to try and help you get to know the world a little better. I enjoy helping others. ????

You're welcome. I like to help out when I can. ????

"Suffering from" is very different from "suffering". Good idea for you.

The latter is certainly useful for someone suffering from the former.

Oh sorry, I WAS talking about those so called hoolighans. Good for you. But why?

EXCEPT football hoolighans! 555 Maybe some of them, but really I have no idea what point you are making. Do you think most British people are football hooligans or something? You're not making much sense.

Again, it's well established that people that get drunk and fight do so because of personal issues. You can't keep making up your own reality, if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Not that we're talking about football hooligans, but they do need to drink a lot or take other substances to get themselves ready. ????‍♂️

It's pretty well established that British people are pretty shy and reserved, and most drink to be able to relax and socialise. I guess you can have your own imaginary version of reality, as with the other post, but you're kidding yourself, again.

British people can be very shy. it's why they drink so much.

Is that a euphemism? ????

Unlikely, but men and women are attracted to different things and look for different things in a partner. It depends on the economic situation of the father and the girl. If she is likely to end up with a poor Thai man*, who drinks, gambles, lies, cheats and abuses her, the older foreigner who would treat her better and provide more for her, could seem like the better option. E.g. In the Philippines, poor people are very keen on their daughters being with a foreign man, particularly an older one. (One assumes so that he can give them White children and citizenship, leave his money, and be out of the picture as soon as possible.) *Not that there's anything wrong with being poor, but this is something people think about when selecting a man. These aren't rules, and men and women are different, as is East and West.

Well, you could tape the bag to your head, tie your hands behind your back, then jump into the canal and damage your head.

The relationship can't be that awful then?

Less than if they weren't born... ????

Allowing people who have nothing to do with you to control what you do using shame. Choosing to do what they allow you to do, rather than what you want to do or what makes you happy, even when doing so causes them no harm or inconvenience whatsoever.

Not really. Thais don't really view things that way. They would feel there is nothing they can do about it, and would not expect direct criticism leading to loss of face anyway.

Funnily enough, some people do tie their own hands behind their backs when they commit suicide. It's to prevent them from having a last minute change of heart. Their survival mechanism kicks in, so they tie their hands to stop them from undoing the rope or whatever.

Hierarchy.

They couldn't even if they wanted to. Hundreds of years of change cannot take place at will. Even the internet cant achieve that.

So your primary reason for choosing an age-gap is "social acceptability"?

You think Thaksin has never committed a crime? That's so cute.
