I don't see any guys fighting off women, only in their mind does it happen. 😃

Whhaaaaa, yet another uninformed person who thinks AI actually exists or will any time soon, some of us know by using ChatGPT for example it is 99% hype, I use it on a daily basis, it is a very good tool, I have to keep on correcting its mediocre results though. I tell you what, download it to your computer and tell it to design in detail, right down to the code, tell it to design you a banking app, let me know how you get on. 🤣 To give you an insight why I can say such things with some confidence, 35 years plus as a freelance software engineer and a masters degree from Oxford in software engineering. But as far as livelihood goes, I have already made my money, designing apps and such things are just to keep my brain in gear. In fact ask ChatGPT if it has or it is AI and it will tell you it does not.

Before reading the replies I thought to myself I bet there will be lots of negative comments about smart phones just as there seems to be mostly negative and moaning comments about all the other topics replied to on this forum, it is full of miseries it seems. Smart phone. Let me see .... No, I don't think I will bother with the extensive positive list of things as that would be a waste of time. Right that is my fifteen minutes break over, I will go back to the design/programming/testing of my latest iPhone app. Oh, one good thing I will mention, I can work in Thailand and any other place in the word, all I need is a computer and an iPhone, I can work as many or as few hours I like while making lots of money from the sale of the apps, that is good enough for me as a single positive.

You said, "I have had a relationship with a girl who had her own income and career. Guess what? I still had to pay the mortage, food bills and all other bills." I laughed when I read that, now that is sad. You said, "......neither man nor woman, enters into a relationship unless they want something from the other." That is very true, as far as I am concerned, the serious women in my life wanted to be in a relationship because they want a life to share with someone, companionship, happiness, understanding and all the other things which you seem to know nothing about. I am not saying in the distant past I did not pay for a girl for a weeks holiday as it was just about sex, but I knew what it was all about, but to think that no other type of relationship exists outside of paying for a woman is sad. By your statement which more or less says all women only want money from men is also saying that applies to our sisters, mothers and other women in our family, friends and lives. I know that is not true.

You said, "So stop lying. Nobody believes your bs." I have no reason to lie, I do not know you nor will I ever know you or anyone else on this site, I am merely balancing the comments by stating not all men need/wish to pay for sex or a relationship. Have you never had a relationship where you are both have an income, a career and are independent financially, both with your own assets where the woman is not some scammer, if not then that is sad, of course there are many women out there who guys might want to hire now and then long term for some fun as it is just a sex thing but that does not replace normal relationships. I remember sitting in a restaurant with four farangs a few years ago, I knew one slightly and the others were his friends, they were telling each other how they had bought their 'girfriend' a house, a car, regularly send money to her family up in some backwater village in Isaan, one said, "you know, the standard way of doing it", I didn't bother to argue as it would have been a waste of time but I never met them again. If you do not know the difference or have never experienced it then that is sad, good luck with your one sided polarised limited view of Thai women, there are many like you is seems, the rest of us avoid you. Ps, we are all very handsome to the type of girl you seem to mix with if we have a few thousand baht in our pocket, maybe that is why you think you are so handsome.

I see, so in your world good looking women and the ability to work and earn a very good living are mutually exclusive. Just because that is your own experience does not mean it is universal, it is in fact your perception of the 'universe'. It could be you are the ugly one and so you have to pay for it. You said, "Women grant sexual access in exchange for resources. This is how the world works and has always worked since time immemorial." Keep on paying for it as that is what you seem to think is the norm, you live in a different circle to mine it seems.

Can I make a slight addition to your comment, "3 pretty Thai ladies will come sit next to him and his wallet". 😄

"......he's talking about paying money for a girlfriend.....", a very strange attitude, paying money for a girlfriend? that means buying/hiring one, is that what some guys think a girlfriend is, a woman you buy? I wonder what century we are living in, are we in a situation where women work, have their own businesses, are professionals, can take care of their own expenses? I think it is funny how you seem to have different tiers for gold diggers, a gold digger is a gold digger, often known by other words. That has been my experience so far in this old life of mine, I don't remember having to pay a subscription in order to get a girlfriend or partner. No doubt someone will say I paid for dinner etc for women and that is a sort of way to hire a woman, but what about when they pay for dinner, does that mean they are then hiring us? My experience so far of having girlfriends or partners is we both work, pool the money and pay from that on an equal basis, I think that is how the world works, even in Thailand it seems to me as the vast majority of Thais I know do that. Maybe I am not into the farang/Thai old-bloke/young girl scene and know nothing of it, but I have heard and seen it from a distance, I prefer to keep it that way.

How does this work out financially? If a guy pays 30k baht a month is that much cheaper than hiring a woman for maybe three times a week for sex? I suppose there are pros (pun not intended) and cons, with a monthly subscription you at least know what your are getting and the woman (or girl) is safe, with a new one each time there must be risks but at least you get variety. But I suppose if a guy is 20+ years older than the girl then they have to pay for it as lets be honest, no where in the world would a girl be interested in an old bloke for sex. But for some reason in Thailand many farangs believe otherwise. I do find it funny when I see the situation though where an old bloke is strutting down the street with a young woman, they seem to think we do not know what is going on and do not seem to realise we could all do it.

Thank god we do have the police, lawyers, judges and the rest as it would all be a real mess if we were all convicted by social media. People who spend time on blogs such as this are impartial, that is funny.

That is fair as after all many Thai women over the decades have had a lot of 'farangness" inside them. 😃

It just further evidence to support my outlook and attitude towards Thailand. Thailand is great, I love it, I have been coming here for 30+ years on long holidays and have lived in Phuket for 2.5 years now (3 months holiday in England at the moment). But as we can never be resident here or fully retire here we should keep all of our major assets in our own country, and our money, only bring what we need here to live on. My Thai partner owns the house we live in as she bought it from her tour business income, we balance out our expenses between us. I keep a few thousand pounds in cash, and access to £50k instant money in case I ever need to "do a runner", we are after all temporary guests here on our temporary annual visa extensions, with no rights at all it seems when it comes to the crunch. He was found not guilty during the first court case it seems, but on appeal they found him guilty despite all of the evidence in his favour, hence time to do a runner. I see a lot of hatred towards him by many farangs is due to the fact he may have a lot of money and so the 'green eyed monsters' are out and about every chance they can get. Good luck to him, I hope it turns out well for him in the long run.

Maybe they have become afraid to smile at you. 😄 Anyway if you are Bob, then it is good to see you back as you make me laugh, especially when so many others get annoyed at your comments.

True, the other blokes were on hand to keep her well oiled. 😄

"She doesn't appear "clearly happy" to me." That is part of the act, I think she would have learned that trick on week two of induction course.
