Confuscious Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I am already 10 years single and every now and then I meet a woman who seems to get acquaintance with. But 99% of the chats turns after a few words into "can you support me"? I have asked many times: "what do you mean with "can you support me""? The standard answer is: "If you need to ask that then you should not meet a Thai lady". So, what is "can you support me"? Give a woman free (normal) housing; Free (normal) food; Free (normal) drinks; Medical help if she need a doctor; Etc...? If that woman has children, give the children adequate housing, food & drink, Medical help, etc...? Maybe "supporting a woman" means also pay for her parents and her brothers/sisters/ nephews/ etc..? Please, TV-members, enlighten me about the subject ..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaeJoMTB Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 Bad English translation of the Thai marriage promise. 'Do Lay', appears everywhere ...... look after ...... take care ....... marry, protect and provide. In return she must ........ serve you. 5 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Enoon Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) It's dead simple really: It's like the "Good Old Days" in my part of the West, when the man went out to work, came home with the money, gave some of it to his wife to pay for looking after him and the household (in Thailand that may include an extended family) and maybe gave her a bit more to spend on herself if he could afford to. That's basically what they expect/want. Some want a bit more, some want a lot more No, it's not very "liberated" is it........a lot of foreigners really like that. Also (in the Good Old Days in my part of the world) some men, who were strictly managed by their wives, would give all of it to the wife and hope that they would get some back as pocket money. Some men, like my great-grandfather, just pissed it all away on booze and gambling. If anyone in the family needed any money they had to go down the pub and beg it from him. (As it's Thailand you can, cheaply and guiltlessly, add go-go girls to the booze and gambling) It is really not at all complicated or difficult to understand......but some like to make it so. PS There are women in Thailand who might qualify as "liberated", but I suspect they are not the sort that you are knocking around with.

Popular Post petermik Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 She (if she has children/family to support) is asking are you prepared to pay her compensation for being your wife or girlfriend simple really.....she will have obligations as most thai ladies do.......your next step is to find out how much it,s going to cost U and take it from there but beware of any lady who asks this question early in the relationship....usually its a bad sign 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cyberfarang Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 "The standard answer is: "If you need to ask that then you should not meet a Thai lady". There is the OP`s answer. Give a woman free (normal) housing; Free (normal) food; Free (normal) drinks; Medical help if she need a doctor; Etc...? It could be said about keeping a dog. There is much more to it than that. The OP has been single for the last 10 years. I suggest he stays single for another 10 years. It will work out much cheaper in the long run. Otherwise if he wants a full time bed partner for the rest of his life, don`t expect it will be cheap. 8 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 I really don't know if there is any difference between a Western woman and a Thai woman asking this question. Based on experience, I'd say the Thai woman will prove to be less expensive in the long run. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read regularly threads here about "giving money to their wife or the family" most members answer that they have never paid 1 dime to their wife or their family. The wife/gf of most TV-members is mostly a PD with a University Doctorandus from Thammasat who don't need support. Good to see that you put it correctly now.

SooKee Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Less of a issue IMO with someone who has a regular job / income, especially if she's a professional, and who will continue to work. But it'll never completely go away, they will all want to be sure they are not tying themselves to someone that can't offer a degree of security for the future. More of a issue with bar girls I think, most guys maybe won't want them to continue to work in the bar / agogo, take away that income and it has to be replaced and you'll be paying it for the duration of the 'relationship'. Even then, I've come across career girls who are far more interested in money than might be considered reasonable / desirable. YMMV. TIT.

Popular Post 55Jay Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 What's the difference between a potential GF who asks you early.... To one who plays the longer game, laying the groundwork, knowingly establish sexual regularity and emotional familiarity. Then when she feels she's got the advantage, she lays it on you. Sure, the first one is more impersonal, or she's saving herself, and you, a bunch of time. Time you could use to start shagging something new. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using Tapatalk I had long evenings, drinking a beer and chatting with "normal" woman. Woman from farmer to a doctor. And money was never discussed. Everyone would support the newly wed family according their possibility. I had also long evenings, drinking a beer and chatting with "normal" woman. Woman from farmer to a doctor. The first thing that was asked was: - Where do you work? - How much (money) you have per month? - How much can you pay for the dowry? - Etc. Somehow, the second type can be seen even before she start chatting. Excessive gold wearing; Dressed like a bargirl; Behaving like a spoiled brat; etc. I have a steady gf (56 year old) who is teaching in a government school and we chat many times at a dinner or a party. She made it clear from the beginning that she never would marry again and want to live alone with her mother. She never talked about money. The only time "money" was a subject of conversation was 5 years ago when she needed to go to Mahasarakham to collect her PHD (with the presence of HM the princess) and she made already reservations for a bungalow. I wanted to split the costs, but she refused it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scoutman360 Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 All the comments here are total western thinking. Equality and respect for all. That is rubbish and nonsense here. If you are going to be serious with a Thai girl, then you need to think like a Thai girl. Firstly, Thais don't date or marry outside their social class. You, as a westerner, are far above and beyond her social class. A middle class Thai girl does not expect a foreigner to "support me". You are middle class. You are being scammed by the lower class. Her other options are motorcycle taxi drivers and rice farmers. I am single, and I lived here a very long time. No Thai girl, near my age, same social class, has ever asked me for money. Ever. They are proud to support themselves. I have Thai friends that will say, their families will never accept a girl with a baby, or a girl who is poor Isaan farmer into their family. OK, I am not saying I agree. I just want you to understand what is going on here. If you choose to marry the girl that wants you to support her and her family, up to you. Just make sure you decide with all the information. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at her ID card, never take a girl home without viewing her ID card (and taking a photo of it on your phone). Means you can find them later, and nips all sorts of potential problems in the bud.
