Must be like investing in a wet bag of cement to hang around your neck. IMO any farang that gives over a huge dowry ( that they don't get back ) deserves what they get. As for buying houses and cars 555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times their foreign husband / boyfriend has no idea they are turning tricks while they are at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play lonely and play inexperienced, but tell them you are rich. Have some fun, then fade away. The reverse scam. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying in your case, but they like to "shame" guys into buying similar gifts / assets because their friends and family members are getting things bought for them, and guys actual overextend themselves financially to compete. Crazy. Edited April 11, 2021 by Leaver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. I've never competed for a woman in my life. I always said let the other guy have his go first, then I'll take the next turn. Usually, my lack of interest got me first go.

Well here is the thing, if you are a 40-50 year old guy who has little in the way of savings, spends his spare cash on visiting Thailand, you require a completely differing strategy. I was that guy and ran the programme accordingly. The main theme being convincing my now wife we would plan and create a future together When my mother law donated the land and we filled it with soil ready to build, I told my wife I wanted to wait 5 years for the land to settle, while making the point that a big house is dead money, and just something to clean every day.......but all the while my wife lived with her mother with our son, we steadily improved the mothers accommodation, always improving a little, in those days a new fridge was good enough to let the neighbours know that there was 'added value' from the farang Helps too if you are a sociable person and treat the neighbours with respect what they think does affect your situation like it or not, a happy cheerful smiling farang is much prefered to a whining miserable git!!! But I speak from an Isaan farm where a 'contribution' of 10k saw the dirt track turned into a concrete road, more options to quietly impress here than city life I drive in the UK never in Thailand ???? we have 4 Honda motorcycles for local travel, should we need to go further or need a truck we can hire a truck and driver 500 baht a day, local village people putting money into the community. Long trips flying is cheap. When I was asked if we would buy a truck, my answer, not until my wife and daughter learn to drive, they recently have licences, as my daughter just became old enough to drive, and maybe soon we will buy a run around, not a truck, maybe a second hand Mazda 2, Yaris, Suzuki swift, something my daughter can take on the longer journey to college rather than a motorcycle. 15 years together with my very special wife, and I have finally arrived in Thailand, most of the spending is done over those years, modest home, bit of land, a few cattle, sure more spending to come, but then we will limit it as always to what we require, and what we can afford. Life is good, just lucky I guess ???? Edited April 15, 2021 by 473geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually let them take other farang's money first and set themselves up with a condo, a bar, and a car, then I stay at their place, drink for free, and get chauffeured around, all the time promising a second condo, bar and car. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a strategy, just seem to stumble across it quite often, pre covid, and enjoy it at the time. They're not all "fresh off the farm."

For some reason I've always been attracted to women that turned out to be not worth it ( but only after getting as much as they can out of me ), which is why I no longer even try.
