You appear to have issues far beyond the scope of a chat in this forum. No evidence?! A 12 year old is PICTURED in the bar in plain sight and you try to shoot the messenger? Sick and you are totally disrespectful to your sister and nephew. 
Are you blind..?

 

 

Can you see it now? What evidence do you need?

 

 

This thread is about Gambia, not Thailand.  There are already a number of exploitative threads about the situation in Thailand and the Al Jazeera video in particular.

Happens to men all the time. But only matters when it happens to a wymmyn.

 

Worse even, when it happens to a man he will nonetheless get called a predator.

Reported post and response to it removed.

 

Contravenes Community Standards.

Gambia may be a sad story of those women actually looking for long term partners, not sex.

 

For women in that age bracket, I don’t think the sex drive is strong enough to fly all the way over there and go through the trouble.

But why would he be referring to, or even reference Gambian women when it's Gambian males selling themselves?

Ask him.

This isn’t one of them. I posted the link because the documentary was mentioned. Unfortunately Goat took it upon himself to use it to Troll others.

It’s the attention. Same with the gullible men who really believed the ‘handsome man’ calls and that Thai women looked after their men better, because they mopped their sweating brows sat at the bar. 
They go from invisible to the ‘centre of someone desirable’s attention’.

Yep. Or it’s stroking the ego. Making people think they are great, special, etc.

So many fall for it. 

They need to look in the mirror before buying houses, supporting families etc.

A lot of the expats here originally came over for reasons other then vacation. Often it was a divorce, job loss, midlife crisis or something.

 

In other words, there was an empty hole there. Now coming to Thailand you immediately get the ego built up by smiles and praise to fill that lack. If one can’t heal and adjust one ends up paying for that attention to keep it going. That also leads to the drinking issue, another way of escaping.

How about your reasons?
