You are not very aware of real life situations, are you? You travel to a country far far away, looking for, what you call, a legit woman. Only that description of someone you wish to have as a partner, shows what kind of man you are. Only insecure men feels the need to sort women into different groups and label them.

 

After that, you are calling marriage the long con. Are you so immature, that you can´t read what relationship your are entering and with what kind of woman? Let´s say you find a woman you like from the lower class. The group I think would be suitable for you, as you already with the way of talking lost the connection with any higher group.

In that case you are marrying a poor woman, with usually a poor to medium education level. How do you figure? You are coming to a foreign country looking for love and relationship, and marrying a poor woman with limited education. There are 2 things on the table:
 

• You will be the one that is supporting the family economically for the rest of your life.
• You provide her with a business, job that she wants to do, and she will thereafter be able to make her own money and that way contribute to the costs.

However you look at it, you will have to put in some dough. That is not a con. It´s reality, something you already knew when taking the step to marry.

Let´s say you reach higher and manage to overachieve based on your way of acting, and meet a middle class women. Yeah, then it´s custom to be the gentleman. Actually the higher class woman you find, the more it´s going to cost you. It´s been like this for many, many centuries. Time to grow up and be a man!

Useless post.
 

Cut and paste from your marriage counselors handbook.

 

Quote me where I said I was looking for a legit woman.

You have me mistaken for someone else.

Correct except I'd estimate Thaifriendly is 90% sex workers of course will play the girlfriend card if appropriate.

 

Years ago i tried Thai Cupid, most were looking for relationship, but not a lot of choice

No one knows the percentage of sex workers on any site unless you date all of them, and if they don't lie. There are thousands of women on these sites, and if you choose 10 and 9 are sex workers, that means you chose bad, and has nothing to do with the rest of them. It's all assuming , especially if your choices happen to be a high percentage of actual sex workers. I've dated 3 on TF and none were sex workers, but I still wouldn't assume about the rest.

That's what not what I see, 90% is too high. Though I do ignore girls from Pattaya for this reason, as I don't want to meet a professional sex worker. But even so 90% seems far too high, I think 40% would be more accurate.

 

I tried OK Cupid, but it's the worst dating app of all, I actually deleted it. I know stick with TF and Bumble and it works well. I also write direct on Insta.

A lot of them are prostitutes. They will ask for money and offer to do the deed.

Happens extremely rarely to me, as I weed out potential sex workers. Never write to girls in Pattaya, never write to girls with tatoos. Never write to girls who post pics in extremely expensive hotels or resorts, or with pics in front of the Kremlin or Eiffel tower or in Dubai.

 

This dramatically reduces the number of sex workers you interact with.

 

The worst I had was one girl who said she'll come to CM and  then asked for 10000 baht, as that would be more "comfortable" than getting a ticket. Lol.

 

Actually, I did get one bona fide prostitute once, tell a lie, she did claim she was doing it for her sick father or child or something. 

 

Anyway, it's rare, doesn't happen a lot.

They tell you they weren't sex workers, they pivot very quickly, keep their options open, maybe you dated the elderly ones who are less likely to be sex workers, I'm talking 30yo give or take 10 years

Yeah, because women throw themselves at you right? 

 

I used to have some fun when I lived in Bangkok many years ago, Them days I used thailovelinks, I didnt mind doing a bit of traveling around to different places, I met  few dirty bitches from Maha Sarakham, then I remember a teacher I met up in Loei, Udon Thanni was always good for pussy and some good night life, 

 

21 hours ago, it is what it is said:

Well-off/hi-so/well-educated Thai women are not on dating apps, they operate in their own Thai social circles and are 99% not interested in farangs.

 

not in my experience, i've dated a lawyer, a hospital director, physiotherapist,  marketing exec, designer for a leading japanese vehicle brand, to name but a few. my latest tinder gf had seven successful businesses, nine properties, and (i don't know why) 4 cars. 

 

Are you competing for the biggest bs artist of all time on AN?

 

There may be a grain of truth to that if you yourself are a very rich businessman in Thailand. But even then, the odds of having a string of highly successful girlfriends in Thailand is rare. And why would you be breaking up with all these successful women? Or are they dumping you? 

 

The fact is most women on these dating apps need some sort of financial support. And if you are a normal dude and actively seeking a hi-so Thai woman on these dating apps or anywhere, good luck because you're gonna need it. You might wait around forever. You're giving people false hopes with your nonsense posts. 

 

At least some of them will be open and up front about it from the start about how much support they expect, which I respect. Relationships are highly transactional and it's best to negotiate the terms from the start to avoid disappointment.

Anyone here gone down the dating route using these apps that were not prostitutes and you had some success?

 

You can usually tell by the photos if it's a working girl. 

Or by the profile. If they write nothing, good chance it's a working girl.

If you're not sure, just ask what are you looking for and they will reply customer.

Yes, you are more likely to find those on Soi 6, Pattaya.

Yes plenty of success. There's about 40% sex workers on TF but it's not the same on all apps. 

 

The ladyboy scourge is a real problem though, as they fraudulently label themselves as women and edit the photos. 

Never seen that happen, and I've been using the site regularly for years (I live here). LB's have their own dedicated section (as do gays). Anyone who's lived here long enough could spot an LB a mile away. Even with a doctored photo. If in doubt, just ask them. If done politely, you'll get an honest answer. As for TF & sex workers. Probably higher than 40% IMO.

Yeah, you're wise beyond your years young man. 

 

I literally had a woman a while back excitedly ask "So will you pay off all my debts?"

And she didn't flinch spending my money in the most expensive seafood restaurant in town. 

And that's when I started waking up at night in a cold sweat. 

 

And in fact, if you look at the profiles, I've seen a profile where she wrote "I have debts behind me". 

Sometimes, they tell you straight up. But always best to ask.

They were 30-40. The elderly ones could have been sex workers but the percentage of sex workers in Thailand out of the female population is still  low. Any guesses on the amount of sex workers in any site or country is still a guess.

On the dating site I used anyway, you had to put your location. 

90% of girls in Pattaya are working girls. If their profile says Pattaya, 90% chance it's a working girl.

Bangkok ... maybe 5% ?? 

Other parts of Thailand ... 1%? Almost certainly not.

It was after a few mentioned to me they had a debt, none of them were small ones if true, then I thought I would have a laugh to my self and start asking them yep sure enough they would tell you, my weird sense of humour, How many Rai of land do you have? How many Buffalos, they didnt like that it was seen as a insult, them Buffalos dont come cheap,

Lol, and of course trans religiously keep to their own section....NOT...they shamelessly label themselves as "female". 

 

Of course you can spot a katoey when you see them in real life, if you only see a heavily edited photo, you can't always. Why would you ask them if you think it was a woman? I'm not going to ask every woman if she's a trans, that's insane.

 

As for sex workers, I actually encounter them less than 40%, only looking at the profiles would one say maybe 40% sex workers as it's clear on some of them when they wear nurses uniform or are playing pool in a bar, or put ST in their profile, or "I don't fly below 3000 metres" or other code for sex worker. There are girls who do not advertise it and who then turn out to be sexworkers, it's true, but it's rare, it's not more than 40%.

Yes, the experience some have might surely be dating women in tourist areas, where the percentage of hookers is higher anyway.

At least they have a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

My heart bleeds having to exclude all the girls from Pattaya. Not just because there are so many of them, but because some of them are exceptionally hot .And they may not be whores, they may work in a restaurant. 

 

However, there are so many sex workers from Pattaya, so many girls with tattoos, it's just safer to exclude all girls from Pattaya if you don't want to meet sex workers. That's what I do, even though I know I lose some good prospects. But there's plenty of non-professional girls in other parts of Thailand.

 

Of course I also exclude girls from Ko Samui, Patong and so on, not just because of the sex workers there, but because girls that like islands are unlikely to want to come to the mountains.

 

My ICP is a girl 18 to 25 from one of the rural areas that you never heard of. They jump at the chance.

A girl near here, 23, makes +/-300,000 a month. Mainly does 3-4 short times each afternoon and evening from guys online at 3,000 a go. Does the odd overnight with guys that fly in to Thailand for 2 weeks or so at 10k a night or 100k per week. Puts most into property and will be a retired USD millionaire by 30. 

I wasn't speaking about a prostitute.

The girl has a regular job, worked her way up the career ladder and is now regional exec for a company we all know.

Her US bf is a loser, as @ThreeCardMonte correctly figured out.  I will tell her to PM @ThreeCardMonte so she can meet a real genius.

Wrong, another farang who has no idea. 

Pattaya has long become a regular tourist destination for day trippers from Bangkok.  Office girls go there with their friends,  to take bikini pictures (the bikini is bought only for this purpose,  they don't go into the water), visit Terminal and take selfies in front of the Pattaya sign.

The first time they go, they must get used to the masses of Indians, to the voluminous farang (you don't see these types if you work in an office in Bangkok) and to the fact that Pattaya prostitutes do not like them.

Especially if you look at the app TF.
