Sounds like a good arrangement.

Does she have a sister? 

 

Ideally, does she have twin sisters? Then they can pay alternately and you get to keep all your hard earned cash.

I'm not going to keep prodding you to try to find holes in your theory.

I haven't met too many girls like that. I really haven't. 

 

 

 

It's not a theory. If you choose to propagate that kind of relationship, then those kinds of relationships are what one will tend to have. Whereas once you start paying, you have established that pattern, which is difficult to escape. I saw friends going down that road as a teenager and decided that I didn't want to follow. 

Sensible people choose friends and partners for life. A flash in the pan is just that.

Being overweight and in my 50s all that I could get was overweight women in their 50s.

Yep, because normal women do actually have preferences and make choices out of their own value. What you are doing now, is paying for sex, as you could have done in your home country as well. That´s the sign of a loser.

That's because I'm a man, Jake. Nobody likes men, really.

 

I know you're saying the girls like you so much, that's quite a fantasy world you've built for yourself there. If she really liked you, Jake, you wouldn't be living apart, she'd make sure she's living with you. I suspect, you're her side-chick, and just good enough to pay for her meals out now and then.

 

 

I'm not pretending, it IS the norm. Ever since a stone age genius figured out that there was no need to fight the Alpha male, that women would open their legs for a good shrub of berries, if delivered in a timely fashion every Friday, men have adopted this strategy, and so have women. Resources for sexual access is THE norm, my dude. 

 

Your fantasy world notwithstanding.

 

 

Yes, she cares about you so much, she doesn't want to live with you.

 

 

No, that's never happened, women wouldn't dream of doing that clearly.

 

 

No one likes you, is what you mean. My male friends see me like a brother. We play music together. Fight against others together.  We support each other.

Females, the same. Of course a different kind of relationship, but based on the same fundamentals. Trust. Respect etc

 

I quite like having my own space. We can invite each other over, cook for each other, entertain each other, as normal. Can choose to stay or to go. What's to not like about that?

She works. I can stay up late. Good to have separate accommodation.

 

A nice balanced relationship. Whereas you have five women all asking you for money. Of course you think it's the norm. It's YOUR norm.

But that drives up the cost.

How much would you save on rent if you lived together?

Then, with the amount you saved, you could pay for every meal (joke).

 

And again, don't think there's too many Thai women who are into arrangements like that. Seems odd.

It's not about money. It's about health and happiness. Being forced to be together 24/7 might work or it might not.

If there wasn't enough money to sustain both, then we could adapt to one dwelling. But that is not the case currently. It's nice for me to sit here, having a chat with other strange males about life when I feel like it.

If girlfriend was here all the time, then I would feel obliged to entertain her. A relationship doesn't have to mean being with each other every second of the day. The point is stability and longevity. This way keeps it fresh. He enjoying my space and me enjoying hers. Like having regular dates.

Has Thailand changed much for you in 20 years?

Yes, and mainly for the better. Where to start; infrastructure, communications, transport, banking, shops, restaurants & amenities, all much improved. The only downside is Hat Yai is significantly bigger and traffic can be a pain. My opinion would likely be different if I lived in a major tourist hot spot. Hat Yai does get far more Malaysians, Singaporeans and Indonesians than it used to, but they blend in both visually and culturally so you don't notice so much.

Not a Thai woman. But Thai women also love and don't expect money for it. Through my own experience.

It all depends on your own perspective and what you will accept.

I'm perhaps too insecure to put myself in a situation where I'm not sure if someone likes me or not. So perhaps this is a subconscious way of being sure. With that comes a relaxed confidence. As it should be with any partner. You can focus on building things together when you have stability. I don't need to check anyone's phone nor to concern myself with what they are doing. As they are devoted to me and family. That's normal.

If you tie your wagon to anything less than such, then whose fault is that?

Of course, of course, for millions of years men have provided for women, but not JakeC, the guy on the internet. No. he's smarter than all of us and all our ancestors, and of course more likeable. Which is why he doesn't pay for his women, no it's a strict partnership of alternate paying of meals

 

What are millions of years of providing for women, next to your experience as the world's most likeable inventor of special partnerships, Jake?

 

That's genius. Just be likeable. Why didn't anyone think of that before, men could have saved a fortune.

I wanted to go skiing and they thought water skiing. Wrong, my bad.

Simp 

I would not call out anyone a simp who I did not personally know. 

 

Could be a huge mistake, but we do know who do call out anyone and everyone on anonymous forums. Useally weak personalities trying to act differently than their real self

I can't handle the thai culture at all. Nonsense for me. Thai women must take care the whole family while the thai man doesn't care about anything and spend his little money for stupid things. Plus i don't like thai people mentality, they are too bipolar. I am happy to stay in thailand but as a single and alone

Farang bf take care family lol

 

I'm just glad all this resources for sexual access from women is a thing of the past now. Since Jake has enlightened all of us, I will tell my 5 girls now no more cash, just my likeable self. I will say Good morning every day, and be so likeable, it'll be better than 8000 baht a month for sure.

 

This will be so much cheaper.

 

Thanks Jake.

You might remind yourself sometimes as well 🤗

We all have to start somewhere. Build your confidence by saying no. Superficial living will come back to bite you on the butt eventually.

Create real and sustainable relationships that aren't based on money...if you can.

You don't want to end up here ranting and hating everything like some, because they are inherently unhappy. When you have someone willingly by your side, it adds an extra dimension to your life, giving both of you healthy points of reference.

That way, you don't need to go to YouTube for psychological help. You understand everything is okay just though acceptance of each other as people.

You always answer in the same way...your words betray you. If that is your normal, then...

Sometimes you need to be honest with yourself.

I take the conversation seriously, but don't go overboard. It's a Internet forum, so posts seem very black and white. No need to respond emotionally, but counter with facts and experience, not threats.

It is more about how you receive the message and makes it personal even it is not about you. Somehow you feel and see everyone through your eyes and Emotions as your experience only.

Could be a huge mistake, for instance. Can you clarify why it could be a huge mistake?

 

Then you wrote:

Do we? Please elaborate.

This seems as if you are annoyed and trying to get back at someone. 

 

You often write about spineless individuals and weak blah blah... These are not friendly terms. It's a display of annoyance.

 

But of course it's just me and you are full of the joys of life after reading @MalcolmB's comment...

 

The whole point is that people can speak freely and give their opinions freely. If you cannot hack it without throwing back unrelated insults, you need to ask yourself why.

 

Personally I try to counter any argument with facts and experience, rather than trying to act the big man.
