rethaired Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 After having spent many years together (on and off, as I go back to my home country to work), my GF is asking for a salary, but she tells this is not about business, it is about love! I ask her how much? She tells me bar girls can get about 30,000 B, so maybe my salary should be about the same. Of course, she was shy about talking about this at the beginning, because "it is not polite"! I am supposed to be a gentleman! I also must help her parents! I must also help my parents. Is she helping my parents? Is she going to? Nope! I am confused! Should I run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sadly, this is common, from the boys and the girls. Was she a bar girl? She sure sounds like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Tell her to get a job. Perfect answer. Close topic. When you pay her you aren't a boyfriend, you're a customer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trogers Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 What is the planned long term commitment between both of you? Any plans for marriage a few years into the future? If so, bring her to your country to first learn the language and get to know your family - all at your cost. She may adapt and become enterprising in some small business and rake in some income for the home. If there is no intention for long term commitment, tell her so, and give her a sum so she can survive on her own for 3 months, and set her free to find her destiny.

garro Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Apparently this is so common that some countries have created a special tax-exempt category for it. You should check it out; I think just google "Idiot-tax + exemption". You might qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you are carrying out the suggested tasks above, just remember to take your rosey coloured spectacles off once in a while.... ... You could also cut to the chase right now....buy her the house in her name, the car and give her your ATM card as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yes, it certainly sounds like she should get a job, but its going to have to be a reasonable one to earn 30,000THB per month. You have already received excellent advice here, take yourself down to the Nike shop and buy yourself a good pair of running shoes, then use them!

CTO Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Does she want holiday pay and health benifits too? Funny - my viece is currently working 8 - 10 hours a day - 6 days a week - to pay for school 5 day a week 5 hours. She doesn't sleep much - and wouldn't accept a cushier job because it was against her morals. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She tells me bar girls can get about 30,000 B, You've just gotta love that, not about business. I pay my wife nothing, does that mean that she loves me more or less than your GF loves you?

Gary A Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 No poll needed. Asking for 30,000 per month is quite greedy and not at all realistic. I agree, run as fast as you can and consider yourself lucky.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpolten Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 remember an english guy telling me that his bar girl wanted 20k per month so she wouldn't go back to work and stay home in isaan....think he payed it too......but i don't think she stayed home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekfreaklover Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Depends on who you are. If you are an ugly old man 70+ with low self esteem then 30k sounds about right. If you are below the age of 70 with all your own teeth and some hair then maybe you should look for a girlfriend, not a prostitute.

Maizefarmer Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Well well ... there you go rethaired, pretty conclusive isn't it: time to move on - actually, come to think of it you didn't really need forum members to tell you that, now did you.

britmaveric Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 If she wants 30K a month suggest she find employment in a nice bar where she can make the same amount of dosh as the bar girls she compares herself to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
