I met a reall beauty once and was happy to cover all the cost of our date including taxi fare for her ride home or her next client whichever came first

Show me your friends and I tell you who and what you are.

Lucky for OP this was just a casual friend , though may have been a hint

I don't know what's more astounding: the value some women put on what's between their legs or the sheer stupidity of the men in pursuit and the lengths they'll go to in order to access it exclusively.

I guess some guys are just born to pay

I guess I'm one of those just born-to-pay. Since I've been with the girl -- with my assistance, financial, legal, and otherwise -- she has gone from a net worth of about zero to well in excess of 100 million baht.

Easy Crabster, you're talking bawdy talk now.

No. Purely financial.

Well with all those good reasons her marrage will certainly work out.

Then again when she finds the farang's money tree she can just grab it and run...

If this story is true than I have no doubts this attractive woman will find the mug she is looking for, in fact I guess they will be queueing up in the hope of being her future intended.

I have known and still know many men who like domineering women and becoming the long and suffering, falling under the spells of some desirable female flesh. There is one born every minute and without too much effort she will find them or they will find her.

So true but it's all about education and most guys coming into Thailand wouldn't know any better, they'd be willing to pay for whatever it takes until it goes belly up.

The link below was posted on another thread but I found this in the comments, its a hard blow but it sums things up. http://aeon.co/magazine/living-together/why-young-women-in-rural-china-become-the-mistresses-of-wealthy-older-men/

And as for getting a Vietnamese bride- that's just a tiny proportion of Singaporean men- mostly those uneducated poor ones over 50 years of age who were born and raised when Singapore was still a poor Third World Country. Again no different than the old, poor, uneducated White trash who go to Thailand and the Philippines to marry poverty stricken uneducated women.

Very interesting article. I've always had my suspicions regarding the Chinese elite; this article reinforced it. It seems the Chinese mistresses are more advanced than their Thai sisters, although the Thais may have a leg up (in a manner of speaking) when it comes to fleecing foreigners. But some of the comments reminded me of the Thai farang-hunter MO, e.g., convincingly saying "hansum man," acting jealous to demonstrate caring, having a "real" boyfriend her own age back home, etc. At the end of the day, the game is played the same.
