What does "I want someone to take care of me" mean?

[hellohello123]

I see so many profiles that have "I want someone to take care of me", and people who say this in person too,

what exactly does it mean? as ive heard so many different variations.

is it "I want some rich guy to pay for everything so I can not work and sit on my butt and buy my family stuff"

or

"Im just looking for a caring partner"

or

"im writing this because every one else is writing it, and I have no idea what it means"

[Seastallion]

All the variations you've mentioned, as well as "I want a bread winner and I will be a good home-maker"

It depends on the person. There is no one single interpretation.

[Soutpeel]

I would say in almost all cases the intention of the phase implies the first one you list

[Ulysses G.]

If a woman says it, it usually means "I want some rich guy to pay for everything so I can not work and sit on my butt and buy my family stuff". If a foreign man says it, it usually means, "I want some poor girl to work like a slave for rice and water, let me screw around on the side and renounce her family completely."

Perhaps you should be asking those that post they want to be taken care of.

[Somtamnication]

It means that you must be a buffalo farmer. You will feed them, bathe them, and pay for their lottery tickets. And as we all know about buffaloes, when you are in need, they don't understand English!

It means tha in a country where there is no social security net, no pension, and little money they want a stable future with enough disposable income for the kids. No different from anywhere in the world really.

Ask them, heart, brain or wallet? Or all 3.

What does "I want someone to take care of me" mean?

To provide emotional stability, especially in form of a relationship where the role of each partner are not equal. It can also imply being financially provided for, but does not necessarily so.

It's code for seeking Sugar Daddy.

im pretty sure it means im going to sit on my arse and file my nails while watching thai soaps and talking on my phone during advert breaks ,while you spend all your hard earned money on me and my extended family and you s[t there pretending you are happy wondering how you got in this mess

[kannot]

And it works both ways...... my Wife takes care of me financially.

Also you have the old guys who in their 70's+ want a woman just to "be there" and take care of them until they die with the financial side taken care of by the old man.

[Costas2008]

Op, that's exactly what my ex wife used to tell me when we were courting.

I want you to take care of me.

After taking care of her for 25 years, she left me for someone else, leaving me with nothing.

So, I came to Thailand and met a girl, that said to me, let's get together and take care of each other.

I grabbed the opportunity and I am happy ever after.

Saying that, nobody knows what the future can bring.

Maybe for those who dont have the insight to chose carefully.

[Scottythai]

Troll post. lolz Drop a bomb like this then sit back and watch people go at each other. I wish for the most part there was a 100+ post count minimum before you can make threads. These are getting tired. I want some one to take care of me = exactly what it sounds like.....

[Evilbaz]

"Old blokes in their 70s" deserve a bit of "loving " too - as well as special needs.

We are still "prospects" because (on average) we are closer to death 555!

But - "You never know - up to Buddha" ...

I was asking myself almost the same questions in the post here "The Meaning Of Life On TLL".

Tried to make fun, but my sense of humour is not appreciated by some.

Could it be that too many TV members take it seriously?

[eldragon]

Depends on what kind of girl you're dealing with.

[LaraC]

ask her

[Jingthing]

ask her

Direct questions. Edgy!

I wish you buggers would learn to use Google translate...

Why guys make everything so hard. Thai girl say to farang it means lets share YOUR money.

If a girl want love she use word LOVE when it comes to farangs. Thai girls can seperate take care and love why cant the guys do same same.

Just like girls know difference between customer and LOVER while man cannot!

-------------------------------

A pretty good summary of the meanings. It can mean any of the above. You have sift and sort every request.

As in my case "taking care of someone else" isn't so bad if there is satisfying reciprocity.

[MobileContent]

Its not only in the farang slang. I have heard all the time with Thais that do not have any relation with a farang.

[up-country_sinclair]

Couldn't of put it better myself!

[pmhmaster]

IMO:

During promotion period she would offer cutting your nails and really do it then 2-3 times. Thats how she takes care.

And he is expected to take care by holding up and conribute to a face saving image, that includes $$,$$$/month. Until forever.

Ive taken CARE of 3 wives,who are all very wealthy women now. To many girlfriends to count. Its same same as owning a big yacht, its a hole in the water you pour money into.
