Popular Post WhamBam Posted November 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2014 Now I am no longer in Thailand full time like I used to be it gets more difficult to connect with women unless you are into the bar scene and maybe willing to pay the fines. Many average non-bar women are reluctant to stay with you on a regular basis knowing you will be gone again in a few weeks or maybe a few months. The internet dating scene can be a bit of a nightmare and very hit and miss. I have found I have much more fun and success by keeping old phone numbers of ladies I have met in the past. Some of these numbers date back 5 years or so. After coming back and being in touch with some more local females asking extortionate prices I decided to start phoning and sending sms to my older contacts to see who might respond. The results were mixed but I have one from BKK who came down to see me on Loy Krathong and another from further north who has seen me. Both want to see me again too and are quite happy to travel down to see me as long as I pay their fares and I am willing to see them on their days off work. That is convenient for me too. It means I can have my free time. Some say you should never keep old flames numbers but from my point of view it is working out quite well. Do you keep numbers of the women you have met and ended relationships with or are you of the mind to ditch them 100%? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Costas2008 Posted November 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) OP, used to have all the telephone numbers and names in a little black book. Unfortunately the wife, discovered it one day and started ringing them to find out who they are. When I came back home, I found my suitcase next to the front gate and a note, You go back to them and never come back to me. It took me ages to convince her they were business associates.....don't think she believed me........but after promising a gold necklace ......she backed up. Still haven't bought it.........and she's still asking for it. Edited November 10, 2014 by Costas2008 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Back when I was last on the market the girls didn't have phones, I mean, there was no such thing as a mobile and as far as land lines go, most of us have moved to the new technology and don't even have land lines. So, no, I don't have any numbers from x girlfriends. I do know a few of my x-GF's went and got themselves old and died, but then again I was always chasin the boilers. In the old days when aa a young man courting, one was forced to front up and face the father of the girl, there was none of this dial a puccie stuff going on. 55555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NanLaew Posted November 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey, whatever gets the OP's legover is alright by me. Beggars can't be choosers when slipping into our dotage eh? The problem is I have sooooooo many old 'girlfriends' phone numbers, I would be hard pressed to remember which one was the bi-sexual nympho (and her twin sister) and which one was their mother. It would be like Russian roulette and I would probably get the bloody bunny boiler instead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldragon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Absolutely. Nothing is ever over here. I find Thai girls to be very forgiving. If they're not busy with someone else, they usually come back around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maswov Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I don't think this is unique to Thailand. If the relationship ends on a good note, there is no reason to not keep in touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman24 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 funny, mine is a "black book" i did ring some of me "exs" just to see how they were getting on (curiosity realy) one is now a hairdresser, ( i think when they get older, they all aspire to being a h/dresser) one is in New Zealand, and one is about to go to Singapore (better money- no cheap charlies) just as long as they are ok, it was just nice to say "hello" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I shake my head. I did not mention paying or as an ex customer at all. You saw it that way, I did not write it that way. I said I do not like the bar scene and bar fines. I also object to paying what some of these women suggested - as I have said in another topic. What I did say was "are quite happy to travel down to see me as long as I pay their fares and I am willing to see them on their days off work. That is convenient for me too. It means I can have my free time." Where does that equate to paying for it?? And who said I paid for it before? You really need to read what is written and not what you think is written. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Charlie's does not even come close to doing it justice. It is one of the worst experiences a women in that line of work can ever have. Parts of Singapore make Pattaya look like a luxury resort.

And where did I say I was paying for everything? Paying the bus fare is paying for everything? Some of you do need to learn to read. Both these women work in good jobs but do not have money to squander on fares and I find that is fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the hell did you missus get a B100.00 Loy Krathong boat out of you. It appears you're a typical Greek, suave and full of BS. Keep the funny stories coming, everyone needs a good laugh.
