louse1953 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I don't really get while frugality attracts such a hostile reaction here. I wouldn't want to live like that myself, but I don't have a problem with those who do. Being frugal is ok,but boasting about it and baiting others to better him is not cool.

JD66 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Funny how the op came here with an obnoxious and arrogant post braggging about being a deadbeat and a parasite,( not to mention going behind his girlfriends back and letting everyone here know how he's getting over on her and her family.Which is slimy and low in itself.) Then wound up having to go on the defensive by pleading his ''case''.. The troll went from ''Joe Cool'' to ''Joe Cave in'' within 3 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblecat Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The worst part of the OP's post is how proud he is that he is beating the system and not contributing to the Thai economy. Well, he said he gave around 10% of his income to the Thai economy- so it depends on how much he earns- but more importantly.. when did it become bad to beat the system..? Isn't that a good thing?

As much as I dislike the way the OP was written, I cannot see how he is being parasitic. His girlfriend offered the roof over his head. She wanted him to move in. He offered to pay for electricity, but she did not want it. The money being put up for sinsot is for show and will be returned to the people who put it up (he is not getting any share of it). How is that parasitic? Having said that, I see nothing to boast about so do not understand the purpose of the OP, unless it was to get under the skin of many of the other tv members. Are his circumstances anything to be proud of? No. But they are not anything to be ashamed of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to live like that myself, but I don't have a problem with those who do. I don't thinks it's the frugality rubbing people the wrong way, just the sponging off girlfriend and family. I don't really care what he does. I don't get that either. If a woman lives off a man, he's supporting her - but if a man lives off a woman, he's sponging off her? Just my perspective. I wouldn't expect a girlfriend of mine to quit work when she moved in. I would have her contribute to the household financially. I would consider her a sponge as well., but that's just me.

Different subject but one of interest to me. If you were working or drawing a decent pension and your girlfriend was working 48 hour weeks for 9,000 Baht a month, wouldn't you consider having her quit work? It would take me less than 12 hours to earn what is taking her 192 hours or more a month. Where is your compassion? Not all Thai girlfriends are earning top end salaries. Many work exceedingly hard for a pittance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew65 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I was in that situation many years back Garry. In all honesty it was nice that my girl was working 8 hours a day (as a hotel receptionist). It meant that I had 8 hours a day to do my own thing. I have a Swedish friend who is in exactly the same situation, and he concurs (he also gives his girl 10,000 Baht a month). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
