(positive answer pls!) no idea it's too long and i can't remember why i liked thai girls (very much) when i was a bachelor. after getting married 27 years ago i was told by my wife that my preference for ANY girls besides her would not be tolerated and i always wondered from which holy book she derived the right for her demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizefarmer Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ì hope, you don't think, I am a ladykiller: Girlfriend # 1: We quarreled about money. I couldn't stand it anymore and left the room. After I came back to my apartment, she was gone. She took all her things, including toothbrush etc. so I knew, she'd never come back. End of relationship. Girlfriend # 2: We stayed in Lamai, Koh Samui. She looked for work, could get a job in Chaweng (about 3 km away from Lamai). She moved to Chaweng, we talked every day on the phone. She was very busy, hadn't time for me - she said. When I insisted on a meeting (just 3 km!) she hang up the phone. Didn't call, turned off the phone and finally got a new cell phone number. End of relationship. Girlfriend # 3: We agreed, that I pay the rent for her until I come back to BKK. It is not her apartment, it's ours we said. OK, everybody knows: For every money transfer, the bank keeps some money. What did I do? Two months ago I paid the rent for two months in advance. Last time I talked to her on the phone, she asked me, whether I sent money to her account or not. No, I didn't, because I sent already a lot of money last month. Since then: silent modus, means: she doesn't call me, if I call her, she doesn't pick up. I called a friend of ours. The friend told me, my girlfriend is "angry" because I didn't send money this month. As far as I know Thai girls: Could be the end of relationship. Now my question: Do Thai girls just walk out, because they don't have the balls to tell you, that they break up? Any experiences? Have you ever gone out with a low paid girl in the West - were you made to feel you had an obligation to provide the roof over her head and send her a regular income. I suspect not. Any Thai girl, hooker or not, who was serious about a relationship would want to discuss a relationship if it was falling part and they cared about it (just like any Western girl would want to - hooker or not). I suspect the key in 3 cases (although you only mention it in respect of 2 of the relationships - I suspect it applied to the 3rd as well) was that the subject of "money" was disspropotionly high on the agenda of important issues. Why - go back to paragraph 1. Therein lies the problem...I suggest they didnt care much in the first place. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfarang Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The problem lies in the girls you associate your self with. You need to choose better women. Maybe this is something that I dont experience becuase I am much younger then most of you and pretty much get my pick of the litter anywhere I go. Tis nice being a young and hansum man!

COBBER Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Money may not be the main issue here. Thais generally are unwilling to discuss or resolve issues as you would try to do in a Western relationship, particularly if the relationship is fairly new. Instead they keep the issues to themselves untill it just becomes too much, which may explain the sudden and unexplained departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajah, I have a story, but I really have no desire to go into it at the moment. I'm in a good mood today. I will say this though. +When we finished a few years back, it was a case of walk away and never look back. As far as I can understand, it was better for her this way. No need to talk or explain. Just move on. Broke my heart, but there you go. What can you do. And it is a valid point. Why bothertalking about something that's over? It's a logic I had never thought about before... what with mywestern upbringing, everything had to be explained and explained again and flipped over and analyzed... no wonder we are all mad. No explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamman Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) Rajah, are these bar girls? Everyone seems to be assuming this. ........................ Constantly hanging around bg's can drive you crazy. I like these girls, but most of them have some sort of psychological disorder that is going to effect the lives of people who are close to them. Ive had the odd fight/argument with my gf but after a bit of silent treatment we alaways talk about it, work it out and move on stronger than before. I would say this young girl is more mature and reasonable than any farang gf I've had. i think thats a bit of a broad brush isn't it?? might as well say that all farangs that are here are sex tourists as well women can't drive blah blah blah perhaps the ones that you hang around with have problems but to say that most do is way over the top Personality disorders are hard to pick at first. Those with them aren't raving lunatics. It can be subtle in the beginning, but eventually very destructive. Of course it doesn't effect all bg's, but the chances are higher than in the general population. Sorry fellas, it's true. Check out Borderline Personality Disorder Newscientist.com did an article a few weeks ago that mentioned that early traumas often cause long lasting neurological deveolpmental damage. The wires stop lining up. It is irreversable. There is a higher than average level of incest and abuse in Thailand. There is a higher than average level of personality disordrers in Thailand. Personality disorders are developmental delays - not all the household wiring was contracted. Thailand has cultural issues that can be looked at in terms of developmental psychology. And what we take for granted from a literate person is well beyond the capacity of an illiterate person. Each idea attaches to a neuron and becomes a new tool for our brain. We live in different cognitive worlds. Of course the illeterate can have their own toolbox. Thankfully we have mutual ways to commune.

She didn't disappear then, and she's still around. Well, 5 years in Thailand, 2 gf, and ... mmmm ... noone of them was there for my money (at one point I simply do not have any money and the gf had to provide the living for 2 month). Honesty is the key I think. In my case I decided to try a new professional approach (let say I went free lance, so I had to get clients and it took 2 month to get my first money by that way). Before to do that we had a conversation, and the nshe had to make a difficult choice ... She was young, half my age, and I believe the easiest (maybe the best too) would have been to choose to be sefish and say goodbye. She choosed to stay on my side, and she did so untill my business was running well. At that time she asked for her freedom, based on relationship problems not related to money. So, all depend how you treat the girl, and what you are looking for. In that case money was a small player, what took us appart was simply to have me caught in act with a third person . On the other hand, if I did not told her what will be my financial future, she would have simply walk away og me and not help.... not because she was a money digger (even if young she is producer in media of media and earn nearly an expat salary), but simply because I wouldnot havetrust in her enought to share my problems or to share my future with her. In thai culture it mean she would have been simply a mia noi, a gf, a sex toy. Be honest , speak to your lady, even bar girl. Opening your heart mean you have true feelings, and every thai will respect that, even bar girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
