Anyone who writes that giving away 10% of his wealth is a reasonable compromise for getting a little bit of regular camel toe is a complete fool. Because once you give her 10%, she doesn’t suddenly think, “Well, that’s enough then.” She knows there’s another 20% sitting there. Maybe 30%. And she’ll eventually want to know why she’s not getting her share of that too. They’re very good at smelling weakness. That doesn’t mean every dude who comes to Thailand falls into the trap. Plenty of men do perfectly well with women without giving up a pound of flesh, and without turning their entire financial situation into a relationship negotiation. There’s an old and still accurate saying: treat them mean, keep them keen. Maybe it’s an old saying because it works.
