TGs, money and status

GD: I have walked the exact same path as you...Didn't work for me either

 

I think the Bali time was "true", I too had one year of "magical moment" and this wasn't a comedy on her part...

(After I had to leave it is another story...)

 

The sad truth is, no matter what you do it sometimes can't work, of course "buying" her a new lifestyle (if you can afford it) will buy her "loyalty" but this is not love anymore...just a mia noi relation.

 

my current missus wouldn't have been interested in me if I had been poor but she is neither considering me as a walking ATM (nor does her family).

 

Materialism? Come have a look in EU and you will find out that women here are only looking for financial security...

 

I feel for you GD but you have to wake up, don't turn too cynical it will not bring you happiness but keep your eyes open and if your heart needs someone -> then go find this someone away from the nightlife....

 

 

PS: GD, cheer up mate and if you really are desperate then my missus and I would accept to introduce you (in June) to some of her friends/collegues who are looking for a foreign boyfriend/husband...

(they would like someone like me but I haven't found the courage to tell missus friends that I am a scumbag so most other men would do better than me)

Thanks Drogon, but as I said in my OP I am not interested in anyone from Thailand right now. I just see the GTGs as mall rats in places like Siam Paragon, Emporium etc. I agree that they are far from alone - we need to ditch Posh and Becks and the BS that goes with that fantasy for something a little more in line with reality.

Well said, a succinct and pertinent observation.

 

Another basic fact is, regardless where a women originates from, (unless it is a first love or a young love - dare I say it, even with a good girl), long distance relationships are very tricky and difficult things to maintain and invigorate.

 

If you cannot decide on the girl, and make a real commitment (not a string along until you decide if she is the love of your life), your better of having loved, remember the good times and move onto another - after all, life is a fishbowl in itself.

So, how many women have you "dated" that your earnings are say 10 times greater? You complain about the fixstation on money, but most of your posts are about money. Who is fixstated on money?

 

I reject the accusation that most of my posts are about money - its a common subject on the board, and definitely a hot topic right now - go back through the posts from the last 6 years and tell me how many were primarily about money. I dont recall ever asking where I can get sex as cheaply as possible, but I have been periodically interested in things like the cost of living in the LOS and the state of the world economy.

 

From your location info, you live in Thailand, presumably earning a reasonable number of baht each month. You probably dont know what it feels like to have your buying power reduced by almost a third virtually overnight - I can assure you that its no party, but I suspect that the baht will come under some pressure of its own soon enough.

 

End of the day, I worked for every satang that went into someone else's pocket during my 13 days in Thailand - I believe that gives me the right to a little 'fixstation'. I accept that I would have been better off spending it in another country, and thats advice that I plan to take on my next trip OS.

Thaihome, the last time I checked there was nothing in the board rules about answering any bloody questions you choose to put to another board member.

 

How many times have I dated someone who earns 1/10th of my salary is about as relevant as asking me how many times I have had dinner with a millionaire : the latter would not feel compelled to hand me a few hundred dollars simply because I couldnt match his/her bank balance.

 

Its all a moot point, as it will be a long time before I return to Thailand - I suspect that is the only answer you really need. If you want to defend the Thai people and their non-avaricious good nature, fill your boots.

As regards to bar girls i would definatly say that its a no-win situation.

Even if u do find a genuine bargirl and take them back to your country they will end up messing everything up for you.

 

I have seen it many times in the uk now, my dads been married for over 15yrs now and all the women that come to see my step mum who are married to falang they met in bars are like freekin helicopters. they cuss there husbands behind there backs, there in casinos all the time and most are idle slags.

 

But apart from bargirls there are plenty of decent thai women in los, and yes some are looking for a rich husband but love also has to be a part of that. And when i say rich, that applies to 99% of us because are salaries are way above theres. like drogon and many others here, we have all found ourselves a genuine thai girl who wants nothing but love and respect and for the majority of falang our nature is to do just that.

 

i agree with most people here that its unwise to look for love in bars, its just not happening. sometimes it does but those are few & far between. but hey shit happens, i do know friends that met there gal in a bar and have been happy but i say that only happened because it was the girls first day working as a bargirl, if u can find one of those then good luck.

 

usually one finds love in los when one is not looking for it, all the best and dont get to down hearted gobbledonk, 2009 looks like it will turn into a good year.....

my buddy has just taken arrival of his 2nd thai gal in the UK ,north wales and they are planning the wedding. His 1st to petch was a disaster she was a scheming bitch from Udon Thani who used him to get out then hop on to another bloke ,it was her 5th hubby !He made strenuous efforts to find a GTG ,who has a large house in BKK and never worked the game. strangely his new wifey has never been married and has no kids. She worked the property business and seems to have done ok despite no thai hubby along the way.he always used an agency but not an online agency.his

new wife he has known 5 years and thinks there is no skellys in the cupboard .i spoke to her on the phone and she seems sweet and innocent ! at 47 years old ! i am a bit worried about she said its very quiet where they live (after 1 week)so after BKK she might find it boring long term .
