in this particular topic or ?

thanks for the info

I got about 9k on stars / neteller I'd swap for baht if someone is keen.

just need a couple 100's

you are in bangkok ?

Is this a level? Are you making a joke as if you're like this, but the people who know you here know you're not like this, so it's sort of funny?

Why would you write these words?

My dick has his own mind and turned off at her comment tho

the topic of help:

ive been mostly sticking to professional working class girls here in bkk. but something that is creeping up is with the girls that i am seeing more frequently they have been bringing up the topic of 'help' , meeting family, being official boyfriend, and helping with some expenses outside of the normal paying for food, travel, gifts.

at first i believed this was always a scam like the typical sob stories about sick waterbuffalo, family member etc. but talking more with some of these girls they make it seem like it is more customary when official boyfriends and still pre marriage to assume some finanancial responsibility. out of curiousity it took a lot of prodding to get the one girl to give me and actual figure as she did not want to say, but the amount of assistance she was looking for was so insignificant to me i was actually considering it. again these are normal girls with normal professional office jobs or similar.

there are some girls i am seeing who have not asked me for any assistance but i dont know if its just because we havnt reached that point yet or they are better off economically or what. i have noticed that the girls that have brought it up are definetly from poorer economic backgrounds even though they are from bkk and not some village outside.

getting scammed?

Lol yes

Middle class girls with a degree and job wouldn't tend to ask. They were taking care of themselves and parents before they met you and are quite proud.

Low class ones will, I wouldn't say it's always a scam though, just like a golddigger girl in the West. And there's a difference between one that asks for the latest iphone and one that just wants to send her parents $100 a month. Here kids send money home to their parents, like the West used to be before state benefits.

You do hear of guys paying an allowance but like in the West that's when the girl isn't working in order to spend more time with you, a live-in girlfriend /wife looking after your kids or soon to be.

The cliche scams are large sums like buying a house in her name or sending large amounts when you're not even in the country, like keeping a hooker on a retainer

the only reason i even contemplated giving this a 2nd thought was because last night i went on a first date with a new girl who i will call accountant. the 'help' girl i will call magicsnatch.

when out with accountant we were talking about past tinder dates and i brought up how i had met some girls that were obv freelancers/hookers claiming to be normal girls and how magicsnatch had asked me to help out by basically contributing to family/housing expense if we were to be serious. i told accountant how i believed that to be a scam or some long con and accountant basically told me that it was not out of the ordinary for a girl in a serious relationship with a gentleman to expect him to help out with her expenses prior to marriage, not fully maintain but provide some assistance to raise quality of life or alleviate financial pressure. and thats what got me thinking that magicsnatch isnt just trying to play a long con.

background on magicsnatch is she is a solid high 8 low 9, everywhere we go dudes just stop and stare at her just walking down the street, at 7/11 entering every restaurant all dudes will just stop what they are doing and stare, and the girls always giving nasty looks, she has a magicsnatch, most amazing thing ive ever encountered, and she is bat**** crazy. straight out of the looney bin. she will bang my brain out for 2 or 3 days then go home and not even 5 hours laters telling me she needs to finish with me because she is too old to 'just have fun' (shes a year older then e at 36 and has 12 year old duaghter, husband died accident when she was 3 months pregnant) then we meet up a few days later and rinse and repeat.

so her main point she has gotten to me is she needs to look for her future and needs a guy take on her and her daughter, but as i said after i did some prodding the amount of money was like nothing for her daughters school expenses. which she currently pays everythng but still lives at home with family because there isnt enough to go around.

plenty of warning signs here imo. If you met her on tinder and is a babe, chances are she has several(dozen) guys ‘helping out’. Was with a girl who had 300 unread tinder msgs, and if you check out a bar girls phone their lines are insane. So if guys are stopping to stare, good chance her phones getting a pounding.

Every guy who gets scammed falls for empathy, I recently met a guy in Patts who pays his ‘gfs’ rent(7k/month) despite him only being here 2 weeks a year, he was adamant she just worked at a bar but didn’t go home with customers when he wasn’t around. ‘She’s not like that’, he said.

Granted if she’s a babe and awesome in bed, with a microwave vag, just bang her and pay her each time, slip her 1k bht and say it’s to help out with bills, makes her feel less like a whore, and you’re helping out without being hooked in to something that she can request.

1. some pics of the magicsnatch
2. the accountant is being completely reasonable, of course u will help your girlfriend have an easier life if you have serious intentions about her. That doesnt mean putting money in her bank but paying the majority of expenses etc and covering emergency situations.
3. Your example isnt like that, she most likely has a bunch of guys, she is a) thai b) 36 c) single mom. So just enjoy it for what it is, im assuming u werent planning on marrying her anyway

Is "sick waterbuffalo" actually an excuse used?

Dude waterbuffalo get sick just like everyone else. Thai kids are brainwashed their whole life to take care of family, and when they're older their parents just lay a guilt trip on em to help out, so sending money home is pretty standard for middle/low class

Never have a gf thats 8 or 9 /10. 7 or 7.5 is the MAX for a longterm GF. (unless your a SOLID 10 ofc)

LOL,most Asian culture know this.. it's not brainwashed, it's more of like a duty as a son/daughter..

Why need brainwashed to take care your own parents? Are you ******ed?

its not ******ed, in the west many parents have retirement plans, 401k's, investments. never ask anything of the kids until they are maybe 90

It's not standard for some girl you have been dating for <year to hit you up for monthly financial help.

If I was a fully grown man, and putting pressure on my daughter to send me money by any means necessary, think it would be a good indicator that I’m a pathetic excuse for a man and probs time to gg life.

It is ******ed, almost as ******ed as this comment. I don't think most family's in Issan have the option for a 401k. They can barely make enough money to get by every month, I assume it is impossible for most to save for retirement. So, it is there culture for the kids to take care of the parents when they're are old.

my quote was directed at 'asian culture' not issan specific
