And no longer lives the life of an alcoholic 'tweaker' working in a bar. Her family are over the moon that she now has the facade of a legit housewife. Even if her 'husband' is an elderly foreigner.

But we all get thru life with a few fantasies replacing the harder to swallow reality don't we. I had a short, little, balding friend in college who was loaded money wise. Even bought himself a club in a major college city. Someone tried to insult him by saying the girls. were only with. him for his money. He didn't mind at all. HIs thought process, which is valid, was "Hey, they are with Tom cause he's good looking, Brian because he plays football, Jack cause he's funny. My thing is money. At least my thing isn't gonna fade. And I seem to be doing just a bit better than any of them in the woman department." So, yeah, who cares why if she always answers when she is supposed to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told him something like: Pay my bar and I will visit you. But he doesn't want to do that. He wants a monthly contract with her. He does not want to be one of those guys who pay girls for an hour or a night. He doesn't get to make the rules. She will be considering that if it doesn't work out she will want to return to the bar. He needs to try for a week at daily rates first- sometimes familiarity lets them think they can stop trying. If he wants to make it longer term he'll have to pay to take her out of the bar long time. IMO forget about "contracts". He can't make her do what he wants or stay longer than she wants to. His only option is to ask her to leave if it doesn't work out. Anyway, still use a condom or risk a pregnancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The 10k might seem a low amount but if she is living with you long term there are many more expenses. Food, clothes, drink, make up, medical, holidays, phones, motorbikes (maybe) etc etc. These amount to much more than 10k. My arrangement is that i pay her no "salary" at all but pay all these other expenses, as you would for a real wife/gf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wwest5829 Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 A long time ago, in a galaxy far away ... OK, OK ... when I first came to Thailand I was a fat boy in a candy store. I am sure many here can identify. I tried being with girls I liked when the mood hit and found that Thai girls really treat you great ... never mind, yes the money thing is definitely there ... but still. When I retired here, I continued to test the waters. Taking different girls as the fancy suited. Then made arrangement for a uni student to come down from Chiang Rai on the weekends. Then contracted monthly for a girl from a bar to "service" me 2-3 times a week. But after being here 8 months I found I really was happier having a steady one lady with me ... for trips but even to go to the mall, have coffee, etc. So, was with my ex gf 4 years, she then had to go take care of family ... no good for me. I now am with the best girl I have ever had in my life. We have been together 3 years already and we are planning to formalize by marrying within a year's time. At 73, I am well pleased to be with a young Thai girl. 555 She, of course sees herself as old. 26 years age difference still brings a smile to me. Best of luck to all in the LOS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, many years later, I am older and she is older and we are still together and I pay "only" the cost of life. But I am pretty sure if I would be single again and if I would look again for a pretty young gf then likely my charm won't be enough to convince her to stay with me. But I think that is fair and not uncommon around the world. Only in Thailand that company is a lot cheaper then in many other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a real difference? If money would be the main part then there wouldn't be so many dramas when the relationship, or should I say business deal, ends. And there wouldn't be any drama if the guy who pays also decides to pay somewhere else for an hour or two. It seem there are many dramas, just like so called normal relationships.

Dart12 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don't paint the picture bad or good. Whatever makes people happy. And if both parties are happy....well thats a huge success. I'm just fascinated by an outside the box arrangement by western standards. I would expect though at at like 2 years or so feelings happen and it becomes more traditional if still in agreement, or leads towards marriage and kids?

He wants a pretty young (and legal) girl who takes care of him and makes him happy. It almost doesn't matter how much she charges for her company. He is happy with bargirls. But he does not want to pay per day. He wants a friend who he pays per month?! maybe someone has already asked......... but i don't understand. By the month means she is a live in ? that would be my interpretation. More than a few guys have various arrangements where they live with someone and pay a "salary". From what i understand 10k is a pretty good deal , but then BM2 is a hansum old man. Or, lets say the more "charm" and better appearance (withstanding age) and language skills one has.... the better the prospects . sorry, off base a bit... but again, he wants a "full time" ? not too many want that as they like their freedom, ya know 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a problem to rent for a day or a week before doing the same for a month. But for him that seems to be a big difference. Some people do not want a 'relationship' with a bar girl. Quite often this is because of what that relationship would make them, i.e. a punter. Having a permanent live in girlfriend can be rationalised as a 'normal' relationship. The money he gives her each month could be viewed as a similar type of deal that his parents might have had; the man gives the woman money to keep the house, etc. You don't see the difference between daily or monthly because you don't think the same way as your friend. You are probably straight-talking and say things as you see them. Perhaps his actions are a way to get around his ability to accept the situation for exactly what it is. Perhaps what he really wants out of life is a good quality, stable relationship with someone who cares. If this is the case then you won't change the situation and neither should you try to. He is trying to get what he wants within the constraints of his own personality and upbringing. If it makes him happy, and no one is getting harmed, then why not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjinchiangrai Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 22 hours ago, bkk6060 said: BF seem pretty inexpensive to me strange he has an issue with it. You can usually buy a girl out of a bar for a month or any extended period. Most will give a reduced price for longer periods. My friend in Pattaya recently took a girl for a month just to see if she was the girl for him. She was not but at least he found out rather then making an even longer commitment. Buying the girl out of the bar is a scam. No such thing. She can stop working anytime she likes for free. The deal is not clear, is she expected to be available 24/7 or just hang out when she is not working? It all seems weird to me. There are plenty of more suitable candidates outside of the bar industry, that would actually care about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The girls are keeping the safety net of the bar, friends, who may well have helped them when times were tough, and from others experience no doubt expect to be discarded If the guy cannot accept bar girls will at least for a while maintain links to what they know, he is not very bright. why would 'rentals' not keep an escape route open by have the guy pay a small amount to the bar. Which in turn may well assist in keeping their friends in employment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
