I made a living out of playing before I came over here. But it was music, not noise. Are we in for another long debate then? Ok on you go, I'm not going out tonight.

Deepinthailand Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 10 hours ago, Headgame said: Make sure your friend reads the following (previously posted). Headgame’s 14 Rules to Live By (for older guys with a young TGF) These rules have been “field tested” and have proven to be very effective. Like all rules, there will be exceptions. 1 1. NEVER GET MARRIED. 2. Love is for teenagers – grow up. 3. Do not confuse contentment and happiness with love. 4. Do appropriate research before entering a cohabitation relationship. That does not mean having lots of sex. That means, researching like you would before making any investment. Know what you’re getting into before you get into it. 5. You are not Sir Galahad. You can never save anyone else from themselves. 6. Do not ever overstate your financial situation. Never lie, just be very vague. 7. If you’re going to be providing any financial support, set a realistic monthly allowance for your mate at the outset of any period of cohabitation. 8. Be prepared to ALWAYS SAY NO when the inevitable requests are made for any additional money. Be prepared because those requests will happen. 9. Never be vague about requests for extra money, i.e. “I’ll think about it” / “Maybe”. JUST SAY NO. You can always change your mind when you’ve had a pressure-free opportunity to think about it. 10. If your sweetie gets all twisted up because you said no to something, just tell her that you understand she’s upset and she has 24 hours to get back on track or she can go home to mommy or whatever. 11. Mean what you say, and say what you mean. 12. If your sweetie is lazy, either adjust your expectations or walk. It will NEVER get better. 13. If your sweetie is prone to ridiculous and unprovoked temper tantrums, then recognize you just chose the wrong lady. Either pack her up or pack yourself up. Either approach requires decisive action. 14. NEVER be weak or indecisive. By now you should know these rules but if not, read, then memorize and apply. Live long. Live happy. You forgot number 15 15. By the way having read all of this I admit it's all bull$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 While I did not cover all the comments let me say this. Firstly and most importantly look at the age of these girls. For Christ sake, they are children at 18 years old. I mean come on what do guys really expect? They are still little girls who play with stuffed animals , watch cartoons and do not have the basic life skills or maturity to handle personal private lives. It doesn't matter what region they are from. With that said, Some women, even mature older ones, feel the need to some how show off some way. Its our world and some feel the need to show where they sit in the grand scheme of it all. They may not say it but they show it in dress attire, new clothes or material things etc. Same anywhere in the world quite frankly. This shouldn't be surprising to any of the men here unless you just landed on earth today. What I have found is confident educated secure women tend to keep their personal life very private and usually they hang with others that do not ask. I know my opening comment might ruffle a few feathers but its the truth. I have 2 daughters. I remember them at 18 years old and these are California girls with some life skills and education and at 18 they were still girls and still gossiped and talked mad shit about guys they were dating and other girls. As I have always said. Take the age of most Thai women/girls and subtract 5 to 7 years and you likely have the maturity comparison of a western gal. Everything the OP stated should not surprise him at all IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to disagree with you I belive 18yr old thai girls to be much more mature than the typical western girl. This is based on talking and knowing socially (so please take your minds out of the gutter I firmly belive the age of consent should be raised to 21) here they are more experienced in life and family than any so called street wise iPhone generation western girls.

Its OK to disagree Deepinthailand. I respect that. With that said you have got to be kidding me..... More mature! I could be convinced on family values but life experience, maturity, critical thinking, street smarts, exposure to world activities. Sorry not buying it. I am around women at work in Thailand all the time, ages ranging from 20ish to 40. In the US I ran a company and worked with similar age groups of mfg people. This is where I came up with my general assessment on age . Clearly doesn't apply to all but covers a large population. I could go into details on observations but doubt the audience cares. I am not saying its a bad thing but when I speak with folks the obvious lack of maturity is quite prevalent. Now If you are trying to justify the comment for hidden reasons please don't. I will never be sold. To the OP's post, the guy is 45 the girl is 18. His expectations of her personally should be very low and should never be surprised in regards to her actions. He has a dependent and his relationship is more "father" figure. I think we all know the deal with the relationship, who are we trying to kid. He is just another one that landed in Thailand and left his common sense at the immigration check point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepinthailand Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Then we will agree to disagree on levels of maturity. Just a note when there are a large group of women or men for that matter working together, we all know the maturity levels drop somewhat. It's called bannter and my stories better than yours ect, happens all over the world, you cant judge on work alone Christ it happens every day on here!!! What hidden reasons are you referring too?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick dasterdly Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It all boils down to 'face' (IMO), and boasting about the money paid to them by a man is seen as a positive rather than a negative - even to those they barely know. Edit - I know this from personal experience, although to be fair it was only one Issan woman that did this. Another woman from somewhere else in Thailand (I think, but don't know) was the same.
