Average amount guys are paying for a girlfriend?.

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

My partner and her brother are very close, whenever I am not at home they share the bed to keep each other company and make my partner feel safe and protected, I am so thankful she has such a loving & caring brother, whenever he needs money I am happy to help him out. Our kids definitely have her and her brothers features, they are lucky they don't have my big barang nose. The kids get along so well with their uncle that they often call him papa even, it is so sweet. I am the luckiest man in the world to have met such an honest, caring, loving woman...to the OP, there are many such women to be found in Cambodia, the ones who speak English well and you'll be able to have intellectual conversations with usually work as cashiers in bars, so just go around streets 136 and 104 and get talking to cashiers in the bars, and you too will find the perfect woman.

I met a Khmer girl called V in a club. She wasn't a smoker or drinker, wasn't suspiciously skinny, no tattoos or visible scars. Decent English including written and some level of general education. I invited her over for lunch the following day. She was refreshingly open minded about sex, had a story about how she had lost her virginity and was good to go.
That's not the behavior of an average / typical Cambodian girl.

The behavior fits girls operating in certain sectors of the economy though. Bars, beer gardens, KTV's come to mind.

Not saying she wasn't a typical Khmer girl, but in the first sentence there are several signs on the wall which would require some research before going 'full in'.
this:

Any guy ( or girl) moving from dating to contemplating moving in together or being gf/bf, should visit her home and see where she comes from , Gives you a chance to see if she has
1. been lying to you
2. married or not ( if she had been married the photos would be visible around the house)

visiting the family can be a real eye opener

NOTE sometimes stories by LBP are nothing more than that,,,,, stories. :beer3:

I knew she was a hooker from the outset, albeit playing a longer game. I'll admit to going 'full in' with her on occasion but we never had any relationship, romantic or economic.

My understanding was that B knew it too and hoped she would change. What he didn't know was who the money was going to.

In this case I can corroborate everything he posted. He lived next door to them.

You had dinner with her several times
You cooked for her, I assume at your place
You met some of her family
You took her to weddings

Yet you claim there has never been a relationship.

I wonder what you do consider a relationship.

A farang lives in Issan with his Thai wife and her brother. They get along splendidly and her brother provides her with company when he is away on business. One day the farang has to go to Bangkok but after setting off he realises he has forgotten some necessary documents and heads back to the house.

As he enters the front door he calls for his wife but she doesn't reply. He climbs the stairs. He can hear her moaning in the bedroom, possibly she is in pain. He reaches the door and enters to find them in bed together.

Horrified he screams, How can you do this ? You shouldn't be fucking your brother !

I once told this parable to a group of tarts on soi 6. Some giggled, some kept poker faces, but one was angry.

Maybe lady not lie ! she said, Maybe he really was her brother !

And of course that possibility exists too.

Something that is based on trust. She never (excuse the image) passed the sniff test with me.

But eating with people and socialising including attending functions is something I can do without wanting to settle down with them or refer to them as my 'missus' or partner.

I have always believed that a girlfriend is a girl that a guy cares about.I have never put a girl on a salary other then girls that worked for me as employees.I have a Cambodian wife that I have been married to for 27 years.She worked for me a few years before we married.I have never thought about what a guy would give his girlfriend.My wife and I have a joint checking account and she has her savings account and I have mine.She lets me know if she is going to make a nig purchase and I do the same and she lets me know how much she spends every day so that we can keep track of our checking account.She is in her 50's now and I am in my 70's and we are retired.She exercises daily and keeps fit and is still very attractive and I am an old man who has had malaria about a dozen times and dengue fever and stage 4 cancer and have been shot and stabbed in war and am an old man now and look like an old man.However my wife and I have a happy marriage and a good life so I am fortunate as far as my relationship with my Cambodian wife.We have been together 27 years without ever speaking an angry word to each other.Both of us do not drink alcohol or do any kind of drugs and we have never cheated on each other and we are not selfish about money so we have never had a reason to get angry.We have traveled so several countries where I worked before I retired.She does not allow her family to make their problems our problems and I do the same.We love them but we do not allow them to use us as an ATM machine.If they have an emergency and we hear about it we help if we can.Just the same as if they were in the U.S. or Europe.I will spend money to help our nieces and nephews in Cambodia attend school.I want them to get a good education.I send money to one niece who is attending university and will do what is needed to get her through school.If others want to attend university I will help them.
