The guy has a point. I know people who have been taken to the cleaners by their ex's. I'm also wondering just how much experience LM has in Thailand, as many things he says ring EXTREMELY true of certain resorts over there. My experience is from a relationship I had with a thai girl, I got to know somewhat of how their minds work regarding foreign male tourists................think barracuda.
Now I can't really say much about Filipenas. What I do know, is that there is a different mindset to Thais (To generalise). Put another way, if you google for Filipena ripped me off, you get some websites. Put Thai girl rip me off, and the internet lights up!
Not saying both don't rip off, of course they do, however there is definitely a different mindset if we take an average.
One example, and something which is not well known - Thais really don't like to leave Thailand.
This is obviously not to say they don't indulge in ripping off.............and it certainly depends which resorts/cities you go to. Could also be due to Phils not being a place many go for holidays.
I never got over the number of men who left their brains in America/UK/Australia, and decided that the pros............sorry............
bargirl he had met really loved him, and if he would send her some money every month, then she would go home and be a good girl.
I am not alone in knowing men who were ripped off for a lot of money, and there have been instances where it reached the millions.
I could detail the scams they got up to. The properties they got their tame farang to build, oh and I earned plenty of brownie points helping them translate the texts and e-mails sent from their sponsors..........all 2, 3.............5 of them!
Well maybe this is a total irrelevance to the thread. Maybe everyone is aware that if they wanted to find a girlfriend in England, the last place they would go is the red light district, so why the hell do they do the same in SE Asia!
Location is all, background is all. Just like if you are from an aspirational family, it's unlikely you would settle with the daughter of a drug taking Stella drinking dosser, it's the same anywhere else.
And unfortunately, yes I've heard of the grapevine of friends they make in the UK, giving all sorts of advice.
In the end, we make our choices based on sound decisions. If something just doesn't seem right - then odds on it ISN'T.
