just read the book hahahahahah

[The Great & Powerful Oz]

Me thinks reading too much is spoiling the fun ...;-)

 

[[804]kennyy]

Firstly, fantastic book, a must, but not before you go me thinks..and even after reading the book, your still going to get caught, who could refuse that little package from heaven sitting at the end of your bed wraped in a pristine white towel, softly singing along to some western song in her best english????
Get your wallet out again..

 

[racism is unbecoming]

Talked to a Bg in chaweng, calculated she made roughly 14k baht a week for 6 months on end, including money being sent from some sucker in luxembourg. this is about 336k baht in 6 months.... big money in udon thani. which she spent on buying iphones for 23k a piece and other meaningless shit for her brothers.

you can take the girl out of the bar, but you can´t take the bar out of the girl...

 

[Fallout]

that is a bullshit quote that is always used on here

in my opinion, half the guys that take bg's are lazy sods and 100% of the guys that say that quote are usually the lazy ones
if you take the time to show them some new ways, actually havea conversation with them that goes past thinglish, or guys poor attempt at thai and generally take your time to introduce them to new things, then you get results
if, like most guys do, only expose them too drinking everynight, staying in the same p4p areas you met them, then they dont change, or maybe they are playing down to the class of farang??

 

[My Puppet Hands]

Maybe you misunderstood my meaning, I´m not saying bargirls are bad people, I´m just saying I would not make an emotional investment in someone whose job description actually consists of faking emotions. Once you have perfected that art, it cannot be unlearned.

Maybe this says more about my own trust issues than that of BG´s tho. I like Thai girls and enjoy talking to bargirls, however I would never consider sponsoring one or marrying a girl who´d worked in a bar more than a couple of months.

But as you say, maybe this says more about me, than it says about them.

 

[Vengeance of God]

i understood your point, but like i said, i think a lot of it has to do with the farang and not the bg
most guys get a bg, stay with ehr but pretty much live the same lifestyle with her as when she was a bg, so she is never exposed to new things and then its always, she will always be a bg

but if you tried exposign them to new things, maybe a museum, art gallery, just having a conversation with them about current events, maybe the girl will actually change her ways and learn new ways. it is all about what you expose them too. i think they will still have that poor village girl traits to some degree but belive me, a lot of them are smarter than you think

 

[Blonde Vegetarian]

Smart? Yes, many are BUT, they have priorities just like everyone else.
Sending money home is high on the list.

Going to museums and art gallerys or expecting justice in their political system is not high on their list.

There's a few who might fit the bill but I am told i lose face because i send my kid to an expensive school yet don't live in a big, expensive house.

I understand my priorities but they don't.

 

[Valen]

I would agree with Marc on that, they dont know till you show them.
see the same thing in girls from oz that have had no cash growing up

 

[...]

oh, my wife still has just the most stupid face type thoughts as they all do
but if i refuse something that i deem not needed, i explain why i think it is not needed or why id rather pay for her son's education than build a house no one would live in
it does take a lot of work, but i think they are smart enough to understand
if you hound them enough 5555

I just read the book "Private Dancer"

Funny as hell... but far too cynical... and would only recommend it to mates who are experienced in Thailand... or in need of a wake-up call.

 

[Dewi]

I read up a fair bit before my first visit and it didnt stop me making all the mistakes - but it did help me to spot when I was in the middle of a mistake and get out of it.

 

[ipekbensuxoxo]

I just enjoyed it as a funny story really... it was too ridiculous to be instructive... It was more like the Life of Brian version of the death of Christ... :

 

[I DJ WEDDINGS]

i still havent got around to reading it yet. i think i'm way to far gone for it to make any difference what so ever to me 555555. although i'm sure it would be a laugh. perhaps one day

 

[Jitter]

Doesn't take long to read... so if you have spare afternoon... here it is!

["Team Failure"]

i read pd and because of it made my own set of rules regarding bgs. Somtimes they work well and other times i am the worlds greatest idiot... i guess everyone makes their own interpretation. A

 

[kingers1988]

I think common sense goes a long way... guys who suffer in LOS probably suffer anywhere...

 

[ChrisWodja]

Surely spending too much time reading pd and other books is a bit like going to watch a movie when you already know the ending. Some of teh best fun I've had here was when I made complete noobie mistakes back in the day.

 

[Star Fairy]

I think the moral of the story is to trust your instincts, your body and mind has been developing these instincts all your life - if you put your hand on something hot your instinct pulls it away to stop you getting hurt. its the same with feelings. if you think something isnt quite right its your instinct telling you so be on your guard trying to protect you from getting hurt.

enjoyed reading the book but im glad i didnt read it before my 1st few trips - it was good fun buying into the illusion as a noob

 

[So slick.]

I was just at Surin Beach and the German lady next lounger over was reading PD whilst her husband read a Dan Brown book....

I was curious to know her opinion so I asked....she said she loved it and found it fascinating.....but the writer was such an idiot....555

 

[freebsd-unix.sg]

She thought it was autobiographical then...5555
