[quote="TC"]Why pay virginal " brand new Ferrari "prices when you

Interesting, comparing a girls value to a motorcar. Does that mean your going to trade her in for a new one every couple of years and let your mates have a drive whenever they like?

Is there a better analogy?

I personally like to trade in every year but if you get from new and give it TLC it could turn out to be a classic and wouldn

A few quick thoughts. I think she sees you as an investment. A sin sot of 1 mil is much too high, and maybe you wouldn't get it back. I am a cynic.

Ten baht of gold also too much. It's more usually 1 baht of gold for each essential parent or older sibling involved/financing in their upbringing/education. So that sounds like between 2 and 4 baht max. There are lots of things you mentioned that you would be willing to pay for, that to me sound like she would only want you or tolerate you for the money.

How long have you been "courting her"?!

If she really loved you, she certainly wouldn't be telling you to go to massage parlours. They are usually exceedingly jealous and wouldn't want you far out of their sight.

These are just my initial thoughts and I'm sure not everyone would agree.

Hi Philo,
Hope you don't mind me chopping your post about? it's just easier for me to answer...

"As I am new in the marriage business, any comment is welcomed."
Ok... I am no expert, but walked this road last year, so here are my comments...

"Am I cheap or stupid, dreaming or WTF?"
I don't know you Philo... do you feel cheap? Or stupid? I think your own answer is worth more here.

"I am 45,"
Me too

"have had 5-7 GFs, all taken out from some bar or FL disco."
I've only ever had the one Thai girlfriend, (we have been married for the past 6 months). I don't drink, so I've never had cause to visit a bar, pub, club or disco in Thailand... and have no experience with bar girl or the like, so can't really comment on this.

"I have sworn to myself to stay a punter till the day I am impotent, and then hire an old hag as a nurse for 5k a month."
Works fine for some, so I've read... but why hire an old hag? What's wrong with a pleasant, well mannered nurse??
Personally, I would rather have a loving wife care for me throughout my life, and I'm sure 5k a month could help towards medical training if required/agreeable. Each to their own I guess.

"This time I have met a 25 yo (nah gae - looks 27+)"
Age and looks are unimportant... it's how you both feel that counts. IMHO

"She does not want sex before marriage"
I can relate to this ok, certainly in the early stages... does tend to test your true feelings, and helps find other ways to communicate them. We failed in our attempt at abstention , but it did no harm allowing our feelings to intensify for several months beforehand.

"and told me to go to massage parlours because bargirls are no good."
Doesn't sound right to me... Thai's can be quite possessive of partners, from what I see in my wife, and her friends.

"(I know - it is too good to believe ...)"
If you really think so... maybe marriage ain't for you mate, go back to the "punter/old hag nurse" method.

"When she kisses me with her nose"
Don't ya just love it?.. I personally find the Thai "joop"

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?"
The girl said, "NO!"
The guy lived happily ever after, went fishing, hunting, travelled and played golf a lot, drank beer,had lots of girlfriends,and farted whenever he wanted.


THE END
yesssss

A fool and his money are easily parted

Only farangs would pay "sin sot" for a bar girl divorcee with 2 kids

Thailand loves and laughs at you.....until the money runs out of course!

I agree entirely

1M baht is far too much, and if her family are not grasping, you would get the lot back. It's just, except amongst the greedy, a "flash the cash" tradition these days if they really care about their daughters happiness rather than their own financial interests.

And as for the massage parlours thing, agreed entirely. A normal Thai woman would not contemplate you doing this. Just like any marriage partner in the world it is sometimes just about tolerated in a family situation, for the sake of stability, but you must know how rare that is anywhere.

It seems I have a communication problem on this forum. I wrote that I am going to marry a virgin with 14 years education that is educated as a nurse and is working in a hotel reception. And I get this dumbhead wisdom ...

To you other guys - thanks - but the family has not asked for a single satang. It is only the fact that there is only one girl in the village that has married a farang before (and she is now living unhappily in Germany. Don't take the goldfish of its bowl, please). The 1 mill. is in my opinion a necessary show off (returned the day after) in order to not make the girl in question feel that she is less appreciated than the unhappy goldfish.

Thanks, but I will not waste anymore time on this. Supporting education for kids aged 9-14 is a noble thing to do.
Over and out.

chok dee.
