This is a great thread.
My SO was out of town with the kids last month so I hit the DH adventure trail pretty hard. There may be all sorts of horror stories about being hooked for cash, and this does happen if you're stupid, but I think over all most of the DH girls (and eventually all WGs) you find out on any given sunday really only want companionship, sex and love like all other humans on this earth.
I now have two, A tall striking Phil girl who is basically a civie and would never accept cash and another cute Indo who does appreciate cash gifts but basically is a civie in her goals. They both know my family situation but to them, someone who finds them desirable overwhelms all rational thought on their part. Road to disaster. I do I know the Phil girl will be a challenge as she is a highly educated, well spoken and mature chick who doesn't see women of any class as superior. She is real GF material for any single guy however she sees something in me and that is trouble.
The alternative of course is a boring life at home in the US with nothing but fat women, traffic jams and sports bars. Life is good, and living life like this is fun and risky and a whole lot better than being dead. Remember those of use who have that adventurous spirit often end up as expats or travelers and the women around us are attracted to that and have to live with the baggage that we carry. Some do better than others but keep in mind they are also the adventurous type since they have traveled for work and adventure as well - even if it is born out of financial necessity. In fact, those (WG or DH) that have the balls to travel from the backwoods of Indonesia / Philippines / Thailand to find a better life for themselves and their families puts them on par with any expat when it comes to the risk, effort and courage required. They are like us - that why we like them.
Onward with life as an expat in HK and S. E. Asia. | |
