This. You're putting her in the masculine role. Anyway, I would listen to gavinmac, his instincts are strong.gavinmac wrote:
He should get off his ass and fly to India to meet her before giving her money or deciding to live with her. Asking an impoverished "girlfriend" from a third world country to fly alone to come live with you in another third world country, before she has even met you in person, is a dick move.
Either she's scamming him or he's taking advantage of the fact that she's so desperate that she's actually do this.
He has already said that the cost of flying between Indian and Cambodia isn't that much. A gentleman who loved this woman and cared for her feelings would fly to India to meet her.

For what it's worth, you can get an Indian visa online now.
I also think meeting her in person makes it more likely she can get through Cambodian immigration at a later date without problems.
If she just shows up now and says "A guy I've never met sent me $500 and paid for my ticket to come to Cambodia to live with him," the competent authorities might reasonably flag her as a victim of sex trafficking.

Yes plus visiting India isn't a bad idea. Worst case scenario you saved some money and enjoyed a trip to India, best case scenario you fly back with her and you would only spend a bit more than giving her 500 usd + tickets.

If you want for her to stay here longer, she'd be smart to get the business visa in India and you could vouch for her and maybe even wait for her at the airport. I know of another such girl who only got a business visa on arrival because she was with her white (US Passport) boyfriend.
Yes I think that's what I determined I'm going to get her a business Visa before she leaves in India. I just spoke with a young gentleman from India here and he did not have the same cash requirements. He came on a tourist visa but went to Vietnam and entered with a business Visa. If you Google Indian national travel to Cambodia you come up with some websites that speak of the cash requirement or proof of a ticket home.
Yes sir. I'm still with the same cute chick.gavinmac wrote:The prior posts:Denny wrote:I've posted about her before but I lost my username and password and I can't figure out how to retrieve it so I created a new account.

The question of whether you have met her in person is quite appropriate, because this is a common internet scam "I love you I'll come see you send me money." They ask for money for the ticket, then they claim they are stuck in immigration or at the airport and need more money wired.
I don't know what's more foolish, sending money to someone you've never met in real life who claims to love you, or agreeing to move in with someone you've never met in real life.
It's a shame keeping_it_riel deleted all of OrangeDragon's posts, they would be quite informative here.
Sure, it may be foolish but so is shagging a different bar girl every night. This lady is fluent in English and I've yet to meet a Khmer who is as fluent. We have a lot in common. We have been communicating everyday for a year so we're close. I specifically used Facebook in order to find someone who is compatible with me.
You don't need a dating site to meet someone compatible because you can go to Facebook and search for single women who live near whatever City and who speak English and who like for example Justin Bieber. Then you just message them and say Hey you like Justin Bieber? So do I. You can find someone who shares similar likes. The best dating site I've ever found. Yes I may be crazy.
She's not a scam. She's sincere. I've met her family she's not mine. I mean online. WeVideo date a lot. I know she's a woman because I've got about a hundred naked pictures of her. She's just a girl who doesn't want to be alone. I'm just a middle-aged guy looking for someone to be with. Maybe I'm looking for love in all the wrong places. Maybe I'll never find it. It's always a risk when you're looking for someone.jackrossi wrote:As Gavin said there is a common scam

There's a middle ground between shagging a different bargirl every night (the Gen Mack strategy) and proposing marriage to someone you've never met (the OrangeDragon strategy).Denny wrote: Sure, it may be foolish but so is shagging a different bar girl every night.
Many people thrive in this vast middle ground area.

I've been broke in Penh for the last week. I'm not sending her $500. In fact I may fly her to Bangkok and have her take a bus to pnom Penh to save money. She can contribute to some of this. I just don't want them to stop her at the border. I believe that Thailand and Cambodia have the same requirements for Indian Nationals. She looks like a normal person. She dresses very nice. As I've said she speaks fluent English. She could probably pass off for a Brit if you didn't see her passport.brownexile wrote:But if she looks and acts like a peasant they may rightfully ask to see a ticket out of Cambodia. I think you should send her the 500 (if not a little more) as pocket money. What is she to do if you don't show up or somehow suddenly drop dead? Be broke in Phnom Penh?

There is something very wrong with the world when you've seen her naked pictures and consider yourself as having met her family when the entire relationship is via the fucking Internet. Get a grip man. You have not met her family.
Did her feelings for you change when she discovered that you don't have $500 in spending money?

1. You might want to fix your own life/stop being broke before leading on a girl (who also seems to lack funds). Me personally, I don't even have the heart to do that to the clingy hookers and bar girls let alone a "good girl".Denny wrote:I've been broke in Penh for the last week. I'm not sending her $500.

2. Thailand absolutely DOES NOT have the same visa requirements as Cambodia does for Indians, they are much stricter. We can get 14 days on arrival at Swampy but they will grill her and practically humiliate her. And ask to see 20,000 baht in cash. Many have been refused entry and sent back to India. They actually had immigration police looking for brown people in the queues at Phuket airport last year and picked out my friend. They asked him "are you Indian?" to which he replied yes, but they shut up and let him on his way after seeing his British passport. Get a Thai visa beforehand in India. And if you want to spare the hassle and probing questions, have her use a company called "Bangkok Flight Services" as I always do. For $40 you are escorted straight off the plane in an electric buggy thru the "Elite visa lane" and they never so much as ask a single question before stamping my Indian passport. One time the guy even wai'd at me.

This just keeps getting worse. The bus trip and dealing with the scams and border guards is harrowing even for white backpackers who are not going to be abused as much by Thais and corrupt border officials.Denny wrote: I've been broke in Penh for the last week.

How much has she traveled internationally before? Flying a destitute Indian woman with little travel experience to Bangkok and then expecting her to go from Suvarnabhumi to a hotel and then the next day to wherever you get the bus in Bangkok and then make it through the border on the bus and to Phnom Penh and then to find you in Phnom Penh after alighting from one of 500 buses that enters Phnom Penh on a given day is absolutely insane.
Or are you going to have her take the bus at night to save the hotel money?
I think you underestimate the extent to which a single brown woman with a passport from a third world country might be taken advantage of by airport and border immigration officials on a trip like this if she tries to fly into Thailand without money and an onward flight and then tries to enter Cambodia without money and an onward flight.
The fact that she might be "willing" to do this is not the point. Impoverished third world women will often drop everything and move anywhere (like right into sex slavery or abusive maid jobs) in search of a better life. If you truly love this woman (which you shouldn't, as you've never met) you'll start thinking about her feelings/safety and not about the bare bones cheapest way to import a live-in girlfriend to Cambodia.
