When the only thing you do is go to hostess bars, and the only Khmer girls you talk to are hookers, its hard to imagine that some guys end up with decent good girls.pedros wrote:In defence of captain chinaling, his bird isn't a hooker.Pecahead wrote:This thread is a whole bunch of sad. It seems to be a discourse by older white men with a little bit of moolah in the saving account throwing feces at each other about how their hooker girlfriend/wife is better than the other guy's hooker girlfriend/wife. There is also an undercurrent of jealousy throughout I can detect. Absolutely pathetic.
Go back to the KiR rule: if you wouldn't marry a hooker if your own country, what makes you think it's a good idea to do it here? Hostess girls are what they are. When you start taking them abroad and buying them things that even YOU DON'T HAVE (like fucking land in Cambodia!) I have to question your sanity. Either that or you're just an altruistic shit-for-brains with nothing better to do with your money at that point in your life.
And my mrs hella sure isn't and has never been a hooker.......... She's far too ugly. Bless her.
The problem with the world is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

What makes you think that? I know lots of guys that have spent money to build homes on land here that is not legally theirs knowing full well the risks. If things go sour, she get it, and she may deserve it too. (My thinking about this is that she risked a lot to be with me, and it has changed her future and her prospects and options. She has given it all into my trust.Kachang wrote:I don't care if foreigners buy land, houses, room extensions, motorbikes, or whatever for their 'birdies' or their better half, as long a they know the items will be registered in 'birdie's' or 'their better half's' name, and if things go bad (a fight, a divorce, girl dies before you, for instance) they will have nothing but a nice memory of all those items and the receipt. As long as NKOTB is aware of that, it's fine, but he seems to think he owns the extension. Poor fellow.
(In the west, the lady gets half your house and income too, so its not much different)
When I build, it will be legally hers. I wouldn't marry her if I didn't trust her already, and same goes for putting the land deed in her name. But, I also know the risks for success in a marriage, not just here but in the west also.
But trusting a woman doesn't mean I am blind and not taking steps to limit my risks and exposure being fully aware that there are no guarantees in life.
To me, its all a nice big adventure and fun too. Its challenging enough and requires me to adapt a lot. But, I enjoy it and her a lot. I would rather try and enjoy the ride than never take a risk and not have the experience.

Thats perfect and why not? What better way to make a conversation and share time together than in a bus, car, airplane? I met a delightful woman from Hong Kong on one flight and we spent 14 hours together and are still FB friends today. If I didn't have a gf already, who knows?
I met another Chinese girl on another flight - was nearly the same. I noticed her because she smiled at me in the airport already, and I thought that was nice because young women otherwise ignore me in the west. Anyhow, surprise, she was my seat-mate too!

New Kid, I like you enough. I have no issues with you and am enjoying reading about your exploits. I am just curious your and her age, and also how much physical time you have spent together in real? Whats your arrangement now, and have you ever lived together or stayed together at all?newkidontheblock wrote:Nothing wrong with meeting on the internet, in bars, on the bus, etc. As long as both can know each other deeply and completely. And know that each is right (or wrong) for each other.
Btw, I think she looks lovely.

I'm very much aware. But why let it bother me? Just like some posters that keep demanding answers their questions. I'm not their personal slaves. So I just ignore them.DetroitMuscle wrote:New kid does seem to be very unaware . Much like kinardsgavinmac wrote:You call NKOTB names. It's the same.
I use the forum as a sounding board for all different ideas and opinions, just as it was meant to be.
Some posters are very rude and condescending. And so what? Life isn't a bed of roses. Not everyone will be a saint. Not everyone gets a participation medal.
Sorry for the long winded rant. Now back to posting interesting stuff from the KOW.
Don't worry, be happy.

A while ago I also met a young Chinese lady on a flight sitting next to me. I was taken aback by her beauty but most of all by her impressive jewellery...
We even exchanged addresses...
Go travel. Perfect way to meet people.

Good on you. Most of the travelers that are sitting on a flight next to me desperately need two seats but squeeze themselves into one. Or have screaming babies. Or both. How do you have such good luck?

You narrow it all to trust, I never mentioned trust. It's all about security of what is yours, or partly yours, or not yours. In Cambodia you will have no security at all, since it is not yours, so before buying something you might give it a few more thoughts than you normally would.PorkPiePorn wrote:What makes you think that?

And why do I think NKOTB might not be fully aware? A few things he wrote:
and for instance:newkidontheblock wrote:My plan to survive the ceremony was to build a small room near the site, have it equipped with aircon - to survive the heat and humidity, western toilet - to avoid the traditional outhouse, and a shower - to wash off the never ending sweat, dust, and mud. What could happen with such a simple idea?
Wrong. The in-laws seem to have bigger ideas. Ceremony will be at the in-laws as per custom. Initial plan was build underneath the existing Khmer house. So the house was raised an extra 3 meters, with plans to pour a new concrete foundation. New plan is to build the room next to the existing structure, build walls on the bottom floor - in essence a second house, with the room being accessible from the new house and acting as a back wall.
Also the small room has morphed into a giant room, about half the size of the house original house, with the above plus kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and yet undreamed of other things.
Hope there won't be any further surprises.
I bought land and built a house, in my wife's name, but I don't consider it an investment. It's simply her property.newkidontheblock wrote:I look at this as a long term investment. In the future, she'll be staying there for 1 month a year. My parents and other family might be staying there as well in the future. And it could be rented out for foreigners who want experience village life but need certain creature comforts to survive.

Right, anything I have purchased that she uses, i.e. the computer, moto,(regarded as mine) and all the other household things, and what is to come i.e. a house and/or some land will have to be left behind by me should her and I part ways. I have no issue with it, she deserves it, imho.Kachang wrote:I bought land and built a house, in my wife's name, but I don't consider it an investment. It's simply her property.

Mostly, I get a skinny young woman, which pleases me as I am that guy squeezed into my seat. When its two larger men, side by each, I ask the flight crew to help out if possible. I have also had the seat beside empty numerous times which is also great.newkidontheblock wrote:Good on you.

Sounds like investments to me. The man gets the immediate return - happy wife, super happy life. Wife and family get the later return - things when the man dies.
PorkPiePorn - not sure how you you get such good luck on flights. The worst flight was being squished in between and around Russian sailors (they had their sailor uniforms on). Huge, broad shoulders that were about 1.5 seats in width. And they drank (all alcohol included on international flights). Over 10 hours of being a physical pillow to massive drunken men. Maybe if I were gay, I'd be in heaven, but for me it was misery.
