$$ Pro - Nonpro Debate $$
[QUOTE=Goyave; 1155039]Same thing for the local girls: a young tall slim fair-skinned university student originating from an upper-middle class family has much more value in Thailand than a mature dark-skinned undereducated mother coming from a poor rural village of Isaan. You might have more fun and better sex with the latter, but the former is higher placed on the local scale of girls' value, and it's obvious for everyone who has spent enough time in Thailand outside of the [url="http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2677-Bangkok-Reports&p=1147000&viewfull=1#post1147000"]tourist-oriented zoos[/url][/QUOTE]
The debate was started whether a non-pro woman is more expensive than P4P. I can only speak for myself when I say that when the debate was started I was not aware that we were talking about high society non-pros versus whatever type of pro. I never dated rich women in my home country so why would I normally do it in Thailand. Sure we can agree that dating Angelina Jolie or Naomi Campbell we would spend more money than LT with #43 at Rainbow Bar. But how many farang in Thailand are dating or have dated a woman as such here or back home? When I entered into the debate I understood by "non-pro" we were talking about everyday office workers, nurses, schoolteachers, etc. I did not know the debate was to include college students who are driving their father's Rolls Royce or 25 year old corporate executives who are making millions of baht per year.
I am from an average middle class family and have noticed that for the most part people around the world date within their own socioeconomic group. I still hold fast to my observation, experience and hypothesis that a non-pro Thai woman is not as expensive as P4P. If a woman already comes from money why the hell would she need money and gifts from you? It seems to reason that whatever she wanted she could buy for herself or her family would provide for her.
Again, I have been coming to Thailand for 5 years and have been living here 1 year. I am not the settling down type, but of 3 non-pros who I have been involved with consistently over the last 4 years (one is in real estate, one is a school teacher, and one is a government worker) they have never once asked me for any money or any gifts, unless it was something small for their birthday. And even then they could care less what the present was. Sure they have told me many times that they want to marry me and I have told them just as many times that I don't want to get married. But I have never had any of them or any other non-pro ask me for money or gifts. I even have a friend who I have known for the same 4 years that wants me to make a baby with her, yet does not want me to support the baby, raise the baby or even see the baby thereafter.
To me asking for money or gifts is skating in P4P territory. And the several Thais that I have had this talk with have said the same. Maybe the guy starts off trying to play Mr. Big Money and is forced to stay the course. Maybe the girl is just a b*tch (read working girl) to begin with. If you run out of money and the woman is still with you then that is a non-pro. But if you run out of money or stop spending money and likewise went your Thai girl then she was never non-pro to begin with. She was with your money, not with you.
A 3rd grouping called Semi Pro

I just read and agree with your report. Any girl that asks or expects money or gifts is just in her mind (and ours) repositioning herself apart from the straight up Pros.
By seeking gifts (typically they are not so subtle) they satisfy themselves that they are not Prostitutes and I think it makes some of us feel better AND for those of us that have walked both sides of that fence do they not actually EXTRACT more money this way?
So I think this new group called semi-pros are smarter and I would suggest typically employed and do see less pipe than a good old fashioned prostitute.
Like this fellow I lived in the Phils and had a couple of real girlfriends that expected nothing more than a normal relationship.
The entire class of semi-pros are created by us mongerers who wish to communicate in crude terms that we do not wish a true relationship but would rather rent their vagina on an "as needed basis".
The girls initially hurt adapt quickly as typically most of us are at least decent in bed as we fuck so much so they get well fucked and rewarded and frankly who would not want this.
Regular Grils.
Semi-Pros we made them and we love them.
Pros, thank god for poor economics!

Thai women talking about thai women.
I live in Thailand. Unlike some other foreigners who do that, I have my (Thai) contacts mostly outside the bar scene and over the years have made a few very good Thai female friends. From all backgrounds, from the farm daughter from Isaan to a high-so ex GF.
They have told me many things about the Thai way of life and about how they see love, money, gifts, faith in a relationship etc.
Some of their comments can be eye openers for a few of you, so let me mention them. Mind you: this is NOT based on Thai woman with foreign man situations, but just on every day Thai life.
* Money and presents: in any relationship (love-sex or whatever) between a woman and (any-foreign or Thai) man, there are two options: or you go for the relationship or you go for the presents / money / taxi money whatever. In almost all cases, sex is not for free. The girl must always have some advantage from it.
Sex really for free happens only between two people of similar age and social status. The moment there is a difference in social status and the relationship is not the purpose, the something is expected. And mind you, if they do not ask for anything it is mostly out of modesty or shyness, not that it is not expected!
* Faith in a relationship: it is very hard to find here. They have a culture of having "gigs" (sex / fun partner without official relationship) many times besides the regular partner. It is very common for a Thai young girl to have an older (Thai) man to "take care" (meaning paying tuition, apartment or whatever) and one or more young guys for fun and love.
So the foreigner getting pissed off finding out his Thai GF has somebody else on the side."welcome to Thailand".
