Been all over Thailand. I dont know what it is. Young handsome fit guys with hair never seem to fall for these in Thailand. Its always only old bald fat Farangs fall who for these tricks from Thai bargirls.

I guess from the old saying: "an old fool and his money are easily parted"

If she is not answering phone, it means she is busy in bed serving another customer or her "sponsor" is in town and has taken her to Koh Samui for a few days.

[Digby]

Thx for the video. I’ve spent money on overseas tarts but that’s why you go there isn’t it?

Unlimited BBFS multiple times a day for weeks on end. I spend more than average because I want to be the guy that punts the one girl in the a good bar that is better looking than the rest. You know the one, the hottie with the long blonde hair, young, dresses well and has her own new scooter for example and rents her own high end apartment in a good building close to where the action is. Her looks guarantee her income.

They’re worth the spend because they’re not average. Everything about them is perfect, they’re selling you the fantasy and you reciprocate by paying.

Just don’t fall for the illusion.

[Incognito]

Omg what hilarious thread this is. Linq are you a 7 year old thinking that a ML or WL in the first visit will be you GF? You need to wake up mate. Now you have the whole forum thinking like you're stupid idiot you're thinking that she would actually start being a GF.

[stallionmachine123]

Don’t worry Linq I’ve been played by these females before just fortunate enough it’s been with my downstairs.

[Digby]

The more I think about it it’s better to punt then go. There are so many woman available why get stuck with one? Sooner or later they start interfering with your lifestyle with subtle expectations or demands.

[Mybadwilly22]

Linq, mate, strap in, ‘cause we’re takin’ this ride one painful step at a time. You’ve got the whole forum in stitches, and now it’s time for you to get a wake-up call. Let’s break down this tragic comedy you call a love story.

1. “I went to a Chinese massage shop.”
• First mistake, mate. You walked into a massage shop, and what, thought you’d find your soulmate between the lavender oil and the dodgy bamboo wallpaper? Bruh, this isn’t a romantic getaway, it’s a place where people go to get… let’s call it “relief.” And you’re out here thinkin’ you found love in a hopeless place? Nah, mate. This ain’t Rihanna’s song—it’s business. You walked into the most transactional environment possible and thought you’d get a date. Come on.
2. “The girl asked if I had just finished work.”
• Mate, that’s a stock question. She’s not out here tryna get to know your career path. She doesn’t give a toss about whether you just finished a shift or finished your sixth espresso on a job hunt. She’s tryin’ to gauge how much energy (and more importantly, money) you’ve got left in the tank. But you—you thought this was small talk, didn’t ya? Thought she was makin’ sure she got to know the “real” you. Nah, bruh. She was tryna figure out if you were payin’ in cash or EFTPOS.
3. “I said I’m looking for work.”
• YOU DID WHAT?! Mate, you walked into a place where the entire premise is based on you having money, and you tell her you’re lookin’ for work? Bruh, that’s like walkin’ into a casino and tellin’ the dealer you’re savin’ for rent! Of course she’s gonna mentally clock out. She’s thinkin’, “Oh great, I’ve got a guy who’s not even workin’—he’s not spending money on me!” You just dropped from “customer” to “charity case” in under 10 seconds.
4. “She asks if I want to be her boyfriend.”
• Oh, here we go! This is where your head started spinning with the wrong ideas. She asked you if you wanted to be her boyfriend, and you thought, “I’m in. This is it. Love at first sight!” Bruh, this wasn’t an audition for The Bachelor. When she says “boyfriend,” what she means is “How much more are you gonna spend today?” You’re over here thinking she’s planning picnics and Sunday brunch, but in reality, she’s just askin’ if you’re about to upgrade to the VIP package.
5. “I said no, but we can be friends.”
• Hold up, you friend-zoned yourself? Mate, you really turned down the (fake) boyfriend offer and went with “friends”. Let me get this straight: you’re at a massage shop, where money is literally the only language, and you’re out here talkin’ about friendship? Friends? You think she’s there to share secrets over chai lattes and go see movies with you? You’re the first bloke I’ve ever seen walk into a transactional setup and offer to downgrade his value. Congratulations.
6. “She asks for my WeChat.”
• Ah, here’s where your hopes and dreams took flight, huh? She asked for your WeChat, and you thought, “This is it. She wants to keep in touch. We’ll be texting late at night, talkin’ about life and the future.” No, mate. She’s askin’ for your WeChat because that’s how they lock in repeat business. You’re thinkin’ “relationship,” and she’s thinkin’ “potential regular.” You’re another name in her phone next to blokes labeled as “Dave - Tips well” and “Rob - Friday regular.”
7. “I msg her 2 days later, no reply.”
• Of course, no reply, mate! She’s got other customers! You messaged her like you’re on the verge of a relationship, and she’s probably serving the next bloke without a second thought. You’re sittin’ there, heart pounding, thinkin’, “Maybe she’s just busy!” Yeah, she’s busy alright—busy with another fella who knows the drill. You’re out here, waitin’ by your phone, and she’s already moved on to Customer #42.
8. “I msg her 6 days after that, no reply.”
• Six days later and you’re STILL trying? Mate, at this point, you’re basically puttin’ up posters with her picture asking if she’s gone missing. She’s not replying because you’re not a priority. You’re out here lookin’ like the guy who shows up to a party no one invited you to. She’s not ghosting you because she’s too busy—she’s ghosting you because you’re not payin’ anymore.
9. “I see her posting on her WeChat moments which means she isn’t dead or locked out of the account.”
• Well, well, well, Detective Linq is on the case! You’ve cracked it, mate! She’s alive! Posting! Living her life! And yet… no reply to you. Why? Because she doesn’t care! You’re sitting there refreshing her moments like it’s a Netflix series and wondering why she’s not messaging you back. Newsflash, mate: Just ‘cause she’s alive and kickin’ doesn’t mean she’s interested in you.
10. “I msg her 3 days later after that asking if she forgot about me, no reply.”
• Oh no… not the “Did you forget about me?” text. Mate, that’s tragic. She didn’t forget about you—she never thought about you. You’re sittin’ there like some lost puppy, wondering if she just misplaced your contact. Meanwhile, she’s probably scrollin’ past your message thinking, “Who’s this bloke again?” You weren’t forgotten, mate—you were never remembered.
11. “I sent her a video of myself like I usually do here an hour later, no reply.”
• You sent a video? Of yourself? Mate, stop it. This is beyond sad—it’s borderline stalker behavior. You thought sendin’ her a video was gonna remind her of what she’s missin’? Nah, bruh, she probably opened it, rolled her eyes, and hit delete faster than you can say, “boyfriend.” You’re lucky she didn’t block you on the spot. Videos? Mate, that’s some next-level cringe. You’ve gotta stop before you end up on a “Do Not Reply” list.

Now, let’s talk about that last bit of your tragic tale:

• “Also, I only want people who are from China who came to Australia at the age of 13+ to answer this.”
• Mate, what kind of weirdly specific, low-key racist request is this? Only Chinese people who moved here after age 13? What is this, a bloody support group for heartbreak victims with visa stamps? Are you collecting stamps in your “broken heart” passport now? You think only Chinese immigrants who came here as teenagers can help you with this? Mate, love—or lack of it—doesn’t need a translator. You could be chattin’ with anyone, and the answer’s still gonna be the same: you’re not special. She’s playin’ the game, and you’re losing it—no matter where anyone’s from.

And let’s talk about all these blokes tryna give you advice:

• Mate, you’ve got people out here talkin’ about how to ask her about her “day off” like that’s gonna flip the script. Stop it. She doesn’t care about your follow-up questions. You think she’s gonna respond because you asked about her schedule? Nah, mate, she’s sittin’ there lookin’ at your message, scrollin’ through another bloke’s bank transfer, thinkin’, “When’s this guy gonna get the hint?”

So, Linq, here’s the real deal: You didn’t get played because she’s some mastermind—we’re not in a James Bond movie. You got played because you played yourself. You walked into a business thinkin’ it was a love story, and now you’re sendin’ videos and askin’ for “friends” like you’re in high school again. Wake up, mate.

[Raybo]

^^^ GOLD ^^^

But in summary:

Op didn't get played, this is pretty standard ML/WL behaviour. They want you to add them on whatever social media platform for their purpose, not yours.

[11Bravo]

Linq, mate, strap in, ‘cause we’re takin’ this ride one painful step at a time. You’ve got the whole forum in stitches, and now it’s time for you to get a wake-up call. Let’s break down this tragic comedy you call a love story.

BRILLIANT. Best read this month, best read this quarter. SALUTE.

And the bonus was you didn't ask how old she was.

@ Mybadwilly22

I really would like to commend you on the effort. The least he could do is to THANK YOU, here . Otherwise he is a real Pr**k and just taken us for a ride. Just sounded 'kindergarten stuff ' of a teenager and his puppy love if you factor in the stuff he has been gloating about.

Detailed and correct. Perhaps you’d like to take linq under your wing and advise him before his next misadventure?

[Scottphar]

What is this thread about. Some ML said a bunch of lies to OP and he got emo when she didn't stand by her word. Is that it? Or am I missing something.

[bobbybrown]

A fool and his sanity are soon parted

[Hedonisticfun]

The more I think about it it’s better to punt then go. There are so many woman available why get stuck with one? Sooner or later they start interfering with your lifestyle with subtle expectations or demands.

100% Digby .. after some 60 years I found The One , ticked all the boxes ... then when the *honeymoon* period was over (neither of us were married nor were we) , the relationship soured and I no longer had her on a pedestal .. everything seemed to be her way and I felt I was losing my freedom . Long story short , remained friend as I was indebted to her for the good times we had but didn*t want to dump her and went ballastic on punting to which I had only dabbled in before. At this age wasn*t prepared to sacrifice anything for someone else , might sound selfish but wanted what made me happy while I was still upright . . Feel so liberated and alive having sex whenever you want without ties and variety is the spice of life ! Even with regulars , it can be a bit mundane eventually and they lose their sex appeal .

[Digby]

Honeymoon period when everyone is on their best behaviour and best presentation. It’s been my experience that people let themselves go in any number of ways or their past comes to light one way or another and that the skeletons do come out of the closet. I don’t know of one woman who doesn’t have baggage of some sort, be it emotional or physical.

Better off paying for a sixty minute illusion and then go about your life doing things for yourself. Commitment is a term that guys don’t need. If you want to talk shite you can talk to your mates and if you want sex then go pay for it. SWs are not called professionals for nothing, most do give better sex due to their experience but are they worth rewriting your life around?

[Bigleaf]

Linq, dm me the massage shop and the girl and I will go undercover and find out for you. Everything will be handled with respect and care.

[ColesBag]

Or perhaps she did some research & found out your real name is CentreLinq. That would certainly turn most women off a man.

[1inchguy]

Omg what hilarious thread this is. Linq are you a 7 year old thinking that a ML or WL in the first visit will be you GF? You need to wake up mate. Now you have the whole forum thinking like you're stupid idiot you're thinking that she would actually start being a GF.

You'll be surprised how disillusion guys can be. Just because a girl talks to them they think they're in. Maybe it's a self confidence thing or how they are bought up..
I have few friends that are similar too.
Whats crazy is if they get rejected they unable to handle it and may kill the girl..
