Marrying a bar gal. Would you? Did you?

I've read you guys say "my friend, the one I know, etc." so..
Is there anyone in TD got married with a bargirl?
Are you still happy?

Your data is incredible Poolie! 34%, 46% and 92% now how much does it make in total? Where's me calculator?

*madly running here and there to grap a calcu*

We could use bar tender for someone who just pulls pints or hands over botles.

So a bloke that has shagged bargirls can also not be trusted....or is it just the women (I mean the blokes are actually paying FOR it, the women get paid to DO it) ;)

well CMN, the bar I go to, which I am sure you know, has lots of girls working there, pulling pints and making cocktails etc. All are bargirls, but only some will go for money.

So, as in most English, it is best to use the correct terminology. If the ones who go with men for cash are called bargirls, the others can be called...bar tenders, you suggest hmmm

I would say Bargirls is the correct term for girls that work in bars, whilst prostitutes/whores may be better if they indulge in other work. Although once again, those words are pejorative and unkind.

Bloody hell

I'm afraid that where thailand is concerned, the word bargirl has already been bastardised, too late to get rid of the connotations now.

yeah, you are probably right

so if someone says bargirl, I have to find out where they are from, whom they are referring to and what the topic of conversation is

easy really

Actually I think you'll find that most bar girls that shag for money would be horrified to be compared to a whore/prossie...they think of them as different things ;)

Although it's not hard and fast, bargirls go with customers and service girls provide drinks etc. ( should be the otter way round I'd have thought!)

I'm actually amazed that anyone married or partnered to an Isaan girl has made mention of the fact that we are talking about an extremely foreign culture to most western men. I'm so amazed that I'll even bring up this point myself!!!
The Isaan culture is a vastly different culture than ours in the west.
Sure, we immediately think of sending money home for mom to gamble and dad to piss away, but there are many other facets that don't auger well for a long term relationship

So using my new-found penchance for providing accurate statistics I've researched and found that a staggering 79% of farang serving bargirls/whores come from the Isaan provinces.

I can now safely conclude that the difficulties previously mentioned regarding marrying a bargirl can now be extended to marrying a girl from Isaan!

As for starving, that is one of the reasons many did start that work. Maybe the women you know have some sort of education and can choose a better job?

Perhaps I missed your point, but I think it is mutual. E.g my maid is not very well educated, comes from Khon Kaen, and I am pretty sure she would not even consider working in a bar, despite having the chance to earn several times more than I am paying her.

BTW - would you refer to the women working is such places as Shenanigans, The Londoner or The Dubliner as bargirls? - I think not. I am sure your house mate is a "good girl" (I know a few women like her myself), but simply by working with prostitutes, she has places herself lower on the social scale than shop assistants, street sweepers, market vendors, etc. It may be a good chance for her to practice English and perhaps one day meet & marry a farang who will take good care of her, so it may not be a bad choice of work - it is just that at the same time for most Thais (and apparently quite a few farangs) she will be "off-limits" just because of the workplace.

My own, independant straw poll has the figure at around 87% in Chiang Mai, with a minority, 12% from CM, ChiangRai and Mae Hong Song and bizzarly 1% from Phukett.

And I thought most of them came from "farang-land". Mind you, I haven't met too many farangs serving bargirls, in my experience it is normally the other way around......;)

Yeah, Isaan rules

So, you know that girl from Phuket, do you CMN? whatever she said, it wasn't me

My mate went to Phuket and he really wanted to get laid with a Phuket girl then he went to a massage place and got one girl.. 1 hour later he phoned me and said "Man, I thought I arrived Phuket but no, it's Korat here."


:star:

So the babe was from Korat?? But working in Phuket?

Yes AO. I know it's difficult for you to understand. When my friend told me, I confused too but it's really funny the way he spoke.

Or did he get on the wrong plane?:mat:

I wish I could get interested in this thread ... but it's been done soooo many imes before ... over and over and over, and over, and over, and over ...

But, in the past I've always tried to make a case of support for those who do marry BGs based on many, many, many, many years of experience observing those who married LBFMs from the Philippines. So many marriages worked for those fellas. Hell, at one time over 10,000 BG's from Olongapo and Angeles City were getting married to servicemembers annually.

Sure SK, no-one has yet said if they have or would

pity really, I think it is interesting even if you are jaded on it

That shouldn't surprise you, really. Even in the case of all those fellas who married the LMFMs out of the Philippines I never met one who didn't say he met his wife at the tailor shop, or she was a maid, or she worked on the base, or she was a student or she worked at the money exchange ...

I stick my original comments.
It's the height of fuking insanity to marry a ho.
I mean would you pop down the local knocking shop in your British scum city and look for marriage material amongst the skanks working there?

Ridiculous behaviour. Doomed to fakking failure and not pleasnt, amicable failure either.

Ever hear of that guy named Jesse James who builds $ 100,000 choppers ? He was married to a porn actres for several years. Now the tattooed bugger is married to Sandra Bullock.

As I have said I don't believe in marriage but my next relationship will be with a whore. I don't have trouble getting women it's getting rid of them that's difficult!
