I mean both. A prostitute in China costs a lot more than one in Pattaya. I know from personal experience. The service is much better in Thailand also. You get value for money.

10 times as much, as you have stated?

As for "shelling out money so that a girl will marry you" why would anyone do that? If the girl really loves you she will marry you, rich or poor, that is regardless of in China, Thailand or anywhere in Asia

Some men infatuated with a young girl might do so. A rich old man from Asia who wants to live in the west asap, get a western passport and a young western girl as his wife might do so too. Not everyone marries for love nor for great sex! That applies to young girls too.

No, men should not foot the bill for meals, dinners. A married friend of mine from Canada ( he is divorcing his Chinese wife ) now in Pattaya used to date women in Nanning. He would never agree to meet them at a restaurant as that means wasting money for two meals. He would invite them back to his rented apartment for coffee. His wife was often in another city for work so he could do this.

Some men take great pleasure in paying wholly for their dates. They do not regard this as wasting money coz they enjoy a young girl's company so much that they want to please her in every possible way.

If they did not agree to sex on the first or second meet it was "bye bye". This is smart and all men should follow this strategy.

Some men have much more patience than you! They do not dump a girl coz she doesn't agree to have sex after a couple of dates. Promiscuous girls are not good marriage material.

Thanks for your reply. Reading it has told me a lot about you. Interesting, indeed!
