I would just give up if I was you. The culture demands it, expects it, and there is not really much you can do about it. Girls in HK are even worse in their attitudes, and Thai girls, well I would never even go there. Try and find a nicer one from one of the more rural provinces, just be aware that they will be looking up and not down, and that once they get to the "top" they may well become very demanding and snooty.

But yes, you are right, they will always expect a man to be loaded. Quite sad really, a vacuum for any sort of culture, where money comes before morals. Not being racist, just stating some facts. There are some nice people who are not corrupted in the mix though,,,,,
