My gf/fiancee/wife (all three titles meet the definition somewhere) has been attending English lessons in her city at AUA. There are 14 women of varying ages in this class from about 18 to 50.
Or was telling me about 4 girls who have US fiancees in the class. One girl is an active bar girl who has 3 US boyfriends, 20's, 30's & 50's, each who pays for the english lessons and each who is sending additional money to the girl to take care of her family. She is actually still working in the Full Moon a go go and is hoping to find the RIGHT man to marry. Another girl has 2 USC boyfriends who take care of her and pays for English but her THAI boyfriend lives with her and even drives her to class. She checks into a hotel when one of her BF show up. Yet another girl has 3 USC boyfriends that she met on the Internet-coincidentally through my "favorite" scumbag romance tour agency. She actually intends to marry one of them eventually -probably he who spends the most money.
This leaves the other two. One BF, waiting for fiancee visas. So- a "success" rate of 40% and they are not even in the US yet. . . . .
Definitely sobering because these are country girls who stayed into the county and didnt move to BKK for the money.
However some of the other girls in the class are learning english to start looking and they are of better character. . . .
The message is-be careful out there
