LB's as buddies?

[fancylighters]

Just wonder if any of you guys have made good friends, even buddies with any of the ladyboys?

[Looker]

Sure..why not! Not with LBs from clubs but from all ways of life.
Have a good friendship with a Fashion designer, an IT professional, a Tour guide, a Secretary and a Vet.
Coincidentally had sex with three of them but after the sexual episodes the friendship remained and we meet occasionally when I travel to BKK or they travel to HKG for a drinks, dinner, shopping excursion..whatever. What's wrong with that?

indeed...have 2 i email with...even that they know that it never will be them( they know my "girl" )
they have never asked for money or something like that... i actually think that when they are finnished writing to their boyfriends at the internet cafe, they just write me to hear how is life..
ofcourse iam not stupid... and MAYBEE they have some hidden agendas.... but as far as i know...i has not seen them..

i couldnt for the same reason i cant be 'just friends' with a g-girl... that is that any relationship with women with me must be sex or romance based. i just cant see not flirting or sleeping with every decent looking female or LB.

[fancylighters]

Great point - can u be friends with a LB that you want to f?

[stogie bear]

Good grief... why would you want to be mates with a ladyboy bar worker? That's just insane. You can be friendly when you are with them, but counting them as true friends is ridiculous.

[Guest]

so true for the LB worker,
the friendship ends when she cant access your money anymore
ofcourse she will tell you that she still like you and she want to be friend with you forever
but who believes that bullshit
but i think there is real friendship with ladyboys also, i try to make some next time i go bangcock -
not in the barscene,
maybe i try my luck in beauty salons or something like that
any hints recommended

[stogie bear]

Try the makeup counters in Central or Robinsons and any university. You'll find hundreds in no time at all.

About the friendship issue... It's not just that these gals want to fleece you... It's more about what you expect to get out of trying to have a bar worker as a 'friend.'

There are girls that I like a lot in this business and I'll make an effort to treat them well and be good to them, but when they leave the room or I leave the bar their cries for help go unheard. And I'm sure they treat me with similar indifference.

Is it possible to just have a friendship with a lb? Well in my experience it is.

On my first trip to Phuket 5 years ago I met a delightful and intelligent lb. She worked in the cabaret show at the end of Soi Katoey, off Bangla Road. She was also a working girl.

I travel to Phuket twice a year and each time I make an intention to spend an evening with her, to have a nice meal. I have never had sex with her, never has she asked me for money. In fact, when the ATM's did not work one evening she lent me money.

My friendship with her is excellent, and it is something I value.

Even after the tsunami I offered to lend her money, she declined my offer. So, in my humble experience, it is possible to have a good friendship with an lb.

I am looking forward to being back in Phuket in October and having a meal with her again.

Regards.

Tiao.

Well I've got ladyboy friends from Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, of which three were my ex-colleagues. Some are retired from the P4P scene but some are still active. Yes, I've had sex with some of them and in one case it started off as a P4P deal but it got to a point where we became friends.
But note that my friends aren't Thai as I correspond with them in English. So communication at a deeper level isn't a problem, and that's probably how I maintained a friendship, i.e. "buddies".

Well, in my limited experience, trying to develop a friendship with a working ladyboy is kinda like going fishing and trying to make friends with the fish right before your eat it...

The fish don't understand a word you're saying and all you're thinking about is how tasty it's gonna be....

[donnnnnny]

your the man kahuna

...the "friendship" idea I suppose has a lot of different meanings or definitions. friend that you can drink and joke with....and the Friends that would go to bat for you in a tough situation.....risk their own reputation to help you. Those 2 could be miles apart and this idea of a person you have never met in person but yet "type" with in the internet being a friend or even more funny...."boyfriend" or "girlfriend" is really funny.......but I guess very popular among the lonely hearts club members

[stogie bear]

My friendship with her is excellent, and it is something I value...

Good for you and you have illustrated the value of this friendship by pointing out that there's no money invloved and you enjoy dinner together. Under this set of friendship criteria I am friends with most of the known world.

A friend to me is someone I would expect to show up at my funeral.

(BTW - another great post from Kahuna! You da man!)

I have several LB friends whom I do not pay money. Some are workers, some are not.

It is ridiculous to think you cannot have a friendship with a LB, unless you are an ass.
