(rick @ Jun. 04 2007,00:05) but the more i read here, i get more certain that living growing old with a lb is utopia. Tell me i´m wrong, sangabriel.
I don't think your wrong. If it seems heavenly, proceed with extreme caution.
There are always examples of successful relationships that have withstood significant differences. But honestly, if you are betting not only your money, but also your life's happiness, do you think you are going to be the next successful gambler? Are you willing to risk it all because you are convinced you will be the next gazillionaire to go home from the casino in a limo? What do you think your odds are and how much risk are you willing to tolerate?
If you can find a LB who you have much in common with, age-wise, culturally, financially, maybe its a go. But relationships with LB can be strained by any of the stresses that put any relationship at risk, and significant differences with respect to these variables (age, culture and financial situation) have the potential to ruin it all, especially if the guy believes it is for love.
Some people who have already bet the farm get mad when naysayers like me blast pure discouragement. But there are those who have not yet made mistakes and can be swayed. Choose wisely.
I know. Thanks.
But ok, let me ask you this: you say "especially if the guy believes it is for love".
Probably no way to answer but how would you know and what would you do to find out what her reasons are? Reading this board (of course mostly is about p4p pros) 99.9% of the lb´s "love" you for money reasons.

Here are two examples of successful engagements to Thai prostitutes:
(PigDogg @ Jun. 04 2007,00:44) Thai ladyboys would ideally like a rich, hansum, jai dee Thai guy her own age.
But will probably have to compromise in some of these areas.
Who says ladyboys, and by that, I mean the ones working in the bars, are even looking for love? There are just some people out there, and we all know them b/c they come from all walks of life, who just have no interest in getting married or finding love. It's my general opinion and there's probably no basis other than my personal thoughts, that prostitutes fit in that category. It seems to me to be an obvious fact. Actually, when you think about it, there are probably tons of girls who fit this category who aren't P4P. I just got back from Miami and was in some of South Beach's nicer clubs. Half the girls in there aren't looking to get hitched, and if they are, the guy better have a fortune and health problems. (think Anna Nicole Smith).
Now ladyboys outside the P4P scene are probably different altogether, but sadly most gents on this forum have very limited interaction in that area. And even if we did, how many of that bunch are really looking to get married to an older non-farang guy? It wouldn't necessarily be their first choice, and if it was, I can't help but think of the financial considerations...
I'm a rough-ridin', hootin' and hollerin', ladyboy lovin' cowboy! Bang bang yer dead!!!

Absolutely top class (and balanced) advice in these words - look before you leap guys ........... But if you do jump into the waters, dont assume that it is about anything but money. Read 'Private Dancer' & 'Money Number 1'
'Taking care' isnt necessarily a mug's game - but just assume you are one, and enjoy each day as it comes. TTC voice of experience! Maybe I'll be brave enough for that Trip Report... one day!

Great post... I sometimes think that WE think that the beautiful ladyboys working in bars are looking for a way out because we HOPE that they are looking for a way out, when in fact they are having a great time exactly where they are... young, free and stashed with cash!
In the end there are no garantees, life is a crap shot. Your chances of finding that one relationship that rocks your world in Thailand are at home (US, UK, or where ever) is probly about the same.
Even relationships with so called good girls are not a sure thing.
I am a firm believer in if I find someone I like I am going to go for it. All it will cost me is some time, money, and a bit of heart ach but you never know it just could be the one.
Some day you may look back and say "if only I had tried that", this as you lay in a hospital bed with tubes sticking out you cock and another one down you gut and the Dr. just gave you 2 weeks to live.
