We've had a very successful topic with "Danger Signs", how about following that through into how to test your new GF.

If I go out somewhere with a new GF, I take note of what she chooses to eat, if she picks the most expensive things. Similarly, if we go shopping and I offer to buy her something, whether she picks expensive things, or whether she says that's too expensive and picks something more modestly price. In other words, does she take care of (my) money or spend it all too readily!

I would not be too quick to tell a new GF about my financial situation, if anything I usually tell them I don't have much money and see if they stay around. But it is an interesting point, that if in due course, the subject of "you buy(me)house" crops up, it can be interesting to tell them "I have bought one already". And then wait and see the reaction.

If she is pre-occupied with whose name it is in, or whether it can be transferred into her name, rather than just pleased that she may be able to live there with you, then that would concern me.

I was once looking at apartments to buy, with a GF at that time. She was very interested and helpful, until she found out that it would be sold on a lease and would be in my name. Then she didn't think it was a good idea at all!

Testing your new G.F ?
I normally leave that to the Doctor!!!

I thought he was making an offer

My wife takes better care of my money than I do

Gee does this mean I have to go and find a girlfriend?????

Reasons I don't

1. Wife won't approve

2. Wife very handy with machete

3. Lazy

4. Cheap

5. Still haveing trouble with 1 and 2

Probably, and pass her on for "testing" ; I am still unsure of his initial intentions here.

Does he want to "test" all the GF? And my wife certainly will not approve. It's the chop for me if I were caught doing this.

This original posting was intended to assist those who are still hunting for a GF, not those who are already happily encumbered!! The idea was that it would supplement the "Danger Signs" thread.!


It was intended to highlight other "Danger Signs" that may become evident later. Sorry, I forgot to include the Medical aspects.

Thanks Arjay, you had me worried I was going to have to face the machete.

NOw I can just go on.

Again Thanks

Idid that, told her i didnt have much money [ TRUTH] and she's still around!!!!! thats why ive stuck it out so far, she could be a rare gem?! ......maybe rare is a harsh thing to say .. must be millions of good Thai Ladies out there.. hope she's one of them

plus better not diss Ladies whom are handy with sharp insruments...it is a fact [saw on tv] that Thailand is the `John-wayne Bobbit capital of the World if you know what i mean.. ten reported incidents every year!!!!!

and thats just the guys who have got the Bxxxxlls [left intact!] to report it!!!

My Girl has already threatened " if you butterfwy i cut off and feed to Duck!!!!!!"

"WITH OLD KNIFE"

Thanks Arjay. I would just note that my GF passed all of the tests you mentioned in the beginning. As our relationship progressed, though, I discovered that she really was really quite lazy and always demanded money for her family. This behaviour did not surface until much later in the relationship. So, I think even if they pass the initial "tests", perhaps they are aware they are being tested and are merely lying in wait for the ink to dry on the marriage certificate.

Snowden - Agreed.

Also, I think that many don't believe us anyway, if we say we don't have much/any money, and if they are more astute, are prepared to take a longer term view/assessment of the situation!

not sure about the test, or what ever, but only 2223, and i'm on
4 lg heiny, sorry to my tiger gals. and she is 75 + kms away, and not an issue for either of us. might not see here for day or 2.

she is more khee neow than me. so all is good. listening to iron man/paranoid album, river view and loving it.

no test necessary, door goes both ways, at your will, pick one. not sure if this has anything with op, but hey, #4, anyone care. better leave those happy things alone for a while, have a flight of steps to negotiate.

wow, #4 and only one typo, i changed, damn i'm good.

oops, edited that one typo, 24 beers, yikes

It's quite disturbing actually as there are so many more important things in life than money. Come to think of it, money is probably one of the least important things in life.
