Some money boys play the long game, I see this in Bali A LOT (used to see it in Thailand years ago). In the end they get more than if they were getting a daily fee, the feeling of  being "loved" plays with hearts and wallets... and in the end, they end up with gifts, trips, great restaurants and in the end, doing less work (sex).

Yup. I believe it's called throwing a sprat to catch a mackerel. A very old fishing tactic.

I don't understand "other means".

Made an alternate profile on the app which he promptly liked. Then i asked some direct questions.

You will recall from my October/November trip report that I met a young man via Grinder who was employed full time at one of the large Thai banks who wanted to be boyfriends, but also wanted a monthly contribution from me of $1000 USD!  It started out innocently enough without any request for money, but eventually that did come up.  I do not know if he could be called a 'money boy', but hindsight makes me think it is at least a side hustle.  

Why not? Because he allegedly has a job in a bank? The only difference is that you would have paid him by the month, not by the day. Alternatively, I'm sure he would have agreed to a weekly stipend too.

I had a guy in Bangkok last year do the same , his plan is the end result when your leaving expect to tip big .

I think I even done a post about it in October 2024

He also worked in a bank ,I'm sure he said this 😳bank or accountant something like that 

He did go to DJ station dance💃🏿🕺🏿 club with me,jazz clubbing , restaurants , wine bars , Hilton Bangkok so he was worth the gift I gave him when he came to see me off at the airport 

They usually hang around the bars in Silom on weekends 

One guy is half Thai 🇹🇭half German 🇩🇪 he is a free service until the end

I will be soon back in BKK but I am at a loss how to proceed. Continue this boyfriend phantasy or mention that I know? And how to do that without hurting his feelings or him loosing face....

Or just wait if he asks for money at some point? I would not mind giving some, that is not the point.

Or maybe it’s not a fantasy.  Maybe he isn’t asking for money because he likes you.  Sometimes people surprise you.   If it were me I would talk in person when I next get to Bangkok.
