While you are correct, I'd leave for people involved to assess what makes sense  for them and what not. They may have their own calculations.

This is trite. Clearly I was thinking out loud and expressing my views on the matter and have no control over the actions or folly of others.

As for boys in bars not being able to be offed , while rare those species exist. Some guys go with ladies only, while other are exclusive to guys making hoping  girls long-faced. There are those who are only participating in the shows and finally those who are   available to all and sundry but at prohibitive price rendering them unconquerable  for most of patrons. 

All acceptable reasons in my opinion and nothing new. But "sorry, I can't go with you tonight because my sugar daddy forbade me to" takes it to another level of absurdity. 🙄

Isn't it ultimate goal of all of them ?

No, it isn't. Some of the guys like their independence and don't like being beholden to anybody. Moreover, a popular guy could be making 100,000 Baht a month (there are hosts from the big host bars bringing in 300,000 ++ Baht per month; one I know just bought a Mercedes convertible) and there aren't that many sponsors willing to part with that amount as compensation for taking him permanently out of the bar.

A little more honesty and a little less fantasy on both sides would probably save a lot of people from getting hurt, no?

next time we are there at the same time I may point you to a guys who may confirm your  suspicion.

we already know you and @Olddaddy have something going.... what it is, anybody's guess 🤷‍♂️

I prefer to keep the interactions transactional.  After all, that is what they are.  Pleasantly transactional is ideal for me.

While I have enjoyed meeting a number of different guys this trip and enjoyed regular sessions, only one has peaked my interest enough to even consider any of this, and that would be Cam.  I really don't know how to even approach the subject with him or if it is something that he would even be interested in.  I also don't know exactly what I would be suggesting, given this inner struggle taking place in my mind.  I certainly don't want to make any promises that I cannot or will not keep.  I don't want to be 'all talk, no action' or empty promises, so to speak.  

You can be direct and tell him you want him to stay with you for 3 days then wait for his response.

Most guys have experienced offs for few days from customers so they know what to expect.
