anyone heard about David Bond?

[gab-rob]

has anyone watch David Bond's video on youtube?
https://www.youtube.com/user/hellodavidbond

basically he is a foreigner who enjoy playing with some local girls in Asia and he videotape his adventures . ( you need VPN to see some of his videos)
he also gives some tips and "tips' about this and that.
it's a bit controversial for some viewers as some could be considered as obscene.

I heard about him over the weekend on one of the expat facebook groups (someone published a warning about him).
I went looking....his videos have absolutely infuriated me and I'm sure must be breaking local laws (certainly his behavior is at odds with local customs) - he has exposed private photos of many of the girls he'd spoken to on tinder (apparently he has 1200 matches in the matter of days). He has also shown photos/ videos of girls who he says he has slept with (he doesn't post any videos of that on you tube...who knows if he does it elsewhere).
I feel so sorry for the girls he's trying to pick up here. They are far too polite and eager to please to see what sort of person he really is.
Coconuts did an article on him in 2016 about his activities in Thailand: https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/wa...screw-asian-women-literally-and-figuratively/

The last line of the article is "what a douche." Seems about right. He probably loves all the attention, though.

 

[Daniel50]

I agree with what a douche but if he is taking secret videos and posting them he also sounds like what a criminal. But I don't know what the laws are, if any.

 

[William King]

Yeah, why give him more attention.

 

[gemima]

Yeah, why give him more attention.

Do you think if he gets enough attention that the immigrasi might eject him and blacklist him?
I'm not usually one to call for foreigners to be deported but for him I'd certainly make an exception.

 

[Anglian]

Yes, a mark one pillock, I’m afraid there are some expats who take advantage of the poor, but he may well come unstuck

This is nothing new. Lots of guys do a "love 'em and leave 'em" tour on holidays.

Certainly some of the women are hoping to catch a bule for a ride to the altar. You can't put all the blame on the guy, but I'm sure he might lie a bit, or stretch the truth to get their knickers down.

I think the issue is not that he's a Lothario, but that he is sharing images of these women and publicly humiliating them. If it were just that he's having a lot of random sex ... meh, lucky guy. As long as he takes precautions and gets his women via charm, good looks, or money rather than through force, I don't care.

But the vlog goes a bit beyond your garden variety sex tour.

We had a real arsehole teacher called Bond, I wonder if he’s a relative

This is 100% my problem with the guy - he could completely ruin the future prospects of anyone whom he posts photos/ videos of. At least with any regular charmer who might chat a girl into bed the evidence isn't broadcast to the world.

He seems to have caught on that his behavior isn't acceptable over here as he's removed some of the videos I saw on Saturday. He just re-uploaded a cleaned up version of his tinder video (thankfully for the girls involved they have been edited out).

 

[Anglian]

He isn’t smart and he isn’t clever, this girls are very susceptible due to poverty, so it’s quite easy to take advantage of them, perhaps he should try his stunts in Australia, UK or the US, he would come very unstuck

This is fake news. Look at his latest videos, they're innnocent.

Amanda! Welcome to the forum. Tell us a bit about yourself.

You have an odd definition of "fake news." If there is evidence of someone behaving badly, and it is later removed from the internet or other less damning evidence is added to the available information, that doesn't make the original material fake.

 

[nd_eric_77]

He reminds me of those late-night "Girls Gone Wild" video dudes from the early 2000s, though one could argue that the social stigma attached to his "targets" will be significantly greater than that faced by the GGW girls. If anything, his videos could be used as cautionary material to show one's daughter... "Stay away from players or you could end up in shame the way these girls did".

It should be noted that sometimes the "targets" are far from innocent as well. In particular, "bar girls" in Thailand have a reputation for stringing older western dudes along, begging for more and more money to "keep me out of the bars", or "buy an ox for my family in the village"... anecdotal accounts claim that the same girl can be stringing along 4 or 5 guys concurrently. If one of those girls were featured in Bond's videos, it would not seem to be so great an injustice.

Sure, there are some "far from innocent young ladies" out there. But some may be acting out of economic desperation, perhaps to care for an impoverished family back home or perhaps to sustain themselves after escaping an abusive home life. And others may just be females who, heaven forbid, like sex. You're saying all of them should be punished by having their faces (and other body parts) splashed all over the internet?

Hey, if it is true that he sells videos, than at least he could give the women some of the money he makes. You think he does that?

 

[Daniel50]

Maybe he used his name to entice some of the women...........Bond, David Bond and due to some of the women's gullibility they fell for it.

in one of the video of him and thai girl, he said that he'd spent a fortune to date her, buying her phone, diner at restaurants, some extra money for something I cant remember.
same also with the Indonesian girl who left her lingerie in his room whom he met at kokas, he said he spent a lot of money dating her. ..
to be honest I cant really blame the guy, yes he's a douche, but girls also should be more careful with who they date

Seems like blaming the victim to me. Especially when we're talking about cross-cultural relations. He probably doesn't act like a douche in front of the women (why would he? He's trying to seduce them, not chase them away). And while a person who is alert to certain tell-tale signs of douchiness might pick up on the fact he's a jerk, an inexperienced girl who doesn't assume she knows exactly how bules act might miss some of the cues. In fact, I bet he counts on that.
