Not an unreasonable assumption, given how noisy most Thais are.

Generally, it's the parent's fault. Probably why the kid is living with/being watched by grandparents in the first place. Absent parents.

It's always "legitimate". That's kind of the point.

What will happen if you need to move your gold from one country to another?

Are you suggesting that the economic downturn caused by the 2014 coup didn't kick in until 2019?

He claims to have met a 40 year old prostitute in his home country (who has been on the game for 20 years). He's been in Thailand for a few weeks and he's assessed that most Thai women are prostitutes, want to marry foreign men, and that prostitutes are respected people in Thailand. Probably another troll account.

Goat or Dolf? Or do you think they're the same guy?

We come from a culture where women are put on a pedestal, able to live however they want, and the men have to put up with it while supporting their lifestyle. In Thailand the genders are reversed. Of course when these two come together both parties can be very happy.

I agree. Boys stay here, girls go to your Western country. Probably the best way to do it.

"How can I be racist? I'm #### a brown person and I came to live in their country because of the huge wealth disparity!" In case that was too subtle, you can absolutely be racist and be in a relationship with a person of a different race and live in a country that has a majority of people not of your race. People can even be racist against their own race.

Stay in Asia and you won't have this problem. They will be privileged due to their lighter skin.

This guy does sound kind of fake. I wonder if it's a sock puppet account.

If this was the case, most 7/11 cashiers would be hankering after any foreigner who went inside. This is simply not what happens. Average Thais are simply not that interested in foreign men, even when poor. There needs to be some angle of Thai men not wanting them or them to be in deep poverty to make them go looking for foreign men.

This only describes a particular demographic of Thai women. Nothing wrong with them, nor having a relationship with them, but it highlights how out of touch you are. No wonder you think that most Thai women are prostitutes, you have no knowledge of regular non-prostitute Thai women.

So, older Western women look better because they go to the gym, but they're still fatter than Asian women? What is the gym doing then?

It sounds like your judgement is skewed precisely because you're in the gym business. You only have to take a look around to see that women in Asia are slimmer than women in the West, especially older ones. That's it. 🤷‍♂️

Quite. This chap seems a little confused, comparing racial stereotypes with how women look. Anyone who has spent a meaningful amount of time in Western and Asian countries can clearly see that Asian women are generally slimer and more petite. This is in no way an incorrect racial stereotype or an overgeneralisation.

Not all of them. For example, many women don't want to do this, but still want to be taken care of and spoilt financially. The problem is that many Western women have traditional values in terms of how the man should behave (earn well, pay for everything, be in charge of the boring stuff), while they want to be able to have modern values in terms of how they behave. Many Western men choose an Asian woman because they find out that while they still need to behave as they would with a Western woman, they get nice things in return, rather than more hassle.

Nah, average comparisons of over 50s will find Thai women in better shape and holding their looks. Few Western over 50s will be going to the gym to keep in shape. Most will be obese and look more like men than women. Some Thais are gaining weight, sure. But it's nothing like the same proportions for Western women. Average dress size for the UK is around 20, while Thailand is around 10. It really doesn't compare. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-dress-size-by-country

They are far more attractive than Western women (slim, dark skin, silky black hair). They also typically keep their figure and their looks a lot longer. This simply isn't true. A 50 year old Thai, whilst no longer exactly hot to a younger man, can still look beautiful. Western women at 50 will be obese and very wrinkly. How old does someone have to be for sex not to matter? 70+? And why wouldn't they still want someone pleasing on the eye?

A Western woman would probably say that this is sexist and degrading. And everything should be 50/50 except when it comes to finances. 🙄

Can you explain a little, please? Thai GDP has apparently been going up steadily with no real change during the coups. The only noticeable blips have been the 90s financial crisis and covid. GDP actually started to go down before the last coup, then up again afterwards up until covid.

Imagine how much money they'd be throwing away if they extended it to foreign men with Asian girlfriends.

Imaginary? Do you follow the news at all?

I think a big part of it is that people attach something like their ego, identity, status or sense of worth to the perception of Thailand as being superior to other places. Thailand is superior, Thai people are superior, they live in Thailand, they like Thai people, therefore they are superior. Obviously, in order to maintain this feeling, they have to block out all the bad things about Thailand and reinforce the good.
