I do and I don't.

Can't be bothered with all that "can I buy you a drink" BS and then pretending to care what they think on the off chance I might get lucky.

I worked with women and they'd tell me about how they can go down the pub and get free drinks all night, then just walk away and laugh at the mugs that thought they were in.

I prefer a gogo where I can look at beautiful women's boobs without being treated like a pariah, and if I want, a happy ending is guaranteed.

That's why you split the bill. If they don't want bye.

Who the **** writes this crap? I must be living in a different universe from this 'author'-

 

 

-sorry, "editor". 

 

I wonder what other grievances Ms. Prae has against foreign men in Thailand. Let's have a look....

 

 

Yes, it is very confusing for me because when I look at her history at Coconuts I can see that the same "editor" published an article on April 7th 2017 titled

"Thinglish: Why professional Thais still use ‘ka’ and ‘krub’ when speaking English"

 

It begins with -

and ends with-

 

So in other words when foreigners-

-sorry, "farangs", when "farangs" use krub at the end of English sentences it is viewed as if they are being condescending, yet when Thais do the same thing they are suddenly being "unfailingly polite" whilst using "unique endearing characteristics of a culture" to "ease the cultural barriers between two speakers of different tongues".

 

Hhhmmmmmmm.... I sense something.... Could it be a -gasp- double standard? Ms. Prae, tell me it isn't so.

 

Let's see what other nuggets of wisdom are bestowed upon us in this travesty of an article:

 

 

Oh boy. I think I'm starting to see the problem here. But I will let Ms. Prae figure it out for herself.

 

However, I will end with 2 suggestions:

 

1) -If Ms. Prae wants to lecture evil foreign misogynistic men on the subject of true equality (whilst enjoying her privileged position of power in an aircon office as an "editor") I suggest that she should first talk with the countless number of foreign men in Thailand (sorry - "farangs") who have had their lives irreparably ruined by Thai women that bled them dry and demanded all their money by virtue of nothing more than having differential genitalia.

 

2) - Prae, cover up. Your bias is showing.

Oh, how about we hear a different point of view about dating, on top of the countless sexpat blogs out there that whine about how men get ripped off. Is that too much to handle?

 

I'm sorry if that's something you're simply not used to -- or something you don't want to hear. 

 

1) Like I said, plenty of blogs have offered those stories. Moving on. 

 

2) Back at you -- whatever your name is.  

 

3) If you write a rebuttal that makes a valid point, I'll publish it.

One of the most endearing characteristics of Thai people is their desire to be unfailingly polite. This is why they end their Thai sentences with “ka” and “krub.”

 

This is one thing I absolutely hate. 

Not only that, but sexually differentiated language (ka and krab, for starters) will keep thai women stuck in the dark ages.

 

Follow this advice instead...
