That's short. These figures must have lots of 40 to 80yo short guys. Most 18 to 30yos are 180 to 190cm.

Complete and utter nonsense.

 

Otherwise "here they are more direct"-sure,and it's called laziness,greed and self entitlement in any other civilization in the galaxy.

what part of  'in the western world' makes it nonsense, other than what might be a lack of knowledge of Thai people... do you call them lazy etc.. for not asking the direct question the OP has noted? It is not even easy to understand your response, and where in the galaxy you might be from - - if you are judging Thai people only by the bars of Pattaya, you are probably going to find yourself quite out of touch with the rest of the country...

Average Dutchman is 182.5cm. I would have thought that's average for western men under 40yo.

 

Totally surprised by the midget data.

I don't know any bloke who has been single for 10 years, and there possibly lays the answer, i.e. is this by choice, I mean are you wanting to remain single?, are you disabled, not the best looking bloke when comparing like for like, or have you not found "miss perfect"?

When I divorced my ex-wife, 10 years ago, I wanted to keep our daughter with me (6 years old then).
The reason for the divorce was that my ex-wife proposed to let my daughter have an accident and collect the Insurance (2 Million Baht).
We could always make a new daughter, but we could not always have 2 Million Baht.
My ex-wife was from Chaiyaphum and during the 8 years that we were married, she was real hell to live with.
I realised later that it was nearly impossible to have a new relation when living with a Thai daughter.
The reason is that Thai woman fear that the mother would start to make problems and Thai people don't want any problems.

I spend a lot of time teaching my daughter (I am a retired teacher) and driving her everywhere.
She was "nearly" kidnapped 2 times.
No way I would leave her out of my sight for 1 second.
That makes it very difficult to meet someone.

 

Strange that they are asking you this after a few words, could it be that you are meeting girls from a dating website, attracting women who are looking for their sugar daddy? Bars girls don't ask that question unless you have been seeing them for a while, and would be saying I don't like this work, I won't out, hence the words "can you support" me.

These are normal woman that I meet.
Woman I meet in The Mall, Terminal 21, Big-C, etc.
Eg.: I meet on a Friday at the local restaurant a woman (no names).
She was fairly attractive and was with her girl friend.
We started to chat, and she asked me the "normal" questions:
"Where do you work"; "How much money you make a month"; "What are you looking for"; Etc.
After answering all her questions, she said: "I need 23.000 Baht per month to pay the studies if my sons and take care of my parents. If you can pay me 23,000 Baht per month, I go live with you.""

I have seen disabled persons and bad looking persons "walk" with a georgeous woman,
So, that is not a reason to be 10 years single.

I divorced my ex-wife about 10 years ago after she proposed to let our daughter have a fatal accident and collect the insurance money.
"We could always make another daughter, but collect 2 million baht was an unique chance" .

I realised later that having a new relation would be nearly impossible.
Almost all Thai woman didn't want to get involved in a relation with a man with a Thai daughter out of fear for troubles with the ex-wife.

I teach my daughter after school and bring her everywhere.
Very little free time.
This makes it almost impossible to meet a woman.

A few weeks ago, we were eating at the local restaurant when 2 gorgeous woman came into the restaurant.
One of the woman was trying to make eye contact.
I invited them to sit at my table and we started a conversation.
After the regular "Where do you work?"; How much money you earn?"; "Do you have a house?"; Etc. she asked me "Do you like me?".
I said yes.
Her answer was "I need 23,000 baht for pay the university studies of my son and support my parents. I you can give me every month 23,000 baht, I do live with you."

Just to be clear, did they fly to your home country to seek you out or did you come here to find something unavailable to you at home?

 

And they don't even bother with telling you that you're a sexy man for comedic relief before segueing into terms of compensation for allowing you to be seen with them in public??

 

And you came to Thailand because in your home country the chats turned to "they haven't printed enough money for that to happen."

You ain't really worth the effort replying.  Nobody can talk about everyone, that includes you.  But, to say that it's BS that people can't live on the earnings of a sole breadwinner is well, BS.  If you can't understand that, your problem.  And why should I stop talking about the people I know, just to appease you?  Nah, I'll pass.  I repeat, the point was made that one poster called BS when I said some families can live on one wage, THAT is the BS, and to think that it is limited to the people I know is BS just the same.  Try using some common sense!

Ouch, your ex sounds like an absolute fruit-loop, planning to kill your own child for monetary gain, hope she is behind bars or dead.

 

For what its worth, I have an X, she was also hell to live with, we were married for 12 years and have been divorced since April 1999 with one child, my daughter is now 21 and I had her on a 50/50 shared care basis by court orders, and I know how hard it is raising a kid as a single parent, well one week on, one week off, although my late brother had two girls he raised on his one, not easy at all !!!

 

My Thai wife, was a bar girl for 7 months and had twin boys to an abusive Thai partner when I met her, they were 2 and a bit when I met them, at the grandparents house who were looking after them while the wife spread her legs to raise money to support her twin boys and the grandparents, (no shame), its a job, its just sex, can't understand why there are so many TVF guys here who love to put them down, really, they provide a service that everybody uses, no shame, so no need to go low, I now refer to my wife as the village slut.

 

I met her in late December 2006 married her in April 2007 we have 2 daughters, and are very very very happily married, she practically raised my daughter from the time she came into my life as she came back to my home land to stay, the plan was to keep her kids with the grandparents until I retired at 55, the boys had just turned 11 then and have now lived with us for 2.5 years, we are the modern Brady bunch except for my daughter back home who lives with her mum and goes to uni, although visits every 2 years and we the same, and with technology communicating is not hard.

 

What I am trying to say is you will meet someone who you will want to take care of and her you and your daughter, and hopefully have a few more off springs to make you feel alive again....555

 

Sure I had reservations at first with my Thai wife raising my daughter, but hey, she did a brilliant job and it shows today as they are tight, she can communicate with her when she has problems and I don't even get a look in, fair enough, girly things so why bother, good that she can turn to her mum here in Thailand as she still calls her till this day, as she can;t discuss things with her real mother back home as she is very judgemental and jealous and paranoid and and and, you get my drift.

 

I don't have the answers for you, but you have cleared things up, when Mrs right comes along, you will know, as for supporting someone, it goes both ways, when I met the Mrs and knew this time she was the one (first one was a forced situation), I said in our marriage this is our circle, no one comes in and we don't leave it, so as for supporting her family, sisters, Uncles, Aunties etc etc it has never been an issue, we don't, simple, although in the 8 years she spent abroad I used to send 10,000B every month to her parents as support, that stopped when we moved here, and we used to visit twice a year for 1, 2, 3 months at a time so the wife could spend time with the boys, not easy being away from your kids, but you have to do what you have to do to survive, that said, she now has a 6 bedroom 3 bathroom home, a 2 year old car, about 4 land parcels that she saved up for while she was with me, never having to work a day apart from her relaxed home lifestyle, she took good care of me, and still does, great mum to the 4 kids and knows that her superannuation payout is coming, later than sooner we both hope 555

 

Hope you find Mrs right in your journey through life and Kudos for raising your kid as a single dad.

They always say that after the guy is gone.

They'll probably say that about you when you've gone.

My English wife is still saying that about me 10 years after I've been gone.

 

If they didn't say that, the new guy may wonder why the past guy was 'gone'.

Anyway, if I waited for Miss Right I'd probably be dead, so I'll settle for Miss Right Now.

OK, Some people ,( all of your friends included) can indeed live in a single income , this thread isnt about YOUR small circle of friends though .

Believe what you will.

 

It's irrelevant to me, I got a good feel of who she is and if she is a liar.

 

She would never say a bad word about me, always says, if you ever leave me, I will follow you, she knows when she's on a good thing 555
