I knew it! A new TVF poet of the 21st century. 

 

Then I see older white dudes with the same predicament I’m in, but somehow don’t seem to be conscious of their affliction. My wife calls it the ‘old farang syndrome’. You know the look… in their 60’s onward, white knee socks over varicosy chicken legs, sandals, safari shorts, Hawaiian shirt that doesn’t quite cover the pot-belly. Oh, and the hat as if they are going on jungle trek. 3 days stubble of course. And typically, a younger Thai wife in tow. (did I mention the flip-up sunglasses?)

 

What she calls "farang syndrome" is nothing else than a bitter "marriage syndrome" which often starts with verbal abuse then erupts in physical abuse. 

 

Is it possible that your wife and you are making fun of some short legged beer bellied party bouncer on one day after payday?

 

I personally like the Safari shorts that weren't washed for three weeks that they're already shimmering. And when the chicken legs are stuffed into some Army boots, it's even more fun to look at.

 

A decent muscle shirt that lets the belly free movement in all directions is a must have for all of them.

 

A wifebeater is also a great shirt for such a sex- monster on three Viagras who even kept Somchai's wife busy and exhausted, who'd done the job since she was twelve. She walks a bit funny now. 

 

  Could you please explain the Flip Up sunglasses, some wise expat- posters here might want to see and buy them?

I would guess some of these old boys had hair down to their shoulders when they were young, used to a little non conformity I expect, they would have worn faded ripped jeans first time around too. Not to mention 3 inch heels and flares.

"Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that, to others, is either minor or not observable. But you may feel so ashamed and anxious that you may avoid many social situations."

"Implicit ageism is the term used to refer to the implicit or subconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors one has about older or younger people."

You are with your wife looking at old dudes and how they dress -  married life I miss so much - lol

 

Mostly in Pattaya I have noticed outrageous clothing combos and also bizarre hair colorings, styles, wigs or whatever by the over 60's farang crowd at times - to each his own.

Like has been said, if single and wanting company with a lady in a bar, it is only the baht that counts, not how you look most of the time

I had hair to the middle of my back and a beard that went to mid chest. Today, I am clean shaven and sport a buzz cut - different times.

I have never been a shorts  and "wife-beater" guy. I have always worn big boy pants, long sleeved shirts, and real shoes. 

And I shower at least once a day, more often if I go out and about - something often neglected by the guys mentioned in the original post.

We don’t have a low opinion of farangs. Everyone different. Some is great, most ok, some not good. Same every country. Good and bad people.

 

But the farang you talk about, the Grandpa Fatty Farang with the sex worker “girlfriend”. Walk in restaurant, hotel, street same real girlfriend. Like teenager.

Yes, we think that it stupid. Not just thai people think it, i think every people think it the same.

 

But we know that not all farang the same. If polite, patient, no problem.

Thai's likewise!
