My appreciation of this wonderful country

The above 'reality' mostly applies ONLY in the old, outdated and cliche relationship metric of the sexpat and the bar girl or more recently, the chronically socially challenged older white guy and the younger internet bride. There's also the serial 'bad husband' who blames his unfortunate happenstance on white 'feminazis' or things of that ilk. The inability for some white males to acknowledge their mid-life crisis and respond appropriately also contributes to this social and cultural, slow-motion train wreck.

 

The OP, myself and a few others realize that a whole generational and cultural shift has taken place not only in Thailand but within many other countries and nationalities. The construct of the mongering, comparatively rich, white foreigner and his much younger, less educated, poor Isaan trophy wife are increasingly outdated and thus irrelevant. Similarly, the internet wife where older foreign guys are hooking up with middle-aged Thai school teachers and other professionals has probably passed its zenith. Only the minority of mid-life crisis deniers with their comb-overs and pony tails, Harley-Davidsons and an enduring penchant for gogo dancers have any sort of persistence.

 

My observations from over 40 years of working and living internationally (and not only in Thailand) lend credence to my firm belief that, "That was then... This is now."

Your analysis is correct

however you don't dig in some important questions

why initialy a Thai woman needs to go on internet to meet a foreigner

when she has the possibility to meet everyday Thai men, with the same

language, the same cultur, the same values, in the same country.

It's much more easy for them, so the foreigner option should be anecdotic

and in most of the cases a ''desperate'' one?

Why in your opinion the numbers are so important here?

And it's not specific to Thailand, you have the same thing with 

Philippines, Ukrain and so on. Why the westerners are so sought after?

Because they all rich?

I think they prefer Thai men.

But many do not.

To reverse it, I as Falang dislike Falang females.  They disgust me in several ways.

I prefer any female but them.

So why? individual preference.

Your wife is very smart.  The correct Thai saying is that the woman is the back legs of the elephant not the front legs which I am sure she knows only too well.  She is effectively saying she wears the trousers in your house.  Maybe a good idea to understand Thai culture a bit better before you sing its praises?

More likely price.

I wouldn't claim anyone disgusts me, but some want a price I'm not prepared to pay (usually a house).

So essentially, white men are bad, women are good.

Somehow I just knew you would be one of the first here to interpret my rather long-winded and opinionated puff piece as some sort of defense of lazy, domineering, dishonest, fat, cheating white women.

And yet, most posters seem to have much younger wives from rural backgrounds.

(But ours are all different)

I am not really sure what version of Windows or android you are using that enables you to detect with any degree of certainty the age and marital status of fellow TV members, let alone if their partner is a country girl.

 

Fascinating.

Well, you previously posted you had worked around the world for 40 years ........ which would make you over 55 years old, more likely early 60s.

 

As Watson once said, "What school did you got to Holmes, old fellow?"

OP, any time you post something positive about Thailand you open yourself up for criticism or attack, there's just so many posters out there waiting to attack any and every aspect Thailand. Occasionally you'll get posters with a constructive and objective balanced view but they're in the minority, mostly it's just adult kids who get their kicks from slagging off something that others like and enjoy. It's difficult to fathom at times, some try to say they are just being realistic, others clearly are bored or envious and get their kicks from put downs, I'm guessing most are quite young and nearly all know sweet <deleted> about Thailand. 

 

Don't waste your time with it.

 

 

Just to be clear, the term sweet FA in the UK refers to Sweet Fanny Adams, typically abbreviated to sweet FA, a common terms among Brits which is not profane in any way: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/sweet-fanny-adams.html

They not good social. Rejection.

Must pay for girlfriend/wife. Nobody want them.

No real friend.

low intelligence

pitiful guys.

 

I think most TVF member positive. But not post much.

The negative one post to much. Everyday complain. Complain everything. Imagine negative thing happen. Not true story.

 

YINN win POTY. If you read the thread same 20-30 guys attack me so much. But the polite majority one vote me win.

 

Drain the Swamp.

TVF more intersting hear about positive real story same this thread. And people help each other. People complain is boring.

 

Negative guys post to much, because not have real life friend.

 

When somebody post about happy life, the negative guys so jealous about that.

Can you explain me in what way this topic in interesting or give some help to someone?

 

The OP loves his Thai wife? And? I am happy for him, but it isn't the minimum required in that case?

 

Even married to a Thai, and supposed living in Thailand, his contribution has been 0 to the forum untill today.

 

And now suddenly he comes here boasting and shouting at everyone in a rude maner because we are not all in blissful admiration at his `` discovery '' of the country?

 

What a joke !!
