Came across another "meet and greet" opportunity. At the local Big C, spotted a filthy guy, wearing a bush hat, shorts, and a hiking vest, not shirt, just the vest. Judging by what looked like tire tracks streaking down the back, I assumed that he sleeps under some bridge somewhere. 
 

Seems like an interesting chap!

9 pages and I still have no idea what a "Normal Farang" is, so I have little chance in finding one if I even wanted to.

There should be a list of what is NOT normal so as the field can be narrowed.

1. Those that are obsessed (more than 10 minutes per day) with Facebook, they are out for a start.

Think a normal human is, being a bit crackers, easily influenced, habitual, and not forgetting the trait of most of the planets creatures, a leg over...????

What a bunch of pretentious nonsense.

LOL. Your position then is that  young, upwardly mobile, educated Thais of robust financial means will seek out foreigners who do not have similar characteristics. It is a delusion. 

 

In Thailand there is good reason why the employer and  those of  higher social positions  do not fraternize with the  service personnel or those of a lower social position. The social divides; differences in education and manner of living are too great to allow for cohesion. There will be polite and respectful interaction, but this civility must not be interpreted as anything more. When a farang  hangs around with the bargirl, or the shop clerk it tells other Thais that the farang has no social status and need not be respected. Thailand  has a social hierarchy and defined pecking. When foreign residents deviate, they are socially ostracized and  looked down upon, whether they recognize it or not.

 

Appreciably, if a foreigner occupies a low social status and lives on the fringes of society  to begin with, it does not matter. However, for a large number of foreigners it does and it makes a big difference in how one is treated.

I've never met anyone who was normal. It's a myth. Scratch under the surface and you'll find someone who is anything but normal. It's a facade we put on to make life easier.

Well if you have never met anyone normal, how can you comment, when you have no idea what is normal?

She misses me doesnt she? Lucky for you Im a butterfly.

 

Tell her I would have still been in Bangkok if she would have walked up to that hot chick I pointed out to her and sang my praises as a boyfriend. She made NO  effort whatsoever to help me out.

 

So now you have to hang out with her ALL the time.

how many guys were in the "sample group"  ?

Since coming to Thailand, I don't want normal women, I want 8s, 9s, 10s.

Back in the UK I had to make do with normal 4s, 5s, 6s.

Now THAT right there proves the point I always try to make here on TV.

It is definitely less expensive to live in Thailand than in most western countries !

Probably enough to make the survey statistically significant.

"I saw he had 5,000bht left in his wallet" usually works.

Yes, there are  intelligent  Thais. As i wrote, they usually, have the same perceptions  of "foreigners" in their country, as those foreigners have of  foreigners back in their  home countries.  This means that they will associate with those in their own social  class. It is  quite unlikely that a Thai; physician, or successful entrepreneur, or owner of a large real estate portfolio, or university professor, or accomplished entertainer, or hiso etc. will take up with an elderly farang retired from his job as a lorry driver, or warehouse worker, or store manager or office clerk or oil worker, etc. living on a modest income.

 

Successful mentally stable people tend to  stay within their own demographics. I have no desire to  marry a 70 year old uneducated retired woman living on her government pension

Why then would you expect a Thai woman (or man) to seek out some old fart with limited financial means? Not much of a future there. this is the reality of life. To argue otherwise is to deny the reality.

If one didn't particularly like farangs, but could tolerate them and wanted to make a bundle, get a house, car etc, marrying an elderly farang not too long for the world would seem like a logical thing to do.
