Popular Post Pilotman Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 OP, you are showing your age. Its the way societal interaction works in these modern days, especially for the young. It has many advantages to meeting random strangers in pubs and clubs, especially for females. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1FinickyOne Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 you can do both... I remember when I was first here in 1974... if you saw another traveler, or any farang on the street, you both stopped and said hello... now that would be 'suspicious behavior' - - though i do meet people when out and about if I sense they are freindly.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 8 hours ago, SuperGeorgeMan said: Why do people look for new acquaintances on the Internet and not in real life? It depends a lot on the people and what they want. If people are looking for others with i.e. the same (rare) hobby then the internet is probably a good idea. If an attractive girl looks for lots of contacts I am sure she will find those on the internet. But does it make sense for a not so young, not to handsome farang to use the internet to find a pretty girl for a relationship? I don't think so. At least I wouldn't expect that any girl according to my taste would search for a guy like me on the internet. In real life people just meet. Maybe they sit next to each other in a coffee shop or whatever. Just don't be shy and talk to others. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It’s a lot easier for a start over the past 6 months I have used it extensively some were okay some were not okay but the one I’m seeing now is way above the others and if our relationship continues which I hope it does then I had success .

caughtintheact Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 If it is even true, it might be a result of being able to see whole faces on the Internet (never mind whether they are the real faces or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young we went to dances to look for a partner. I doubt such dances exist now, and night clubs seem more about casual sex than long term relationships, so perhaps the internet is all there is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Can search based on many things. Height, weight, single, divorced, kids and ages, salary, career, education, language ability, smoking drinking. When I used them 3-5 years ago it was quite hekpful. All types of gals. I think more working gals have begun to use them with the bars closed. No bar fine for those seeking that. I met a high government official, lots of nurses, teachers, school director, and a commodity dealer who probably makes more than 85% of TV members. Make that 98%>. To bad she was in an amazon body. Teachers, nurses, and good women don't go to bars to pick up guys. Many want to keep the dating and looking a secret unless they find a serious guy. I ended up finding my gal on the street. Outside of Emquartier mall with her friends not soi 6. She had never considered a dating site, never went to bars. Many good gals work 60 hour weeks so online is their only chance. Why do you think so many are always looking at their phone? . Edited April 22, 2021 by Elkski 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Out of interest I would like to read from the guys here who had success with online dating what they were looking for and what they have to "offer". If i.e. a 30 old farang with a decent job looks for a 30 year old Thai woman then I guess online dating will work. But how about a 50 year old farang, maybe not so handsome, who looks for a pretty girl who is not older than 25 and who is not a professional who only wants money? I guess that is offline a lot easier than online. Personally I happy with my gf so I have no reason to try this. I ask just out of interest because it's an interesting topic.

AgMech Cowboy Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's where many people spend most of the time. By using the internet they have a buffer and do not have to put themselves out there. My daughter did it for a while.... I mean a long time, but eventually she moved on to really meeting people and that's how she found her husband. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
