Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?
I’ve been living in Thailand on and off for a few years now, and let me tell you, the dating scene here can feel like a rollercoaster. When I first got to Bangkok, everything was new and exciting—neon lights, rooftop bars, and endless stories about gorgeous people everywhere you look. I was all in for that “Land of Tens” vibe. Before I knew it, I was going on dates with people who seemed almost too perfect, and at first, I felt pretty lucky. These “10s” turned heads wherever we went, and I won’t lie, my ego loved it. But it also came with a weird mix of pressure and insecurity I wasn’t expecting. Suddenly, I was out of my comfort zone, dropping way too much money at fancy clubs, pretending I liked expensive cocktails, and constantly worrying about other people hitting on my date. It was fun for a while, but I could never shake off the feeling that maybe they were just with me for the foreigner novelty, or that we didn’t really have all that much in common beyond looking good in photos. Then I ended up meeting someone who I’d maybe call a “6” by mainstream standards, although I hate numbering people like that. Honestly, it just kind of happened. We met through some mutual friends, and it was such a breath of fresh air. We started hanging out at local night markets, exploring hidden street food spots, and just talking about everyday stuff, like how their family was doing back in the province or which Thai comedians cracked us up the most. There was no pressure to constantly be on some high-end date, and I wasn’t worried about whether they were going to ditch me for someone flashier. The connection felt real—like we were two regular people enjoying each other’s company instead of trying to play a part in some glamorous script. What really surprised me was how much more I got to learn about Thai culture by being with someone who wasn’t all about the party scene. We spent time with their family, even went to a few temple ceremonies, and I started picking up more Thai phrases and customs along the way. It was the first time I felt like I was actually living in Thailand rather than just passing through. I got a whole different perspective on what makes this country tick, from the way people look out for their relatives to the little things that show respect and politeness, like the wai greeting or saying “khop khun krap” at the right moments. It’s not that you can’t experience that with a “10,” but in my case, it was definitely easier when both of us had our feet on the ground. Looking back, I’m not saying every “10” in Thailand is going to be high-maintenance or superficial. Some people are just blessed with good looks and still have hearts of gold. But if you’re getting caught up in chasing the most eye-catching person you see, you might be missing out on genuinely awesome folks who don’t fit that Instagram ideal. For me, having a more down-to-earth partner turned out to be way more fun and way less stressful. I’m not constantly worried about them getting hit on at clubs or whether we look picture-perfect on social media. Instead, we’re busy trying new street foods, cracking jokes about ridiculous Thai dramas, and just enjoying a day-to-day life that feels real. At the end of the day, that authenticity has made the relationship a thousand times better than any glamorous fling I had before. -

Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”
His sentence for his criminal act of theft is a different matter . The point was that he was being held for theft , he wasn't being held for no reason and he wasn't being held with demands for his release , which means that he wasn't being held hostage . He was jailed for theft -

And you remember all the previous lies they've told right. I mentioned a few just yesterday. Given the fact that this site won't allow anything other than western reports (aka propaganda) the actual truth will never really be known- 2
