Because the regular visitor to Thailand is primarily in it for the sex, and knows there are plenty of available women over here. He has mates over here, some of whom are jaded and cynical about Thai ladies.

 

The bloke who has never been to Thailand, and who meets a beautiful Thai lady in his home country, who is interested in him, can't help but be enamoured with her. He'll probably will fall in love. When they eventually go to Thailand, she will take the lead and keep him on the straight and narrow (and he will happily follow her around).

 

I'm just saying the odds are in the Thai girl's favour if she is actually in a western country and meets blokes over there (assuming she wants marriage). 

 

Normal Thai woman is looking for a long term relationship with a normal farang.

 

Define "normal".

Will she put a ring through his nose, or make him wear a dog collar?

The girl will always get dozens of requests and my wife usually lines up interviews with half a dozen of the most promising.

Is it a purely business arrangement, and what is she offering the western guy?

If the Thai woman is just offering sex for a wealthy man, how is she different than a Thai bar girl?

If I was a woman looking for love, the last people I'd be looking to get it from would be alpha businessmen.

 

If a woman of any nationality was looking for a good western man to marry, the best place must surely be in a western country.

Is that because they are less likely to be fooled by the act than one that has not experienced Thai women before?

I reckon hotel receptionists have the best shot at normal farangs. This is where I met my wife i.e. she was a hotel receptionist where I was staying for a couple of months for work. We just hit it off.

Incidentally, the opposite is true, I fail to comprehend guys that marry some trash from a bar where Thailand is wall to wall nice girls, HOT nice girls, literally everywhere. Just open your eyes, banks, 7Elevens, hotels, just everywhere. . . If you're not raining sweat, beetroot coloured and smell like used socks, just ask them to lunch. What's the worst that could happen?

 

 

 

"Normal" Thai women wouldn't want to marry a foreign man unless they are looking for a sugar daddy, IMO. So, IMO, that puts them in the same category as any village girl that heads to Nana looking for a farang husband.

How many hiso Thai women marry farangs?

Bar girls do a lot more than just offering sex.

They offer the experience. Whichever experience the client wants. And some of it do a great job, they trained for years.

Lots of what you refer to as "normal" Thai women married to farang/foreign men and who were and are not looking for a sugar daddy (pre and post marriage). Your comment and others that you have made are of someone whose social circle is limited to people of both sexes that you met in bars.

 

Having been living in Thailand for the last more than 20 years and prior to that much of there time from 1993 I have known and know many Thai women who one may term 'normal'. Some of the women I employed and I am happy to know that many are happily married to foreign and Thai men.

Sorry, you probably didn't get that I was coming at "normal" from the psychological side, and IMO there is no such human. Unless we never left the house, IMO most are a walking mess, psychologically speaking.

The only really happy people I see are imaginary ones in movies, and the only happy endings likewise.

Of course there is always an exception, ergo the occasional aged man and woman still holding hands, while most have fallen "out of love" decades ago.

Well I was always a bit useless at picking up women, and every real relationship I've ever had, including my current Thai wife started at work.

 

Workplace romance is a tried a tested way of normal folks getting together, Thai, farang or otherwise

Every GF I had before I met my first partner I met at the Saturday night dance.

I guess they don't have dances like that any more.

I'd never have had a relationship with a work colleague as it would be awkward after it went wrong.

Really?

 

In most countries so long as it's not a boss/supervisor/employee relationship, workplace romances are fine.

 

If that is the case in the UK, well thats just messed up madness

Disagree. If 2 employees have had a bad relationship, it's going to affect their work if they see each other every day at work.

I support a ban on sexual relationships at work.

It depends on the people, and if in the same department.  I lived with a coworker a few years, it ended, and was fine afterward.  Had relationships with others, and we all got along fine.   We all interacted during the day when there at same time, no issues.

 

But can see where it would present a problem.  Especially if one of, is the other's boss.  May or may not be a problem, but again, depends on the people involved.

Can't have rules based on "depends". Either ban sexual relationships at work or allow- no inbetweens.

Why should others suffer, because some can't be civil ?

 

If they create a disruptive work place after the break up, that's their problem, and should be dealt with no different than using the wrong pronoun.

Define "normal".

Woman who doesn't want sex with her husband/regular boyfriend.

A normal Thai woman is going to be pretty boring to the likes or me: The family, the friends, merit-making. I wouldn't be too excited dating an office manager in the states, so even less so here where the education standards are lower and the status-seeking more frenetic.

 

People here with long-term Thai partners have made a deal with the devil that would elude me: Give me fill in the blank and I'll look the other way on the boredom factor. Boredom? That's gonna be a no from me, Dawg.

 

A guy over here is going to be at least a little interesting (curious, traveling, open-minded). He wants fun. That means consorting with fun-specialists.

 

Was in Vientiane last month and I was approached 6 times in 2 days for prospective husband-dom. They're still living in Covid-shutdown mode. They're truly desperate. And when you add the communist overlay, even more boring than straight arrow Thai women.

Oh dear, another poster that ( wrongly ) thinks they know everything about me. You don't!

I speak from personal experience. After the rejection, just being in the same place day after day made me extremely depressed. Didn't end till she left.

Boring- that depends.

 

My wife was quite boring but that was fine as long as she did the horizontal folk dancing. She went to work 6 days a week which suited me just fine, as I like my space.

Her interests were eating and playing on her phone, which is 180 degrees to myself.

I didn't marry her for her conversational skills.

Agree, women are for banging and breeding.

My pet rabbits are far more interesting and amusing than any woman.

Never understood the 'she is my best friend' crowd, friendless losers probably.
