What is Thai dating culture like?

[kevozman1]

If you're the typical lovey dovey type of Western male then don't even worry about it. You will get rinsed and be another statistic whining about Thai women. If you're not, then it will come down to if the woman sees you as an provider or her romantic interest and that will be based on if she is genuinely attracted to you or not. It's fairly similar in other places, but I find Thai women are quite extreme in this.

An engineer earning 150K USD per annum will be a lot more attractive to ladies than an English teaching sweating it out for 35,000 baht per month.

Not in America.

Especially if the woman's father is an Engineer.

Then they're looking for a English major to get drunk with so they can pretend they don't have a drinking problem.

That got pretty specific quickly. 😆

A failed marriage and a couple of unrequited love stories changes men in irreversible ways. 

 

Everything is reversible, man. In time.

You make an interesting point—cultural dynamics can definitely influence relationships, and understanding these nuances is essential. It’s always a good idea to take the time to genuinely get to know someone first. Messaging and chatting online allow you to establish a connection and assess compatibility before taking things further, which is helpful in navigating any dating culture. Platforms like https://www.tenderbang.com/ make this process more accessible, offering opportunities to connect with people while giving both parties the chance to gauge mutual interest and attraction before meeting in person.

Yes, a failed marriage and unsuccessful love stories are probably why many men take bar girls for girlfriends or marry them. Loneliness and heartbreak are powerful motivators.

 

Good luck in repurposing a bargirl into a life partner. Maybe there's some hope that "everything is reversible". It's usually newbies who try that.

I agree with the complicated mess.

I think that is one of those situations where you should switch off your brain and listen to your heart. 

By intuition we know lots of things which we wouldn't be able to describe with words.

What brain might that be? The problem starts when men shut off the brain in their head and let the pocket brain do the thinking for them.

And if the "pocket brain" is not compatible with whatever you call the other side then a relationship will likely fail.

 

If we look at relationships from people around us, how many of them match in age, job, culture, and whatever some people think is important?

I am sure matchmakers or matchmaker algorisms would never match me with my gf. But we are together since many years and happy. And I know other couples with very different background which are happy together. 

And then there are others who should be a good match, but they are not.
