They may be nervous? Maybe you make them nervous and they laugh to fill the silence. No language doesn't help. Maybe they think it is akin to flirting. Or maybe you are funnier than you think. Or maybe they are much younger than you. Can't see older thai ladies being like that on a first date. Not being all silly like that. Fact is after a couple of dates they'll probably be more normal.

Many Thais try to behave and say what they think the other person wants to see and hear. 

 

This is very true.  Often Thais are basically acting out a character.

That sounds like Thai people alright.  Try to see the positive sides.

Can you see James Bond with these immature Thai ladies? Would never happen.

Post a pic of yourself Jim and we will give you some advice.....

I enjoy the fun Thai attitude. Farangs are all so serious and angry.

Of course they would be nervous. Especially if never dated a farang before. Giggling hides nerves.

The level of education in Thailand is of a standard ( deliberately kept that way ) where individual thought is discouraged.

 

You might have better luck with older women, who have more life experience.

 

only if you date low educated women. thai women i date and most of my thai friends have bachelor or master degrees from foreign universities, studying in their second, or third language, could you?

 

be careful before you make generalised inaccurate comments. or get out of the bar and meet some well educated professional locals

I have removed a number of baiting, trolling and name calling off topic posts.

 

@susanlea and @RSD1 take this a your final warning, stop hijacking topics with you adolescent bickering or accept some time off.

What percent of Thai women have obtained degrees from foreign universities? It's not a generalised or inaccurate comment if I am speaking for the majority of the Thai population.

 

I have not been in a bar for about ten years. and have not had an alcoholic drink for 18 months. Don't bruise yourself jumping to conclusions.

 

Congratulations, you are telling everyone on this thread you are a snob.

 

 

Maturity comes with having kids but do you want to date a woman with kids?

So you speak Thai and it's all hunky dory? Conversations are normal and sophisticated? Or, are you still talking about childish stuff and experiencing immaturity?

Probability of maturity correlates with age, don't expect it from under 30 years old, better even >40 years with kids. True for men and women, and, apart from the bar girl environment,  across continents.

Well you might be correct about language.

 

My wife growing up in Chicago, sounds like a midwesterner and can most certainly give me a tongue lashing, often deserved I won't deny.

 

This girl ain't shy about showing her maturity to put this boy in his place if required!

I'm meeting extremely immature women in Thailand when I date.

 

Is that the culture? Some are fun to be around but I can't imagine introducing any to my family or doing something serious.

 

Best I describe it is immaturity, giggling, kind of a shallowness of character or superficiality. Or, is it a language issue where nothing serious is discussed because the language is not there?

 

Anyone else have this problem?

how old are you and where are you meeting these 'dates'

It could be an age gap issue.

 

I'm mid 50's and dating women in the upper 20's to 30's. I may be picking up more on the immaturity as I get older that I did not notice when I was of a similar age.

 

However, for similar people in the USA for example, they seem much more mature then Thai's of that age.

 

There seems to be something about the Thai's that's immature or kind of "ditsy", for lack of a better term.  I don't see it in "really old" people though.

 

adjective: ditsy

1. 

INFORMAL

silly or scatterbrained (typically used of a woman).

"a ditzy blonde"

You're in the wrong country if you're looking for "normality" and "sophistication". Now of course, I see a fundamental contradiction when I see a complaint about poor communication and immediately afterwards an admission to lacking the skills to communicate.

To help you out, we need more information. What's your age and what age are the females you're dating? Are the females you're trying to date interested in you for love, or only support? How much do you pay these ladies to date you?

 

Age makes a huge difference. Why are you leaving out the most important details? You sound very immature yourself.

There is a big difference between Thais who have studied and lived abroad versus fully local grown talent. Thai Chinese might be more mature as well on average.

I'm realistic about my dating prospects. I'm not concerned about the maturity level of any young ladies. I'm 65, and getting long in the tooth, so any possible dates I could get in Thailand are financial transactions, unless I was targeting women near my age. It pays to take a long hard look in the mirror sometimes or take a closeup photo. There's no need to be embarrassed about getting old - it's the circle of life, but you need to be realistic about it and ask yourself: "Why would that pretty young woman be interested in me?".

Very good point

 

Right now I think I'm stuck with my old Thai bird, for better or worse.

 

But honestly I don't know how guys do it in our twilight years.

 

I really couldn't be be bothered with the effort, and 'Handula' would be my default girlfriend

 

And seriously, don't fool yourself, jf she's young enough to be your daughter just give them your ATM PIN number and get on with it

We both left immaturity in the rear view mirror decades ago

I understand that. After years living here however, I'm increasingly finding the immaturity a turn off and an irritation. It seems like they can't be serious (without being mad or gloomy) for want of a better description. So it's either immature shallow stuff and 'stupid happy', or the other extreme of mad no talk, etc.

 

The other thing I don't like that kind of goes along with the immaturity is the pinching and play slapping stuff. Can't stand that unless it's only once in awhile.

 

I'm even seeking non-thai's more and more and only wanting to date foreigners because the maturity level is so much better. 

Your age ballpark (eg, <30).  I agree with above but to each his own. 

 

The fake pinching and playing gets old quick.  If you are just out for a romp or a casual relationship then really doesn't matter much.
