Yesterday at the bar I got into a heated debate with a local thai man. He was adamant that farangs aren't allowed to find fair skinned thai women attractive and that we must stick to the brown variety.

 

I couldn't believe my ears and neither could he when I told him that I no longer find darker skinned thai women all that attractive.

My tastes have evolved since moving here and he wasn't happy about that.

 

Seems we farangs (at least in the eyes of thai men) should only date who they think we should be dating. Anything else is unacceptable and incomprehensible to the thai male. I explained that attraction is subjective and can evolve over time but he was having none of it and stood firm..

 

I think it goes without saying that I won't be taking his advice and will go for what I am attracted to, not what some washed up old Thai bloke thinks I should be attracted to!

I couldn’t care less what other people think about me, what I do or do not have, they can go eat their shorts for all I care.

Bob gets chatting to some idiot in the bar. Said idiot espouses his own, personal view on a matter. Said idiot now represents all Thai males.  
 

You really need to change the record.

Way to go bob. Don't you stand for any of that local patronizing rubbish. And if he doesn't like it, then show him your wallet, your bait and tackle, and that everything else of yours is bigger, better, faster and stronger than his.
 

You are now an ethnocentric modern man in the hub of hubs with only the most refined tastes. Been there, done that, seen and tried it all. So you stay away from those darker ones FFS. You now deserve only the best quality that the Land of Vertical Smiles has to offer matey!

Dark chocolate does get a tad bitter after a while...

 

But milk chocolate is always nice and sweet!

Don't insult the chocolate. I've gone completely the other way. I haven't befoonked an Asian in many months. I've moved over to the darkest continent. Once you do, then it's hard to go back. Those lighter colors are so boring and pedestrian now. It's that high contrast monochrome framing that you are looking for. Ole!
