    Yes. At 50, single dad with four kids,  I really had my heart set on marrying a per-menopausal, overweight mother of three......but as they kept knocking me back I had to settle for a 23 year old Thai

  • I came for the women. Better to be honest about it than live in denial

Never been to a girlie bar. Does not eat Thai or Isaan food. Never been to a muay thai gym or stadium. No Thai friends. Can't speak Thai. 

 

You really are a hermit :cheesy:

 

 

Says the bloke with more thumbs down in posting in history...........:cheesy:

 

Plus, you have to tell lies to try and impress the folk who give you thumbs down, it is sooooo funny.....:cheesy:

"Can't get a woman" you ask.  hmm.  well it certainly is easier to get a date in Thailand.  Is that getting a woman?  Is that getting a soul mate?  Is that getting somebody you really want to have children with and that has similar background, experiences religion as him?  Is that getting someone that you can talk to about life, philosophy, maybe technical things or cultural things you both grew up with? I doubt it.  But as one gets older, one sometimes compromises.

Western women are shallow too. Blokes mostly talk about sport, alcohol and women.

 

Deep conversation is rare.

I don't know about "can't get women back home" as I could and did.  But having never married and belatedly wanting kids, finding a much younger woman was essential and that would have been impossible back 'home'.

I tried a lot of dating in the Los Angeles area.  Whoo boy.  Not much cerebral went on there.  And this current generation is so material based, I want this, I want that.  They can't imagine walking a mile to a friend's house as we did as kids.  Writing a letter?  Short conversations on a dial phone instead of constant thumbing on x or twitter or whatever

Most women are like that.

Well done. The power of the wallet. 

Which is Universal.

I'm sure that's part of the reason that many move here. At 75, women are hardly a factor anymore, though I do have a live-in companion 25 years my junior. The position that men who have difficulties with women are flawed, is elitist and smug. Face reality. Not all men are wealthy movie stars who are six feet four inches tall.

There are a LOT of men that come here because they have no game and this is like shooting fish out of a barrel. 
Just a random made up number but I'd bet 60% of these guys have never been with a woman before this

I would query the 60%, but there are obviously those who have never been in a relationship before.

It doesn't have to be deep conversations.

But some women are so stupid it drives me nuts.

Just a decent level of intelligence is required.

Some men don't care too much, as long as she has a nice body.

But I can't be with a vacuous idiot for any length of time. I can't do it.

I would have thought that was the same where ever you come from.....🤗

i'd say most men here probably date / hang out with / marry women far more pretty or beautiful than what they could have in their home country... or the other way around, pretty Thai women can be seen dating foreigners who back home wouldn't be able to have a girl that clean... why ? I'm not sure. But that is a fact. If you like SEA women style, that is 

Better reverse the topic and ask why young thaigirls looking for older foreigner.

Well..we all know why.And its nothing about love.

Is it true that foreign men often move to Thailand because they “can’t get women” in their own countries? Whether it’s due to age, appearance, income, personality, or just bad luck, it seems some might come here to reset that playing field.

 

If that’s the case, one might view these men as taking advantage of economic inequality or social dynamics. Others might say it’s a win-win, two adults finding mutual benefit in a relationship.

 

And then there’s the question no one really asks out loud: even if they could date back home in the West, would they even want to? Or do many men now simply prefer being with an Asian partner and living in Asia instead?

The answer is pretty obvious

Maybe I'm a little odd, but I kinda get off on that spark of equals.

 

My wife is actually smarter than me, better education she's got a Master's I'm just a humble BS.

 

Sometimes when we get into it, it somehow often ends in sex.

 

I know it sounds like the scenario for a porn movie, but hey it seems to work for us

Well the thing about relationships is that it's incredibly subjective and everybody has their own baggage and issues and preferences, and that's what makes the world go round. For me I really enjoy having harmony at home and though my woman is very smart it's more of a practical intelligence, which I love. The women that I've been with in the past who were highly intelligent were also highly neurotic, had a lot of baggage, a lot of issues and were incredibly difficult. I have plenty of friends to exercise my intellect with. I realized long time ago it's not something that I need to do at home, for me there's way too much downside associated with that.

The answer is  ......... welfare .........

Our western governments pay women not to have sex or serious long term relationships with us.

 

There's nothing more to it.

If the Thai government paid welfare to their single moms, we wouldn't be getting sex here either.

Dating in a major Usa city these days is incredibly difficult unless your the captain of your college rugby team. Think office cocktail Christmas party in a big lonely city where you get laughed at for approaching (if you had the balls to initiate) and where going home alone is the norm.

 

Even if you manage to score serious dates, a win in itself, they are likely to be interview type dates, not romantic type dates. Several of those follow before there is any hint of intimacy and you are likely to get "ghosted" should you be bold enough to try anything. You would be lucky to even get a hooker to put out without ripping you off on the way home.

 

Women really do hold the stick and carrot there these days for an average man in major Usa cities. Most guys are so desperate to grt laid that they become "simps" in every situation with women which makes it even harder to grt laid. If you are middle age or older it's even more difficult and many guys simply use hookers, but end up getting robbed or setup by the police as it's very illegal in the Usa and they setup stings or traps for prospective "john's". If you do find one to hold still it's typically a very rushed mechanical experience, often not even bothering to remove clothing or say anything at all.

Did you think that it was?

According to red pill doctrine, coming to Thailand to get laid it’s just beta bucks for betas with less bucks.
 

That’s not my belief.
 

But since so many women chasers here are steeped in the red pill, I would be amused to hear exactly how they square that circle.

I went to a job support center here in Toronto. A youngish barely 30 year old woman took me in her office. "OH, you lived in Thailand!!!". "Oh, you own a condo". "Oh, you are MARRIED". 

 

Suddenly I got game. I have a private follow up session at the coffee shop this Saturday. 

It's not that I couldn't get women in the US, never had a problem with that.

 

Now Asian women, well talk to my wife about that, I think she totally gets my asian persuasion thing

 

But never really had any interest in woman seriously younger than me, that would just be too tiresome.

 

The idea that I would introduce a girlfriend to my my kids of the same age would be awkward and weird.

 

So I'm fine with my menopausal old Thai lady, as crabby as she can be

Dating isn't so hard if you go to places you're interested in. That's where you'll find others with like interests, which is a big factor. There are good dating sites you can join where you can put what you're looking for, like Thaifriendly here without the greediness, lies and old pictures.

 

You have to look for someone that's close your your attraction level, as they're more independent there and not all about money, especially in the middle aged and higher crowd. There are good matches all over that no man needs to feel desperate about.

 

Your ideal match doesn't take BS or extra cash. You need to be realistic in your choices. If you're fit and a workout person, a gym is a good place to meet, seeing it's another like interest and lifestyle. There are a lot of very pretty women that don't get asked by anything but the aggressive men they can see coming a mile away. If you're not a workout person, better to look for other mutual things and someone more your style. The older you get the more you're usually looking for a partner, and that'll get you sex if you don't come off as obvious and desperate. Not so hard if you're a decent man, as you'll be noticed if you don't stay home all the time.
