Just a fact of life, as locals can relate more to locals than any others. Thai women can marry whoever they want but reality of living here and having someone you can readily talk and relate to is a lot easier than adapting to another culture entirely. Millions of farm families living together as a working unit is the majority of the population and is what the country's culture is. More marry foreigners each year because of a possible better life, but the large majority still stays with their own.

Most Thais don't speak much English and can't marry whoever they want because they only mix with locals. 99% of the locals are Thai outside Pattaya.

Thai women don't like Thai men much at all. 90% say they are bad!

You meant, of course, 90-percent of men are bad.

Because of cultural and family dynamics, most Thai women prefer their own. Just easier to relate. Thai women can marry whoever they want, as meeting others in this media age has them interacting with millions of men around the world, yet they still prefer their own culture.

Millions of men? Most Thais up until age 30 have no contact with foreign men apart from Burmese, Lao and Kymers. Thais don't like them. They start dating white after their Thai marriage fails!

It's not that 90% of men are bad. Most just don't make good partners for women, whether it be abuse, control, laziness, inability to relate or listen, not wanting to share household duties, help with the children, providing, cheating, or just not having priorities straight.

There has been social media for a long time, where people can meet around the world, then visit after talking. Guess you missed that over the years. They start dating as soon as they're legally allowed, and talking before that.

There have been foreigners in Thailand for centuries, with many more coming since the wars, and more so for decades of tourism now. Foreigners live in all major cities and hundreds of villages for a long time. There have been English teaching foreigners here for decades also, along with some of their friends having foreign dads.

Gossip has more wanting a foreign man when they see their friends have more than they have, but they'll still be dating locals, and many will cheat with locals and not other foreigners for that same reason. Relating.

Most Thais are too poor to travel, hate the other local asians and don't speak much English. They also work 5 to 6 days a week with other Thais. They go to school with other Thais. Most white men are 50 to 85. So of course Thais aged 18 to 30 will marry Thais.

Mostly Thais over 30 unless bargirls.

Relating is why they prefer other Thais. Very easy to understand. Nothing to do with money or working. They can meet foreigners of all nationalities, creeds and ages online. Every Thai has a phone from a very young age, especially the younger crowd as it's the way a lazy parent uses it as a babysitter.

1% or less of the demographics. Basic math that most Thai women can't marry them. Walk around Korat and count the white men.

I agree.

Although, this is an inconvenient truth that most people try to deny.

Men are Hunters and Golfers, and also carousers, at heart.

Not suitable for partners for women.

Strangely, in America, women are now beginning to transform, as much as possible, into men.

Square pegs in round holes.

Why would a 20yo want to date a 70yo? Only money. No real other reason. Most white teachers are 25 to 70. A 20yo is mixing mostly with 20yos. I never liked Asian women until age 25.

You're still missing the point. Thai women prefer Thai men.

Walking around any city has anyone seeing foreigners.

Again, there has been social media for decades, and they know how to find men if they wanted to. Curiosity and gossip has many girls thinking they might want a foreigner, but they'll still be dating locals, the largest majority of them, along with marrying them, as their family for the most part wants that.

Some greedy parents, who have also listened to gossip and seen what a foreigner can give other girls, might want a foreigner for their daughters, which translates to what they can get also, but it's still a minority. This is a fact, and you wanting to argue just to argue isn't going to fly here. Done here.

You're missing the point. Dating is mostly age related and demographics.

Age Gap Range	Percentage of Couples
Same age to 2 years apart	~51%
2 to 3 years apart	~20%
4 to 5 years apart	~13%
6 to 9 years apart	~10%
10+ years apart	~6%

Most Thai women aged 30 and under have no interest in 40 to 85yo men!

White males under 30yo are very limited in numbers!

I'm posting facts. You live in a fantasy world. You're 69yo and forgotten that 18 to 23yos have friends and partners in the same age bracket. Given that 9/10 of their friends are Thai or nearby Asians it is obvious that most will marry Thai!

So here we have the entity that struggles to write even a single coherent sentence now inanely challenging others on their use of diction. Industrial strength lunacy, that is. Being at the top of your ignore list really did have its benefits.

Ranting aside, the OP is correct when you should have used 'replete' and not 'complete' in your rather overblown critique.
