McGinty Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'll probably get hammered into the ground for saying this.......but I'm saying it anyway I think Foreign men with Thai girls look odd together, kind of mismatched. Whenever I see Foreign couples together they look so right and comfortable and ease with each other and the same when I see Thai couples together.

Heng Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 IMO it's not how they "look" that is mismatched... I know plenty of interracial couples who are perfectly matched. If anything, those who are truly mismatched are the ones who are mismatched on a socio-economic level: these are commonly the couples where one person is more like a maid or prison cook and/or the other the stereotypical walking or homestay (for the really old/disabled/handicapped ones) ATM for the extended family.

Cuban Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I believe that there is some element of truth to the idea that we all contain a little bit of Julius Caesar's breath. With people living within one nation, over a period of some hundreds of years it is fairly certain that their ancestor's blood-lines will have crossed each other a few times, so to be 'pure' anything is really bordering on being inbred. ("Extremely low genetic diversity and resulting poor sperm quality....") Genetic diversity is the key to survival of the fittest, the greater pot bellied farang with his small brown wife are likely to produce successful off-spring. The pairing might look odd to your eyes but nature welcomes the resultant children - cross any races and you do end up with beautiful people. For Example. As humans we tend to start pairing off based on looks - all the children from mixed marriages that I have met seem to be growing up with this advantage.

GuestHouse Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Perhaps the OP has simply observed miss matched couples who happen to be of mixed race. If it is true that the basis and beginnings of a significant number of Thai/Foreign relationships differ from the basis and beginnings of general Thai/Thai or British/British (insert any nationality/race of you wish) relationships then it is not un reasonable, racist, or redneck to observe the outward appearance of these relationships. That would simply be an observation. But also, and the OP needs to consider his part in this. It is also the case that "observation" and certainly 'Comment' often has an impact upon that which is being observed (a whole branch of Scientic theory attached to that) ... So, the OPs needs to perhaps accept that his observations and his comments may be playing a part in the apparent missmatch he is observing. Perhaps the couples he observe are uncomfortable, because and only because he his observing them. I myself suspect a mixture of both of these issue.

scotwumman Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Are there that many people who want to be couples of any kind these days. The people who look most comfortable to me, remembering that I am only a visitor in Thailand, albeit a frequent one, are the ones who swan around solo.

tso310 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 In the words of the great poet John Cooper-Clarke I fell in love with an alien being whose skin was jelly - whose teeth were green she had the big bug eyes and the death-ray glare feet like water wings - purple hair I was over the moon - I asked her back to my place then I married the monster - from outer space The days were numbered - the nights were spent in a rent free furnished oxygen tent where a cyborg chef served up moon beams done super rapid on a laser beam I needed nutrition to keep up the pace when I married the monster from outer space We walked out - tentacle in hand you could sense that the earthlings would not understand they'd go, nudge nudge when we got off the bus saying it's extra-terrestial - not like us and it's bad enough with another race but fuc_k me, a monster from outer space In a cybernetic fit of rage she pissed off to another age she lives in 1999 with her new boyfriend - a blob of slime each time I see her translucent face I remember the monster from outer space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I feel that if there is a big age difference then the couple often looks mismatched.

Huey Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 While The OP probably has some issues about interracial couples. I will say many of the farang/thai "couples" you see here look mismatched, not on merit of their race, but on merit of other features like insane age gaps, one is hideous while the other is attractive, or mabey the girl is dressed like a hoe and is walking around with some guy that looks like he ran straight down to Nana after leaving the office and barfined her like 20 min ago. These types are always a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The pairing might look odd to your eyes but nature welcomes the resultant children - cross any races and you do end up with beautiful people. Not only do you not always end up with beautiful people, sometimes you end up with relatively crippled economies despite vast natural resources (like say Brazil and Mexico).

cobra Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) .. I feel that if there is a big age difference then the couple often looks mismatched...Agreed, a large disparity in age is likely to draw more attention than an ethnic mismatch.

wolfmanjack Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 .. I feel that if there is a big age difference then the couple often looks mismatched...Agreed, a large disparity in age is likely to draw more attention than an ethnic mismatch. I have commented on this before after a bout of people watching at the night bazaar. The huge mismatch in age is only part of it. The thing that i have noticed, not only here but in the USA as well, is two ton tonies married to 40 kg girls and vise versa. The looks department is not to be missed either. As in fairly decent looking blokes walking with butt ugly girls and girls that should be a model in a magazine with some hideous looking guy. These are the type of mismatches that i have noticed here in thailand but i also noticed them in the USA. Not as much as here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
