I hate comic books.

i love comic books.

you are probably reading the wrong ones.

we are boring to take on double dates.

Funny...that's exactly why I don't get into long-term relationships with Thai women, except for short time hook-ups

Me thinks, you are drunk!

I gave up long ago trying to figure what women look for in a man.

If you go the route with a western women, it all too often takes the form of: - you're a little wild, unpredictable, exciting - at first.

When the honeymoon is over and you've been moulded into what she wants: - bingo, suddenly you're boring.

As for Thai women, I've only known one intimately but having known her and women of several other different nationalities, I drew the

conclusion that women are quite similar in their basic outlook, regardless of race or creed.

...proverbial nail on the head there...the BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME for *ANY* man is trying to figure or find out what a woman *REALLY* wants (goes for *ANY* nationality) ...Life is short, if healthy, we have an unlimited amount of "dating" so just do it until you cant afford it anymore or literally boom-boom yourself to death (i.e.; marry) Law of averages with above philosophy will bring you a partner for life if one eventually desires/chooses such a demise One annoying thing I learned (experienced) and can count on is Thai (err, Pattaya) girls ***NEVER*** ***EVER*** keep a promise . My experience also tells me Thai girls of all stripes look for a kind heart, either to raid the farang bank account or is enough for love all by itself because their Thai boyfriends have beat the s**t out of them one too many times.

They do, but it's pretty much along the same lines as "why don't gals from Beacon Hill date guys from Dorchester?" Yeah, you'll find *some* that do.

Ah, but would they venture out as far as Stab and Kill?

Is that a new club or something?

Isn't there a limit to how many smilies one can put in a post? If not, there should be.

10 in total actually including those in quotes from previous posts (like the 8 above).

(anymore and when you try to add your posts you'll get a board message)

Savin Hill ... Stab and Kill.

You may have already beaten this thread to death and I'm chiming in too late... but here's my 10 cents worth.

I have quite a few friends in Thailand... male and female. I've also always managed to have quite a few friends in other countries I've worked in as well. I don't pretend to know how women think... but I do know how at least most of them I've met feel. Number one... they don't want to be thought of as a piece of @$$, conquest or looked at like a buffet the first time we see them. When I'm married... I'm married... I'm not a hungry cat on the prowl everytime I see a female. I always try to be genuine and care about what they have to say. We talk, we laugh, we tell jokes and I look them in the eye. The same goes for making Thai male friends. When the wife and I go to other people's houses, or clubs or have people stop over to visit. I genuinely try to hear and understand what they are talking about, I also steer the conversations away from me. Many people assume that because we're farang, all we want to talk is farang stuff... I guess the number one thing that we need to give Thai ladies is our respect. Many falang, even me, when I first came here to visit was under the false notion that all Thai ladies and families wanted a farang. I was surprised to learn that Wow.... many of them, don't.

I've always made it a habit that when the wife and I go visit, we do as the others do, I don't get a special seat at the table. I don't get special "farang" food. I make sure that they don't have to inconvenience themselves because of me one iota. In fact, the last time I was home, my wife said that the neighbors asked her to tell them when I went down to my mother-in-laws, so that they could come over to visit with us. She said that they told her they liked it when I came home, because I would sit and talk with them and that I "didn't act like a falang". whatever that means. I know little Thai, so it's not my jokes. I don't buy drinks the whole time... I'll cover my share, but I don't buy any more or less than anyone else. My wife said, and I was shocked... she said that they liked me more because "I didn't make them feel dirty or low class and I eat Thai food". I talk to them like equal ,or even better than I, because I say Ma'am and Sir, excuse me and shake hands, and wai. I repeat a lot of what they say in Thai and ask what it means, I try to learn and they like that, it shows them that I'm listening, and trying to understand. In fact... I spend more time with Thais than I do falang when I go home. I have a few falang friends and we get together ocassionally, but for the most part, I stay with our family.

Maybe my post is way off base, if so, I'm sorry for wasting your time... but that's at least my view of the situation...

Ach so, thanks.

My contributions, for what it's worth:

• My wife has a BSc/MA and worked for the local Gov't tax office as a supervisor. Working with her were around 25 girls and three or four men. All the girls were very jealous when she found a farang bf and almost all have asked me for an introduction. Very few of them have Thai bf/husbands and nor were they looking.
  Ask me what they really want and I would have to say, I have no idea! A husband from somewhere, I guess.
  
• I lived for many years in Germany with a German gf. When out and about my lack of German language made me very boring. Eventually I learned enough to get by and my circle of genuine friends expanded accordingly. So did my drinks bill.
  

Ach so, thanks.

if i am reading the OP correctly the question is what I can and never will be able to offer a thai woman. Simple I will never be Thai.
