What Is The Professional Status Of Your Thai Partner?

[garro]

i pray to god that she is just an ex-sex worker and a sex worker can we please seperate those categories? i cant imagine what the guys being married to current sex workers are thinking!

joking ----

if you live in thailand she should already be used to people thinking she is a whore

Who wants to make a bet that this guy doesnt make it to 100 posts?

I'm with The Don on this one.

I hope you know what you are getting yourself into with The Don. Apparently he likes to wrestle naked with his male friends.

i come only with the truth. sorry if it offends.

all thai women with farang have experienced the looks at some point i would imagine.

so he is worried about how they might look at her or treat her

but

chances are she has already experienced it and does not care

the truth is

he probably is not as worried about how she feels about it as he is worried how he feels about it.

wifes are important symbols for men on the golf course, the last thing he wants is them joking that "bill has a THAI wife".

So The Don fights naked? Hmmm... Well that explains a lot... now i think i understand why people live in such fear of a snap-kick to the head from him; that's a psychological trauma than could break the strongest man!

Nothing like an objective and informed post with a solid reference to documented facts.....

Not being particularly enchanted by, endeared to, or enamored with females in the glorious "Land 'O Thais", or of the Asian persuasion in general, I have no (in)significant other to sing the praises of to the masses about how much she is a "good girl".

One would be lead to believe from the all too numerous postings on this forum; that foreigners here are married to and/or involved with only "good" girls. In retrospect if I had a baht every time a foreigner prefaced an introduction with the phrase, "She's a 'good' girl..", while beaming moronically at their gold encrusted, often tattooed and pierced, (in)significant other, henceforth referred to as their 'thai-in-tow'; without a doubt I'd have a sizeable sum now.

My observations both in and out of Bangkok of foreigners and their 'thai-in-tow', have shown me at least, that the number of foreigners marrying hi-so, medium-so thai girls is clearly in the minority and the "good girl" theory just doesn't bear up under close scrutiny. I have observed too many foreigners throughout the glorious "Land 'O Thais", who seem to pick the poorest, least educated, most splayed toed girls (with a skin tone I will not mention here). They are the proverbial 'farmer's daughters', (of which; in this country, there is no shortage).

While beauty is most certainly in the eye of the beholder; a person speaking even "two-word tourist thai" would quickly find out what the thais think about the mystifying foreign predilection and/or attraction to females that thais almost universally find unattractive or downright ugly.

So much for cutting edge demographic research.

Sigh…. The mind truly wobbles..

**PLEASE NOTE: this is a very tempered post as I am trying to adhere to the forum rules**

Can anyone tell me where to get one of these farmers daughters types. All i ever come across is goodlooking girls from good families with money to boot. Have mercy.

My missus is a quantum physicist, CEO of a genetic research facility, Olympic swimmer, and has scaled Everest three times.

But I voted "sex worker" just for a giggle. Well, we laughed.

[ade100]

OP again: Some very interesting results so far. More than half of the TV members are with professional Thais. Only a very brave and honest 16% have made an honest woman out of a once fallen one.

A few things to clarify. I, like many who have a Thai loved one, have accepted that some people may make jokes, point fingers and snigger. The people who know us and most of the people we come into contact with don’t think like that.

I was just interested in whether there was much truth behind the myth. All over Europe there are all sorts of stereotypes: “The Germans are boring”, the “Belgians are stupid”, the “French are sexy”…I found little evidence for these myths on my travels around Europe.

From the cutting edge research on this poll so far, there is little evidence that Thais are all either construction workers, hookers or maids…however I have met quite a few that are durian farmers and rubber tappers…:-)

[Dustoff]

Dunno..

I don't get this and I find it incredibly depressing that people respond to a request for us to publicly validate some kind of status of those whom we care most about..

The "Professional Status" of my loved one? Sex worker, common laborer, whatever?!?

"Hey children, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down.."

What kind of sad lives do we have if we feel the need to seek approval from strangers about our success in life by putting our personal relationships on parade?

Sorry, don't mean to bring anybody down but I think I am returning to listening to George Thorogood's "Who Do You Love?"...

"Keep on Rockin' Me Baby"

I wonder if Tito Ortiz (former UFC champ) really gives a sh*t that his current gf Jenna Jameson (multi-millionaire porn star) was a sex worker before he met her ! They travel and party with some of the most elite crowds in Hollywood so apparently alot of people really don't care about the degrading ways that some people have chosen to make a living as long as they got rich by doing it. I must admit that it is would not be my style of choosing a mate as I am not quite that open minded however I do find the subject of judging someone by what they did in the past rather than who they are now to be somewhat unfair especially to some of the girls that have had a very difficult life in Thailand due to lack of education and other hardships.

Right on - and anyone else for that matter..

As for myself, I grew my hair long and broke all the rules but my Mommy still tolerates me..

Still looking for the lazy shit option.

[HYENA]

Shirt factory labor and sales...on to "another" profession then beautician and back to the other profession. I believe many will have dabbled into the SW category but not have claimed it on this survey (Had you read the poll on how many University students had been paid for it and how many currently pay for school by doing so...?) I was surprised at the results.

This poll may be skewed because how many men would "best describe" their mate as..SW (versus naming former jobs, not seeing them as SW currently)? I could have easily said Beautician.

I suppose I could have snagged a highly educated professional but I rather like it this way. She is very grateful I'm not a boozer and abuser; more like the movie, Pretty Woman (sans limo). I figure why not seek from the poorest of Thais and make a bigger difference? To me, it's sad so many do sacrifice themselves for the benefit of family; the ultimate act of selflessness (unless they become jaded) 25 cents to 50 cents an hour isn't enough to live on in BKK with the economy now.

My wife is a nuclear physicist who used to be Miss Thailand when she was younger and her father is a former Prime Minister of Thailand who was well known for his money and business acumen. She is a good girl.

I love these threads...they almost make me want to do a Phd on the "psychology of anonymity on the www"..on one hand you have protagonists who may or may not be 100% truthful and on the other hand you have the antagonists who uphold the unwritten rules of forum social acceptance that you shouldn't mention anything about yourself or your situation/achievements that elevates you above the average common denominator of personal achievement in the forum, else you will be cast down in flames.

Since the poll is making a vague attempt to categorise Thai spouses, why didn't you include a "Nett worth before you met" section on the poll so you could really see what the foreign fella's are reeling in?

[geriatrickid]

In real life The Don isn't very big, but apparently when he has a naked man pinned to the ground it is hard to remove him.

Is that like cat and dogs when they copulate? Very disquieting image.

So anyways, back to the query, too bad there wasn't a description for "saint". I often wonder how some women would want to be with some guys. Sure we always hear how the ladies are this & that, but I've seen some fine specimens of male gutter scrapings. I wonder <deleted> was she thinking? Of course it doesn't apply to me since I'm a gem.

Honest.

I swear.

A gem.

She works the streets from dusk 'til dawn but I always take her back because some big guy above me told me to do so. Her name is Gomer.

TW and I met in Soi Cowboy near to 8 years ago. What she was then or what drove her into the situation does not matter, it's what she is doing now. Works for the government as a Puya Baan after completing her education as an adult student and extremely well respected through out the community.

Where do I vote?

Are half of you guys being honest with yourselves?

Only 2 out of some 20 odd guys I know living up here genuinely have partners that were not 'sex workers'!

I’ll have to refer you to bendix. He manages all the personal finance polls.

I was interested in exploring the stereotype which I suppose is that the guy is lacking in social skills or physical attractiveness. So yes I suppose I should have added a “How Attractive are You” section for the guys. That would have really got the flames going :-)

[samuibeachcomber]

Student, so I put Professional!! Only manual work she does is on me, and that doesn't qualify for catagory 4 as she ain't getting paid for it

nice one cyril!

oh yes she is....you are deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

ALONG THE LINES of a thai girl net worth poll i have an idea. how to you start a poll here. very explosive topic!

[soundman]

I wonder sometimes whether physical attractiveness is high on the list of priorities for many, or "attractiveness" is measured by different methods in this country.

you drunk soundman. doesnt sound like you the type to comment on superficial stuff. ya know the fun topics.

Besides agreeing with everyone who questions the value of these polls (no value at all as far as I am concerned) and despising many people's quest for being someone they are not, who cares what the Singaporeans think in the first place?

Cats copulating with dogs???!!! Not only disquieting but also against the law of the nature. The animals in your neighbourhood must be randy old buggers!

Where i come from the polite term for a sex worker is "professional girl" so many of you voted in that category I see. The poll should have been on what your partner was when you met instead of what they are now. Most of the former sex workers married to people I know are "stay at home" moms now with a few sidelines not the least of which is amateur gamblers.
