zaza Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 OK! Here is my outrageous rant There is a freshly-new handsome young Danish man in the establishment I work for he started working a couple of weeks ago with us; and ever since he has started working here; he got it all smoothly and so easily for him, he got all the local staff :helping-showing all the ropes-facilitating-translating-feeding-tour guiding-insighting-enlighting-filling forms-applying for credit cards-pampering-bringing coffee to his desk!-over and on and only for................HIM I don't want this kind of services; I can depend on myself somehow to get around most of it. But I can't stop comparing the difference between our starts(me and him),by my time when I started with them; I never had any of the above mentioned easily; I always had to beg-ask-plead and rattle to get their help if I need it.(And NO- don't assume I am a bitch in the office;so I deserve what I got: I do have a pleasant social personality in real life though ) I am hel_l jealous now of his status in the office;although; we work in a complete different separated work-assignments but still in the same room. I know it's not his fault! In fact, we get along perfectly well together, but I can't stop being envious! I am a farang too(falang-this one is for you-gallo-garro ) so; wth; is this a new kind of discrimination going around here? HUH???????? I had confronted the local staff yesterday of my ""jealousy-rant"" and they've said: am not blonde as him to be regarded as a farang! OK! if this is it : THEN:I will buy WELLA -EXTRA-Golden-blond hair color and dye my hair and will use colored-green or blue contact lenses and I will see if me turning into a white Caucasians' farang looking woman; things would change in my office or not? Will I be treated like a god too or not? Good on you ""falang men"" here; you got it all ;IMHO
barky Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 It seems you answered your own question. You've got almost nothing in your favour. Your not a man, nor western or at least white skinned enough. If most of the staff are women, then can't you kinda put 2 and 2 together?
ShugNorris Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) It was only a rant but I wouldn't be jealous, this guy sounds like he's living the dream, you should be happy for him. Or... spread a vicious rumour that he is in fact gay. EDIT: Jealous - Always gets me Edited August 6, 2008 by ShugNorris
lifeisrandom Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Physical attractiveness is something highly valued in the world, and even more valued in Thailand than it is in the West. It sounds like thats the problem. Plus, as always, it seems like Thai men are too shy or uninterested to show farang women any love, whereas it sounds like the ladies in the office are drawing straws to see who goes first.

PoorSucker Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Men from the north are good. It's that simple.
cynthialee Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 is it the men fawning over this danish stud or it is the women? its a fact of like very few got charisma, this guy got it, you dont!

There was only one IT Thai lad when I did start working ; he was helping me until he resigned a month later, because the other female local staff were bugging him and mocking him because of that ........
ozsamurai Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 This sounds like my elder sisters, you know when we were young we didn't have as much freedom as you, we didn't get the cool toys like you, you're spoilt... to which my answer is Thanks for wearing the parents in....by the time I got there it was all smooth sailing. So that's what you were perhaps, the first draft! You can take solice in the fact that your hard won knowledge is a far better education than what is being done to him, at the end, he ends up clueless really since they did it all for him.....touche!
zaza Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 is it the men fawning over this danish stud or it is the women? its a fact of like very few got charisma, this guy got it, you dont! I have the charisma but I don't have other characteristics that he has such as being not ""handsome"" enough
cynthialee Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 charismatic doesnt mean handsome. bill clinton got it.
PoorSucker Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Sounds like you fancy him Oh, and vikings rule...

Absolutely spot on with that answer
koheesti Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 It sounds like petty jealousy is eating you up from the inside. If might help to realise that there are probably some things in life that are easier for you than they are for this Dane. So you're even.

That is right I guess, I was the first pioneer non-local staff here. When the 1st Korean lad came in ;he was married ;so all were disappointed. Then the 2nd Korean man joined in;also was married but he enjoys playing around out in the wild not in the office so both were ruled out. Then; there was the Japanese lad who is hooked up with one of them now but he didn't last too long before he was taken; so I wasn't able to notice this kind of (Special Privilege) that is given to that lad. There were other men-staff from other Asian countries ;but all had not been blissed with such pleasures.
donna Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 i think that he doesnt necessarily need to have anything, zaza. just the fact that he is there may be enough. you are gorgeous anyway, and dont need to have to deliver coffee with a smile to get a bloke.
cynthialee Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 zaza you looking for a man? are you a man also? im kinda lost.

Not many people have the confidence to admit they look like a douche bag , I'll give you that. Cheeers
