Lopburi99 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 My wife wants me to help her 25 y/o daughter "find a good farang man like you" by using the internet. It's interesting to observe my conflicting feelings about this topic. After all, I am thankful some friends helped me find my wife by introducing me to her. On the other hand, I know of so much crap and deception which often goes on at either end that I just don't want any part of it all. Would you/have you helped in your family? Good idea or not?

ozsamurai Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 In as much as finding a man there is nothing wrong with it I feel, but I would bee sure that you have no responsibility for how the relationship works out, otherwise it will be your fault "John" was a deadbeat or like.... I wouldn't go there Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonrakers Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Does the daughter want somebody to find her a good/any man? Perhaps she is happy as she is. Has anybody asked her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmushr00m Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 No way, especially not by internet. Its one thing if you introduce her to someone you know, have met, can do background checks on or can threaten but some complete stranger on the internet??!!! Just point her to the story of the girl who met someone on the internet, met the guy at the airport and ended up in pieces in the klong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopburi99 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Does the daughter want somebody to find her a good/any man? Perhaps she is happy as she is.Has anybody asked her? Yes, she wants me to do it also. But I'm not convinced of her motivations, because she isn't even trying to prepare herself by seriously to learn the language. Personally, I think it is just another case of seeking a ticket to go from rags to riches. If my instincts were otherwise, I might consider helping.

apetley Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I get asked every now and then if I know any nice farang. I always say that I don't know anyone good enough for her. Easy way out and goes down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiangmaibruce Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well someone has beaten me to it and mentioned the big problem with this request - what happens if the relationship doesn't work out ... I think many of us living here would have been approached directly or indirectly by someone who "would like to meet a farang". I have never had any pressure whatsoever though. It generally comes to me via my wife, and usual we just chuckle and say or do nothing. We have certainly never gotten involved in match-making. Other times I suggest that my wife talks to them and make sure they have some idea as to what they might be getting themselves in for in terms of cultural differences etc - and feel free to use me as an example! Usually she doesn't want to get involved. If they are educated people and quite serious I sometimes suggest they read something like Thailand Fever (book) to try to get some idea as the scope and nature of differences. I suspect they never do - just going along with the soap opera fantasy view (of farangs and farang wives) is more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I have found that good farang men usually turn into bad farang men once they realize what they can get away with here. The real wimps take a while to get it through their heads that they are not in Kansas anymore, but when they do, they are sneaking around shagging anything that will have them and rationalizing away. I always tell Thais that I don't know any good farang men that live here, and I am being totally honest! Edited August 12, 2009 by Ulysses G.

Boo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've been asked a couple of times by women in the upper 30 to 40's age bracket. They usually have grown kids & are looking for, well I dont' know, but I am pretty sure love plays no part in it. I tell them that farang are the same as thai. Good & bad everywhere & I wont be responsible for her getting a bad one. They seem surprised to hear that not all farang men are dripping in gold & atm cards though. The concept of the 2 week millionaire has never occurred to them before I explain it. Sounds like a lazy girl to me. Wanting step-daddy to do all the work. Stay out of it cause you will get the blame if it all goes bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are married to this lady and you think that your step-daughter,who you played some (small) part in bringing up, is capable of the crap and deception?...maybe your answer lies in the need to "educate" your stepdaughter a little more in the ways of decency rather than the norms of thai culture... Either that or you have a problem in sharing the limelight with another farang... Come to think of it you should look on the bright side...you could be the first to make a killing in REVERSE SIN SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
