Time To Liven Things Up In This Forum

[peter991]

I have unashamedly lifted this from a Thai Blog site. It is written tongue-in-cheek for Thai girls, but makes interesting reading if you have or are hoping to get a Thai bf.

The DO's:

Do hire a private detective for a few days, it could be money well spent.

Do get suspicious if you find names to the likes of ‘Ning’, ‘Nong’ and ‘Nat’ on his mobile, they could more more than just friends.

Do cook for him and eat together, he would much appreciate and enjoy having a warm family.

Do show the upmost respect to his parents, as they arent going to be too happy about you at first.

Do learn some Thai, you Do want to verify from his friends his weekend seminars upcountry.

Do dress politely, your sexy tops will not be to his grandmum's liking.

Do Do the housework, he would very much prefer a wife that loves her new place.

Do try to stay at home as much as possible, he likes a family being together.

Do get up before him and cook his breakfast, he will love you for that.

Do put on sunblock when you go to the beach, he doesn’t want you looking like a country bumpkin.

Do stick food in his mouth at times, he loves to be pampered.

Do be of a similar age or younger than him, you don’t want him to get bored of you.

Do ask him about his hobbies and interests, he wants you to take an interest in him.

Do ask him if the relationship is going to be a serious one, you don’t need him to mess you around just for his fun of it.

Do, if you get married, register it, you will be wanting to sucker the scoundrel of his finances if he runs off with a new girl.

The DON'Ts:

Don’t drink too much and definitely Don’t smoke, he wants you to look presentable.

Don’t even bothering arguing, he wants you to know who is boss.

Don’t get to too open-minded, he is still a little old-fashioned.

Don’t go out at nights, he prefers a girl that stays indoors.

Don’t get too possessive, you Don’t need to irritate him too much.

Don’t marry the guy just cause he has loadsa cash, you may be one wife of many in the future.

Don’t talk about marriage straight off, you Don’t need to frighten the poor guy about the finances involved.

Don’t try to outsmart him, he wants to feel that he is the one with the ‘leadership’ qualities.

Don’t go telling his parents about your past boyfriends, they want their son to marry a ‘nice innocent girl.

And finally

Don’t answer back if he tells you off for forgetting to wash his socks, he would prefer an obedient wife.

Comments, anybody???

Yep.. that's the bf allright.!

[PeaceBlondie]

If I have a next boyfriend, he won't be marrying a wife. I don't make coffee or wash windows.

[jdinasia]

Perhaps that was written for Farang girls? Thai girls would likely know the language ....

^^ PeaceB... does that mean you don't have a bf right now..?

For some reason I thought you did..

[Considered Opinion]

Perhaps just this week that is true Chris.. at lest until Wednesday... :-)

[PeaceBlondie]

Chris, I've had one b/f since July 2003, but I don't think we'll be celebrating a second anniversary. I don't need a live-in. I've been holding on to him as an old-age disability insurance policy, and that's not necessary. He's a wonderful guy, but I think I'll call it quits when I get back. Hope he doesn't read this forum....

[zarzuela]

From my own experience...

Do's:

Show interest in Thailand matters such as politics, economics, blah blah... really, it works. This way you can show him that you are interested in the world surrounding him.

Try to learn some Thai words and phrases... he will find it hilarious.

Do show respect for the buddhist religion.

Do make sure that your body odor is nice.

Don'ts:

Don't criticize the Royal Family.

Don't criticize his own family.

Don't compare your country with Thailand, unless you compare the weather.

Don't speak loud.

In the case that your mother tongue isn't English, as in my case, try not to speak your language with other people (especially guys) if he is around because he won't understand what you're talikng about.

Any other advice?

I've found talking about politics is a big mistake. A lot of the sweetest people here have the most bigoted notions about Burmese, Laos, Muslims in the South, etc., etc.

"Ditto" I am with a Thai guy 4 years younger and I follow all the rules as listed. Boo is the one who needs a head examination. Previously I was with a guy 17 years older than me, it lasted 18 years thats 16 years longer than I expected.

True. My Chiang Mai boyfriend thought that Thaksin Shinawatra was totally right to kill all those Muslims, and the b/f was pretty anti-Muslim himself. I got him a passport and then there was no neighboring country he wanted to visit. And you'd both have to be very advanced in the same language to carry on a meaningful political conversation with ANY Thai, if you could find one that wanted to do much more than get your opinion of G. W. Bush. We discussed Thai politics a little bit, but he was basically pro-Thaksin, and little more.

I'm still not sure that Thai b/f's who date farangs really want someone in their own age bracket. If they get a farang who doesn't smoke or drink much, and earns 25,000 baht per month, and doesn't fool around, that's quite a catch. Some Thai men say, "Thai boyfriends no good for me."

lindsaybkk, copy the correct list before critising me ok, & good for you if your relationships last whilst you follow a list of ridiculous rules (the ones I copied), my marriage is working very well thanks without the need for me to lose my personality or be someones slave. But hey, if you feel you have to keep your man by any means, then go for it.

[DdS]

I agree with Boo!

Do - be yourself.

Don't - have to act like someone/something you're not.

Compromise is fine, but pretense will only end in tears.

Notwithstanding cross-cultural issues, it is still possible to find 'the one', so you're better off waiting until you find someone who loves you for you...warts and all (figuratively and/or literally! as the case may be).

[LindsayBKK]

Some people like to do things the same way, I like to try a little harder cause it works and I like to improve the "gay image" that others see. I have only had 2 relationships 1st was 18 years and now 5 years. Have fun at the bars boys I'm having a romantic dinner for 2.
