Loz Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Sitting here in an internet cafe next to the owners son aged around 8-9. He is always here playing games. His Mum is sat behind him running the shop. Except she isn't she has 4 friends huddled around her pc VETTING farang on dating sites and dismissing (LOUD ENOUGH FOR HE AND I TO HEAR!!) them on the basis of "has no money", "won't give you money", "stingy". day after day I witness this "Factory" approach to farming funds out of happless farang, while supposedly seeking true love. It has begun to wear on me, hence beginning this thread. What proportion of the population view farang as "Social Security"? This links to another point about dating thai women. The point being, if they are actively seeking a farang, chances are good that they are farming them for funds under false pretenses. I find this a bit sickening. I know its a bit high handed, as I am not a target/victim or whatever, but the concept just erks me. Amazing Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiasurfer Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 In fact only a small proportion of Thai women see farang-men as a kind of "Social Security". But of course this is the most "visible" proportion of Thai women because of all the bars, reputation, etc... Most farang (especially tourists) don't get an inside view from other parts of the Thai population. Maybe get your own Internet line at home if you feel offended in the Internet Caffee...

WOOHOO Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Look around you, the answer is right in front of you. The vast majority, over 99%, are with Thais and have no interest in Farang at all. What percentage of the minority is just looking for a meal ticket, who knows, I guess it would be quite high. I think you're wrong however, sugesting that because someone is actively seeking Farang that automaticaly means they are looking for a meal ticket. Some Thais will just fancy Farang and vice versa. I always liked asian women growing up, yet have friends who don't find them attractive at all. Edited April 25, 2010 by WOOHOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 self ranked endowment status.... hmmm sounds like a recipe of honest answers I raised this because I live in a little village near Korat and this out of the way little shop seems like a hot bed for the kind of goings on "SOME" members would have you beleive only happens in the big tourist areas. Anyway, It was just a sad moment. It passed. Atleast thai women know what they are good for and play to their strengths, be it short term (more honest in my view) or long term. Girl in the pizza shop spok very good english to me the other day. I asked her where she learned today when paying my bill. She was Squirming with embarassment until she finally confessed she had lived in Australia. Why so ashamed? I mean, maybe she got a scholarship to read for her PHD at a university there. Why should I automatically assume she shagged her way there and came back with enough cash for the cheeky little Vios she drives around in. ANother "woman" there has just got a new (red plate) mazda 2. One doesn't have to guess too hard as to how she paid for it. Obviously it was from serving pizza. in our quiet little village.

Loz Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) I was the black man driving the benz. And I used to care way too much what people thought. THats a large part of what led me here. OBVIOUSLY I didn't know it was worse here. But there have been compensations. Anyway, I don't really care. I was feeling provocative. My bad.

GuestHouse Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't know what the big surprise is here - Just look around you. As someone pointed out Thailand can't be accused of draining the west of the cream of the crop. The evidence is in the myriad posts guys make about Thai women, something along the lines of how here in Thailand they have a wife/girlfriend who is young, beautiful x number of grades up the ladder from what they might have at home. Of course these beauties are attracted by the charm, good looks and personality of the Farangs they are with. On another front, back in my single days our office administrator had a habit of recommending "lovely, reliable, honest, trustworthy, all round good Thai woman" - This was a regular thing and only came to an halt when I suggested that she might recommend a few "lovely, reliable, honest, trustworthy, all round good Thai woman" who had not recently been dumped by their Thai husband/boyfriend with the offspring of that relationship needing a father. Nothing wrong with taking on such a responsibility, in truth doing so is something to be admired - But nevertheless, the Farang as a Welfare Option is a real reality that drives many Thai women to seek a foreign husband. It's the money stupid. Which if nothing else is good reason to hang on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
