Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?
I still remember the first time I landed in Thailand, feeling simultaneously excited and nervous about the tales I had heard. Friends and travel blogs seemed to portray this country as a magical place where every corner sparkled with the appeal of the “Land of Tens,” and it was impossible not to be swept up by that initial sense of wonder. I arrived in Bangkok bracing myself for its energetic nightlife and colorful streets, thinking it might be exhilarating to date someone who could be considered a “10” by popular standards. Yet that excitement came with a subtle warning sign: what did it really mean to chase after the most stunning person in the room, and could it overshadow the possibility of forming a deeper, more authentic connection? During my early months in the city, I found myself gravitating toward people whose style and appearance turned heads wherever they went. The rush was undeniable. Going out meant dressing sharply, fitting into trendy bars, and snapping photos that wouldn’t look out of place in a glossy magazine. At first, I loved the attention that came with dating someone who radiated that “10” quality. It made me feel like I was thriving in Bangkok’s dynamic social scene, but I quickly realized there was a flip side. My partner attracted so much interest that I became uncomfortable with the constant competition for their attention. I also found myself under pressure to meet their social expectations, which often meant expensive nights out, curated online personas, and an unspoken need to keep everyone else at bay. With time, I wondered if the connection was based on genuine admiration or if it was more about the novelty of a foreigner fitting into a particular lifestyle. Eventually, I met someone through a mutual friend who, at first glance, I might have considered a “6” compared to the people who exuded that perfect polish. They weren’t the kind of person who would command an entire club’s attention on sight, but they had a quiet confidence and a warm sense of humor that drew me in more than any flashy exterior ever could. When we started going out, everything felt natural—our dates were spent exploring local night markets, sharing jokes about Thai soap operas, or driving around to discover the best street food stalls. There was no need for pretense or constant competition with a line of admirers lurking in the background. Instead, I found myself getting to know the real person behind the surface. I learned about their job, their hometown, and their family, who lived a few hours away and were delighted to have me as a guest whenever we visited. That grounded approach brought me closer to Thailand itself. Rather than skimming the glossy exterior that tourists often see, I delved into the culture in ways I never had before, including learning a bit of Thai and practicing the local customs. The sense of trust we built was profound, and I felt far more secure because our relationship was rooted in something beyond appearances. Their friends and family welcomed me kindly, and I discovered a true sense of belonging. This was a stark contrast to my previous relationships with “10s,” where I often found myself trying to keep pace with the demands of a lifestyle that didn’t really resonate with me. The difference between chasing the idea of a perfect partner and finding a real, compatible person became glaringly obvious. Beyond personal preferences, I also learned about the importance of cultural nuances. Dating in Thailand can feel like navigating uncharted territory at first because there is a distinct emphasis on family ties, respect, and societal expectations that you might not find in the same way back home. It’s one thing to share a table in a glamorous rooftop bar, but it’s another to share an evening in a small town, joining a family gathering and truly absorbing local traditions. My partner, who had grown up with these values, helped guide me through them. We laughed through our miscommunications and found that making genuine efforts to understand each other—whether that meant using more Thai or discovering new foods—bonded us far more strongly than outward appearances alone could. Reflecting on these experiences, I realized that chasing a so-called “10” can be alluring but sometimes clouds the judgment of what truly matters in a partnership. Looks and glamour might initially spark excitement, yet they often come with social pressures, trust issues, or even cultural misunderstandings that are harder to navigate. On the other hand, dating someone who might be labeled a “6” can allow you to connect on deeper levels, free from the weight of constant external attention. You learn to appreciate the daily rituals, shared laughter, and humble moments that give life its richness and remind you that long-term compatibility isn’t about ticking off boxes of physical perfection. Indeed, the scale of attraction is subjective; my “6” could be another person’s “10,” and vice versa. Over time, I found that authenticity, mutual respect, and shared values outlast the initial allure of superficial perfection. Ultimately, there is no single right or wrong way to experience love in Thailand or anywhere else. Every relationship, whether it’s with someone who appears to be a “10” or a “6,” carries its own complexities and rewards. My journey taught me to look beyond appearances and embrace connections based on kindness, humor, and cultural understanding. The person who starts as a “6” might become your “10” in all the ways that count once you form a genuine bond and a mutual appreciation for each other’s lives. If anything, my experiences remind me that the real magic of dating abroad lies not in numbers or categories, but in the willingness to learn, adapt, and open your heart to unexpected possibilities. -

His sentence for his criminal act of theft is a different matter . The point was that he was being held for theft , he wasn't being held for no reason and he wasn't being held with demands for his release , which means that he wasn't being held hostage . He was jailed for theft -

And you remember all the previous lies they've told right. I mentioned a few just yesterday. Given the fact that this site won't allow anything other than western reports (aka propaganda) the actual truth will never really be known- 1

I have repeatedly informed you I am not a socialist. However, I know Americans from posts on this forum and others, (if you are one) have a rather distorted comprehension of the "left' Again, as I have posted a few times I vote either centre left or centre conservative depending on manifesto.- 1
