StreetCowboy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 ES1, I never mentioned it being strange to post on a message board. Read my post again & try to keep some semblance of relevancy to my post. Really, why do you bother? Why do you care? Think once, think twice, think "how can I stop him responding?" Straying back on topic, I was brought up a farang, and so I have inherited farang tastes, and the girls I find most beautiful, to be honest I could not classify racially - they could be dark-skinned gweilos or fair-skinned Indian, Thai or Chinese Anyway, does anyone else find the term "hitting on" offensive?

Boo Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 very true SC, thanks for the reminder to not feed the hate. "Hitting on" an offensive term? Not really, there are better ways of putting it I suppose but it is a general well worn phrase. I think nearly every western woman I know in Thailand gets hit on when out & about by men of all nationalities. Lets face it, most straight men like to get off with women & when you throw in drink & fun then chances are taken. Last year I had a very cute, younger Norwegian guy putting on his moves one night whilst out without Mr boo or the sprog. It was flattering after 10 years of marriage to have a good looking young guy pay attention & my group had a fun night drinking & chatting with him & his friends but before marrying Mr boo I dated across the thai/farang divide equally & never had a problem having western bf's or making platonic male farang friends. Of course I've come across the ones who think they are doing me some sort of favour by chatting me up, sorry for their egos when I let them know they can save their pity but they are very few & I usually enjoy having a chat with a farang (male or female), esp after extended periods in Khon Kaen where I am usually the only one around.

Chunky1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 ESL you say you want all farang women to leave Thailand and then claim you are indifferent to them? You don't see the contradiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHeather Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I doubt anyone would classify me as desperate. Or that men are uninterested in me. Where I do have difficulty is finding a man I am interested in. The pool of interesting, intelligent and attractive men is really rather small. Still looking for that Rock Star/Scientist/Austronaut/Pro Athlete eh? Plenty of those around. You are just not looking hard enough. I find it enlightening that you assume that interesting, intelligent and attractive men must be rock stars or astronauts. In fact, I was referring to the pool of men in Thailand, not all men in general. I find it rather sad when men in established relationships with Thai women try to pick me up, it shows a distinct lack of respect for not only their partner but women in general.

Read my post again & try to keep some semblance of relevancy to my post. Anyway, does anyone else find the term "hitting on" offensive? SC Out of all the things the easily offended can choose to be offended about and you pick that.....lol! There are literally hundreds of things to be offended about in Thailand if one were so inclined to not accept the way things work here. If you actually live in Thailand how do you even get out of bed in the morning without being offended to death? In fact I am quite certain you do not live in Thailand otherwise you would have never come up with that doosy! Edited March 1, 2011 by ES1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES1 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Well, I never had a problem meeting farang men whilst on holiday and having a laugh with them. And perhaps a bit of romance on occasion!! And I went to bars, and discos and go go's too!! There are some farang ladies that are tolerable because they do not bring a western attitude with them to Thailand and accept the differences here. Quite certain you are about the only one I see posting here who seems to 'get' it. Literally, figuratively etc. Can't say I have met any of these tolerable ones but never tried and don't hang out where ever it is they do.

Anyway, I really don't see a relationship between colloquial english terms and social injustices, thoughtless behaviour, poor infrastructure, poor education... no that's me exhausted now - anyway, I don't see the relationship with things one could take offence at in Thailand. But why one should be offended by those things, rather than sympathetic towards the people that must suffer them, I don't know. It must be dreadful being offended by such things, and yet trapped in the Venus fly trap - struggling to get free, but lacking the wings of international opportunity. Well, c'est la vie, as they say in England. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SBK is American you've got 10 hours ahead of you. Although, you can take breaks. Say, two 4 hour dates and then a quick meet up at the wine bar and you'll be good to go.

Patsycat Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) What a load of <deleted>. I go on holiday to sit on beaches and enjoy the fact that i am away from cold Europe. I bring my Western attitude with me and i "get it". Getting it does not mean that i accept it. But who gives a dam_n i am on my beach. Far away from my problems at home. I am on holiday - so i am allowed to go to bars, discos, go go's if i want. I worked and paid for my holiday, just like you. I don't like the fact that wassishame says that western women are not allowed in these establishments. What do i do? sit on the beach all day getting nice and brown, eat a nice meal and then i am sent to my room to watch tv? Whilst Macho Man goes out on the prowl??

yvonnemarie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 to the guy who doesn't want farang women here. Who are you to say that this country is only for farang men.

I'm sure that there are a lot of guys, both Thai and Farang, who prefer western women over Thai ladies, it just seems that you are implying that Thai ladies are not kind and honest. Kind of like a lot of the men on TV who assume that all Western women in Thailand are somehow flawed in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I agree Graham. I guess put it down to writing something in anger? There are indeed both Thai men as well as other nationalities interested in the farang women here. Some dont go for the Thai look. Most single (or even attached, just looking or otherwise) men who decide to move to a country, often do so with the opposite eye candy in mind. So goes without saying that those men who choose to live in Asia, are drawn to Asian looks. Just as those men who choose to live in South America, or Africa, are drawn to those kinds of personalities/looks. Some men are placed here for work, or have come for the culture and/or a variety of other reasons that doesnt involve the women. As we are all different, with different tastes, some of those men are not going to be into the Asian look. Ive known several men who were interested in all women they deemed attractive, just as ive known several men who were into Asian women, just as ive known several men who preferred western features etc. Everyone has their preferences, its just how far each individual takes them. Just would be nice if the negative aspect and stereotyping was left out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Depends on the person, actually. I know many long term successful relationships between western women and Thai men just like I know alot that don't work out at all-- same as with western guys with Thai wives. Making broad based generalizations based on limited experiences is usually not a good idea and something I try to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
