Top 10 Misconceptions Farangs Have Of Thai Women

[Ulysses G.]

How to get two girls in bed at the same time is valuable advice in any language!

[daoyai]

I always have fun of living because sex is not the main reason people live their life.

Quite right. There is also good food.

Quite right, you need to "fuel the tool".

[bigbamboo]

LOL!.............. Women are no different in Thailand to anywhere else, it's all a question of degree. Sure some girls who work in bars, massage parlours whatever may be sincere but they're rarer than honest Thai politicians. There are good women to be found in Thailand but most farang are too stupid to find them.

I'm sure it is - but its not going to happen with 'normal' girls who are looking for a genuine relationship with somebody they love.

To look on the bright side though, there are definitely a number of girls who are more interested in money and are happy to do anything - if it increases their chances of making more money.

When I was young and poor, I worked some evenings in a pub to earn extra money. However, NOBODY thought for one moment that I was 'looking for paying customers - cough'.

Unlike here. It is understood in the UK that most young women working in pubs are doing so to earn extra money, even though they have a full-time job elsewhere.

Love is much over rated.

100 year ago nobody marry for love anywhere in world.

Love is just modern Hollywood film fashion, not real, not important.

[GreenSnapper]

I am one of thai women who been trying to educate foreign men. I know there are many foreign men who see it nonsense but I am still insulted, gossip behind etc.

You're right and you should feel insulted. I'm constantly trying to educate my fellow westerners as well. But most of the time, it's like talking to a wall.

How romantic!

The White Knight and the Virgin....

[cjustice]

Number 7 is not too far off the mark.

i had a american wife for 27 years, i think that if i wouldn't of supported her and the kids she would of left me for sure, don't all women from all countries need security,,, i think so , so #7 to me is not correct

[Wallaby]

Thai women, western woment, women from anywhere in the world are all the same....because each one of them is different. Generally speaking.

I don't know if I should be the one to tell you this but Thai women are not the same as Western women. 1. They are shorter. 2. They use deodorant with skin whitening bleach in it. 3. They pluck the hair under their arms. 4. They don't use tampons. 5. Their hair is different. 6. They have a different tolerance for heat and hot peppers. 7. They believe in ghosts. 8. They have a different tolerance for cold. 9. They take more showers. 10. They have different shaped eyes and noses. 11. They like the smell of old crabs and fish. 12. They eat more rice. 13. They have darker skin. 14. They have less hair on their legs. 15. They wash clothes by hand. 16. They like to eat different vegetables. 17. They buy fish with the heads on and eat the eyes. 18. They eat bugs. 19. They eat the feet of chicken. I could keep going on for an hour but sooner or later we would get to the Hans Christian Andersen thing and you would get angry because I got into non PC areas. I could give you a thousand examples of Thai women being different than Western woman. Outside of the posters on Thai Visa who came to Thailand for, employment, food and culture the rest of us are here because Thai women are different than Western women. Your father should have told you this but maybe he never visited Thailand. I first read Kipling when I was a child. He told it true. This is not a recent phenomenon.

I guess you didn't understand my post...........'because each one of them is different' = 'All women are different'.

[corkman]

Looking around Pattaya last month, I'd have to say numbers 2 and 3 are not myths.

I'd like to add no.11

11. Thai bar girls and non-bar girls are different.

Initially, maybe not, but once you get the girl out of the bar and she stops being a rent-a-girl and starts becoming herself, no longer under contract to "perform" the difference is negligible. Everywhere in life you get lazy freeloader user type people, and honest-to-god hard working genuine ones...... once out of the bar, she will be on or the other..... just like the girl who works behind the counter at 7-11 or the Hilton.....

add another:

12. Thai girls, and Thai people are of a completely different mindset and cultural disposition; attempts to make them conform to a western notion of "normal" are futile and contrary to the whole point of getting involved with an Asian girl. Accept the differences, reconcile them, then live a happy and easy life

[wandrinstar]

Is he from BERKSHIRE..They look like the correct conceptions to me.

[chops]

I totally disagree. No woman is going to stay with a man if he does not offer her money. That is because women have no sex drive.

[creck]

I totally disagree. No woman is going to stay with a man if he does not offer her money. That is because women have no sex drive.

I cannot get through life without a bit of generalisation, prejudice, and other forms of categorising people. All this means is, that I accept that a lot of traits are common in one set of people and rare in another set. For example, I never met a European who enjoyed chicken’s feet for a snack. But I also accept that each person I observe/meet is unique and I may discover (and generally enjoy) this interesting facet of their personality before long.

The thing I am worried about, is the poster who recons that Hollywood invented love 100 years ago! (They may have invented the sex symbol but not love) Books were written about love long before that. Mistrals were singing stories of love... I am sure that personal love is something that evolved to assist in the upbringing of human children. Generally, it holds a family together, increasing the chances of a successful new generation. Maybe part of it is learnt ‘socialised behaviour’ but, none the less real for that. I feel sorry for someone who has not felt it.

I feel even more sorry for the Guy (?) who thinks women have no sex drive. That is not a generalisation I would make. I have enjoyed my life and sexy women have been a part of that. Sorry if that sounds like a boast, I believe it to be true generally, of most men.

[Ulysses G.]

Some women DO have a strong sex drive and some don't, but it is different from a mans.

Duty, Honour and commitment (and money) is what hold family together (in past).

Love does not last, and now it become over-ridingly important, so when it end, the family also end in divorce.

Money not important woman take from man or state will provide, no need for woman support family if on her own.

Hollywood portray love as the be all and end all. Hollywood sell this to the mass of sheep we have become.

Watch any recent movie, always about love and a woman desire/want/entitlement. Love selfish only about ME and what I want. Never about family and commitment.

Now almost no marriage can survive the end of the woman love.

Yes, many book write about love before Hollywood, but everyone know book fantasy, Tv, movie far more convincing, much stronger effect.

Sex not all that important to many woman, only means to reproduce.

Once reproduce no longer require man, only he money or state money.

Don't need sex so much (maybe any more), don't need man hang around want sex all time, discard man.

3rd world different, state not support single woman, state not give man money to woman.

Need to hang on man, need his support, need his money.

Lose man, very poor, disaster for woman.

Ladyboy different, want sex same as man (is man)

Ladyboy give less problem!

Ladyboy better partner for man who not want (more) child.

I was trying to give you the help that you should have gotten at a young age. You are wrong. Look at numbers 1-19 and you will find they are applicable to the great majority of Thai women and not to Farang women. I guess one could say that because 2 out of 100 men don't like two women in bed that all men are different. And that is in fact the basis of your argument.

In a great number of areas all Thai women are the same. If one does not know this then he has not been with a great number of Thai women.

[kerryk]

You would be correct if you substituted, "something she wants" for the word money.

[OlafStapleton]

In some way ALL Thai person very similar.

Generally men more feminine, generally lady more manly, where else you find ladyboy and so many gay and lesbian.

Many lady sexual predator (violent and aggressive), many men very soft and compliant (and pretty, look good in frock).

Attributes all mix together.

And good choice to take Thai ladyboy to Sydney Mardi gras especially for short man.

I love your irony. Or your sarcasm.

Women hate sex. And they only want money.

Problem is, irony is completely wasted on this forum.

[EnhancePlus]

Women do have a sex drive and are generally more perverted than men. I could tell a story or 2

[DowntownAl]

That's what I told the bank, when I was looking for a loan, and they called the security guard over to menace me until I pissed off quietly...

[Shotime]

Since being off-topic doesn't seem to matter here, and Olaf is still allowed to comment, I'll stick my neck out.

Anyone under the age of 50 (or older) shouldn't make comments about "love" or "sex-drives" or lack thereof, or Ladyboys for that matter. Stick to that totally absurd sport you all "love" so much. Futbol. At least it's not harmful.

Anyway, let us know what you finally decide to get her for her BDay.

Sorry. Wrong topic, but they all seem to blend into one another.

[unanimosity]

Here is all you need to know. Drop a couple hundred or a thousand baht on the floor near where you get dressed or do your paperwork so it looks like it fell from your pocket and might have been overlooked by you. When you come home do you believe it will still be there? Do you believe it will be handed to you with a, "Honey you must have dropped this I found it on the floor?" If you believe this you will believe the list is made up of myths. Now, who among you has the cajones to face the truth with the one you trust?

[thaibeachlovers]

In my case the sex drive lasted till she got a bigger house and a flasher car ( mine got traded a week after I moved in with her ). She also wanted a baby sitter for her kids. Took me 5 years to realise I was a sucker- was I ever naive!

In most cases however, the biggest sex killer is children.

[thaibeachlovers]

I am a midl-class thai woman living in northern province

1. Thai women don't like Thai men

I like them as long as they are taller, smarter, richer than I am

2. Thai women are not concerned about a man's age

I am very concerned about the age of my spouse, He must not age over 35 and not younger than 25

3. Thai women aren't concerned how a guy looks

I am very concerned about their looks. As I mentioned above, I like taller guy he must be 185-190 in height, neither bald or fat

4. Thai women allow their husband to fool around

Once I know that he fool around, divorce will happen next day. Using dirty man with another woman is unacceptable

5. Thai women working as prostitutes in Thailand are sold into the industry by their family and are indentured slaves

I don't know , I am not prostitute and still virgin because I haven't met the guy who deserves it.

6. A foreign man marrying a Thai woman has to pay a sin sot (dowry) and support her family forever

Not only for foreign men but thai men also and thai men accept it as it is tredition.

8. All Thai women are available for a price

I am not available for a price, because I accept only long-lease contract ( marriage-certificate )

9. Thai women don't have the same employment opportunities as men in Thailand

Yes, We don't have that opportunities in specific career such as millitary or something machinary but now we have female priminiter, who cares?

Given that all men will become old and many will become fat, I hope you inform all prospective suitors that you intend to divorce them later in life for these flaws.

You are available for a price ( marriage certificate )- it's just not cash. Your choice of "long lease" makes me think that you don't regard marriage as life time commitment.

New Zealand as had a couple of female prime ministers. I believe Shipley wasn't much ( I wasn't there during her term ) and Clarke was a disaster. As for Thatcher in the UK, less said the better. Just being female does not make one a good PM.

^ Of course off tangent to the OP but this is probably the # 1 reason in any culture. Thais are not excluded. Things change both mentally and physically for her. As a man, you have done what you set your own trap into doing. You built the nest, surrounded the nest with all the acceptable trinkets to draw her in with. You displayed you could afford to support and protect her. Your mission is complete. You won your mate away the next available bachelor!!!!!!! . Now have your offspring and afford and support her. US humans are no different then any other animal on this planet. We like to think we are but we are not.

Us humans have made this an emotional scenario using LOVE as the main ingredient for it's success. The Cinderella story. The Knight in Shining Armor. The Protector. It just does not work. Olaf made some reasonable comments about Love.

As for marriage and the "Until death do you part"....well that is an unrealistic expectation that sets both parties up to fail, and most do. Most never make past 10 years, 25 tops.

What I find funny is the man who marries over and over. This totally dumbfounds me. Did they not learn anything?
