Jazz Bar, Patong Beach I went for a beer and got to talk to this cute, shy BG I bought her a drink, then use your imagination from there on.

We have now been married 13 years, to me it proves I made the right choice

i bought her a drink, she asked me why did i come to thailand and i replied to play golf she believed me,

i asked her how long had she been working, she replied 1 week and i believed her

been together 3 happy married years

[seonai]

so is it true then that a lot of men from Europe or the US prefer to come to Asia and choose a bride rather than go through the 'normal' process of finding a girlfriend in their homeland???? Just curious.

Like anywhere in the world you meet someone you love and well the rest is history - doesnt necessarily have to be Asia.

[opothai]

i don't see it as choosing a bride, people just get along after all it is a two way situation.

I had been in Thailand 6 years when I met the Thai woman I married, it was getting a bit too much travelling back to the UK to find the right girl, and I took the view that the chances of me finding the right girl during a two week R&R trip to blighty were slim.

That "normal process" faded away with the invention of the airplane;

not to mention that this entire planet is our "homeland".

I can only speak for myself of course but I did not come here to "choose a bride" but to spend the rest of my life in a country that soothes my soul. And here, quite unexpectedly, I found my soulmate.

Your response would seem to indicate that you are a Western woman? Just curious about what it is about Asian women that wins the hearts of so many "men from Europe or the US"?

Gentleness, grace, politeness, lack of beligerence while still able to express themselves, a willingness to give at least as much as they receive...

For instance, most Asian women would never be rude enough to propose your obviously biased questions...

Ouch.. I did not mean that to be as unkind as it sounds, but..

Those of us who came to Thailand and fell in love are something less than "normal"?

Thanks but, I don't think so...

Hey Dustoff,

Don't be silly. I have been married to Thai men twice!!!! In the same boat????? Well... open for discussion. No harm meant just chatting.

My own experience of western women suggests these are traits you can find anywhere, they are not merely found in Asian/Thai women.

However, it is to be remembered that relationships are a two sided equation.

[Ice Maiden]

Seonai - Some males just have prefrences for Asian women like you or me may have prefrences for other types of men. Each to their own

A gentleman will not be so rude as suggest that a western woman lack those things mention above...

you may did not mean to be unkind...but you were...

Glauka--a western woman who thinks that she is a gentle, polite woman, who is willing to give as much as she recieve and who will not lack belligerence against certain attitude or matters

It has been tried

[autonomous_unit]

Of course, some guys do gravitate to Asian-looking women (race fetish?) and a smaller few think they need a "real Asian" (culture fetish?). But, many guys also gravitate the other way too... I've known guys who clearly would only date a blue-eyed woman, or a red-head, or a farm girl, or a city girl, etc. as if they doing casting for some play engraved in their minds at birth.

I think it is funny when guys have such absolute preferences, just as I think it is funny when people try to paint every guy with the same brush.

Since we're mostly anonymous here, I'll admit that if I hadn't had an intriguing but ulitmately failed encounter with an Asian-American woman in university, I may have remained a mild bigot and not been able to let myself fall for my wife when I met her. As it is, I did and here I am in Thailand much to the amazement of everyone (myself included) who expected me to never stray far from my place of birth.

For me it was more like:

Me: You, you, it's your lucky day!! Khun, khun, wun nee bpen wun choke dee kawng ter

Her: Really, Why? Jing ler, tummai?

Me: Because, today I walked into your life. Pro(t) wun nee pom kao ma nai chee-wit ter

[BKK90210]

I know this might be old..but it's still good

I give her a dozen of roses, with a note...saying

"If you stand in front of the mirror with these roses...you will see 13 most beautiful things in the world."

Very cheeky hah?

[Tomissan]

What method did you use?

for me it was:

love at first site.

while walking past, she said, "Hom son kaen", where you go?

I thought she said "handsome man, where you go?"...

My friend just told me another good one.

"Do you believe in love at first sight? If not, I'll walk by again"
