How to talk sense to a Thai Woman.

[ChrisB87]

Well, i have consulted with a specialist (my girlfriend) and she says, "you should just let her do what she wants and pay cheap"

she has continued to make the claim, "maybe she's a good girl and doesn't want to spend your money"

Don't look for that book in the reference section. "Understanding Women (Thai or otherwise)" is in the fiction/fantasy section.

From a woman's point of view, just stay out of it, you can't win. Let your wife make her own decision. As others have already said it is only hair, and hair will grow back.

My only suggestion is to take a positive approach to convince your wife how nice she looks in certain clothes or how she does her hair. Then, leave it up to her to make her own choice. If she changes her hair and it turns into a disaster then she will realize her mistake. At that point just be supportive and don't rub it in.

A wise man told me (I am male) 30 years ago that you can discuss a subject with a man, eventually you will agree on a suitable outcome, this is generally called logic.....now try that with a female, although you (male) can prove beyond reasonable logical doubt that your side of the discussion is 100 % correct, you will not win based on the assumption that you (male) will be not spoken to by said feemale, and put on a 3 month suspension in sexual relations... .cheers jimmy

Yep - positive reinforcement is the way to go. You look beautiful in that dress, wow you should be a professional chef, you're very strong to be able to live with a man who cheats on you.

My TW likes to patronise her local beauty shop that uses cheap local/Chinese products and I object as you do and we compromised by her buying the ingredients from a named,branded shop and take them to the local shop to get it applied.

Came out good and the compromise made us all feel better and she didn't loose face with her local shop.

Funny you should say that. Laying in bed this morning i said to my wife ''Darling it's your birthday soon so lets go to Robinsons and you can choose some new clothes and shoes, and some new perfume if you want '' No; she says; '' I want to go to Big C and get clothes there and we will have lunch in the food court while we are there '' Well; who am i to argue ?

Friends seem to use the freindship as an excuse to do you a bad job and because you are friends the complaints dont happen as no one wants to offended or offensive, never ever use a friend for anything here.

This is not the way it works in Thailand.

They never suspend sexual relations, because they know a short distance away is a younger and cheaper one.

I talk sense to my wife all the time, and have done for many years... how much of that she takes in or takes notice of is a different subject altogether.

You shouldn't have mentioned the shoes. That's bad luck. You told her that if you had to spend a lot of money on her birthday, then you were walking.
