OldChinaHam Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I don't like getting involved any more, like I used to. So many, many headaches, Every night it seems, sometimes. Years ago, I would always be seeking to find a girlfriend who I could be close to, but things get so complicated when the relationship gets beyond the friendship stage. Now, I am just trying to keep it more simple, and just stay plebeian friends with the girls I meet. I always these days tell the girl that I go for dinner with, or for a snack or cookies, That I have already been hurt too many times by past relationships and I need to keep our future relationship strictly plebeian. But sometimes what I have found is that the girls may be looking for more than this and they just loose interest after the first few meals together. I think they are looking for more than just a friendship relationship. I am thinking that maybe I should just join an organization which specializes in introducing people for strictly plebeian friendships. Also, I do know of some places like church groups and choir groups in my home country where it is expected that relationships will never get beyond the friendship stage. And anything more is strictly frowned upon. I have friends who play golf and they have caddies, for example. And it all stays strictly business with them, too. So what is the consensus here? Are plebeian relationships between men and women possible in Thailand? And, how to find the most rewarding ones that will possibly last a lifetime. Thank you.

Popular Post TheSpade Posted September 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2013 ple·be·ian /pliˈbēən/ Noun (in ancient Rome) A commoner. Adjective Of or belonging to the commoners of ancient Rome. Synonyms noun. pleb adjective. vulgar ??? Perhaps you mean platonic? Yes I'm sure it's possible. Most Thai's hang around in big mixed groups and aren't necessarily dating so why couldn't a Westerner and a Thai female do the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman71 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Try joining one or more civic type of organizations like the Rotary Club, volunteer charity groups, etc. There you will are more likely to meet people (women) who are truly interested and genuine in something that matters outside of getting hooked up with a wallet. If you're meeting women in all the standard farang male spots, well, you are likely to find what you claim not to want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sustento Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Plebeian 2. Of, belonging to, or characteristic of commoners. 3. Unrefined or coarse in nature or manner; common or vulgar Are you sure that's what you meant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exsexyman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 OP, you say that what sometimes you have found is that the girls just lose interest after the first few meals together. Perhaps they just find the conversation less than stimulating! Could this be possible? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petertucker48 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Is " plebeian" is right word for this article. Noun(in ancient Rome) a commoner. • a member of the lower social classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Arkady Posted September 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2013 There is no reason why a Western plebeian man should not have relationships with other plebeians, particularly Western plebeians, male or female. Just go to Pattaya and you can see plentiful examples of this type of relationship structure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Bit cruel to say it, but .... hilarious malapropism from oldchinafart . No wonder he's hiding. Good idea not to lay down the first thing that comes into your head on ThaiV, but we've probably all been guilty of that at some time or another. Plenty of plebian relationships between Thai girls and foreign men here - not so many platonic! Why come to Thailand for a platonic relationship?

wolf5370 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Maybe you'll get hurt less if you keep your relationships Patrician instead of Plebeian. Plutonic relationships are of course possible - anywhere - it depends on what the parties want out of their relationship and whether the other roles are already filled or not. I have plenty of Thai female friends here, but being married and faithful, the relationships with them are plutonic - I would suggest if it was otherwise, we probably would not be in any kind of relationship.
