Oh Sparky! The delusion runs deep in you, as does the endless need you have to peacock and try to make someone...anyone...believe you're not as common as dirt. An homme du monde, a guy with a 137 IQ (online...LOL), the world's premiere expert on all things Thai, blah blah blah...such is your desperate need to be a contender. Your need oozes out of you like pus from an infected boil, but infinitely less appealing. Getting hit on in Bangkok is as rare as a losing lottery ticket. Next thing you'll be boasting about is that some 'wise and astute' Indian chap walked up to you on the street and said "Good Sir, you are a very lucky man". Wait! Maybe the chubbies heard the 'legend' of you making a whole 5000 baht in a single day trading, as you boasted in an earlier attempt to impress the peanut gallery here. Sadly, if all you get are the 30+ chubbies, that constitutes epic failure. Then again, are you even sure the women didn't have a hidden Y chromosome? If a foreigner still walks upright and doesn't look as if he's 6 months pregnant, it happens every day, usually with 20-25 year old women. It's part of Thai politeness in most instances, and economic necessity in others. It's an easy way for females to engage for fun, maybe test their English.....and might get them some sort of monetary reward. Since you're seemingly in Bangkok for the first time, get yourself a temporary gym membership. Young Thai women spend their time at the gym taking selfies (making sure their thoot is well shaped) and hitting on foreigners who are not a week away from the box (unless like the beloved Bob, they're sporting a genuine Rolex or Richard Mille). Reality will hit you---unless your self-delusion does run as deep as the Marianas Trench. It happens to EVERYBODY. It happens now with increasing regularity as the economy slows. It's the exact same thing that drives some quite intelligent and lovely young Thai female university graduates to take on a sugar daddy old man politician or army general, or even end up in an agogo in Nana, Soi Cowboy or Patpong. Walk around Sukhumvit or Silom or even Siam Paragon, and you can see Quasimodos, even DJTs (had to add that, just for you), strolling hand-in-hand with a lovely 22 year old. It's a sad display of mercenary behavior in increasingly hard times; it ain't "love", though like you, Quasimodo/DJT thinks, "Finally women appreciate what I have to offer, unlike the 'feminazis' back home". Save your regular and habitual butt hurt response to my post and go look in a mirror. Fix the cataracts first. You ain't that special. If you were, it also would have happened while in your Economy seat on the budget airline flying into Suvarnabhumi.
