Help finding girls

[Scarpolo]

I was looking for a girl friend for my nephew, and I found some strake forward ad's on Craig List Thailand, also good around hospitals and university's. and on the internet. Good Luck, retired with Thai wife in Thailand.

If he wants to meet educated Thai women he will most likely need to meet them abroad, most likely at a foreign university. A Thai degree isn't worth the bog roll you just wiped your backside with a threw down the loo.

I married a Thai girl I met in London due to a similarly misguided / over-simplistic view. Having subsequently moved to Bangkok I wish I had looked for a wife here instead as there more choice of girls I would/could date (and therefore more chance to find a good match from one of them).

Thai universities are indeed awful (with a couple of exceptions for particular courses at 1 or 2 unis) but I'm not sure I understand the relevance to this topic... I don't envy any of my mates who married girls they met at Oxford... and I don't want to lower the tone of this intellectual thread by talking about Cambridge girls!

Poor Cambridge girls.

The OP is looking for an educated girl. If you know where to find them and mate within 2 weeks easily then let us know. Except though existing contacts as he doesn't have any.

Indeed there is about 35 million women here so the choice is indeed bigger if you can meet them. They don't tend to hang around tourist areas.

Plenty of females in bangkok claiming to not have kids and not be married, all seeking foreigners, imagine that

I really can't comment on where to meet the perfect lady, but I take great exception to your comments about Thai university degrees. What you are saying may, just may, apply to some Thai universities, but most certainly NOT to all of them. May i suggest you google for the best 100 universities in the world and you'll be surprised to find in that list three Thai universities (Chula, Thammasat and Mahidol). Khon kaen university as well as Chiang Mai University and Mae Fah Luang University in Chiang Rai, are also considered first class universities and their degrees are recognise worldwide . May I suggest tha5t before you make statements of such nature you get yourself properly informed!

My housemate had done engineering at Chula and was way behind the UK standard when he did his masters there. Basically was still the same as a second year student. My wifes cousin did art at Chula and is as employable as Vicky Pollard.

Forget these internet 'dating' sites.

They're just extensions of the bars.

Wall to wall hookers plying their trade, looking for a mug, in spite of what the 'players' will fantasise about out on here, telling everyone about the 'educated good women' they meet and bed from these sites every day.

Disagree. There are many prostitutes plying their trade on the internet dating sites, as well as using the more obvious escort sites. But there are also many non prostitutes who use the dating sites. But, they are looking for romance, marriage and a partner for a better life. Not all are easy looking for casual sex, and not all are prostitutes.

I've yet to meet one lad who's met a girl online who'd not have been better off financially getting in a bar and cutting the BS...

"Online dating being a good place to meet non prostitute women in Thailand" is the Urban Expat myth of this era.

I actually agree with both you guys. But sending an inexperienced newbie into a Thai dating site is like sending a sheep into a wolves den. He's being led to slaughter, albeit, with a smile on his face.

Some advice for the newbie:

If she's average/below average looking, older, maybe some kids, and has a "real" job, maybe ok.

If she's got the sexy thing going on (read skank) and will sleep with the guy inside of two weeks, 100% that....how should I say...it ain't love.

But of course, the dude won't take my advice. The first girl that drops her skirt and he'll be in la-la land. He'll then be writing to Stickman to ask why she's always asking for money and why he can never contact her.

Using your analogy of things connected to bodily motions - why do so many ignorant expats insist on talking out their arse when it comes to Thai universities, Thai degrees etc? That is, if they can manage to lift their arse off the bar stool long enough.

Maybe they should do some research - No, perpetuating the urban myths is easier. Yes, all the farangs here are so well educated, highly intelligent, successful, and highbrow. You can see just from walking round, listening and reading their erudite postings on social media

Ross - there are various internet dating and friendship sites your uncle may consider, although obviously he needs to be careful. Similarly with the "introductions" type of company, both farang and Thai run. But using these helps out with language issues.

How would he meet nice ladies back home? Get your gf to introduce him around, go places with him, look at social groups and activities he may be interested etc etc

I'm sure as an educated person he won't listen to all the advice from the bar stool guru's!

See above post.

The internet dating sites are perfect for a man fishing from outside the pond,

keep in mind, he isnt even in the country yet,

those sites are a great beginnning, and many non working girls use it, some, just for fun

Why have a load of skanks lined up as opposed to going to a bar on arrival and actually seeing the women face to face and go from there? Start from an honest footing as opposed to being full of emailed lies?

It's maybe a bit too much hopeful thinking since it's such a short time. My girlfriend was the sweetest girl in America but since I've been with her in Thailand I found there was a side that I never saw in America. For better or worse.

And sorry the resort question was sort d separate but if there was "two birds with one stone" scenario it could work.

Again. I'm currently in Thailand and have been for 6 or 7 months now. I think the best thing is that my girlfriend can smell a rat so him getting in some trouble would

probably be avoided.

Problem is beach areas like Pattaya and Phuket are full of bar girls and freelancers at nearly every place that serves alcohol.

Hua Hin or Cha Am might be an option

Koh Samui is more laid back to visit but it's primarily other tourists there, (bar girls there but not as many as other resort towns) the locals are pretty much all working their butts off in the resorts.

If you / he tries finding someone online at thaifriendly.ckm then look for someone location specific like Koh Samui, that might work.

Do share with us this new personality that your sweet thai girlfriend from america has, as, I have yet to see this dual personality played out yet?

did she lie about her background?

Thai friendly and many of the dating sites do have quality people on them,

you just cant rush anything there, and the one's that push to meet, are usually working

You just keep telling yourself that....say it enough times and you might start believing it...oh! You already do!

Quality women don't have any problems finding men in the real world....they don't need cyberspace...

Maybe thats Scarpolo with one of his 'always horny 'quality' women?

This is hilarous. I'm roaring with laughter when I should be working...

thats mean.

[HeavyDrinker]

You're quite right and I apologise....

[Scarpolo]

You're quite right and I apologise....

cool.

I was very nice to that girl, and, horny, is not a word I would associate with her, although clearly, if you asked her, she would certainly pin that label on me,

and why not, 32, slim, and a smile a mile wide?

I think that business, just busts horny right out of them.

no worries though,

I made it home with my emotions intact, and have TV to thank for not missing thailand ;-)

I was once a member of the "he man woman haters club"

we always stick together, when there aren't any women around

Of course you can find "quality" women on dating sites. Everyone knows this.

The posters disagreeing with you are idiots.

I agree, and, the last girl I met on a dating site, after dinner in chaing mai, asked me if I liked a girl in a chair or two down, and I said yes, why, and she said, I like her too, want to try and pick her up together?

that, was interesting, and, we stayed friends

I met a few others in chaing mai, even a western girl,

it can be done, but, there is never any chemistry that way

Mmmmmm.

I think you may be confusing quality with kink, but each to their own.

What do you mean "there is never any chemistry that way"?

Does she have an unmarried sister?

i have a few thai friends (female) who have turned to dating sites as they get to late 20s / early 30s

i'm not sure what you mean by "quality" but they are all pleasant enough girls with no major issues

(although obviously not the prettiest or most popular of their peer group)

they would be the type to "push to meet" but they are not hookers... they are just really desperate

You can also find "quality" women in Pattaya bars. But they're probably outnumbered by the "other kind." That's the point, isn't it? If someone (especially a newbie farang) goes to these dating sites thinking that all the girls are legit, he's going to be deceived. So the advice that some of these guys have given regarding the dangers of dating sites are probably much more beneficial than those that say "sure, these dating sites are full of quality women!"

[maybefitz]

My advice to him is to contact one of the large Private Hospitals ( they are full of well educated ladies who all speak English to a reasonable standard)

May I suggest that he makes a courtesy call to one of his fellow Medics at one of these hospitals under the premise that he would like to make some comparisons between the two countries health care systems ....once there he can fill his boots .....take my word they are filled wall to wall high quality females (most univerisity educated).....that's where my present gf works.

I totally agree with this contribution. I live in CM, and I am amazed at the talent in the local hospitals. Perhaps I'm biased; I've been happily married to an ex-nurse for 11 years. I was in the coffee shop at Maharaj hospital, waiting in fact for my wife visiting her brother - when I was approached by a very attractive nurse, asking if I had a girlfriend. I said I was waiting for my wife, she grinned - and asked if I had a falang friend whom she could meet. This was in excellent English and almost sorry to disappoint her. I have a friend who met one of my wife's nurse friends - they are happily married and live in UK. I recommend the idea of contacting a nurse.

[belg]

mmhh a good woman, and he only had bad experiences, welcome to thailand, they will love you long time, as long as you have money , honey

[slipperylobster]

Get out and network.... find friends who have good relationships, and hopefully, their gals will know of somebody legit. If you are looking for young, beautiful gogo dancers...then accept the curse that goes with that. Plenty of middle aged nice gals in Thailand.... Send me his email and I will have a few of my gals relatives (nieces) contact him. No promises, no money...just treat em good. Short on the english language, if that matters.

No, you're wrong. I got an email today from a guy telling me I'd won several million dollars. I wasn't deceived. Would you have been?

I used ThaiFriendly. At all times bar one, I initiated contact. I picked out girls within a specific age range who claimed to be college educated.

I then "friended" the girls on Facebook and checked them out. I made sure their photos showed them at work; I filtered out those who had "farang" friends.

I met one girl who seemed nice. She worked at an English Language Institute. On our second date we went to Central Lad Phrao and checked out the Apple store. I looked at the computers; she looked at the phones. As we left, I noticed the phone she was caressing and jokingly said "next time". She looked upset and muttered "next time next time next time next time". I wasn't deceived. She was from Buriram.

The next girl I met was great. She worked at a hotel in Silom. I gave her one of my private email addresses. I can do this because I manage my own server. A week later I got an email from a bogus finance company inviting me to invest. The email they were using to contact me with was the one I had given to the girl. I wasn't deceived. She was from Nakhon Sri Thammarat.

I met another girl. We went to one of those outdoor restaurants where the tables are fashioned from re-cycled ox carts. The girl told me how she encouraged her younger sister to date farangs because farangs were better at taking care. I wasn't deceived. I called the waiter and asked for the bill. I then got up and went to the bathroom. When I came back, the girl smiled and told me she'd paid the bill. She smiled knowingly. She knew I would re-pay her. But I wasn't deceived. I gave her nothing. I got a free meal. She was from Ayuthaya.

And then the impossible happened. A girl contacted me. She claimed to be descended in part from a Persian sultan. She said the sultan was buried just a stone's throw from her back garden. She said she had two university degrees and was a former model. She said her husband was an army captain who'd been blown up by a bomb near the Pattani - Yala border. We've been together for almost two and a half years.

Because of her, I have a new hobby. I wrote this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultanate_of_Singgora

ThaiFriendly works. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Full stop. End of.
