success stories on thaifriendly.com

[Southerndrawl]

So does this mean that you agree with HD that all the women on Thaifriendly are "hideous and desperate sad losers therein grubbing around like soi dogs trying to find some free crumpet?" Is that your and HD's reality? You say thats not sad or cynical?

There are a few posts here from people who have met their GF on Thaifriendly and have success stories. I am happy for them, and I am happy as well with my GF.

A very sad and cynical post. Is that what you walk around looking at people and thinking every day?

A falang friend who is a veteran of thailand living 9 years in the kingdom speaking fluent thai and isaan dialect recommended thaifriendly.com to meet ladys.

If your pal is so "fluent" in Thai and Isaan dialect, he must be a totally clueless if he needs a dating site to score.

Just look at the site for yourself and have a browse and check out some of the hideous and desperate sad losers therein grubbing around like soi dogs trying to find some free crumpet.

Almost all the crumpet say things like:

"I want someone good man take care me, my family, please respect Thai culture"

which translates as:

"I'm looking for some mug to take care of me and my family, who will spend his life feeling that because he didn't meet me in a bar, that I'm not a hooker and my clout isn't up for rent to the highest bidder, but that poor sod is in for a shock".

Not sad or cynical at all, its reality dear boy....Some lonely old man in other country gets stars in his eyes and bulge in his pants, and gets taken....cashes his chips and moves to Thailand or visits a lot is expecting to live happily every after, but in a lot of cases it don't turn out that way...its better getting into something with their eyes open and not becoming a mug...

Per HD's translation...

I am convinced there is a book available in all good Thai book stores called "Farangs for Dummies" and I am sure large numbers of ladies who are in the market to snag a mug of farang read it...because in almost cases the "scripting" between the prospective Teerak and the punter are always the same.

Are there stories where things do work out...yes...but pretty sure the numbers that are conned out of cash are far higher...

[Southerndrawl]

HD and Soutpeel, What country do you 2 live in? It certainly must not be Thailand. MK is a great place to meet for a first date, and its not that expensive if things dont work out. Back home, most people meet for first dates at Starbucks or at a bar, does that mean that they are all cheapskates? Any Thai woman I ask would be more than happy to go to MK as a first meeting.

FYI, the woman that asked for a first date at an expensive restaurant, the bill would have been more than 5,000 baht when i looked the place up online. I guess HD and Sout have unlimited money and can just wine and dine any woman at the most expensive place in town for a first meeting. Thats not "economical" to me and if the woman balks, thats a sign to find another.

[Southerndrawl]

Im almost afraid to ask you what your perceived difference between prostitution and marriage is because Im pretty sure I know what your answer would be.

Some people in this world, including yours truly, are shy in the real world, and meeting a woman on the street and striking up a conversation is not a possibility. Does this mean that we are not allowed to explore other possibilities to meet women?

Internet dating worked well for me to overcome my shyness, and to lay a foundation for the first meeting, and at least I can express myself better in writing than in person. Its still awkward when I meet a woman for the first time after chatting online, but at least I will have told her a little bit about my self in my online profile, so I might feel a little bit more comfortable with me at our first meeting.

I know I must sound like an ad for internet dating, but it has worked well for me.

It doesn't matter if you are shy, the sex workers you are meeting online, on sites like Thaifriendly, know how to overcome these small difficulties.
The point is, you don't need to express yourself to these women, they don't care about you, or your online profile, they care about your money.
These girls would meet any foreign man who invited them, anywhere in Thailand, if you pay their ticket.

I don't have a problem with a man paying for sex. I do have a problem if he lies to me (or himself).

[neverdie]

I had one girl who asked me to take her to an expensive restaurant for the first date to which I said no. We instead met at MK, which still wasnt cheap, but Im glad I didnt spend too much because it didnt work out after the first meeting.

WOW last of the big spenders.... Rudolph Valentino move over.. ...but it does illustrate a certain mentality....the farang's wondering how cheap he can pick this girl up for and get into her pants and the girl is wondering how much money she can get out of her prospective teerak farang moneky...interesting

Out of interest which expensive restaurant did she request ?.....McDonalds ? KFC ? or did she really go up market and request "Sizzlers" with the all you can eat salad bar...

How did people ever end up being so spastically inept ?

what about the old days before electronics.......did everyone just stay home and look so retarded ? f f s. masturbation must have been rife amongst some of these gimps.

My first marriage, we just left uni, we were the same age, same nationality, spoke the same language, were married before we started working, both had jobs soon after.

We both had no assets, and both earned the same wage. That's a real marriage, where you both contribute the same to the relationship, and work together.

A marriage where the man provides all the money forever, I think not (for me).

Dating?

I'm a bit old for dating (at 50+), but my nieces seem to enjoy a trip to KFC or a picnic at Ob Khan.

Sex?

You don't need to confuse sex with dating, the girls on TF just want money, so short time hotel and let them buy their own dinner on their own or with their friends. They really don't want to be seen out with an ageing foreign lecher.

[Southerndrawl]

What did people do before electronics? Depends on where you are from. Matchmakers have been around since the beginning of time and are still very popular worldwide. They have or are being used where societies prevented direct interaction between men and women, and when you were matched, there was usually no divorce, so you had to take what you got and hopefully be happy with it.

These days in most western societies, you can pick who you want, and in most cases hopefully your family will be in favor of your decision.

Neeranam, has the green-eyed jealousy monster been getting to you.

House was a present from her parents and the apartment built with a legacy from her father and her own money, she is a scientist at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok.

Pigeonjake, absolutely fallen on my feet.

She is just putting me on the Thai government healthcare system now we are married.

I have met quite a few of her former schoolmates in Ubon, and they will be taking care of my medical and dental needs up there, but am not quite sure how to take the Army Colonel, he was a bit scary but I think his gynaecologist wife keeps him in line.

As for the Bangkok friends, all professional people, quite a few of whom escaped the hellish weather of April by taking vacations in Europe.

I can honestly say I feel very lucky

And local spa's hair-stylist - total-man groomer ?

Would he be what the rest of us refer to as a proctologist ?

And don't bother with your "jealousy" presumptions or your bluddy social-connection pretentious.

I rolled in here decades ago with what turned out to be "better-than-gold" portfolio, first job was for a global ad agency, my first girl-friend was a Miss Thailand contender and I just waited for things to get better.

With 3, on the go now I am considering a second apartment for treats and rendezvous's.

I keep a full-time gal who cooks European, Mexican and Thai, a hi-so tart who I party with when she wants to piss off her friends.

I support her and her lovely Uni student daughter.

Latest companion is a late-twenties office gal who still lives with her parents who allow her late evenings to gang-watch US TV series and drink wine with her mysterious "papa".

"I gloe up wit' compuTER" was her pitch to me. I can build and hack anyt'ing."

Big crooked-tooth smile, killer bod and an abiding curiosity about the porn she's been watching since she was old enough to use a router. She teaches me about computers at the moment.

So three.

Yep

That's right.

THREE

The stay-at-home helpmate is my regular day-to-day.

My rich party-gal teases me about my Isaan wife's Caesar salad being made with pla-raa

The sexy computer nerd knows about the occasional date or weekend with the rich tart but not about the Isaan housemate.

She will soon be getting a guided tour of "Kyra"

Much like many a Thai Visa finger-wager, my grown-up "kids" in back in "the Old Country" might do better when my will is read if they'd stop criticizing Dad's lifestyle choices.

So I while I don't think I should ever have 'em all in the same loom with a case of Sauvignon Blanc, I enjoy each of them for who they are and what they are.

Me? I see no reason to marry any of them.

I don't feel lucky, I feel as if I know what I am doing.

Oh yeah. No kids.

I absolutely do not want any kids.

I know when I was dating in both farangland and Thailand, it never ever came into my head, "I think I will take her "there" cos its cheaper"...first date or not...even when I was at the beginning of career as a on the bones of my arse (no money) young engineer...this never factored into equation on date night at all...

If all that is going through your head on date night is question "how much is this going to cost me to get into her panties" then I really don't know, its really sad

expensive restaurant = THB 5000... ....your not even close being in an expensive restaurant...

BTW how many BigMac's or KFC can one buy for THB 5000 ?....

Whats your idea of a classy place to meet an internet date for the first time and how much should you spend? Lets say you have never met her before, and you are currently playing the field with a few different women, and you dont have a steady GF yet. And lets also say in the process of finding your Ms. Right, you like to date 3 times a week, not for sex, just to meet women for the first time. Dating can get expensive if your first dates are always going to be 1000 baht first dates. Ot maybe I am just a cheapskate not wanting to spend 1000 baht on a first date.

I guess the quote you used "how much is this going to cost me to get into her panties" is one on your mind, not on my mind when I go out with a girl Im considering to be my GF. Try not to put words in my mouth, thanks. I never used that quote and never thought that. I did not go on Thaifriendly to find sex, I went there to find a GF and was successful as were many others.

I dont date just for the sake of sex. If you go online just for sex, thats your business, not mine. But please dont assume thats what I do.

Can I ask, where did you take your GF or wife (if you have one) on your first meeting?

I think that anyone encouraging men to spend alot of money on first dates with women they meet online are giving bad advice. A thoughtful place to meet and good conversation will take the place of an expensive meal. You can always spend more later when you have sorted out whether the woman is a keeper or not.

Sorry, not for me, never seen it, never used it and the whole idea of paying to meet Sheila's is almost comical.

There are thousands of nice woman all around the place. They're looking for a gentleman, a man that knows how to make a lass feel special, make her laugh and show her a good time. Being able to speak or communicate with each other is essential.

Bad idea this internet scam stuff, get out there and mix with the people and I'm not talking about the bars and clubs and massage parlours.

Things were different when I was scratching around.

and here we go again...fixated on the cost of date, I can see a pattern developing here...maybe this is why Southerndrawl is not having much success...

I have never dated anyone from the internet, but if I did, as a gentleman, I would enquire as where the young lady would like eat, if she didn't know, I would suggest a few possible locations based on her culinary preferences (not MK,McD's/KFC BTW) and we would have dinner at the selected location with the intent of having and enjoyable evening, if at the end of the evening, I have had an enjoyable time, I couldn't really care if I have spent THB 1k, THB 5k, 10k...

I have had a goodnight out, now here is the clever bit, if both parties are not "clicking" one suspects the evening will be cheaper, simply because one or both parties want to get out of the place as quickly as possible...

I am treating the lads I roped into painting the condo to a bite to eat and a few ales to say thanks and none of them would take a bird to MK on a first date unless she is a mutt and they're all skint on the wages I bung them.

Last date I had (a few weeks back), although at my age they get called outings, three very nice foreign ladies (my age) went out to Canyon View Restaurant, I drove and they paid for lunch. We all seemed to have a very nice time. Followed by a swim in the Canyon.

SD, I get the impression you are fairly old too, in which case Ms. Right got married to someone else 20 years ago, why not grow old gracefully?

Don't really understand some of you with your obsession on spending money.

I have enough money, but spend as little as possible.

150bht on a meal for me, I would consider expensive, buying for someone else who isn't family, that just isn't going to happen.

Where are living ? in Thailand or in Victorian England in a Jayne Austin novel..?

Let me guess you have check list for all suitable candidates on your computer ?

how many calories she consumes per day ?

Which side does she part her hair ?

does she have her own transport ?

how much hair product she uses per month ?

Does she own her own property ?

does she have an MBA

once said check list is filled in, you run an financial spreadsheet to determine how much said prospective GF will cost per month to take her on ?

Your missing a fundamental part of the equation dear boy... in most cases the foundation to a relationship is lust in the first instance at least.. the love/relationship bit comes later.........this may be why you are not having any success...the young lady is sitting expecting a nice little game of hide the sausage at the conclusion of the Al la carte meal at MK and she is not getting it...
