Thakkar Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Got some news the other day that all my wifes postings of the crap I buy her and places I take her, made my mates wife jealous.

Suradit69 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> E.g. We went to Rome and Paris, took them out shopping and they posted a pic of the stores they went to. I equate that to tourism post, I don't think that's to far from normal posting for a girl. If you are talking about your wife posting piccies of you together at restaurants...eating having a good time, then thats nice. If you are talking about her posting piccies of the latest gold necklace in high definition......then, up to you, but that would seem a little crass and shallow to me. Well if you want to talk about shallow ... "I don't think that's to [sic] far from normal posting for a girl," ... they obviously are made for one another.

Suradit69 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Sorry about not sticking to the question, but I has the word 'Facebook' become a verb? To ask "Does your wife Facebook pictures,,,?" is hard for me to accept. I have no problem with people "googling" something as it's clearly an acceptable new verb to mean look for something with the Google search feature, something that millions of people do daily, but I'm going to hope that there isn't an more 'facebooking". Language is dynamic and is in a constant state of evolution otherwise we'd all be speaking English like something out of Chaucer. Reading through your little screed I'd say you're not in a great position to judge the English usage of others. English has changed a bit since Canterbury Tales was written: This prison caused me nat for to crye,But I was hurt right now thurgh-out myn ye Into myn herte, that wol my bane be. The fairnesse of that lady, that I see Yond in the gardyn romen to and fro, Is cause of al my criyng and my wo.

ChangMaiSausage Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> I find it ludicrous that thai women have to put up pics of themselves and all their latest "presents" etc so that they look like they are something more than they really are. All it does for me is show how insincere and pathetically minded they are, mind you these are the same women that have to start playing with their faces whenever they see a reflection of it. The real women in Thailand dont need to do this sh*t because they have a bit of class and dont need to show off to anyone, they have standards. Sorry but to me the only women that do this are pretty low class, uneducated with no values what so ever, they are also the ones that will likely dump their farang other half as soon as they find someone with more money (or he spends all his)or are scamming him behind his back, dont even know why men would even associate with this type of female unless it is a similar thing for the guys, "look at my women", hahahaha, what a joke, as they say, you get what you deserve. Strange but I always thought that two people were together for each other, you know, love, not what they can score and use as bragging rights alt=blink.png> . BURNT!!

krisb Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The last present I bought my wife is the only one she hasn't posted on-line. But then, she hasn't been able to get it out yet. Look! A guy who jokes about his partner like this! What complete <deleted>. Shows zero respect for her. Another <deleted> who either proves his parents did a shit job, or just is a complete tool.

thailiketoo Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I think most Thai women post photos of the "various gifts" they have been given by there farang.But you will almost never see a photo of the farang himself in any of the photos posted on Facebook." The Gifts " are far more important to them....... (I am delighted that after almost 4 years of living in Thailand that I am still single ....) Goodnight & God bless F.J x I'm at the age when men marry trophy wives (in my case anyone breathing is a trophy wife). My wife posts photos of her and I and her friends when we go out. I recently gave her a diamond watch (real diamonds/real watch). It is the most expensive piece of jewelry I have ever given her. I thought she would post a photo of it but no. She keeps in the safe and only wears it on special occasions. My wife is not like all Thai women and you don't know enough women to make a statement most Thai women. All that means is you have known few women and so the few you know assume the importance of a large number. If you have known many women you know they are all different. If you have only known a few they tend to be the same. When a person first moves to another country all the people look alike; as one becomes familiar with the culture one begins to notice that everyone is an individual. It's like twins. A parent can tell them apart easily but to an outsider they look the same. Edited October 20, 2014 by thailiketoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkpanther99 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My Mrs doesn't but a lot of her friends do. One girl posts a picture of of a wad of cash every time she gets her salary each month, like all of 10,000 THB, I'm not really sure who she's trying to impress with that one! Why do so many women post this kind of stuff here? It's just trying to show off right? Who would want to be friends with someone who is constantly trying to make them jealous? I find the whole thing very self centered. You know before I came to Thailand I had this idea that people here wouldn't really be interested in material things, the Land of Smiles and all that...a smile would be enough...especially since it's a Buddhist country. How wrong I was. Thai people are by far the most materialistic I have ever met, much more than people from the west. I'm not Thai bashing, just saying it how I see it. And a big part of this posting pictures of stuff to Facebook is all down to materialism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthobkk Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 well, my gf does post those kind of pics too. I buy her stuff sometimes, I bring her to nice restaurant too sometimes and she will take a picture of it. On the other hand she has a good job and she could afford this stuff by herself. She is just happy to post those picture, I personally don't really like people taking picture of their new stuff or food to post it on fb, but now I just don't care. Her friends are all doing the same...maybe this is just a different culture, but most of my friend (mostly girls) who are foreigners on fb, do the same shit.
