How many foreigners wifes were not former sex workers

[danmarnj]

I think my analysis is spot on. Sorry if I hit a sore spot with you. Most traditional, educated Thai ladies would never speak to you nor me. See second sentence of point 2 for exception

[pgrahmm]

Not a sore spot with me....most everyone I know fit into #2....I've got a uni educated, electronics company manager 15 years and very old fashioned/traditional....our entire social circle is that way with many long term happy marriages - far too many to be against the odds....most expats just believe these type don't exist....attraction happens between like minds, expectations, and personality match ups....

It's up to everyone to decide who to marry, but personally I would not do that mistake (marry a bar lady) one more time. And why marry a bar lady when there are "millions" of nice Thai ladies without that kind of experience?

That would be because most foreigners don't get the opportunity to meet anyone else.

Don't kid yourself the online dating sites are full of respectable women who can communicate in English.

The old guys, can't speak Thai, don't go to work, only meet sex workers and friends of their mates sex worker wives.

What part of that don't you understand?

What you are saying I think is a litle bit disrespectful towards older men. I can agree with you that many foreign men go to places like Pattaya just looking for a sex worker for marrige because they don't know better, but there are also many, both young and older foreign men, that are looking a litle bit further out to find a good Thai lady. If a foreign man wants to marry a NICE Thai lady and he thinks that there is a language barrier he can easily learn the basics in 3 month in his home country. And today more and more Thais speak english.

How many old white guys do you know who speak basic Thai (before getting a Thai wife/gf)?

ZERO, same as me, so that theory straight down the toilet.

How many respectable and available Thai ladies do you know that speak basic English?

ZERO, same as me ............

Mine was a maid and when we first got together we would argue. She'd say that she married me cos she thought all farang were rich. My reply was I married a maid cos I figured she'd keep the house clean. Seems like we were both wrong!

[Headgame]

These threads always amaze me because posters are so biased by someone's occupation. I was a lawyer for 24 years and people loved to stereotype about crooked, lying lawyers all the time. I will never do the same thing to a bar girl and some of you should adopt the same attitude. Good and bad in all 'professions'.

I was that stereotype!

(crooked lying lawyer, not bar girl)

Why would someone make an ex hooker the mother of their children????????????

There are so many nice girls in Bangkok with decent jobs looking for a guy, but most farangs are hooked on bargirls.

Personally I would steer clear of any girl that has worked in the hospitality industry before. If I were to marry one I'd definitely take one which comes from a rich family.The richer the girl is, the more unlikely it is to get divorce raped.

please feel free to supply statistics to back up your obviously very knowledgeable claims

[i claudius]

Yes, I have a moral code which is "I would never marry a prostitute, or call a prostitute my girlfriend".

Would your "moral code" allow you to marry a banker, lawyer or real estate agent?

Nothing wrong with a real estate agent my wife is one, as for bar girls ,many nice ones ,as for me I wouldn't marry one,never needed to as I have spent many years here so met lots of women through business ,but some guys come here a couple of times and do not get the chance to meet any other sort of woman ,my motto is ,whatever floats your boat and as long as it makes you happy

I guess many guys marry the person they fall in love with, irrespective of their previous occupation.

I am guessing there are a Lot of pub crawlers that come over...In their home land they might be the pub king in a familiar less "friendly" situation....They come here with old habits and mindset and are completely overmatched....including their comparison of pub females back home versus what they find here.....they are completely unprepared.....AND willing.....

Marrying an overweight 50yo divorcee who stole her last husband's home and children Vs marrying a slim 25yo prostitute.

I know which one I would choose!

or you could just stay single.

I think some got used to pub crawling in the military and some after a bad marriage or three.....and that's all they know and are equipped for in their outlook....the Thai gals would look and feel like a fall from the sky dream come true.....and the BG's are professional companions by trade and MUCH experience pleasing and manipulating men.....

No its more like the fat old lad cant get anyone better to give him the time of the day so he has to resort to marrying a hooker, and obviously the hooker is in it for the money and passport.

Maybe the prostitute is better looking, sexier, more kind hearted, and would make a better life partner and mother?

Well 99% of the time the love is not mutual, she is in it for the money and passport. When you bring her to back to the west she will find someone closer to her level and leave you!

You think a 25yo Thai girl that isn't a sex worker is available to guys who would normally shop in the 50yo divorcee market?

Thailand really is the land of fantasy!

Just because you are old, doesn't mean you are fat.

But when you are young you are far more gullible.

I quite like having children.

I have no urge to love their mothers, and am not interested in their mothers occupations.

Cheap and easy to hire help once mom has gone, not that interested in the home helps previous occupation either.

(Most of the male Thais I know don't care for their wife or gf either, baby machine + home help + bed warmer)

This 'love' idea you have is a deeply western concept that the majority of the world don't really care about.

What, a prostitute for a life partner and mother. LOL. That is why the Thais think farangs are total losers.
