Thai gay man falls victim to online love scam

[alex88]

Wonder why the "gay" aspect of the case was such a major point in the story. I mean this is Thailand, 45% of the men here are gay, so whats the novelty?

I doubt that 45% are actually gay, but I would say that the percentage you quote and maybe more certainly have a very feminine aspect about them.

So gays are feminine huh? Tell that to bears.

I said they have a very feminine aspect about them, I didn't say gays are feminine that's your (wrong as usual) interpretation of my comment.

I don't see why you even brought up femininity perception in this context than to connect that to gayness.

Of course there are plenty of masculine gays and feminine straights. However there is a strong correlation between feminist and gayness. Go into a gay bar vs a straight bar and try to tell me there's no difference in the way the men present themselves.

In case you missed it, the trend amongst people under 30 has been to the metrosexual look. It sort of drops off in the early 30's.

One of the problems with many people in TVF is that their demographic skews to the elderly Caucasian segment. A large number can be considered to be living in a different era, surrounded by others who think that Def Leppard or Deep Purple are the hip bands of today. Many of the German members probably think Heino is what the youngsters are listening to today.

Indeed if also applies in the west that males under 30 are relatively effeminate compared to previous generations and the difference between gay and straight is relatively small in that age group.

Btw the vast majority if bears I have met are a lot more effeminate than they realise. They may dress and try to act manly but they still have an effeminate gayness about them a lot of the time.

This level of discussion of gay stereotyping does not interest me, and is also OFF TOPIC.

Agree that the gay aspect is only for sensation but your estimate of percentage of Thai men who are identified as gay men is just absurd.

Every Thai, Male or Female, is two shots of Johnny Walker away from being bi-sexual.

You've tested this out yourself?

I feel bad for this man. He blindly trusted these scammers. Hope they get them and return the money to him. There are a lot of sad storys, but dont think this only happens in Thailand. Remember revenge porn king Hunter Moore?? You should be very careful what you post. There's a lot of sites that abuse private videos like: yuvutu, mygaysites, boycall...
