drronnie Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I always thoughts Thai women are looking for a stable provider but I often seen women wearing proper office attire or uniforms and are accompanied by a "deadbeat" boyfriend in shorts and flip flops.

robblok Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If the guy is young and handsome why not, they don't like ugly deadbeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpolar Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's to make jealous old teachers in proper attire. They want to make sure that they know that they are not working hard while enjoying themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachproperty Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) So if you wear shorts and flip flops .....You're considered a "deadbeat" You must enjoy wearing your Suit or sportcoat everyday....good luck with that in Thailand.

giddyup Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So if you wear shorts and flip flops .....You're considered a "deadbeat" You must enjoy wearing your Suit or sportcoat everyday....good luck with that in Thailand. That must make at least 90% of the male population, falang and Thai, deadbeats. I thought shorts and flip flops was compulsory, that's all I've been wearing for the last 6 years.

chrisinth Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 That is a really special skill set you have there if you can determine that someone is a 'deadbeat' because of them wearing shorts and flip flops. Of course, i would agree with you if that was all they were wearing in one of the malls in Bkk, at immigration, in a bank or eating at/checking into a 5* hotel.

Berkshire Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The OP may be showing a tiny bit of jealousy, but I certainly understand where he's coming from. I assume he's talking about a young attractive lady. Young women--the world over--typically start off by falling for an equally young guy through that mythical concept called love. Has nothing to do with the guy being responsible or being a good provider or being a sharp dresser. He just appeals to her in certain ways, usually a personality thing, e.g., wit, charm....whatever. When women grow older, they tend to become more pragmatic. That's when they realize that Mr. Cool doesn't pay the bills and may not even come home certain nights. But of course, she's older now and a tad more desperate. Young single mothers tend to grow up much more quickly and may be looking more for a "boring" but reliable mate. But a young, middle class Thai woman who's not looking/thinking about a "stable provider" will just follow her heart, no matter how irrational it may appear to others.

MrBrilliant Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think the OP is a TEFLer who is starting to realise that his cheap nylon Tesco/Lotus 400B work clobber or paltry, laughable 35K income doesn't really put him 'up there' with the elite and often sees him overlooked by the lasses for 'deadbeats' like me who while not the height of sartorial elegance, probably are a decade or two younger than he, and earn several times his paltry TEFL income/pension per month....

GuestHouse Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I always thoughts Thai women are looking for a stable provider but I often seen women wearing proper office attire or uniforms and are accompanied by a "deadbeat" boyfriend in shorts and flip flops. Whats up with that? I think that was me. The constraints of office attire working for a MNC get a bit too much sometimes, especially on my day off. So off with the suit and tie and on with the shorts and flip-flops. I feel sorry for the guys who have to dress up all the time to give themselves the self esteem that they don't receive anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Jordanian actually suggested that I put some trousers and shots on when flying business class funnily enough, and in Saudi Arabia security refused me entry into a mall.

NickJ Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I know this guy who gets all or most of his clothes made here by an Indian tailor. brags about how great having hand made clothes to fit is. Trouble is he thinks he looks great. I think about the box I have somewhere filled with Talbot ties and coach belts and half a dozen pairs of shoes that cost about 400$ a pair.....I havent had on a pair of long pants in over eight years....dont want to and dont need to.......I will die in a pair of Hawaian flip flops......

drronnie Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think it could have something to do that Thai women with jobs no longer need that beta provider and would rather go with that "deadbeat" who probably has a big social circle and is more entertaining than the toe wearing English teacher or office drone Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
