Jingthing Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 No one can make you feel inferior without your consent ― Eleanor RooseveltSure but in most of the world they couldn't be legally married and Thailand does not recognize their marriage.

geriatrickid Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If they are typical young people, then a divorce is in their future. I believe that the German divorce rate is 43%, I do hope someone bought a step ladder for the hobbit part of the relationship. I started laughing in the airport lounge as I contemplated Thorsten twirling Mondo on the end of his appendage and shouting "Round and round we go" as he slapped his buttocks.

Instead of being the merchant of doom and gloom would it be so difficult for you to simply wish the couple a happy and contented life together?

geriatrickid Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Instead of being the merchant of doom and gloom would it be so difficult for you to simply wish the couple a happy and contented life together? Merchant of doom & gloom Hilarious. Why would I wish these two publicity hounds a happy and contented life? It would be insincere and an empty gesture. They are attention whores. The fact of the matter is that this couple will likely be separated within 5 years. That's what happens with a lot of young people today. Another possible scenario is that the hobbit is crushed to death when some rotund German inadvertently sits on him , but Thorsten remains oblivious to the event as he is too busy with his Find Waldo puzzle. This story is just so silly. It's utter fluff. I suppose the same people who are devout followers of the Kardashians may care, but this remains a manipulative manufactured story. Controversy over hand holding, my posterior. The reality is that most people didn't care because they had more important things to worry about. This is a country where one is treated to disgusting promos for sex shows without anyone blushing. And yet, one is supposed to believe that society was aghast, shocked because some German who looks to be intellectually challenged held hands with a little ugly Thai guy. Right.

Scott Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 They were the unwitting subjects of internet trolls. I wish the best for them, but the statistics are not really in their favor. Best to them, and I hope they beat the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis123 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 First time I saw that photo the Thai guy looked to me like some HIV patient, on the wedding photo he looks better though. My Thai boyfriend always said why do handsome farang go with ugly Thai??? Always interesting when he said that out loud about the people sitting next to us in a restaurant...

Jingthing Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 In my experience, Thai concepts of a handsome white guy are different than in the west. The other way as well. A Thai that may be considered attractive by most westerners may be just average or worse to most Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, he and his friends were once joking about me on the beach that I've had sex with a certain Thai guy and they were like ieeeew.

alex88 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I guess it's a matter of taste. The white guy doesn't look attractive at all to me. He's a hairy beast, like a werewolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchadeBoy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Us German's are very tolerant. I get more looks from Thai people when walking around central with my partner, than ever dud in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thais are very conservative people. Though they seem to embrace the whole ladyboy thing, with one in nearly every TV show or movie, few really understand what gay or lesbian means. It's too bad. Give them another generation or two, and hopefully they will mature as a society, and sort some of these things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
