On 19/02/2017 at 9:05 AM, farang2017 said: She keeps saying millions times how much she loves me but thats not how people build real relationship So what would you like her to do, climb through the phone and give you a BJ, true love 555 On 19/02/2017 at 9:05 AM, farang2017 said: We are planning to get married but I'm very worried that I will be very bored with her :) You will get bored with her if you have an attitude like that, ask yourself what do you want from a woman, if its mental stimulation, a woman that talks back to you, doesn't cook, clean, isn't great in bed, then you will get bored, if she can at least cook and take care you, u r half way there, the sex will be enough to keep me where I am at 555 On 19/02/2017 at 9:05 AM, farang2017 said: There is another financial issue which I'm not really happy with. She only stays at home and not feel to help me in any way. Help you, in what way, financially, um, I think you might be expecting too much, 99.9% of Thai women IMO are looking for Mr Falang to take care them financially On 19/02/2017 at 9:05 AM, farang2017 said: I send her money every month. Otherwise she is a wonderful girl and I'm sure she don't cheat on me. She is just lazy I think. Sending her money, I think you better hit the quote button below and start telling us how you came to that arrangement, i.e. was she a working girl and you agreed for her to go back to the village and you support her ? Most Thai girls are wonderful, but never assume that a woman wouldn't cheat on you, especially a Thai girl, now if you want to eliminate the potential, stay single. As for lazy, oh no, I expect breakfast served, lunch and dinner, house cleaned, kids showered and put to bed, toe nails clipped, hair in ears pulled out, hair coloured, and beer brought to me with the remote control, otherwise its just not on.

Kabula Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Rule number 1, never ask too many questions especially if you don't want to hear the truth. It's better not ask any questions regarding other men, their family problems, where they're going, or discuss your own financial problems. If a woman feels that you are getting financially stressed, she will be out the door in a heartbeat. I lived with a Thai woman and for close to seven years and the above recommendation helped me keep the relation going for many years. The less questions I asked the healthier the relationship was. If she told me she had to go home for two weeks to visit a sick parent, I told her that I wouldn't be home as well as I have travel plans and she always came back within a few days. Most Expat relationships with Thais are based on financial security for the Thais. Your questions are probably bordering on an answer that could be harmful to their financial security. It's better for them to be silent or ask another question to gain control of the conversation. After living here for approximately 11 years, I'm seeing more Thai women that are fluent in English avoiding bars and using social networking and the Internet to meet new ex-pats. Because of the financial retreat I'm seeing more Thai woman from Nothern villages moving into Bangkok that are not fluent in English and they are quiet because of translation problems, or they feel you are a cheap Charlie or too knowledgeable. If you are not living with a Thai woman, understand that most women today in the world are better dealers for financial security especially if they have children and large families. Their playgrounds are single ads and bars. The best advice I can give you is always have back up as most relationships simply no longer work for any length of time. With the use of the Internet everyone seems to have more options. If you are generous and even if you tell them you are a free spirit they will always be in contact with you. The time apart always seems to refresh the relationship. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazes Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) It is possible (you don't tell us where you come from) that you are a non-native speaker of English. Maybe Norwegian? And your English sounds like you are crunching cashews? Or maybe you are from UK, but from Scotland....and then NO ONE can understand a blind word you're saying from morn to night. (But no, you can't be from Scotland, cos you are sending her money.) Edited February 20, 2017 by blazes omission of punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caca4u Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I had the same problem with a few thai gfs. most of the dont know how to hold a conversation. my first thai gf was a village gf. she had excellent english, traveled to US, Korea and EU so she was exposed to more than the average village girl but still she could not hold a conversation about anything. the only times we talked more was gossip about friends. having dinner w her was the most boring thing ever. So to the OP u are not alone and I heard numerous times about this from other foreigners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadee1947 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 don't worry. You just got an average girl. But also consider: how to have a conversation in a language you never learned...properly. She called you maybe : "My ATM" when talking to her friends, when watching those soooo amazing "Soaps". But....of course she is a nice girl. You will know when living 24/7 with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli42 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 She can't keep up a conversation. She is not interested in your feelings or background. She sits around all day and does nothing. Did I get this right? Sure marriage is often prescribed in situations like this. All those issues will disappear like dew in the morning sun.

But, then again, she is not a girl, she's a woman. Get out more into the Thai community. Take your gf with you and see how she interacts with other Thais. Still quiet? Then she's just a quiet girl. To answer your broad-brush-stroke question. No, all Thai girls (and women) do not talk just a little. Some talk more; some talk less. That's sort of universal across all cultures. And I hate to be the one telling you this, but you're probably not the only guy sending her money, and if you're not in the country, there's a better than even chance that she has a boyfriend with whom she can talk to. As a previous poster say, "Run Forest, Run!" My hyper-communicative GF yeks all the time, so it can't be a cultural issue. What's wrong for a girl with having other friends or boyfriends?

Have you started that yet? Then you can talk about buying her gold too! She is testing the waters to see what the limits are financially. If you continue henceforth thy name will be teacher and banker. Every culture/relationship has its trade offs. If you continue with her you have to realize that your trying to blend two different cultures and ways of thinking. If your afraid of getting bored teach her things games the world some politics and areas where she shows interest. Sometimes the two never blend but co-exist in separate cultural melting pot.

JayBird Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 she could be an introspect. Not naturally talkative. Might be normal for her. Maybe she has strong feelings but it's hard for her to make it clear over the internet especially if she's the quiet type. How is when when you are physically together is more important. Is she affectionate, attentive, caring? How is she with others compared to you? It can be hard to guess what's going on in a little girls mind, so might be best to not jump to conclusions.

Khon Kaen Dave Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thai's are able to disappear into a world of their own.Its not really a bad sign.My wife can be very active around the house in the morning, but can sit outside our house and look into space for ages.Then she livens up again, and all is normal.Thai girls/women tend to like quiet men.Also there is the fact that maybe she just doesn't have the answers, that you want.Rather than her lose face, she will just clam up,and an embarrassing silence will ensue. You don't say her age, or yours.When i had to go back home for a month,i would speak to my wife only once every 2/3 days.Some.Thai girls do not find it easy to maintain long distance relationships.if you speak to her on a frequent,say daily basis, her day will not have changed much from the day before,hence,no news makes for long silences.My wife's and my conversations were usually very brief, but they were good for the time we spoke.I suppose the fact that we have Androids kept us in touch, because i could see her, and therefore we, knew where each other were.. You send money to this girl? That maybe the only connection that you have.I think you need to be here,and able to asses your relationship.Thing's my be well different, if you were together,and were speaking on a face to face basis. I wish you the best,but make sure, this is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution to the language problem is obvious: lerarn Thai and teach her English. Of course, not everyone lives in multilingual Pattaya. The reason why women ask for money is quite easy: most have children to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have been with my girlfriend for 10 years now and although we do not talk as much as we have in the past and her english is broken we do have times where the talk is good Bring it up to her and find out why she does not want to talk It may be what she was taught Woman should be subservient to men. This is the Thai way Tell her you are not happy she does not express herself and see what you get So there is an incompatibility problem here She is not as compatible as you think She thinks she has the golden goose my friend Seriously Move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it get to serious and you send money for no reason well ask her to send you money and you will see how fast she cut you off the messenger. So have a good time while you are in thailand and smile.

Steiner Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Here's the question to ask yourself, if she was a girl in your home town of similar age to you, didn't speak to you nor have any interest in you, but demanded money so she could sit at home and eat /sleep /shit while you work: would you ever dream of marrying her!

Steiner Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Also you have to realize that most Thai girls are 110% narcissistic, just compare the 2 facebooks, westerners share news stories and funny videos, we ask pertinent questions and have debates. Thai girls post endless selfies, they even have albums on the same day in different clothes! WTAF! So when their outlook on the world is looking back at themselves or perhaps posting a pic of what they are about to eat, you can't for a second think you're going to be debating world politics or current affairs ever!
