Scandibro,
Elaborate on "Thais have all sorts of weird social rules"?

^ that would turn into an essay

I would read said essay if you guys would be willing to write it

I don't see why PE's girl gets teh occasional hate here. Maybe trolling.From what I've seen she's one of the cuter girlfriends that anyone has posted in the asia threads

For reference(K2D)That's what a girl in the 7ish type range looks like. Unlike the phillipine bargirl you posted in your thread who was like a 4.

they all just play stupid games, and aint nobody got time for dat. This will become apparent after a few months of living here. No two girls are they all usually sing of the same hymn sheet.

Most of the time it feel like a power play between you and her, to take "control" or get there way for whatever reason, but if you follow the disregard women acquire currency/aesthetics motto you will be fine.

Can you explain why there seems to be this pretense in the above discussion of: in Thailand it is blitheringly easy to get laid (in a way that isn't the case in HK or london or even malaysia or whatever.) I'm not doubting it, I don't really know too much about Thailand, would just like to hear some thoughts about how or why Thailand is different. Thanks

In short its have Bhat will **** have lots of bhat will **** u no matter what you like like or ur age.... BHAT is king in BKK

As for Hong Kong dont have first hand experince but as its not a 3rd world eccom I assume the women have better standards and expectaions of the type of man they want to settle with and indeed **** for money

pretense? blitheringly?

u w0t m8?

I'm not sure what your asking, why its easier to get laid in thailand than HK/Malaysia?


Prob a combination of the following:

huge tourist presence.

Thai people are much faster to get into a relationship than the Western world. In euro/Murica you usually got on 2-10 dates before your bf/gf here as little as 1. I think the reason for that is Thai people dont have much things in there life, like hobbies , career, studying etc because they are poor. So they tend to focus too much on relationships. While in the west, we think about careers, hobbies, friends etc.

Also it is easy for Thai guys to get a lady of the night, so if a girl **** teases you all night, your never too far from getting shag for 500-1k baht.

Some girls are looking for the easy way out and a rich guy to look after them.

Not sure about this one, but a good friend of mine who was married to a thai said that they watch too many western movies/shows and think a one night stand is the norm when you go on a date with a western guy.

many other reasons to why its easier, theses are just a few.

Thais have few stigmas about the act of sex. Having sex, taking money for sex etc doesn't have much negative moral judgement only loss of face if discovered. This may be hard to understand for cultural-christians, but it is never the less true. Same **** in Japan and they're rich. The Asian way of thinking is that **** is only a problem once it hits the fan and people find out. It is the difference between a society driven by shame (Thailand) and guilt (the West).

It's also not easier to get laid by a non-prostitute/golddigger in Thailand than elsewhere. Nowhere is is easier to get laid than in my home country Denmark. It is the quality of the women in the femininty department that is better.

Of course for some people they can only get laid with the direct or in-direct promise of money, so for them Thailand is much easier.

There's also the weird situation where there's an entire class of people that are basically considered persona non grata in most of Thailand, yet to most western guys those chicks are just as hot as any other. So there's very little competition from the locals.

this, 1/3 of the population is from Issan

thai men also have a reputation for cheating, dishonesty etc. 'i never go back to thai man'

large % are gay/effeminate/transsexual or in low status occupations. 'thai boy not interesting'

as well as hookers there are entrepeneurs who won't ask for money, want to sleep with you and freeroll the possibility of money or a long term bf

its easy anywhere in the world to pull unemployed girls or ones on a significantly lower wage bracket than yourself (peter crouch for example). in thailand there are a lot of girls who make very little money and are looking for a boyfriend who makes a lot more than them and can support them. a lot of them are freelance hookers as well.

in hong kong, london etc people have jobs where they can afford things themselves and the appeal of a socially inept poker player who makes $400 a week is not as appealing.

You can still get laid any time you want in Hong Kong. You just have to be filthy rich. Women anywhere in the world get wet for rich dudes.

It's just easier to be rich in Thailand, where the minimum wage is $6 a day.

can add a zero for the poster you quoted and quite a few 2p2ers here

thanks for sharing your opinion, not every guy is attracted to the same thing

PE's girl looks fine, i still would rather go with the pinay i posted, she is more attractive to me

he should be fine for women wherever he goes then

What do you guys do for health insurance?

I am about to sign up with Bupa Thailand for their Platinum 1 plan - no outpatient. For 25K year.

I self insure.

BUPA only pay out 50% for motorcycle accidents, which kinda defeats the purpose IMO.

It's not any different. The only thing different in Thailand is prostitution accessibility to foreigners and tourists. But as far as relationships go, it's not much different at all.

In a lot of poor Asian/Latin/African countries - and even some richer countries like Japan - there is a _small_ contingent of local women who want to hook up with foreigners, and they all try to hang out wherever the foreigners hang out. It works out well for the foreigners because foreigners as a group are an even smaller group so there is a good ratio going on. A good chunk of these girls just keep jumping from dating one foreigner to dating another foreigner. (and there is a reason for that.)

Usually, what you see is this: on one side, you have local women who don't interact with foreigners enough and all white dudes look the same to them and they can't even tell if you're 27 or 40; and on the other side you have white dudes who were never exposed to Asians back home and all Asians look the same to them and they can't tell apart a 25 year old from a 40 year old.

The result is that you see an ugly dude with an ugly local girl, and they both think they scored something special. After living in the US/UK/Aus, the guys find any girl that is skinny and think the girl is hot. In reality, many of these local girls would have a pretty tough time getting a desirable local guy.

The above scenario is pretty standard not just in Thailand, but in many countries where you have a clash of races and economics. Ultimately, the only thing that matter is that the guy and girl are happy so the above scenario is a good thing. It works out pretty well as both sides think they're lucky to have the other.

But the more educated, more cosmopolitan, and more exposed to foreigners a girl is, the less likely she is to be impressed. It not only becomes the same as back in the US/UK/Aus, but it actually becomes harder. The sorts of girls that have enough education, travel, and money are desirable and they have their pick of local career guys and they don't go out there looking for foreigners who can't even own a house in that country or work regular jobs aside from being lowly English teachers and being on a constant visa leash.

What I do find very annoying is that there is a lot of dorks out there who either "brag" about these "catches" or belittle and demean these girls. I can understand why someone would date some poor girl from Issan with minimal education and minimal street-smarts, but what I don't understand is why these dorks are so keen to belittle and insult the girls they are dating behind their backs. To me, that is more of a reflection on the character of the guy - not on the girl. Why they would continue to date a girl they are not proud to be with and show off is beyond me. Life's too short for that.

Agreed with the rest of the post but a lot of valid reasons why it's different have been posted. Another is simply that in poorer countries single women outnumber single men.

Thai girls will always give you the time of day to chat a little when you approach them (partly out of not wanting to cause a scene), western girls often have more sense of entitlement and start in rejection mode. I can't remember a girl here ever refusing to give me her number. They're on average more open and feminine in their dress and behavior. Online dating is prolific with little stigma.

Discussion reminded me of this comparison chart which is a good read, although a bit over the top http://www.happierabroad.com/comparison.htm

wow that looked terrible.

Loving Bankok, think im getting consistently leveled by the taxi drivers though. I got kicked out of 3 yesterday, god knows why they just say no, but i dont really understand them haha I did tap and ask for meter every time.
Any bkk skype groups?

A few posters ITT (no names named) must believe quite the opposite or at least I think so given that they have to post ITT & go round high fiving each other & shoutng "I'm the man!" everytime they have sex in Thailand.

Thanks guys for the responses. I'm still learning about Thailand~
