Was this intended to be a "parrot" of someone else, or is that your view? Because if its your view, is a very narrow view that is inaccurate, and it shows a "preaching" about Thai culture, that you state earlier you dislike. Its a hipocritcal statement to me. And its magnifiied by its inaccuracy.
No it is not a view it is something I have been told about from thai friends and also observed. I think you should read my response to jaybee where I explain this more.
Unfair and as stupid as you may think it is, the truth is there is a lot of truth to it. You complain about over weight men going with fit Thai women. But how many times in western European bars, have I seen overweight western women being picked up by fit western men? Why? Because the selection is limited. But in Asian bars, there is a much widder selection, and the competition for western women is suddenly different.
I also said in quotations that this would make most men ill as well if it is vice versa and I know it works both ways. But again, you are not talking about pick up bars, you are talking about p4p bars, not the same ending no matter how you slice it as it is not a question of just pulling as it is in the west in a bar. I also see girls there who go off with nasty looking men....but that is not because it is their job. If you want to talk about just any old thai bar then yes there is a better selection of trim and fit men and women...why do you think I like thai men?
Men who a western women would not give one hoot about, suddenly will be considered by asian women. And yes, a lot of it boils down to money and security that the man may be able to offer (which is your point). But a lot also boils down to culture, and the way a western man will treat an Asian women, which you seem to completely miss in your point.
Fair enough but then again if you are talking about the normal thai girls not the bg's for whom it is income, then I agree completely! See another post where I brought up the other side of it though where a really nice good looking thai man does not think he will ever get married because he is not wealthy enough.
Don't kid yourself. A lot of these western women, who can't cope in an Asian bar, would have no problem in a European bar. Why? Because the competition isn't the same. Its really that simply.
I have a friend who hated asia because she got no attention, is slightly overweight and of course the competition is different. A lot of girls in an english pub who pull regularly would have major problems in Sweden as well, it can be said about almost any culture going into another culture. I never said it was not the case completely but it is an unfair generalisation, I have a blast in Thai bars with Thai blokes and when in mixed bars have always met farangs as well...though admittedly I am more interested in the thai men.
Well, I see no need for bitter ness on either part. But I would say there is bitterness on both sides. Bitterness with the western men, of what they have to deal with in the west in terms of the fitness of western women. And bitterness with the western women, when they are faced with the competition in Asia. You may not like the Asian situation, and western men may not like the European situation, but thats the way it is.
I agree but you leave out the fact that many western men are seriously unfit as well and that this is mutual. Again, why do you think I prefer asian men? Lean, hairless, young looking faces a lot longer, extremely nice and kind and sweet and caring. I think the reasons on both my side and men with TG's is the same. I am again talking about pure p4p though.
A western woman who is fit, pleasant, and fun to be with, should have no problems in Asia. Attitude says a lot. But a western women, irrespective of how attractive she is, won't get very far in an Asian bar if she cops an attitude, and starts saying what a bunch of jerks the men are. She may be able to get away with that attitude in Europe (because of her looks), but not in Asia. There is too much competion.
If you are incinuating I would ever walk into a bar and say anything of the sort you are mistaken. For those who know me they will know I am outgoing, fun and respectful of Thais and their lives and lifestyles. I also am very giving and eager to learn both more about their language and culture and make every effort to fit in in that sense. I think anyone who cops an attitude in a bar will have a problem male or female. At the same time copping an attitude on a forum where you are being attacked is hardly the same thing.
This shows how liittle you know about Thai culture. Don't let the smile, and waht appears to be a passive or submissive attitude fool you. There is a lot going on behind that smile. A lot more than you may ever suspect.
I have many thai friends and had a thai bf, I know a lot about the culture, and quite like it.
Had to leave with? Who FORCED the women to go with the men? Are the women not getting something out of it? How many Thai BG have 2 or 3 men overseas sending them money, while they are working another "fat" or "rich" falang.
It does not make it any less repulsive to me. I am not saying they are not getting anything from it, I am saying I put myself in their shoes and think of what they need to do next when I see them leaving and think how I would feel...they can do it. I couldn't for example be a masseuse either as I would be disgusted touching someone with nasty skin...perhaps I am more squeamish in that sense, but that is just me. As for the men, if they send these girls money that is on them as well.
Frankly, your statement of "disgusted, literally sick", smacks of bitterness to me.
Bitter from what? I am expressing how distasteful it would be for me to have to go shag some of these blokes and how it makes me feel. They are doing a job, and whether you like it or not if pickings are slim they need to feed themselves, and it makes me ill to see some of the men they need to shag. I saw a man about 70 weighing about 150 kilos leaving with a girl who looked like she could be his granddaghter and was tiny tiny....am I not aloud to feel disgust? Would you not sometimes look at a girl leaving with a bloke and say. "oh damn that is nasty"...it is human.
Well, you probably will prefer Phuket Town, as I mentioned earlier. I tried to get the thread pushed in that direction, but clearly thats not a subject of interest on this thread, as the discussion of Phuket Town night life appears to have died rather quickly.
My apologies for being blunt, but if you think you will crave western company, its quite possible Thailand, indeed Asia, is not the place for you.
I know I will prefer Phuket town but mainly because I fancy Thai men and love being around asians. You may have missed that but I actually feel very comfortable around asians and almost prefer to be around asians, have always been fascinated with asian culture and love the food, people etc. When I said "if I crave" I meant that if the urge came to be around westerners I knew where to go, not that I have had the urge I have usually complained to my thai friends in BKK that they were taking me to too mixed places....chan ow thai pooshai...thai pooshai laaaw!!!
Best wishes in your upcoming time in Phuket. I'm looking forward myself to being there in just 24 hours, although I doubt that I will hit the night life scene. Married life has removed that urge from me, to a large extent. I may drop by some of the bars, and look up some of the bar managers I remember from old, if they are still there.[/QUOTE]
Thanks and have fun also!
