Some of mine had jobs, others didn't.... and this is another issue with Thailand and IMO very difficult to find a happy medium and a good reason to stay single. Often the ones with jobs are working long hours and 6 days a week. Then she has friends, family commitments and often meetings on days off. Difficult to organize a holiday or weekend away. Yeah I like to go away by myself and definitely like some time to myself but you seem to end up spending most of your time by yourself, waiting around and the whole thing seems pretty pointless. A nice chill girl would be fine at home providing she had some other interests apart from FB, sleeping and having random meltdowns. Yet to find one though. Usually we blokes have women here of differing age gaps and truth be told we have different priorities. We have been there done it all and happy to chill, take it easy....on the other hand they maybe in their early to mid life, never done anything much or been anywhere and they want to do it all. Relationships in Thailand, unless you find someone very compatible really are a drag in so many different ways. Better have your own space and just play the dating game or better still rent. Got a mate does exactly that for 5 years and he is happy as Larry. I remember waking up in the morning after every break up feeling like there was a pallet of bricks lifted off my chest. Bliss. No need to play all the mind games or need to entertain what is very much like a bored, petulent child.
