Berkshire Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 14 minutes ago, Been there done that said: Farang GF . Indeed, there is a very big chance that an american and a thai have similar knowledge about their countries politics So you cite one sentence out of context, but do you even understand the point of my post? Better yet, can you put together one coherent paragraph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I miss all the pop culture references, like when you quote a line from a movie, book, TV show etc and Thai GF has no idea what I am talking about. I used the phrase "Elvis has left the building" recently, then spent the next 20 mins explaining it. One of the things that attracted me to the GF was her dry sense of humour, however things like Monty Python, Seinfeld etc, are not understood.

Pilotman Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Nobody, man or woman, shows 'their true colours' as you put it, until settled in a relationship. Relationships change and so do the people in it. The relationship with my Thai wife of 20 years is different than it was 21 years ago when we first met, better I would say. I am still intrigued to see the world through her eyes, rather than through my own western cultural bias.and experience So I would say that I miss nothing that is important to me by being married to a Thai, as against a long term relationship with a western lady.

Pilotman Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Berkshire said: Pink nipples and blonde pubic hair? Seriously, if one can speak Thai, then there's not a lot you'd miss. What I don't get is when some farang guys talk of "intelligent conversation." What the freak is that about? It's not like TV is a bastion for Rhodes Scholars. I doubt these guys are talking about astrophysics or the industrial revolution with their buddies over Chang beer. My last farang GF in the US wasn't interested in the same stuff I was. Whether it's sports or movies or music, men and women are different the world over. Of course she knew about US politics, just like a Thai woman would know about Thai politics. But is that why you marry someone? Whatever. Just before I sit down to watch NFL/F1/MOTO GP, my wife brings me a drink and a box of biscuits and then leaves me too it. Super Bowl night she is a dream. Its like being in a great restaurant. What a lady!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeBOzbourne Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 A couple of things I do miss about Western Women at times: They usually pull the shower curtain closed when taking a shower so they don't flood the bathroom floor two inches deep in water. They don't come crawling into bed with a wet towel wrapped around them. They're not always freezing because I keep the A/C cranked down low, so they don't run over and turn it back up every time I leave the room. Small inconveniences I'll happily tolerate to avoid Western women like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To solve the air-con conundrum, my wife sleep with Canadian down duvet while I use a thin blanket. A/C is blasting away at 23 C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, I've been in long term relationships with many western women. I just wouldn't get romantically involved with them. IMO those relationships are probably more real than ones based mainly on sex. The one long term relationship with a Thai woman I had that wasn't based on sex for most of it should be regarded as platonic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a beautiful, slim farang woman on the street the other day. I had to double check that she was actually a farang, as most of them are about twice or more the size of a Thai woman.

Cooking together. Having mutual friends over for dinner / visiting mutual friends for dinner and everybody at the table speaks the same language. Listening to an adult argue. Sharing a clean home. She earns as much/almost as much as I do so most bills are shared equally. Listening to her complaining about how I didn't put the toilet lid up... djayz... absolutely SPOT ON!

The Deerhunter Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 My wife is from Chonburi (North) and for nearly eight years in my country she was glued to the local and international TV news every night at 6pm. Here she has trouble to get near a TV at 6pm but when she can she still wants to see the news. So we can discuss any subject and she has an opinion. I mention this because most Falangs consider most Thai women to not be interested in international events. We do not fight or argue anything like with my previous Falang wife. So nothing really. Better in every way, pretty much. No going back for more of the same. Mind you, I did some exhaustive and sometimes exhausting research and interviewing and nearly gave up before we met. 555.
