Finding love in Thailand

[arsenal]

Yes. Matt is correct. Even the beggars are refusing to accept anything less that Bitcoin these days. Haha.

95% of gay Thai I have had contact with are stupid, lazy, greedy creatures.

That is an awful thing to say.

Most Thais I meet are hard working, humble and not at all greedy.

Those I meet are not so much looking for love or sex, rather for ดูแล

Those are the guys you choose to attract.

We talked about this before, as long as you stick to money boys and both sides know what to expect, everything is fine.

But as soon as I delve into online dating, all kind of problems arise: communication, place and time, and what material compensation/remuneration does the boy expect? I've had all kind of bullshit, games and drama, emotional immaturity, fishing for invitations, wasting my time, totally unrealistic money expectations (recently a boy I haven't met before asked for 5000 THB for books for university!).

That's more due to your personality.

Sorry for butting in, but, IMHO, the hundreds of thousands of young, attractive, intelligent and career-oriented Thai guys are, similar to their counterparts in the rest of the world, looking for other young, attractive and professionally-driven guys. The twenty or thirtysomething gainfully-employed Thai professional is not going to settle for some farang bum in his thirties or forties who's still living in a shoe-box, eating street food and perpetually whining about public transport. They might fuck him if he's easy-going and exceptionally hot but that's about it and bear in mind that there is no shortage of attractive, chilled guys travelling to Thailand in addition to the millions of nice, gorgeous guys in their own population.

So the next time a farang says 90% of the Thai guys he meets are greedy, lazy, idiots then maybe he should take a good look at himself in the mirror because - surprise, surprise - he is the the common denominator to that 90%. He should ask himself why is it that he seems to be a magnet for "greedy, lazy, idiots". He should ask himself why, despite bitching, whining and whinging about the 'stupidity' and 'laziness' of the Thai people, that he is still in Thailand after years and years, living and socialising among its less privileged, instead of leading a comfortable life at home or some other developed country with his similarly enlightened partner. Plenty of skilled, professional and financially independent Asians in Singapore, Sydney, London, Melbourne and Taipei. And plenty more - surprise, surprise - in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and - shock, horror! - Bangkok. But you aren't likely going to meet these guys on bus 92 from Patpong to Nakhon Nowhere.

OMG... finally. 100% agree with this.

But at the end, I have no idea where those I meet change their mind to "I'm not so much interested in sex with ChristianPFC, but let's see how much money I can drain off him".

It's because you have nothing else to offer.

My room is rather small, certainly not impressive for any Thai boy who has ever been with a Farang in hotel that costs 1000 or 2000 THB per night (and I have seen such pictures on facebook or in online dating profiles).

Exactly... not saying you need to be living in luxury but at least be presentable and look grown up. You know, dress well. Be sociable. Be generous. Have a decent bachelor pad. All these things add up.

"OMG... finally. 100% agree with this."

Of course you do. You wrote it.

Smiles, I really liked your post. Gosh, has it been so long? I'm sure you've had a falling out over the years, but your's is the real "happy ending",
