How come Thai boys age so rapidly?
Have you noticed this. By the time many of them are 30, or even 27, they usually look 10 years older than people their age in the west? If you agree, what do you think are the reasons? Late hours? Too much Sangthip? Smoking? Yaba? Diseases?
I would think this causes some relationship issues. For example, a farang gets involved with a 22 year old and a few years later he looks 35. Obviously, the farangs liked young ones, so then what?
Debate and discuss ...

This is known as the 'Dorian Gray Farang effect' - spending time with an ageing Farang makes the boys grow old prematurely whilst a Farang is kept young by the youth of the boy.
Of course, it's all tosh and nonsense. you see Farang's of all ages and all states of decay, some wear well, others not so. The same applies to Thai guy's, some remain sprightly and attractive and can continue working the bars. I know of at least one popular gogo 'boy' who is 38 and still one of the most popular offs.
Hijacking your own posting?
Seems somebody has gotten a bit off topic.
As to the orignal post and question, I don't agree at all based on my experiences. In my opinion, almost every thai guy
I know that's under 35 looks 5-10 years younger than westerners. I'm almost always surprised when I ask a thai his
age (they are almost all older than I think). And I've met some 60-75 year old thai men who also look younger than a 60-75 year old westerner - at least that's my opinion. I'm sure there are some who look their age but I haven't found many.
He's "coming from" San Francisco mostly

San Francisco gays don't eat many cheesburgers. They eat burritos.
Perhaps his more general comments about America(ns) are based on a more limited view of San Francicso? <shrug> People will always see what they expect (want?) to see.
