I hate to burst your bubble, but not all Thai men are the same.Originally Posted by thaiguest
This particular Thai man does not enjoy drinking at all.
No, I did not know that before I met him.
I think that's charming actually, but I don't like him otherwise.
I was willing to meet him at least half way, listening to what he wanted. That is something human about considering the other person. While I understand the thing very well about pushing things with Thais, I think it actually was a great "test" of his willingness to bother expending any energy at all to meet me half way (asking about the menu).
No, it was certainly not an intentional test, I am no saint, but I'm not that much of an A-hole either.
Yes westerners are different, he claims to want to be with a westerners in a long term relationship, and he's not willing to communicate about things. Forget about it! For me, it would be a total nightmare to live with someone like that. Now I'm curious, some of you guys can live with that? That seems crazy to me.
Yes I know what you're thinking, I'll probably never find a suitable Thai man with my attitude and you may be right. That's why I'm open to meeting Cambodians! (And others.)
I don't mind the hard nosed comments though. I can learn from them, consider what I do in future in light of that input, not that I'm buying all the advice verbatim.
