Absorbing thread. Like Baquawn, I am surprised I missed it too first time. I vaguely remember something identical being discussed on another thread, maybe several other threads. Come to think of it, it is at the subconscious level in every thread, I think. Not having encountered many farang (white) women (other than smiling at some in a club or two and being generally rebuffed) I am not well placed to comment on white women attitudes. I can certainly talk about brown (non-Thai) women attitudes and they are equally the pits.
My 2-baht bit is : once you get the taste of Thailand, you are finished as a patriot for your own country. Everything else simply pales into insignificance. The women in your own country are just not worth looking at even.
There was a time I would try and smile at stranger women in my city simply because I wanted to make eye contact and just smile (I love smiling at strangers) but not anymore. I make up for all the lost facial exercises whenever I visit Thailand. In a few days there I smile much more than I smile in my home country. And what rich rewards I reap! Every smile is returned. I will go further than TPE and say that it is not just the girls and women who smile easily even the guys. A smile comes so easily here. The old men smile, the young guys smile, the ladies smile, the cabbies smile, the only people who do not smile are people from my own country.
I used to suspect that Thais generally are very hospitable to all tourists because of the critical importance of tourism to the economy. But I think I have been proved wrong already. In the malls and the food courts, on the roads and the skytrains, any and every where, you can see Thai guys and girls laughing most of the time. Walk down Sukhumvit or Silom, and don't you see the street vendors generally having a laugh with each other ? It is as if Thais possess the secret of coping with their stresses. They laugh.
Probably, it is their innate humility that leads them to treat every other culture with great respect, in contrast to people in the rest of the world who behave as if there are none better than themselves, there is no country greater than their own, no culture stronger than their own, no skin fairer, no blood redder.
Ever since my first visit to Thailand, I have learnt to hit the ESC key more readily in my dealings with the world. It makes more sense. Turn away and immerse myself in Thai memories (aren't they legion, so varied and inspirational). Probably a fit case for a shrink. But I said that at the outset. You are finished as your old self once you discover Thailand. Ahh sweet!

Just cannot stop now. All evening I have been recollecting Thai experiences after posting my comments. All evening??? In Thailand I would be enacting them all evening. Away from LOS I can only vegetate, gearing up for my next foray. This is the Thailand effect. Baquawn, that was an apt comment : "basically we are all f***ed." Absolutely. Screwed up inside out. Misfits in our own homes now that we have tasted paradise on earth.
I remember one heady night in Bangkok, drinking away for hours in a club with a TG whom I befriended there. A cute warm girl she was. After my money ? Wait till you read this.
At 2 am as the lights came on and the band wound up I asked her if she would like to come to my hotel. She agreed. I had had about 6 bottles by then. She could have taken me for a ride, right ? In another country this would have been a foolish thing to do.
As we walked out on to the road, a gaggle of cabbies accosted us offering a ride. They were uniform in their rates: 200 baht. To one guy I offered 100. My girl gripped my elbow tight then softly hissed "No!" Walking on without breaking a step, she continued calmly but sternly : "We pay by meter." A few steps further up and she perfunctorily opened a cab door and got in with me after her. Very calmly she directed the cab to my hotel. The guy obediently pressed the meter on and we were away. When we reached the hotel the meter read 49 baht, and I paid him 50. The cabbie even wished us goodnight.
And she wasn't a regular GF of mine. Just a girl I vibed with in a club, never met her before, or again, just someone I was highly privileged to have over for a few hours, absolutely sweet in bed -- an angel of a night I will cherish forever.

Some of you folks really do need a dose of reality. Sure, LOS can be a lot of fun, but so can farang land. Farang land can really suck sometimes, but so can LOS.
Yeah, that's right, I've been bored out of my f***ing mind in LOS before. After a dozen temples and a dozen girls I'm usually ready to get on the next plane out of there and kiss the overpowering pollution good bye.
You think talking to farang girls is hard? Well, try learning Thai and then tell me how hard it is to talk to farang girls. Speaking to farang girls is nothing compared to learning Thai.

Yeah, but it's getting farang girls to shut the f*** up that's hard.
Talking Thai with Thai girls is easy. Most of what Thai girls say could be summed up in either "Give me...", "OK" or "later". If you're getting in deeper and it's getting too complex, then you probably need to learn how to say "Give me...", "OK" or "later" as well.
Temples? I think I saw enough in my first month in LOS to last a lifetime. I don't bother with that kind of stuff anymore.

Simply can't understand how so very many farangs get married to TGs' and expect to live happily ever after.
Maybe speaking Thai to them helps.

I had not checked on this thread (that I started) in a while. Most points are on target. Nothing changes. 99.9 percent of guys here have never been to Thailand so will continue to make fools of themselves (as far as I am concerned) with farang women. Women I wouldn't even talk to in LOS make eye contact more than infrequently with me here-but I'm just not interested.
Not that I wouldn't mind taking a poke at some of them but I don't want to deal with the hassle that goes along with it. 
Back in March I was having lunch with a friend at a nice restaurant and looked up to catch an attractive girl about 22 or so,nicely dressed,sitting with friends,staring constantly at me. Continously. Her eyes darted away each of the five or six times I caught her. I didn't even bother. Too much trouble.
I'm thinking: "OK,So I'm with this chick,and come October what kind of excuse am I going to make when I cut out to LOS for three weeks?" I could lie of course but that doesn't seem right. And not coming to BKK is not even a remote option.
Asian chicks here is what keeps me going. There ARE some. I missed the response from Poskat,who has proven himself an idiot on this board before.
He said Broad Ripple was depressing and had no attractive girls. He must have been in a different Broad Ripple than I was last summer. Smattering of Asians and even some decent-looking farangs. Although I'll admit the fat chicks are aggressive and you may need to run for your life!  (I'm serious) Oh,well I'm going to go party down there next month and I'll give a report of any "conquests" for my fan club.

It is the same as visiting Thailand, those who have been there understand those who haven't don't.

- certainly don't consider sex to be any where near the greatest things in life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, my interests in most other things have waxed and waned throughout my life, literature and red wine, team sports and motor cars, fine dining and theatre, money and travel, family and children - all have moved up and down the list but sex and the pursuit of it have remained solidly at number one since, at 4 years old I started playing Doctor will the little girl next door. If that seems shallow to anyone else then thank god I'm shallow enough not to care. Enjoy.

Yo,
Hi Emerald..hope you had a good 4th!
Minder: Your ever changing priority list is spot on...except I have no children and in all honesty would have to substitute movies for theatre...but regardless mine are always changing as well.
I have a question regarding "a dose of reality with asian girls"
I dont mean to "shine my own apple" but I considered myself a strong 7 1/2 when I lived in Thailand..now that I am back in the states and have gotten hitched and put on 15 or so pounds I definiltly would have to depend moreso on my "wit and charm" if I were to become single again, especially with chicks in LA
my query regarding reality is this:
Prior to moving to Thailand I did not have "rice fever" but since I have been back I notice asian girls giving me the "eye" a shit load more than they did prior to 2002 when I was late 20's early 30's and more on the "law" side. It is not my imagination, as it has sparked more than a few jealous moments for the thai wife. (most of you know how they get)
is this because I am married?
or is it because they can sense that I am 100% only attracted to asian women? (ok I have seen 1 or 2 farang women here in LA I would have a go with LOL!)
Am I crazy to think I give off some type of vibe to asian women...or did I just not notice before?
I dont agree with the later, as I used to notice just about any chick giving me the "eye"...especially like some asians back in farangland have, and a few I would of easily considered out of my league in farangland (believe me, I have made 3 or 4 detailed mental notes of these "eyeballers", if you catch my drift "wink wink")
cheers all,
