I can't think of anything ruder than horny men who have to be all brainy and intelligent with their TGs. As my father used to say, if you can't say anything mundane to your girls, don't say anything at all or they may stop sleeping with you. He was right: It's not so nice to be smarter than the poor little things.
Why did you have to say all that stuff about that book you're reading? Would it have been so hard to keep your love of literature to yourself? When you display your intelligence to the Issan girls you're talking to, you're really just telling them that you don't have enough respect for them to keep your smarts to yourself.
Reeling off a list of your favorite jazz artists may make you a good parrot, but it doesn't make you a good lover. Good farang men hold their tongues, knowing they could hurt Issan girl's feelings if they show knowledge their sex partner doesn't have.
I'm sorry to have to set you straight, but most Thai girls don't speak because they want to be educational. They speak because they want to be nice. They have an interest in interacting with men in a non-confrontational manner that doesn't make them feel like dummies.
In other words, they just want to be friendly. What's friendly about bringing up some article about the Mideast crisis you read in The New York Times? Not much, that's for certain. No, it's friendlier to say unchallenging things about the time you ate, and let the girls feel like they know as much as you do.
There's more to life than being well-informed and cultured. There's good graces, good manners, and good old-fashioned horse sense -especially when it comes to knowing when to talk and when to keep your mouth shut. And, let me tell you, you may know something about astronomy, but you could certainly stand to learn a thing or two about politeness in a Thai environment .
Do you think Thai girls want to hear your views on abstract art or the First Amendment? No one wants to hear things they don't already know, because that just makes them feel dumb.
I don't think it's your goal to try to make the girls feel stupid, but you seem to have this fixation with sharing your intelligence with them. That doesn't make any sense to me. Do you know how you sound when you do that? When you say something like "I'm a big Kubrick fan," what the girl hear is, "Look at me! I know things!" And nobody likes to hear that.
I don't know why you want to come off all smart and well-read, anyway. Sure, with your head full of facts, you may seem to have the world at your feet, but if you keep it up, you'll soon have no one to share it with. Smart people are the loneliest people in the world. They don't have anyone to talk to except other smart people, and who wants to join a conversation between two smart people? No one I know. 
So, if you want to keep the girlfriends you have and maybe even make some new ones, try being a little less of a know-it-all and a little more of a know-it-some. I mean, would it really kill you to think the capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur? It could only help. Trust me.

Amen Brother,
Keeping conversations friendly also avoids sticking one's foot in mouth.
By the way, who are you talking to?

Smegma; a good post.
Nearly every Thai person I have dealt with has left me with the distinct impression that they are naturally very very intelligent people. Sure, I have the education, I have the opportunities, I have the "good" job and live in a "rich" country. That's just an accident of birth as they say.
Most farangs I know who have had a situation end badly for them in dealing with a Thai have forgotten the simple fact that uneducated does not automatically equate to a lack of intelligence.
Given an even start in life, it is us who would be wiping their tables and serving their food. Disregard that fact at your own peril.

"Nearly every Thai person I have dealt with has left me with the distinct impression that they are naturally very very intelligent people."
Hmmm...that's extraordinary. After all, intelligence is also essentially an accident of birth too (yes there are some variables). Odds are -- and my experience has been -- that Thais are just like any other nationality; some are very very intelligent and some are less so -- and some aren't intelligent at all.

I agree with Mr. Joe.
Further, Minder, I take exception to your comment -

Given that about 300 years ago, both America and Thailand were third-world rat-holes, but since then there has been substantial divergence.
Each country has its moment on the stage of world history. Right now America is strutting its stuff. Who's up next? My guess would be the Chinese, not the Thai.

Darwin just rolled over in his grave Joe....thanks for the laugh....Yes, there are variables one of which is racial lines.
I'm just tired of people who think the Thai's are stupid because they are poor or don't read the "New York Post". I'm just saying if you make that mistake to it will cost you.
