Why Western Women Have A Hard Time Dating In Thailand

[@UrdnotAkongo]

Was just like you Forrest, except I met a Thai woman who was on vacation here in NYC. First time dating a native Thai girl, my god the difference was astounding, you weren't exaggerating. She was only here for a short time, was dropdead gorgeous, S Class in terms of looks and figure, could literally get any guy she wants, but we clicked anyway. While I worked in Manhattan, I told her she's free to do anything she wants while I'm at work, I didn't want to tie her down away from touristy things in NYC on her short time here. But you know what she did? Visits me at work, bought snacks for me, and she waits in the lobby till I got off work so we can have dinner together. Hit me in the feels, I've never met anyone put in effort *for me*. She eventually had to go back, haven't seen each other for 3 years. Fast forward to today, work has gone fully remote, I told her I'm planning to go to Thailand. Her reaction? She tells me to stay at her house, starts sending me step by step information about Thailand Pass and visas and SHA hotels, links and information, ready to book everything for me. I need to marry this woman

Okay, now that I've watched the whole video I did NOT expect that but I probably should have. All I can say is, my experience has been identical to yours. I even dated a Canadian woman here in BKK who completely turned me off to western women just like in your case. It's not always easy to talk about, or for others to comprehend, but it is reality and if westerners (women, etc) can somehow come to understand, they will be much better off.

[@randomCADstuff]

Sorry to hear it had to be a Canadian woman ;-) . Living in Canada I can say that there is a bit of a reputation with Canadian women. Most of my foreign friends prefer not to date them in fact. However, they aren't as bad as their reputation abroad might indicate; it's partially due to our culture and class separation. Most women that travel and live abroad come from higher than average levels of entitlement. And most women from more humble backgrounds tend to get married off earlier and usually don't travel for as long or live abroad.

[@Gothicc_senpai]

@@randomCADstuff living in canada myself i have to say women are turned off from blue collar men, the feminist are growing but thats perhaps because i live in toronto and im young, working to leave cause i cant find people looking for monogamy here.

[@randomCADstuff]

@@Gothicc_senpai Women are "kind of" turned off by Blue Collar men. Case example: I have a friend who used to go to the bar with his friend pretending to be helicopter pilots. Both did very well. Lying works wonders, especially when used on shallow people. Working in office environments I got far better vibes from either foreign women or women raised by immigrants compared to Canadian women. I work on construction sites now with many Latin Americans. There's actually quite a few "blue collar" women who would be great catches (they are younger, I'm 40 years old). Oddly, many are very well educated and have the intelligence to match. I don't want to explicitly state that Canada has a "bad generation" of women. Many of the "good" catches get married off at early ages. Due to extreme entitlement however I do have to say that the stereotype is valid. The antidote of course is the huge influx of immigration and with that brings women with very different traits than the typical white-chick-syndrome we've all encountered. Some of the Latina girls on construction sites work in some of the hardest trades. They are actually really good at what they do; they work insanely hard. And when they let their hair down... holy shit!! As mentioned I'm a bit too old to date them which makes my occupation quite torturous (I otherwise love my job). I'm sorry that you're having trouble in Toronto as I've heard it's a very international city. I haven't been there personally (other than layovers) so wouldn't know.

[@SamSung-du4iy]

I think one of the biggest point you've missed is that women (and also men) in Asia and non Asian countries in general has a stronger sense of family values. Thus female are brought up to take up traditional roles as wives and mothers. They are more willing to compromise their individualistic needs to keep the family together. Same goes for men. But we shouldn't look at it as being weak or submissive, traditional women can be strong in their own terms. Modern Western society is a lot more individualistic so that's why you get this 'combative mindset' in relationships . And I won't get into new wave feminism. Modern dating culture in the West is basically a mess as some people put it.

Love and dating is a marketplace. Men come to Thailand (or Asia) and finally experience what American women experience their whole lives..."being in demand". And western women experience in Thailand what men have experienced their whole lives back home..."being easily replaceable".

I want to speak up for the kind, smart, non combative western women. We are a small number, but we are here. I have had the same adversion to the kind of women you are taking about since highschool. It is the western EGO that shows up in women. It is the same ego as in men, it just expresses itself differently. The western EGO is the reason I am moving to Thailand. Remember to keep your own selfish EGO in check when dating these naturally kind women. And remember that it is not always skin that defines us

[@madamenerina]

This! Also, as a western woman I had no issues here. Thai men adore me, often want to protect and spoil me, and I married a Thai man. I can switch between my masculine and feminine energy. I do agree that feminist ideology in the West has become all about hating on men / women being in their masculine energy too much.

[@metubenoggin07]

[@Yairoo06]

I think it depends on the Thai women. I married a Thai woman who I met in America . She comes from an upper middle class family in Thailand and her views are much more in line with western feminism. So just be aware there is a class divide in Thailand. Higher educated, well off Thai women are gonna be more like western women. The poorer ones of course will treat you like a king . Economic motivations will shape attitudes no matter what country You're in.

[@elaoroekutai]

I generally agree with the facts you said about the reasons Western women find it difficult to date in Thailand. It is somewhat true that women outnumber men in the country, and that was the case at a university that I recently graduated from. The part where you said that the Western culture has a more combative approach, that is also true which indicates that they tend to be more aggressive in which the Asian culture may not like. In recent years on KZbin, I started to see Western women who are dating or got married to Thai men. In my opinion, the tide is slowly changing and I think more men in Thailand (myself included) are open to dating Western women after seeing videos on other people's experiences.

[@FrazerHatyai]

Having resided in Thailand for 14 years and having formed friendships with many individuals in relationships with Thai partners, I've reached a conclusion. Do Thai women prefer foreigners over Thais? As a whole, the answer is NO. Given the choice between a Thai or foreign partner of equal status, attractiveness, education, and wealth, they would almost always opt for the Thai. From my encounters with thousands of Thai women dating foreign men, a common pattern emerges. Most of these women are: Dark-skinned from Isaan Have short, stubby noses Often single mothers Have a high number of past relationships or have been involved in the sex industry at some point. While this isn't representative of everyone, it's the case for the majority. As you can see, these individuals rank lower in the Thai dating pool. High-quality Thai men typically prefer light-skinned partners with more defined features, who are educated and come from respectable families far removed from the sex industry. Women in this lower category of the dating pool may only attract a motorbike taxi driver or someone of similar social status or wealth. They observe that foreigners do not discriminate based on skin color when seeking a partner, and many overlook their background or past involvement in the sex industry. Therefore, they target foreigners because Thai men want nothing to do with them.

[@metubenoggin07]

Interesting. From my perspective, I've routinely been disrespected, rejected and made to feel like I have a communicable disease with Western women -- many of them average at best even as they have an elevated opinion of themselves. Among women in the Philippines and more recently in Thailand, I'm made to feel like something close to a freakin' God. I'm not delusional, I'm average, I accept it, but I've always been nice and respectful to everyone but the difference between Asian and Western women is undeniably huge.

When I got out and started thinking about marriage, western girls just didn't compare to those from Southeast Asia. It's all the little things my Vietnamese girlfriend (now wife) did that blew me away. She'd surprise me with a coffee or a treat, plan a date, buy me shirts I liked, drop off lunch at work that she made, invited me to her place for a home cooked meal and even offer to run errands for me, all without me asking. In a decade of dating Western girls, not once did any of them make such simple, sweet gestures. It's the small acts of kindness that make all the difference.

[@alangioro]

No matter how strong a man is, I mean both physically and mentally, there’s always a “boy” inside him. A man wants to be treated as a boy or a kid in a relationship, at least 10% of the time. Of course not about cuddling, but giving more tolerance to his hobbies (healthy ones) and sometimes silliness and etc. No one should dictate the other in a relationship, you need a partner but not a boss, a queen, an instructor or a policeman or something else, it’s about feeling comfortable with each other and appreciated being together. Simple as.

Glad you are enjoying CM. I was there in Dec a couple years ago and weather was fantastic! I hiked and biked my butt off. Still a lot I didn’t see like that Coffee Shop you got your Green Tea ( Mosha ?). In Thailand the Western girls can catch my eye but I prefer the Thai ladies for all the same reasons as you. Keep the Vids coming Forest cuz I always look fwd to your adventures !

I just ignore the western girls when I’m in Thailand so they can see how they like it being ignored.

I look at pretty western women the same way I look at a nice classic car at the car show. They look good but most are not comfortable to drive and I don't want to buy one. Too much maintenance and up keep.

[@stuartr7832]

1 word defines western women . Entitled . High maintenance would also be an apt description.

Thai wives will also be entitled, you'll see. Entitled to your bank account to bank role their families. Western women have their own money and don't need yours. Guess it makes you feel worthless. Whose fault is that?

so u need women to make u feel like a man? lmao

[@benharris15]

@@ally3477 he doesn't need one, he just doesn't want to be controlled by one. Woman have a collective anger towards men these days for the wrong doings of earlier generations. It is understanding in that sense, but in this day in age, there is a confusion towards what is a real man and a real woman. Men are being taught to be more like women, and woman are wanting to take the lead, and be the man. This is a problem. I understand why women feel like this but we're going in a wrong direction. Yes there could be more of a balance, but sadly we are going to extremes. You take away the work of a man that makes him feel useful, and you take away what he is designed to do. Which is to protect and provide. We keep going this way, and we'll end up with useless men, not knowing how to change a light bulb, let alone change a tire. Surely you can see the implications of this on a larger scale.

[@ally3477]

irrelevant. his own words - men want to be MADE to feel like men. and what is the definition of real women and real men? the wrong doings of earlier generation is not the point here. the point is him generalising traits of women he met to the entire race. how is that earlier generation? came from his own mouth. feminism or not, equality is equality, women can be houswives, men can be househusbands, women can be leaders, men can be leaders. i understand you not hearing your own words, but the problem is men like you being insecure when women take the lead ;)

I'm mixed Puerto Rican and West Indian (Bahamas) born and raised in NYC, Been to Canada, Bahamas Puerto Rico and traveled all over Asia and the Pacific including Thailand and lived in Japan for 5 straight years. This guy is speaking the 110% truth. These countries have some of the most relationship minded women and they really do excel in the feminine, girlfriend, wife department. Thailand is definitely at the top levels of the spectrum. Beautiful people, great food and beautiful women. Can't say it enough.

[@Dadashhhh]

This guy pretty much summed it up 👍

[@ATIWatchReviews]

Most westerners would not want to date western women in an eastern country. You'd want the translation/cultural assistance benefits that you get from dating a local lady. Plus you may not like the way western girls have treated you, hence going to the country in the first place!

[@nathanandsopa]

The thing about Thai women is that they are far too motivated by money. I say this with experience from 17 years of marriage to my Thai wife and anecdotal evidence from friends over the years. I'm sure we've all heard stories of friends that have been taken on endless shopping trips or ditched for taking their Thai girlfriend to the wrong hotel or constantly nagged to buy them gifts. And this is not just the Thai village girlfriends. I have a friend who met the parents of his middle class Thai girlfriend over dinner at home, decided to take her on holiday, couldn't get the "right" hotel for the first night so had to get a substitute with the intention of moving to the better hotel the following day. His Thai girlfriend just split and left him on arrival at the first hotel and never answered his calls again!

[@fs5775]

you guys want a lady with a "traditional" mindset and so you get it. Man = breadwinner/ATM machine. You got what you wanted now quit complaining

[@ThePhysics1234]

"strong feminist attitude" You mean strong inequality attitude. Feminism in itself is not wrong , it emphasizes equality where men and women can be equal, but every feminist i know ended up having traditional expectations from men and modern advantages for themselves which in itself is injustice and hypocrisy. secondly , "western women being combative". They are not combative they arrogant and stupid. Most of their arguments are not arguments , they are just a bunch of insults and ad hominem attacks and changing the subject when it fits them. An argument goes on the line , person A has an argument , person B listens and responds, person A does the same. Their "argument" stops with ability to listen let alone construct a coherent response. If they are in an actual debate and respected the rules of a debate they would lose.

Been with my Thai GF here in the USA. For about 7 months now. I dont think that I can go back to dating a western woman. And you are correct, its the little things. The way she does the dishes, makes my bed and folds my clothes when they are on the ground. And the smile, oh my god her cute smile. She always smiles. Western women dont smile enough. Looking forward to a honeymoon in thailand when that time comes. Would love to retire early at 55 and live there for 5 years then come back when im 60 to withdrawl from retirement while doing a half and half back and forth lifestyle between Thailand and USA.

[@738031334135]

I feel so confused and hurt 🥺 I spoiled the hell out of my ex. We met when I was 17 and he 25 (yes, I see the problem now), and were together for 14 years before I discovered his cheating. I bought lingerie, took him on vacations, supported him during a period of unemployment, helped him buy a car, and did regular, everyday little sweet things like you and many of the men here and elsewhere mention, and he would barely touch me. I stayed faithful even though I was dying for sex, and even after discovering the infidelity. I'm a bi primal sub, so I would have been open to threesomes or more. He still kept cheating and denying me sex. Divorced him finally at 32 after I couldn't take the torture and celibacy anymore . He was the only man I was ever with, so I waited eight months to date to work on myself/heal to be ready for another relationship. I dated a few men and would do sweet things like bring them surprise treats at work, make special meals, plan outings around their/our interests. It was never reciprocated, and I felt like most guys were just looking to get laid and didn't want anything long term. Now I might be moving to Thailand as a single 34 year old from the US, and this video and its comments have me worrying if I'll be able to find someone to have a romantic relationship with there too 😭
