Good info, thanks man appreciate it!
You say westerners play a few leagues higher. Is that always the case or do educated women avoid western men because they don't want everyone to think she is a bar-girl, like every other thai woman with a white man?
It is my impression that everyone will assume a woman is a bar-girl if they see a farang with a thai girl. Maybe that is exaggerated?
It is a fairly safe assumption that if you have a 20 yrs younger dark-skinned girl, with a flat-ish nose that she is a postwhore.... This ethnicity comes from the poorer areas.
A lighter skinned girl with a shapely nose, well dressed, well educated, well spoken - with a partner about the same age - people will not make the same assumption. Still - there aren't many couples like that here.
In terms of what you can get being a westerner in Thailand. It works the same as anywhere else. The richer you are, the younger/prettier/shallower the girl you can get. Am 80 year old billionaire in the US can easily get a 20 year old girlfriend. It's just that we are relatively more wealthy and so we really go up a few leagues in relative wealth. That moves us up a few leagues in terms of women.
It really is no different to anywhere else in that respect.
