1. Look, I have only had limited exposure to Phils girls. Been on a few short visits to Manila over the years, seen throngs of Filipinas all around Hong Kong on Sundays and out partying at night in Wan Chai, and see them here and there in Taiwan. Physically, I don't think they look like so much like Thai girls, at least many of the more attractive Thai girls. And man, they are just so short. I strongly prefer girls who are at least 5'5", preferably pushing 5'7" or more. Taller girls are just so much sexier and attractive IMO. These days, Thailand has a fair number of these, both regular and P4P. From what I've seen of Filipinas, they are short. Correct me if I am wrong but don't most fall between 4'10" and 5'3"? Are there perhaps certain areas or sub-cultures where taller Filipinas are more common?ladislav wrote:
I cannot imagine why so many guys prefer Thais to Filipinas. Outside of the hostility to white/Asian couples and being taken for a whore inconvenience, there are also visa problems ( almost none in RP), having to pay the bride price, huge cultural and language differences -it would be hard for both to adjust to each other's cultures. And then a Filipina's US-style education in English and openness to other cultures and races makes it so much a better choice. Mixed kids are also accepted in the Philippine society and are well liked. And a Thai and a Filipina look the same basically. So, why do those men prefer Thais?
They are not subtle if you know the language. I do pretty well. So the horrible things they say and the way they call can you make your ears wither.In all of the cases I observed including my own, I never got the vibe that they felt any shame or reluctance in walking around town with their western dates/boyfriends/husbands. But I supposed Thais can be very subtle and I hardly know any of the language. Its possible that I as the stupid farang missed the elephant standing in the room.
2. Aren't mixed kids (Western-Thai) also accepted in the Thai society and well liked?
3. OK, perhaps a lot of rude Thai comments or body language that I missed were directed my way when I walked around with a regular Thai girl. But I have to wonder, why wouldn't this bother the girl I was with if it was happening so much like you say? And where would you encounter such rudeness? I hope it was just in the lower end touristy venues. Does Thai polite society engage in such behavior as well?
