Today I’m going to talk about why Thai women are so uniquely different to Western women. Most Western men will agree that Thai women are quite different in their behaviour and attitudes compared to Western women so you may ask yourself a question – why is that so?
A lot has to do with the traditional way a Thai woman is brought up.
Thai girls are brought up to respect their partners, their elders, and in particular their parents. They also learn in their formative years to respect and nurture the greater good of the family. The Buddhist philosophy is to strive for harmony rather than confrontation. It is also less important to be independent individuals but more significant to be part of the community.
This means accommodating other people and taking care of their loved ones is of vital importance to Thai Girls. They are always considerate to the needs and feelings of others.
In the West we are brought up to be as independent and self-gratifying as possible. Western parents encourage this, it is part of our upbringing. Over the last 20 – 30 years we also have seen a tendency to encourage girls to be much more aggressive, outspoken, fend for themselves and confidently and aggressively pursue their ideals and goals. A lot of positive things have come from this, but it appears the pendulum may have swung a little too far. Whether we like this or not it has resulted in a lot of young women these days being overly competitive and masculine. They have lost their feminine touch and desirability. In extreme cases we now see young girls being “boy racers” or trying to out-drink men at the bar. We see girls forming gangs and going around bullying people and many other strange occurrences of truly unfeminine behaviour. Although these may be extreme examples, they show a general trend that is truly concerning.
This leads to many Western men being put off by these overtly confident and aggressive young women, and so they turn to less competitive partners.
Thai Girls however are brought up to spread harmony and to respect their partners and support them. This does not automatically mean that all Thai Girls are quiet, subservient and docile creatures that never speak up. It is not uncommon for Thai women to hold the purse- strings. It is expected of her to run the household and have full control of the finances. At the same time she expects her husband to provide for her and any children. This is a clear demarcation of expectations and makes it easier to have a clear-cut, straightforward and predictable relationship.
A Thai woman is not likely to compete with her Western husband or challenge him on each and every issue that comes up. She is also not likely to dress him down, embarrass or challenge him publicly, as this would embarrass her partner and reflect badly on her. “Losing face” – embarrassing themselves in public – is more shameful than the few cheap points she could score by embarrassing her husband. She will let him know in private, in a quiet, respectful way of her disapproval over any issue.
Most Thai Girls would have seen their mother successfully juggling to bring up several kids and run a household without the help of electric appliances. Therefore she won’t see housekeeping as a terrible chore, just part of her normal life. She won’t expect her husband to do his “fair share” when he comes home exhausted from work and nag him endlessly about how stressed she is. She will certainly greatly appreciate any help given voluntarily and with a smile, but she won’t loudly demand it every single day.
There are many other differences that drive Western men in the thousands to Thai Girls. The fact that you found this directory, and you are reading this article, you know it makes perfect sense that a loving relationship with a Thai Girl is going to be just perfect for you. You may need some help with achieving this, like a step-by-step system. There are a lot of cultural differences to be aware of between Thai Girls and Western men, so you need to be cautious to make a relationship with a Thai lady work. I wish you the best of luck and a pleasant journey on the road to happiness.
