So Joy immediately scratched the guy with the bad picture off his list. But who knows, this could have been the man of Joy's dreams if he had only used a decent photo!
The other two men's photo looked nice. The both were in their late 40's or early 50's (Joy is 22 but it is not unusual for Thai women to be very attracted to older foreign men) and had very respectable photos of themselves. Joy immediately contacted both of them.
The first guy happened to be online at the time. Joy and the man chatted for a few minutes and all was going well. Then the man quickly changed the subject and offered Joy 30,000 Baht to stay with him for a month while he traveled. This violates rule #2 which is that most of the women on TLL are not prostitutes! Yes, there are probably some out there but the overwhelming majority are real Thai ladies like Joy. These girls will obviously take offense to your request and you'll never hear from them again.
So, Joy had three men contact her but two of them struck out very quickly. Joy emailed the third guy over a period of about 2 weeks. The two really hit it off and Joy really liked this man. The guy was going to be traveling to Thailand and spend some time in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Unfortunately, Joy lives on the island of Samui.
Our guy that was coming to Thailand on vacation requested several times that Joy meet him either in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. The relationship soon fizzled out because Joy could not travel to either of these locations. This is rule #3 which is if you are traveling to Thailand, always go to the girl and never the girl to you!. Joy is a University student and has classes. She obviously did not have time to travel. Most girls on Thai Love Links either are students or work during the day. The guy however was on vacation and could more easily meet the girl at her home town. It's also a security problem when Thai girls meet their foreign men for the first time. Usually, the girl will want to bring along another friend (usually a girlfriend or gay Thai man) for safety reasons.
So Joy is still looking for her man. I hope that you can learn from the mistakes of our three guys profiled here today so you don't make that mistake for yourself. If you take these tips to heart, you'll quickly find that a Thai girl will fall in love with you much more easily when you look nice, treat them with respect and respect their time.
