At the Internet cafe the ladyboy-in-training lurked outside and followed me when I left. He had learned from the first time and kept his distance to me when people in the soi could see him. He did not want to feed the rumours.
But when I was in darker areas he came up to me and was chatting, wondering where I was going. I believe he hoped for an invitation.
The ladyboy-in-training is already behaving like he owns me. If he owns me, do I own him? I have demands too.
Should I tell him to quit smoking? Should I instruct him to always wear a helmet when he drives (in that fem gay way) his red motorbike? I think he spends too much time playing games in the Internet cafe. He should be at home reading Shakespeare. Is it my job to tell him this?
I also have views on the ladyboy-in-training’s hair. He is growing it long. Any longer and he becomes a ladyboy for real. I would like to keep it not too long and if he could please revert to the original black colour? He is cute with the bleached stripes but nothing beats shiny black Thai hair.
All this digging into the lives of Thai boys makes me realise I should learn more Thai. Not that it always helps, but at least they can then misinform me in their native language.

I have always felt that being in a long-term relationship with a Thai is very much like peeling an onion. A lot of tears and will it look any different at the end?

that’s why ive given up on thai boys. its just not worth the time and effort.
i prefer singapore guys. they urban, mostly financially independent, cute and there are more things to talk about with sg boys. i can see them as equals, really. and they have their own cash. i like that.

The minute you start looking at a Thai through western eyes you will find something you will want to change. You might even never have an indepth intellectual conversation with rational conclusions. Just stop and accept that you may never quite understand them, and focus on the positive things…i.e. their good heart.

that’s my problem really. have got no patience. honestly, it takes more than just a good heart to make a relationship work for me. i LIKE in depth intellectual conversations. i like guys who are mentally mature and confident and urban and academically gifted and financially secure. you can never fully understand anybody, really. ive met a wonderful singapore guy. and he’s much LESS work that my thai exes.
and yes. he’s got a heart of gold too and lotsa attitude. but thats another story. but i kinda love the attitude sg guys have. maybe its just me…
