Re: Dating Websites
It's also worth pointing out that there are millions of Cambodian women who would have little or no interest in getting involved with anyone outside their culture. Otherwise Bitte_Kein_Lexus' post was very astute.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Dating Websites
I had a conversation with her and her mom about that years ago before she met her husband. Her mom was telling her to go for an expat but I told them that plenty of expats are bad news around Cambodia. I told her just look for a good man and not to worry about Khmer/Barang. She ignored mom and met her husband.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 12:19 pm Second, this might also be obvious, but you should warn her that foreigners aren't all that different from Khmers... As much as I don't like agreeing with explorer, he's right, so she should adjust her expectations accordingly. Western men aren't saints. I'm sure most of the posters here (myself included) have at some point in time been "that asshole" she now despises.
Side note - I found out she has a few Khmer suitors already. She is attractive and she makes her own money now that she bought a cart and works at her moms noodle shop. Nothing fancy but beats the 9-5.
Just thinking back about when I lived in Cambodia, none of the people I was friendly with and would hook her up with were single. Guess the good ones get snatched up pretty quick

What are the apps Jamie and General use so I can tell her what to avoid?Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:23 pm Yeah, Badoo, Tinder (should use Tinder+), as its more functional but costs around a fiver a month.
Also, Line and WhatsApp are good for finding people in your proximity and exchanging messages etc.

unless shes over the hill then dating apps arent a good source tbh, its very hit and miss, you might find the odd decent lad on there, but theres probably twice as many that arent decent, Badoo was good, but went downhill a few years ago, Tinder is popular, although originally it was known as a hook up app, someone mentioned Facebook, which is good as you can usually/sometimes get an idea of what kind of person they are, but often requires either randomly adding them as a friend and/or sending a random message to a stranger, the message can often end up in the persons 'other' folder which may never be read, you can randomly like someones photo to possibly get their attention, but the Facebook route can be seen as a little creepy, unless they see ya and are interested lol
me personally i do find the best way to meet people is just socially through friends of friends

If you spend time with Cambodian people, you sometimes have mothers ask you to find good husbands for their daughters. I tell them, If I met a good man looking for a Cambodian wife, I would introduce him to a lot of girls, and let him decide who he likes.

Re: Dating Websites
A lot of Western men in Cambodia have small brains and consume excessive amounts of alcohol. Decent Western men make better husbands than most Cambodian men. Anyone who consumes excessive amounts of alcohol will not make a good husband.

Re: Dating Websites
Yeah, its not easy OP. Mrs Cargo knows a few decent khmer girls interested in barang and she has asked me if I know some equally decent barang guys that she could introduce for them.
The problem is many of the guys I know are often older than what these girls are after and then even younger guys are often not looking for marriage which is what these girls want. They want serious guys that can commit rather than temporary gf.
Then there is the issue of whether the guy lives here or not. Some of the girls are open to going overseas but others are not. A lot of younger guys find it difficult to live here permanently given the work/visa situation and earning a decent $. Not the case so much with older guys who are retired and financially independent.

Re: Dating Websites
A lot of younger guys don't want to settle in Cambodia because it's boring. Met a lot of guys in their late 20s/ early 30s through my job and they always say the same thing: Career wise, Cambodia is awesome. As far as entertainment and social life are concerned, Cambodia sucks major monkey balls. After two/ three years, they either move to Thailand/ Singapore or head back to the west.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 11:43 am Yeah, its not easy OP.

Younger guys don't want a glorified maid. They want an actual partner. Bringing an uneducated/ unqualified Cambodian woman back home doesn't make any sense on the long haul. I know. Things are changing and an increasing number of Cambodian women are educated. If you compare a UCLA graduate to a PUC graduate though, you'll quickly realize that education in Cambodia is still way behind.
There's also the idea (among the younger crowd) that if you settle for a Cambodian woman, you must be one big fat loser.

The WASP chimes in again with his dismal opinions on everything here.
