Why do a large amount of foreigners in Cambodia like dark skin Khmer girls?

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Why do a large amount of foreigners in Cambodia like dark skin Khmer girls?

Post by Jimmy Crow »

:whip2: :geek:

A friend of mine named Gary said this to me last night “Jimmy we go for the dark skin birds because nobody wants them plus most of us foreigners end up with bar girls since we don’t have the money,cant speak the language or desire to go through the process of dowry arrangements and so forth”
I asked him to explain further and he explained that in Asia the white skin girls are the cream on the cake and most wealthy men in Asia opt for a white skin asian and in very very rare occasions will marry a dark skin girl and he closed it off saying this”you see the girls on khmer tv?
you will never get them or marry them unless you are rich,foreigners for the most part of it don’t get the girls the wealthy Khmer men want and desire ,they get the old lok lak.

Now with that all said ,could it be that the westerners who are marrying,fornicating or dating these lovely dark skin birds are getting the bottom of the pits leftovers or is it purely a case of love at first sight ?

Anyway I’m just trying to make sense of this way of thinking as I am personally not at all phased or bothered weather someone has a dark or light skin.
Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?

There are many light skinned girls working in bars. All shades are available. The color is mostly irrelevant when it comes to the attractiveness of a woman to me, but I'm not really keen on the pale faces. For Asians, having white skin means they don't work outside, it's a status symbol for them.

Yes. It is symbol of the status.

My old lok lak is very dark & from a poor family but I'm sure the dark skin is not from working in the fields but most likely from falling asleep in the sun, lazy bitch!

What's the typical response to your ink, Punchy? Yay or nay? A few contacts have hipster-ink which I reckon makes anyone look like a knob, but yours is far more committed than that...

I had one incredibly beautiful girl tell me that Khmer men don't find her attractive because her face is too skinny. 🤷🏽‍♂️ As a side note, I do prefer darker women myself.
Like cptrelentless said, a taste for the exotic.

Yes, opposites attract for sure.

Not entirely in my case ofc.

what if the bar girl owns the bar?
what if she was as white as you a few years ago then decided to live normally like you without creams & sunblock?
