The tone and body language added to a conversation (or even a particular style of writing) might indicate that attitude, but, intrinsically, being proud of one's accomplishments can be a great driving factor leading to more achievement.

Can't disagree with your assessment however when it applies to the context of this board the accomplishment of the Thai gf/wife being uni educated and working for a corporation, I suspect it is used mostly to differentiate her as not being a prostitute or (former one) and thus a better or more legitimate mate. So the "pride" is not as pure in nature, actually I would label it as false pride. Sort of like an individual who can't differentiate WHAT they do for a living from WHO they are as a person.

Guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi I have a Thai gf who is uni educated. And I'm proud of her for doing. Not that it makes her super intelligent, but it did tell me something about her, as a person, when we first met. It spoke a lot about her as a person, when first getting to know her. She worked very hard to accomplish what she did, and took a big sacrifice on her family's part, to find a way to pay for it. It's not something to be belittled. She is very proud of what she accomplished. And she has every right to be. HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi I have a Thai regular 'BG' who is not uni educated, but does cracking blow jobs. This bird could suck a football down a hosepipe. And I'm proud of her for doing so. Not that it makes her super attractive or slim, but it did tell me something about her, as a person, when we first met. :hubba: It spoke a lot about her as a person, when first getting to know her. She worked very hard to accomplish what she does, and took a big sacrifice on the part of other birds working at the Star of Light BBBJ tavern, to find a way to let her practice, repeatedly sucking off fat drunken falangs from dawn to dusk. It's not something to be belittled. She is very proud of what she accomplished. And she has every right to be. :: FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jxxxl Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 "I have a Thai gf who is uni educated." I think the point of this thread is NO ONE CARES, except maybe you and her employer. "It's not something to be belittled." I don't think anyone would belittle her for being educated. But, I would certainly care more about whether or not she is a nice person.

A very good friend of mine took a prostitute who worked in Nana for 3yrs and put her in school because she said she always wanted to get her education. She simultaneously attended English/computer school; her last year of matayom under an accelerated program and a business technical school(equivalent of a junior college). She finished top of her class in the technical school and is now in her second year of a university. Her dream job when she was a prostitute was to be a cashier at a grocery store, now her sights are set on marketing and advertising. I would say that so far he is very proud of her and the fact that she was transformed herself from prostitute to a top student says alot about her as a person. Should her sordid past and present accomplishments be belittled? Does that make her better than any other uni student, office worker or prostitute? Not one bit. The point of my posts are not about the character of the chicks but the obnoxiousness of farangs who have relationships with so called "GTG"'s and wear the chick's accomplishments or social status like a freaking badge of honour and then proceed to brandish it as some sort of proof that they are not involved with a chicjk that had a backgound in prostitution.
