robbie36 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I am kinda interested in Leftie?s post ?Can I see a cute face on top 5 men for once?? http://www.thailandfriends.com/index.php?name=DB_phpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=39951#39951 It reminds of a post made by some guy a few months ago along the lines of ?Wouldn?t it be nice to see a few different girls in the top 5??. I cant remember who made the post but I do remember that all hell broke loose (and it wasnt me btw). First came a stream of macho man bashing? ?If you don?t like the system you don?t have to vote?? ?If you don?t like the site why are you here?? Then came the bashing plus plug for my favourite chicks? ?Disappear is always in the top 5 cos she is sexy and really nice in real life? ?They are in the top five cos they are the nicest most popular girls? And then to cap it all off, the girls started sobbing and went into a big sulk. Some turned off their voting things. Others turned off their profile and I even think one girl threatened to leave. This of course was followed by? ?Now look what you have done?.? ?You have destroyed their lives, nothing at TF will ever be the same again.? I cant remember how it all ended but it was a really distressing time for everyone. Anyway sorry to drag up bad times BUT my question is this? How come a question like this is considered harmless from a girl on TF but totally unacceptable from a guy? Is it a girl v. guy thing? Or is it a farang v. thai thing? (given that most of the guys on TF are farang and most of the girls are thai) PS I have no idea but I am interested?. PPS If you read this post please vote for FB2, he is desperate.

chickensoup Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 ..i think we ascertained yesterday that there were plenty of girls out there who were easily top 5 material...but for whatever reason (one assumes lack of interest/time) they remain hot but dormant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Maybe it's because most of the guys on here realise they're not that hot, and so don't really care about that sort of comment. I know it doesn't bother me. If everyone voted based purely on "hotness" it would be the same people on the top 5 every week. It's more community based than "hotness" based, friends voting for you on a daily basis. Just my irrelevant thoughts. Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Well, I think there is a double standard going on here. Which is why I called her a b*tch. Frankly, I think she wants to start trouble. She's talking about looks. Are all the girls in the Top 5 model material? I don't think so. Nothing against them. I think they're all fine. The ones I've actually met are nice people and it's understandable why they are popular. But obviously getting into the Top 5 isn't solely based on looks. And as Onlynx pointed out, some of it is just plain vote whoring. By the way, way back when, didn't they consider Henry Kissinger a sex symbol? I could never understand that, as he is one ugly dude, but many women thought of him that way. It was the power, he once explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 How come a question like this is considered harmless from a girl on TF but totally unacceptable from a guy? harmless my bony ass. i have been singled out as a figure of fun. my life is ruined. catch y'all later i'm gonna go do a sailor dive off the empire state building.

SpeedTriple Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I answered it, you just didn't read it properly. The reason a girl can ask this question without starting a war is because most guys don't care. Loburt may be right, perhaps she is trying to start trouble, if my opinion turns out to be correct, there won't be that much trouble. Rich.

zeusbheld Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 to answer the question a little bit more seriously, what caused all the ruckus last time was not the mere fact of a few guys whining that they didnt like the top 5 girl's pics, but that these threads were accompanied by a barrage of personal attacks, many of which were in personal messages and were *really* nasty. so that incident if i remember correctly was really about 4 or 5 guys deciding to harass a few of the girls in the top 5 at the time (and getting really extracurricular) than it was about a bunch of guys wishing their favorite was in the top 5. whether talking about guys or girls it's still an idiotic question, any moron can figure out that the reason you get in the top 5 is not because of your beauty but because you either have friends and are active here or because you care about being in the top 5 and grovel for votes or some combination of the two. well, *almost* any moron, apparently.

Lefteye Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Frankly, I think she wants to start trouble.. Mmmmmmmmm Loburt!! Why everything has to be like that for You ???

robbie36 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well done FB2? like me, you don?t know the answer but at least you understood the question. (Although noone understands what I am talking about, I have to confess that english is my first language and I did get a decent education.) My question is on the lines of this?. If a farang guy and a Thai girl ask the same question on TF they will get very different reactions. Is this a guy v. girl thing or a farang v. thai thing? Or a combination? I mean if Blondie1979 had been a girl he would have received lots of good luck, have lots of babies posts instead of the 'juvenile prick' ones. Anyway I am thinking of reincarnating myself as a thai chick on this forum so that I can obnoxious without sanction. (Zeus I really don?t remember the ?maybe we should change the top 5 occasionally? incident the same way as you. I am not going to argue ? you can remember random quotes from 30 year old films and I cant remember what I had for dinner last night. But I would be interested in seeing the original thread ? I looked but couldn?t find it.) (Loburt, yeah looks like she was trying to cause trouble. She will probably burst into tears soon and then you will be sorry.)

zeusbheld Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 robbie: here's what was signficant about last go round that may not be public knowledge: last time around the 'main action' was in another thread, but there was a group of guys led by the now-banned bangkokbob who posted some really, really nasty personal attacks. he edited them after i commented on them and toned them down. he and the rest of those guys also sent the girls who were in the top 5 at the time some really brutally nasty, vulgar, racist personal messages. both threads are long gone, probably deleted by admin. also in regard to boys vs girls, i cant speak about how anyone else reacted but as leftie got a bit extracurricular in the other thread i was sticking up for ugly white guys over there, so i dont think i have a double standard about it. and for the record while i didnt find it a big deal i thought the idea thread wasnt less *ssholish than last time with the girls, it just didnt get as ugly. i didnt think it was "cute" or "fun" or "clever" and it proves that girls are just as capable of acting like a gaping, puckery *sshole as boys, as far as i'm concerned.

zeusbheld Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 also in general i didnt see the reaction as being that different, until you factor in the extracurricular stuff with that last go-round. some ppl took it in stride, some were pissed off, some who were not directly involved were pissed off, some thought it was great etc. maybe a somewhat different proportion. i think if you are going to do a psuedo-science project your comparators have to be more simliar than these two situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiaranM Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 exampleTF Chick: "I like McDonalds". Response: "I hate it but you're cute. You got my vote" "cheap date, where have u been all my life" "McDonalds in Thai is pronounced......" "Awwww, so cute" TF Bloke: "I Like McDonalds" Response: "You *****, I hate you" " "I Like McDonalds" You see you make no sense...."""I Like McDonalds" You see you make no sense...." Yeah, this guy obviously never got out much. "Another sad addition to the human race" "Maybe you can find you're next McUnder-age meal there you creep" "I can't believe how stupid this guy is" jimba u totally lost me on this one ....

robbie36 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ok Jimba, You got my point. But I dont think it is just a guy v. girl thing... I think a lot of it has to do with thai v. farang culture too. (It just so happens that all the guys are farang on this forum and all the girls Thai... so we tend to look at it as a guy v. girl phenomenon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
