Smile Two girls for every boy

After many Beer Changs, I am surprised I remember the facts of my conversations with the expat - here goes...

Thailand - 62% of poulation female.
That leaves 38% male - of this 12% is homo .... which leaves 26% males available for action!

It's just like the Beach Boys promised years & years ago, "Two girls (or more) for every boy "(man)

Who will dispute these figures ?

My brother is convinced of this fact as well.. That Thailand has a naturally out of balance male female ratio..

I looked online and it was 51 - 49 % etc as best I could see..

Also that indicates a lower birth rate of women than men but a higher mortality rate somewhere after 15 y/o that changes the figures..

Nice to see the CIA is doing something useful when they are spying on people!

Even the .98 ratio, while nowhere near 2 boys for every girl, still translates to 550,00 more women than men in that age bracket! A couple of per cent can make a big difference! I think a good number of those 550K are BGs, and of course, some of those guys are actually LBs or gays, so that improves the odds even more!

Yes but that discounts the fact that out of 12 million visitors a year, 60% are single males. That would equate to 7.2 million guys taking up the slack...

Enjoy it while it lasts - the 'surplus' of women is dwindling (I'm sure I posted about this before a long while ago) ... in 5-10 years time will see the demographics change and women will be able to be 'selective' !

It wasn't the Beach Boys it was Jan & Dean that sang it (although it was co-written by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys)

Two girls for every boy.

I bought a ’34 wagon and we call it a woodie
Surf City, here we come
You know, it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Surf City, here we come
Well, it ain't got a backseat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

And we're goin' Surf City, 'Cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now

They say they never roll the streets up, ‘cause there's always something goin'
Surf City, here we come
You know, they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City, here we come
Well it's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

And we're goin' Surf City, 'Cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
two girls for every boy

And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on that Surf Route
Surf City, here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet-suit
Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City, I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for surfer girls

maybe that is what causes the change in the ratio after the age of 15.

Easy to explain - as they get older they get exposed to the evils of drink,drugs and motor bikes.It's a bit of the Darwin theory.

I was just joking.

and maybe the knife fights have a little to do with it.

Yeah, if we were all there at once, it would be a bit of a problem, ST rates would probably hit 10K Baht. It would be almost as bad as the US!

Fortunately, we're not there all at once!

Even if the spread is even; 600k visitors per month to your 500k girls there still is a capacity v demand shortfall. I guess it's easily overcome but big respect to the girls for working hard to meet demand.

Whichever way you look at it, two girls for every guy does not stack up

Taking up the slack brought a smile

girls, girls, girls to continue the song theme was a UK hit in mid 70's for a group called Sailor IIRC......maybe a few sailors could take up the slack?

Girls, girls, girls, what amazing figures .... 600k visitors to 500k girls

So it's not like the 'Jan & Dean' song at all .... I thought 62% was too good to be true.
How about the line in that song 'And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on that Surf Route
Rock City, here we come'
hmmmnn

Fortunately, most of the 600K visitors per month only come for 2 weeks, therefore it is 300K guys to 500 K girls. Plus when you factor in the 20% guys who are non-mongers, that cuts it to 240K guys per 500K girls, and you know what that means:

TWO GIRLS FOR EVERY BOY!!!!!

Which in turn means that it is actually our duty to take at least two girls every night, to keep the balance.

what about the population of women age 18-40 (when I think, is the ages when most men will find women attractive)? Any research saying that women outnumbers men for this age bracket?
