John Galt Presents: A Girl's Power Quotient

Each girl has a power quotient. It's her outward beauty over her personal liabilities. A Thai female naturally does everything possible to increase top number and decrease the bottom number. Having a high power quotient opens doors for her, losing her number often sends her into despair.

You walk up to any girl in Thailand between the ages of 12 to 98, and tell her that she is beautif and she'll thank you - I mean she'll thank you with great enthusiasm. Never, will you get the "Dirty Old Man" response -- this is not part of their nature. You'll either receive a "Wai" and Thank you OR you may even see a strange gesturing. When you tell her about her beauty, sometimes she'll say with excitement "really?" and then she'll kind of lean forward slightly, allow her chin will tip up and eyes lids float shut, and take in a deep breath all at once. It's almost like she is inhaling a sent of a rose or perhaps what you see in a movie when a girl snorts a line of cocaine, it's really kind of strange.

Conversely, ask her if she has a boyfriend or a husband, she'll say no (or she'll acknowledge it begrudgingly). Inquire about having children, or make any statement that spotlights her advancing age, then you'll see her look sideways at you with disappointment.

Talking about a girl's liabilities is not the way to get a party started and I don't recommend it for idle chit chat.

If a girl's power quotient is high, she can command a high price for marriage, ask for expensive gifts with confidence and do less for her lover. She can enjoy many perks that are associated with the power she carries. The same holds true in both in normal Thai society and the world of the naught night life (which are razor thin apart in basic female psychology).

About a year ago, I chased a local girl who is quite beautiful. She was riding high because she had just been married to a guy from the states. He was introduced to her through the phone by one of her relatives that was living in California. The guy came over and married her and took her on substantial honeymoon trip around Thailand (she had never before flown in an airplane). They went to Koi Samui they went to Chang Mai. He bought her about a 2,000 USD gold and diamond ring, etc. She was back in her home town (same as mine) waiting for her hubby to contact her and work out the Visa arrangements so she could join up with him the US and live happily ever after. I walked past her in a local market at the 4 week mark waiting for her husband to call. She eyeballed me, she got my attention, we exchanged phone numbers. We hooked up a few times in the coming weeks and she brought all her friends along and we did a few dinners at my expense. The Loy KaTong festival (see picture) happened around that time and I joined her and a friend.

I began to feel like she was just digging into my pockets and I didn't sense like there was much of a mutual exchange. She was riding high with a promise and the prospects for a white picket fenced house in America. I wished her well and I kind of put her out of my mind because she was clearly not available and that was fine with me.

A number of months later she called on me. Seems that the hubby had never called back. She hawked the ring so she could continue to stay at home with Mom while deciding what to do. Her long time 10 year job near Bangkok was gone because she had quit it to be married and travel to the US. After a few months at home she did decide to move back near Bangkok and look for work in the same town that she had spent 10 years in already. As luck would have it, her money ran low and she started to call on me. Her mind-set was all different. No longer riding high and mighty. I agreed to meet with her in Bangkok.

We spent a couple of days together and I was considering the possibilities of taking up with her as a steady girlfriend (I get that itch once every 2 years). I was open to getting involved with her but clearly there was something "off" I couldn't put my finger on it. We hadn't had sex at this point (she had slept fully clothed next to me those 2 previous nights) but when we started moving in the sexual direction she become kind of spooky on me. I sensed she was hiding something.

My radar was on and I was zeroing on the issue. Did she already have a child? No. Was she deep in debt? Nada. What the hell was going on? I had some actions on the line with her. I sat her down and I pressed her. She broke down and cried. She explained to me that in her childhood she was sick. That sickness left her with a limb that was smaller than the other side and she was in terrible fear that when I saw this limb, I would reject her immediately. That hit me hard. In the West we are less judgmental about physical issues and we respect and value a people more for their character, but here, girls are more valued for their physical aesthetics and attributes. She sat on the floor legs and arms crossed weeping. (I'm not going to carry this story further because we don't time for it here and my point has been made so we can move forward).

The key thought here is when it comes to a girl's power quotient, she will NOT openly divulge her weaknesses and liabilities. NOT at all. She'll even lie about them to conceal them if possible. This is an irrefutable element of Thailand.

Galt Vaults, 2 Double Back Flips with a Spin, Tucks, and Sticks the landing!

...When Stick posted the bit about the girl with false teeth from Boesche, I had a mate who claimed he had just hooked up with a young stunner from there. I sent the link to him and he confronted the girl. She was angered and sad and thought that he would drop her. It is true and he is back Stateside and has provided me with some very nice photos...none toothless, however. He did say that it was just a couple of front teeth that come out from a childhood accident....

When I read this email I had a sense of De JaVu and recounted my own story up above.

I previously predicted that the girl mentioned in the Stickman article did not have false teeth (dentures). That girl had a couple of teeth replaced from an injury. It's highly unlikely she pulled them out to put them in a glass?

This further proves to me that Stickman was lax in filtering what he heard and just posted an article for giggles and maybe a to take a slap at Club Boesche (Club that draws significant business away from a paid Stickman go-go bar sponsor called Katz)

By the way, many children get hurt here in Thailand. This is very common because children are not protected very well from physical accidents. Burns, loss of an eye, deformities from sicknesses, and scars are all fairly prevalent. Lots of these girls end up in the naughty night life business because Thai guys will pass them over (also in some cases, the a Thai guy's MOTHER will pass these girls over!!!)

OH, another BTW -- Guess what old people do here when they loose their teeth -- Go ahead, take a guess....... Quite a few simply live without teeth.

I DO NOT have a personal stake in Club Boesche. I receive no money, gifts, or complimentary girls from Club Boesche (although comp girls would be nice - hum, (head scratch)). I know who the owners are. I semi-frequently shake hands with one of the owners. The owners know who I am as a person off the street, but the owners do not know who I am as "John Galt" which of course is just a pen name for my work here.

Don Parto, what do we have for our departing contestant? Well, John, we have a lovely set of Thai Steak Knives....

I tell you the truth, I'm not a writer. English was my worst area of study in school. But, I know bull-shit when I see it (typically) and I can peal the layers off an onion fairly well. If you have been enriched slightly by my column then, great. I'm glad you're here, BUT don't just take my work for it. If you're wise, you'll verify all this by getting on a plane and coming here and see Thailand for yourself.
