You're the one talking about Thai boys. In the modern era, they seem to be in the minority on the Pattaya scene.
On my last trip, just 16% of the boys I met were Thai. Obviously they have the same religion in the neighbouring countries, but there are still some differences in behaviour. Particularly in Cambodia.
You misunderstand (possibly intentionally).
I rarely have problems with boys & I suspect that's largely down to combination of the relatively good attitude of the people in SE Asia, careful selection criteria & treating them well.
On the other hand, those who never have had disappointment from a hookup probably have short memories. Or a very long time since the last MB date.
From what I see and hear, the majority of farang dating money boys these days do it via the apps.
A good proportion of them ask questions before meeting. Including very recent posts on other boards referring to this.
Also, on the boards & on the ground, there are at least as many farang who say they get better results meeting boys on apps than in bars. At least among those talking about dating in the 2020s.
It's easy to say you would do it differently.
In a world where actions speak louder than words, convincing people to do something you're not doing is more difficult.
No matter how many times you repeat it.
