Well Dermot that question is a lot harder...
My GF is 37 (still far younger than me...

) and, in the past, she has called 20ish Thai ladies that we both know as 'babies'. Her implication is that they are not mature and are likely to have childish reactions. Now, an outside observer might say 'Well she would say that' (ala Mandy Rice Davies

) as she would posibily like to discourage me from entertaining them as better prospect than her. & maybe there is some of that (although deep down she should know I am not like that) but, from personal observations, she is possibily not far short of the mark.
However!! It must be understood that unless the lady concerned is well experienced in "Falang" then she is batting on a new pitch, with very few references to help her though a problem. Plus, she is confronted with a male that holds all (in most cases) of the financial reigns of the relationship.
I have had disagreements (

) with my TG but they are mainly based on misunderstandings between us. When all of the crap is cleared she SHOULD have told me something (or maybe actually thought she had, but I did not understand the 'comment' that she made had so much significance - because it was just 'thrown in' to a conversation 2 months ago) in the past which made the problem not that much of a problem.
You ALWAYS have to remember that Thai ladies do not like confrontation & that they will go to huge lengths to hide a bad situation from you - until it gets to (a Falang) a quite stupid situation that could have been sorted out easily!!
But, such is the beauty of living in Thailand!!
