hahaha... when I was young and sharing accommodation with other students, we'd always look at the ROOM TO LET/RENT columns in the papers. They always had code words for the people they are looking for to share with them....we all knew what they meant..

"Broadminded" - sharing with gays

"Open-minded" - lots of drugs and parties and casual sex going on

"Got character" - means the place should be bulldozed and has rats

the list goes on...

As a Thai girl, I think I can clarify this from what I understand.

I guess open-minded for Thais (especially girls) mean be kind and generous.

If u translate into Thai it means Jai-kwang. It's not necessary refer to sex but more in general I guess. Does it make sense?

Many Thai girls write "open minded" on their profile.

I know for a fact that open minded to them does not mean the same as open minded to me...

Agreeee. To me swinging is a good example of "openmindness". I bet most of the girls with "openminded" on their profile never even heard of swing parties.

To me? To me it means 'I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure'.

But I actually believe when a Thai person telling you that he or she is open-minded, it has no sexual connotation to it. It basically means someone who is receptive and listening to new and different ideas or the opinions of others, in contrary with close-minded. It can also mean that he/she likes to try new foods, do activities has never done before or travel to new places etc. rather than being stuck up.

Yes, it does. I was thinking of the word "Jai-kwang" also. "Open minded" adj. à»Ô´à¼Â, µÃ§ä»µÃ§ÃÃ’, äÃèÅÓàÃÕ§, ÂÃÿѧ¢éäԴàËç¹, according to http://th.w3dictionary.org/index.php?q=open-minded

see, i don't think anyone gets confused about the term "open-minded" except on dating sites or quasi-dating-sites (like this one).

just about anything can be interpreted in sexual terms on a site like this--and probably will be. and in some cases it may even be intended that way.

however, i doubt it makes sense to extrapolate such meanings/innuendos to the world (or Thailand) outside of this site.

brilliant deduction! now back to more discussions that have poignant topics and elicit world change.

I cannot really speak for Thai ladies and would not assume what fact their meaning of it is..for me to do so I would consider myself egotistical..nor would I paint a broad brush that all thai ladies that write open minded in their profiles have the same definition...this term in the west is even vague..people that proclaim to be open minded do not fit the description even though some of them think they do.. with all that said and due respect I feel it would be fair if you read something in someone's profile it would be courteous to ask the author of the avatar what its all about. I was brought up to interpret open minded as being to respect all opinions and to embrace new ideas. from all intellectual points of view.

'some would say its a lot harder to open a closed mind than to close and open mind'
