Dating Indonesian Girls

Apr 4th, 2006, in Society, by

Dating Indonesian women may not be for everyone.

Indonesian women, particularly on the island of Java, are exceptionally beautiful. They tend towards the very feminine side, with lovely skin, are not too tall, and have knock-out smiles. There’s plenty of plus on that side of things.

If wer’e to be honest we have to recognise that many men are interested in a woman who will take care of him, do the housework without complaint, and take care of other matters similarly without much bother. Your average Indonesian girl often fits the bill in this respect, certainly more than your average western woman, the less said about them the better.

On the other hand going out with Indonesian women in a romantic way can have many mysterious pitfalls.

Some women here are clearly only interested in money. Some men are unbothered by this. Others of the female variety, can, once we get to know them very well, come across as practically insane, hysterically emotional, scheming, over-possessive, inclined to, usually fake, attempts at self-harm in order to get their way. As I said, not for the faint-hearted.

There are a few Indonesia dating websites although the area is not nearly as developed as that in nearby Phillipines or Thailand. To begin your online journey on the Indonesian dating scene our very own “Meet” section has many a lady eager for company.

    @ disillusioned

    But I totally agree with you Farah, but the thing about respect and all other points you’ve listed should be valid on both sides of course 😉

    Yeppp… when you love someone and planning to had future with that person you better respect her/him, because you will spent rest of your life time with them, i think love comes with respect. More you love that person, the more you respect them in any way.

    Hehe because its about dating indonesia, so i assume the guy would be bule.

    @ onlyme
    Hahaha!! when my bf said he want to had a fridge full of vegemite, i said “babe, i’m ok with that, as long as i could have durian at home when i want to”.
    I can’t stand that stuff too, but… he like it a lot, what can i say??? hail to vegemite!!

  2. onlyme says:

    @farah
    he is from Oz??
    wow I’m still lucky then compared to you (fridge full of vegemite,yuuck), he’s not THAT into vegemite, haha

  3. Farah says:

    @ onlyme
    Yupp.. and he is crazy about vegemite. But i read in article its considered good food as it contains lots of vit B, its low fat and actually a healthy snack for pregnant woman and growing children. So… knowing this, i can not say “don’t” to him (haha no excuse).

    Hehe.. i do hope he just joking about the fridge full of vegemite!

  4. onlyme says:

    @ farah
    Yes I know that it’s very healthy, but still, it’s vegemite, haha. Well, maybe this is considered as what deillusioned called as ‘respect’ . They can’t force us to consume vegemite and I won’t force him to drink jamu,hehe

  5. Farah says:

    @ onlyme

    hey can’t force us to consume vegemite and I won’t force him to drink jamu,hehe

    This is the only way to make it work.. hehe…

  6. onlyme says:

    @ farah
    I wonder, which one is more healthy, vegemite or jamu beras kencur? hahaha

  7. Farah says:

    hmm…… i guess both had their own health benefits.. and both.. could made your face do the “oh my !!” expression in few secs due to the taste or smell hehehe

    Prefer beras kencur, love my mbak jamu and her “kemayu” voice every morning!

    @Kaja
    “I have more chatting girls friends from Indonesia. I like to say that indo girls are beautiful and they are very decent in behaviour. I like it. And i found it is their good quality also as well as the beauty.”

    great!!! your compliment about indo girl is very real n neutral ….thx so much.

    @Karyati

    :goodluck you have happy life wth ur bule husband, wished till death….right!

    @onlyme

    ????? but science without religion is blind and also knowledge knows no frontiers. ok!

  9. onlyme says:

    @annisa
    It was meant as sarcastic joke for Mingo. Seem that you’re always misunderstood my comments. Read it carefully, fella 🙂

  10. diego says:

    karyati is a troll….

  11. annisa says:

    @onlyme
    sorry…if my understanding

  12. Farah says:

    @ Mbak Karyati

    Be with someone who respect you for who you are, no matter how dark you skin-or regarding how you looks like.

    Once i generalize caucasian/bule/western guy, thought all of hem only after girls with dark skin… but i am wrong too!

    Just be who you are and feel comfort with that. Girls with self confident are much more attractive than one who always feel insecure about them self (..sez a bule from my office).

  13. deta says:

    I can’t shake the feeling that Mbak Karyati’s last name is Sujengkol. Of course, I could be wrong.

  14. den says:

    god night my friends?

  15. den says:

    there must some reason for me t get started a date,but i don’t what it’s.would you be my best reason for it?

  16. onlyme says:

    to : foreign men

    when you ask your girlfriend for moving in, is it the part of the relationship phase, or it has some meanings?

  17. sobhana says:

    Just having a bit of a stroll down memory lane here, didn’t I have an argument with Farah for disliking foreign men and insisted that she was proud and better off having an Indonesian husband? I don’t recall it being too long ago, are you divorced and now dating an westerner? *just curious*

  18. ET says:

    @ onlyme

    when you ask your girlfriend for moving in, is it the part of the relationship phase, or it has some meanings?

    It means he suffers from cold feet at night.

  19. shawty says:

    @deta
    ditto, think that karyati’s last name is sujengkol ha

    @ Jane

    Hope get the riGht one to be my soulmate someday..AMIN.

    Don’t worry. Not all ‘expats’ are sex-starved maniacs as illustrated in the following story.

    One day Jack decided to retire on an island in the Indonesian archipelago…

    He booked himself on a Southeast Asian cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.

    After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, “Where did you come from? How did you get here?”

    She replies, “I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank.”

    “Amazing,” he notes. “You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you.”

    “Oh, this thing?” explains the woman. “I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree.”

    “But, where did you get the tools?”

    “Oh, that was no problem,” replied the woman. “On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware.”

    Jack is stunned.

    “Let’s row over to my place,” she says. So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a long stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, “It’s not much, but I call it home. Sit down, please. Would you like a drink?”

    “No! No thank you,” the man blurts out, still dazed. “I can’t take another drop of coconut juice.”

    “It’s not coconut juice,” winks the woman. “I have a still. How would you like a Pina Colada or an Arak Campur?”

    Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, “I’m going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There’s a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs.”

    No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

    “This woman is amazing,” he muses. “What’s next?”

    When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of jasmine. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.

    “Tell me,” she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, “We’ve both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. There’s something I’m certain you feel like doing right now, something you’ve been longing for, right?” She stares into his eyes.

    He can’t believe what he’s hearing. “You mean…” he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, “You’ve built a Golf Course?”

    You see Jane, there’s still hope for you.

  23. deta says:

    Nah, Jack’s exceptional attitude is only due to the temporary effect of Pina Colada on his brain.

  24. ET says:

    Another valuable lesson for Jane. Stock up on Pina Colada and keep your boyfriend happy.

    hum.
    i chatted with a brit guy who is an expat in indo.
    he says he knew an indo girl who is really a golddigger but this girl is covering herself as an educated young lady and smart.
    He sounds so pissed.he said, why this girl is pretending to be a nice,educated,n classy girl the fact is she is a real sl*t who is looking for money (n of course sex) by dating expats in all over jakarta.
    *idk,perhaps this guy is seeking a long term relationship with indo gal.unlucky,he met big fat liar girl.

    I get shocked.
    Because he is rite.
    If u are a sl*t or wanting money by sleeping with all expats in indo (maybe),just say it!dont pretend to be somebody else!
    Because it would give bad credits to other indo girls!

    Ah,now i understand why they,bule(s),generalized indo women as gold digger for example,or others negative thoughts.

    This is like proverb says:
    “gara gara nila setitik,rusak susu sebelahnya”.
    *cmiiw,because im not good at proverb.lol*

  26. Swagman says:

    she is a real sl*t who is looking for money

    She isn’t a sl*t babe, she’s a wh*re. It’s the wh*res that give the sl*ts a bad reputation 🙂

  27. mets says:

    And the link still goes on…..

    Once a gold digger always a gold digger whether ur an expat or not, male or female…

    So for any person that is looking for a genuine relationship that has fallen for a ‘gold digger’ I feel for you !!

    @ swagman – liking your definition!!

  28. Swagman says:

    We’re all digging for something I suppose.

  29. mingo says:

    It was meant as sarcastic joke for Mingo. Seem that you’re always misunderstood my comments. Read it carefully, fella

    Sorry don,t get it. Must be my blond day, Or is there some dep seated meaning there somewhere

    @ confuse sobhana
    Last time i date indonesian was duh.. forgot..years ago. Never been married tuuuhhhh. So i don’t know what youre talking about.

    You’re the one short of say, stop dating bule, nothing good about them—Prob say that because you collecting and “taste” too much cheese on Europe or too much Vegemite on your breakfast.

    Now you seemed forgetting things… hehe too much of something else perhaps.

    @ riniss
    gold digger — i dont like, snob rich daddy girl who think she smart for studying in europe for being a slut– dont like even more.

    At least gold digger do it for economical reason, helping parents sister brother what ever.
