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.
@brian A, yes of course, but today i saw a couple good indonesia families made me feel good. GO INDONESIA!!!

Poor little Ade. You should read the previous posts before posting yours. Now you’re vulnerable and become an easy target.
Hey guys
I’m a bule as they say here in indonesia and im not that handsome and probably not the best lover and ive been dating a local here for some time. She seems so MADLY in love with me that it just seems unrealistic in my opinion because i dont really have that much to offer her in respect to love, money, happy relationship all the time, etc things like that and i was just thinking after we went out tonight that how can someone like her love me to that extreme. The reason im a bit skeptical about our relationship is because she always tells me she loves me, im her only one, she will never leave me, she cant live without me, and sometimes just a full 2 pages of sms just saying I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU and its a bit farfetched because im not THAT special trust me ive dont some things im not proud of in the past and it has effected my personality but thats not important. Also other things like the way that if she “thinks’ that ill get annoyed or angry at her about anything she will back down and do whatever i want and ive kind of tested this theory and the results are all the same. THere is no way that she can love me to this extreme and im having big suspicions that shes got some master plan brewing behind my back. Ive heard alot of stories of local girls “falling in love” with a bule to get a green card and their money and whatnot and im seriously thinking thats happening to me. Now i wouldnt really be bothered with this but why would she continue this game if she knows that i know whats going on? Does anyone have any tips or clues i could try to find out the truth because i do like this girl but to me its not that serious as she acts it out to be. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
BOBBY
Bobby – the first, and most fundamental question for you would be, and I don’t mean to be harsh – where did you meet this girl, what is her background, and what is her job?
If the answers go one way, then you might possibly have reason to be suspicious (but by no means certainly).
If the answers go the other way, then you are just looking at standard all-out-in-love-I’m-going-to marry-this-guy-no-matter-how-unsuitable-he-is behaviour, which, it seems to me, is why so many girls in Indonesia so often get totally screwed over by “I thought he was the one” guys who any fool could see was an A**hole (and I mean Indonesian guys, not bules, 99% of the time, though the same chronic lack of judgment applies whoever they are dating).
As for yourself, self-awareness is certainly healthy, but then so is self-confidence. Learn to love yourself, brother…
🙂
Well, that’s true…
But seriously, if “Bobby” is as he says he is, then it would be an awful shame if his own self-doubt, and the “advice” of various cynics whose experience of “women” is limited to dating bar girls saw him succumb to paranoia that may well be entirely misplaced. And then, somewhere in some suburban bedroom somewhere in Indonesia there would be another cutesy girl sobbing her heart out over a mobile phone that cost her a month’s salary to a friend – “He was the one! I was going to marry him!”
Another reason that this is a fairly ugly thread.

But some of those girls do fit in balin’s description of “artist superstar wannabe”, right?
Plus, I like the way he points out that bule poo too, so, we’re all the same in the eye of the… toilet.
