Exactly how many ladyboys are there?

[gunslinger]

You have MSN messenger? You have people on there who you can't even rememeber who they are? I have a lot of these, there was this one girl I met online, seemed like a nice girl,was chatting to her for a while then switched to MSN, coudnt really make her out from the photo, but she looked pretty good.
Over the next 2 weeks we sort of chatted less and less until she became one of the faceless people you see popping up on your MSN whom you dont recall.
Then one day, I was online and saw this girl pop up and I thought " Who is that? Im sure she was pretty good looking."
So I buzzed her and started chatting, she seemed a bit down, so I lay it on with a bit of "I'm suprised you are not not going out with someone" cheesy bollox before she comes out with it....
"I'm not girl."
"I have body boy, but mind girl"
'Eh? You serious?"
"Yes, you not know?"
"No, I didnt know"
She then puts another photo up.
And I have to say, she looked superb, as I remembered , but now I knew she was an LB, I obviously looked at her in a different way.
A chance meeting? The same thing happened to me 2 days ago with another "girl" from Thailand.

So how many are there exactly??

The UK Telegraph printed a "survey of the Ladyboy scene" about 6 months ago. It claimed that there were around 350,000 Ladyboys in Thailand and also claimed that most have normal jobs . So im not sure if they can be trusted

You always assume that they do the homework but in this case maybe not as it seems such a high number.

One clown i spoke to in a Hong Kong bar recently stated that one in 10 of females in LOS were ladyboys...i hate these guys...Bar Philosophers ,.. havnt been anywhere but know everything!......! what a cunt!

anyhow
Ill look at home as i might have saved the edition to see how they arrived at that figure.

Some books say 5% of all classrooms are LBs. I tried a check on this with all my LB friends, and sure enough, the numbers they quoted seemed like about 5%. However, I think LBs only truly exist from about 12 to 30 or so. Before 12, they are confused and deciding when to go full blown lady. At 30 it seems most revert back to men. I have no idea how to calculate that 5%.

Interesting replies.... I wouldn't even venture a guess but it certainly seems more so in Thailand than in any other country!

As many as you want there to be!
My MSN 2 years ago was 100% GG, one eyar ago was 50/50, today is 90/10 with 90% being LB's. Maybe after one year will go agian back to 50/40 ..who knows..
Without being glued to my computer, I easily get in touch with a new (at least to me) lb every 3 or 4 days.
I doubt 5% of the pretty white shirt/black-miniskirt UNI students are lb's. But if not 5% it could easily be 1-2% and again, what level of lb are we talking about?
Gay guys with a bit of lipstick and eye shadows or GG-looking-alike lb's?
If you go to the perfume counters in the major department stores you may see a few, on the road you may see some, in offices (included governement ones) I've meet a few. SO, it's a party of Thai daily life much more obvious than in other Asian cities but thgat you can see also in KL, S'pore and Manila. One out of 10 GG's? For sure not!!

This is something I've always asked myself. Have you ever seen an old lb? I mean someone in her 40's or 50's
The oldest I know is a friend of mine in KL who is almost 37 ad still very good-looking, but for how long?
Reminds me of the question ..where elephants go to die?

Interesting question. So one day I was with Oy from Cascades, a gorgeous, fantastic body, almost 100% passable girl. I forget the subject, but we got on to something about she would do at 40. She said, "I am man then." I couldn't imagine her as a man, she is so beautiful, but she said, "You ever see old ladyboy? Cannot. Not beautiful anymore. Must be man again." The 'mamasan' at Obsession, now dressing as a man, was a Ladyboy (u can still see some breasts). There is a tourist center half-way down Soi 4, there is a 'man' who was a ladyboy before, u can clearly see some small breasts, small hands, but he is very much a man now.

This is frightening part of thinking you can have a long-term relationship with a LB. She will not be 19-30 forever.

True of course but consider that we are all dating GG's or LB's who are easily 15-20 years younger than us.
Take for example this friend in KL that I was talking about. She looks like a pretty and gorgeous lady of about 32-33 although she is 37.
Assuming that you would have taken her onboard when she was, say, 22 and you were "only" 42. By now you would be 57 and going out with a gorgeous looking lb that looks like 33.
In 10 years you will be 67 and she will be 47 probably looking like a early 40's nice asian lady.
So, unless you drink from the fountain of youth or stuff yourself of Viagra® on daily basis, you may probably have to settle on a less "dynamic" relationship where beauty starts being less important that pure affection. Do I make any sense?

[Guest]

Looker, you do make a lot of sense ,by the time they are in there late 30s to early 40s then I am sure we would be happy with that at the age we will be !!!!

Then again breathing at our age would be good as well !

The oldest LB I know is about 44. I may know one who is older.

Naturally, she's post-op. And she still turns many heads.

Of course, posties have a lot harder time of "going back to being men."
