Thai Friendly

[XXL]

The app and web do not show all the same girls at the same time. You can login to both at the same time and some girls are on both devices but the web version shows all the girls on the app plus many more that don't show on the app. I even compared my firends premium app and mine side by side and they are different even with all filters off.

That's something I'd never have suspected. Kudos for the info!

Bingo. I love getting to the bottom of a mystery. Being curious, I logged into the web version and could see girls with the Premium tag on their pics. Interestingly, you can compare the attached screen shot from the web version with my previous post with a screen shot from the app version. There is a girl "Jasmin3x22" that is tagged Premium in the web version, however she has no such tag in the app version.

I guess this is an incentive from Thai Friendly to the boomers to switch from the World Wide Web to those new-fangled apps (where they can hoover up a lot more of your personal data). In the screenshot attached from the web version, 10 out of 35 girls have the Premium tag, so access to nearly 30% of the girls could be lost if you are on the free web version. IMHO significant motivator to use the app. Enjoy, AR.

That's the difference. I was using TF on my laptop, but when I use TF on my phone (also Android) I don't see any Premium tags either. Strange. Must be some software issue, I guess.

Different indeed! I am using the TF app on Android,

You seem to have a different version than me.

Thanks for sharing. Different indeed! I am using the TF app on Android, with search set to age range 18-24 and location within 5 km. I can't set any other useful filters (especially weight) as they are locked for premium. Attached screen grab shows how the first tab (search result) looks to me. This hasn't changed since I installed 2 months ago while in Pattaya and now in Bangkok. I have never seen the Premium tag on any of the girl's profile photos, so clearly we are having varied user experiences.

As an aside, of the 9 girls in my screen cap, I would only message to the girl in the bottom right. All the other girls are too chubby or not my type. Others of course will think differently based on their preferences. Enjoy, AR.

I am on the free version and able to message every girl that appears in search, albeit at 10 minute intervals for each message that I send.

I successfully used only free version for years. Later, almost every time I tried to send a message I got a message that I was trying to contact one of their most popular members and I needed to buy premium to do that.

Interesting, I have yet to encounter that message. Perhaps I am setting the bar too low? I suspect that message is an automated upsell technique, but who knows, maybe cheapskate AR is being algorithmically kept away from the sweetest berries. That being said, this past week TF delivered two of my sweet spot (<25 yo, <55 kg, no baby, GF sex) talents who showed up exactly as advertised, so will count my blessings. Enjoy, AR.

I am on the free version and able to message every girl that appears in search, albeit at 10 minute intervals for each message that I send. Sometimes the app will also give free unlimited messaging with specific girls, but I don't know the principle for which this is given. Seems to be random. Anyway, I only send 1 message per girl that says "Hi. Freelance? My WhatsApp is +66 xxxxxxxxxx. Or give me your LINE. " and move the conversation immediately out of the app. For those that do reply to me, 75% engage by WhatsApp. 25% provide a LINE link or ID. Just my experience. AR.

As it turned out, I could only message the ugly girls. That was about 4 years ago, since that time I've had yearly premium memberships.

But you do need premium to be able to contact all of the girls.

No, you don't need premium to see all the girls.

I am new to the Thailand scene. My specialty is Colombia. I signed up for TF (not paid) and so far the profiles are underwhelming. It's pretty similar to PL Pina Love but fewer profiles and less hotties. If you buy a subscription will more women be available? How is Tinder up there?

No, you don't need premium to see all the girls. This number of girls online will depend on your location and the time of day. I'd not switch to Tinder, everyone says that TF is best.

Today I lost access to my line app along with all TF contacts. My mistake I signed up in line using my tourist sim around a year ago. Seems the number got reassigned to someone else and they have logged in using OTP.

What is most irritating is that I had tried to update the phone number to my local number but it accepts Thai numbers only. It doesn't even allow to remove the existing Thai number as well! What a crap app. Going to use only WhatsApp from now on.

Line is the current favourite tool but since they reduced their market to a few major countries they have added too many restrictions. You should have added an email to the account to recover it. The good news is that the girls are also having similar problems so they too are switching to whatsapp.

Once I felt very lucky to have come online when lots of pretty chicks showing available. Excited I sent messages to every one of them. Well, turns out most of them didn't even read my messages, with few reading and ignoring it. Only a handful replied back. What I did get were many unsolicited likes and messages from mostly average looking and old chicks.

Same here. I even get quite a few girls, alas usuallly the better-looking ones, who send me a like on TF, then do not bother to read my messages ever after. This means they at once get hit upon by umpteen other men.

Had similar experience in my last trip, but I directly asked if it was them or someone else. Had few last minute no shows as well, with strange reasons like sudden diarrhea LOL. Another stopped responding after saying waiting for car. Maybe the cab driver abducted her, who knows!

'ST1500?

'No, I have diarrhea. I will throw a shit load on your chest then spray it all over the wall while doing boom boom.'.

'3000?

'Ok!

I guess it depends on the time of the day and your luck. Seems evening and night time has more profiles available.

I am also going to pass on girls who send me composite pictures on LINE before we potentially meet, asking me: "this is me, are you ok"? The pics usually show several instances of some part of the body while carefully hiding some other part (eg lower body never visible). Those girls know they look much worse in the flesh than on their TF profile, so they want me to commit to a carefully crafted composite pic in order for the blame being on me if I am badly disappointed as soon as I see them. They know what they're doing allright. All the customers of such girls are one-off customers. One-off customers as a business model works here because Pattaya has hordes of men with blue balls.
