Depends on the mother, my dildo wielding strapon wearing butch dyke of a mother would think her the most perfect gift. We can't choose our family, my father, the right Reverend, has no problem with my mother, neither has his flock, though they stopped her teaching sunday school to the all girl group.

@Frankie ******

Jesus that really shocks me, you were banging hookers and they wanted you for your money. What the hell is the world coming to? What happened to the good old Thai hooker with a heart of gold. You know the ones, they would buy you gold chains, pay for your hotel, dress you in silk. Oh how times have changed.

@Roman ********

ride being the operative word.

My Thai wife said I was spending too much time playing table football with a friend, she said we should do more things together that we both enjoyed. So she filled it with water and now we play synchronised swimming. And Brad, I know about the lack of attraction towards young men, the 'butterfly effect' but I also know that the package you offer, and by that I mean the totality of you, would be enhanced if you were eye candy too. Perhaps you are? I dont know. I certianly am not. But I do know that a good heart, outweighs everything. Certainly looks, because over the years I have got used to genuinley flattering remarks from Thai women about me. I tried to put it down to sarcasm, I tried to explain it away as blatant flattery, but I have become convinced that because they know all I have done for my wife and Thai family, they just dont see me and all my faults anymore. The shiny image blinds their eyes to the true reality. I have learned to live with it, but I dont understand it. But maybe here is a clue, I have slept with many many women over the years, of several nationalities, and one of the things I have learned is that they are incabable of seeing me clearly, the first time we sleep together, because all they are conscious of is their own imperfections. If up close and personal they fail to 'see' me is it any surprise that they fail later to be able to see me as I am. For Thai women, Jai Dee trumps everything, even common sense.

''but if your support ever has to be cut off for whatever in life happens, so will the relationship'' If that were true you are merely renting a wife. Good luck with that.

@Brad ******

the most loyal companion you will ever find is a labrador dog. They literally depend upon you for food. With most Thai westerner relationships its the same thing. If there is a finacial imbalance thats inevitable. It does not mean it wont work, it does not mean its a cynical exploitative relationship. Its just different. The only way you truly know is if you give the lady complete financial independence. If she then chooses to stay with you, then its love. I did that over 20 years ago. Still together and happy, though of course she has much more money and possessions than me because of thai land law. I am completely happy with that and she has never looked at another man in 20+ years. And yes there is a big age gap. Asian women are no more loyal than any other women, they are not submissive and they do have regard to age differences. They arent idiots, a young hard body is an overmatch for a flabby wrinkly, but they do look at things differently and loving and supporting the family and a jai dee outweighs looks. I was lucky, am lucky, I had plenty of money, its easy for me to say. If I was a on a budget and a small pension, obviously the process of finding the right person would be much more fraught and you would have to be absolutely certain. But its the same all over the world. You have to be careful who you share your life with. The is nothing inherently bad about bar girls. But a life in a bar can mean they have picked up many bad habits. Gambling being a prime example, sitting around all day playing cards for money, albeit small sums is not a good preparation for those often boring times to come when they move to another country. They easily fall into bad habits with similarly placed women and the destructive cycle begins again. You have a much better chance of a lasting relationship if they have known the discipline af the clock and sobriety in an office or retail setting.

it is actually,''Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.'' and another one for you, 'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'

its nothing to do with choice of shipping company. its Thai Customs

@Peter ******

And they need to have been out of country at least 12 months and no holiday back in Thailand longer than 90 days in that period
