  1. I don't often agree with a lot Dan spews, but in this one I kinda do. When divorced my ex wife it's painful, mother of two of my wonderful kids, but we'd drifted apart and it happened. When we did all settle up, we did it quite amicably, she kept the house that she lived in, I hadn't for years, and we split everything. I know some divorce's are messy, but a surprising amount aren't. I had no problem splitting our stuff. She'd worked during all of our marriage and brought up the kids, so there was a premium she could have added to that Today I count her as my best friend, we'll talk on the phone couple of times a week, when we all get together at the Grandkids homes, she and my current Thai wife gleefully exchange stories about my flaws! I think where men lose their frikkin minds and any common sense is when a divorce goes badly, they visit Thailand meet the first pretty girl who shows them attention, the frontal lobes become dormant, and the little brain takes over
  2. So, if you take out the old guy with money, and the poor as dirt Isaan maiden marriages, there is a certain physical attraction of different ethnicities to each other. Take a walk in downtown San Francisco, and I'd bet 50% of the couples walking holding hands are, white guy, asian woman. In that situation there is none of the sweaty old guy young woman money dynamic, it's just attraction. That might be why in BKK, it's a younger population with male expats (the real ones who work not the long stay retirees who call themselves expats) and that natural attraction happens
  3. It's sad actually. After the collapse of the USSR and the utter turmoil as it broke up I along with at least most of us thought Russia was emerging as a real Western democracy. Boy, was I wrong. Under Putin it's basically reverted to the old Soviet Russia, but actually worse, Soviet Russia but run by the mafia and it seems that Russians in general seem to be OK with that, and in some ways they mirror their leaders
  4. What exactly does a monarch actually do? They rubber stamp parliament's bills, they have no actual power. Open a few new roads, make an appearance at an old peoples home maybe. At least a President, love or hate them actually do a real job, and if you hate the job they do you get rid of them at the next election As much as we Americans seem obsessed by them as a tabloid spectacle, we don't have to pay for them! So as long as you want them, go for it, but I'd say Versailles is still one Hell of a tourist attraction, even without the Sun King.
  5. They are indeed. There is a reason why tourist visas are so hard to get, because the history of Thai's overstaying! In my wife's circle of Thai friends here in South Dakota, only her and one other came here legally, all the rest overstay until eventually they ended up marrying and getting an adjustment of status. How many Thai's are in South Korea as overstay? I bet anyone who lives outside Bangkok with a Thai wife knows at least one. Good luck with this Mr Cameron, cos you're gonna need it, great story for illegal immigration control!
  6. Thats exactly what I have. When you first do it takes a couple of days for your brain to sort it out, but somehow it does. I can close my reading eye and I can't read. Close my distance eye and I can't see distance. Both eyes open and bingo my sight is perfect. The human brain is pretty incredible how it works it all out
  7. It's funny your brain hasn't figured it out I wear contacts, and I have a distance eye and a reading eye, and I have no idea how it works but somehow my brain sorta figures it all and I see perfectly. BTW the prescription in the two eyes is wildly different. So I can't see any reason why you can't do what you propose
  8. BTW Thank You Holland for stepping up and taking some of the burden from the rest of us. Americans, Brit's, Aussies we all have our time in the barrel, nice to see someone else filling the limelight Now where are the Belgians......
  9. I think these guys fell into the trap of buying into the SE Asian woman stereotype. It's some weird belief that all asian women are somehow hyper sexualized. Of course the Thai sex industry doesn't exactly help in dispelling that myth, which is well documented far and wide. So lets say a couple of, not the sharpest tools in the toolshed guys show up. They've heard the stories, bought into the myth and bingo here we are!
  10. My wife started to go gray about 10 years ago, and she also was plucking them out. Eventually she bowed to the inevitable and just gave up. I rather like her salt and pepper look, it's kinda sexy if you ask me. As for men dying their hair, just don't!
  11. I couldn't have ever left my kids behind. There is a myth that all break ups are acrimonious. They may be painful but they don't have to be bad. I still talk to my ex every week, mother of my daughters and I'd count her as my best friend. I travelled a lot, probably too much for work and we just drifted apart. Fast forward to today and I think I have it all. We have grandkids, from my American daughter and my Thai son. We all get together, we all kinda get along We recently all got together for my American grandson(although my Thai grandson is also American) first birthday in San Diego It was a great time. One of the more disturbing parts was my wife and ex wife trading stories on my various faults!
  12. Thats what a lot of these guys just don't get. A lot of the fun of life is actually growing old together. Might not, well actually not the bodies you had 20, 30 years ago, but in those years you learn to know someone. We watch TV and I know when she will laugh. We go to dinner she will order for me, she knows what I want. Those are the silly things that make a relationship
  13. Yeah you are exactly the type I'm referering too!
  14. And you you think thats right? Hopefully most grown men treat women with some respect. Unfortunately many who relocate to Thailand seem to regard woman as a commodity to be bought and traded. The sex trade in Thailand goes way beyond the transaction and insidiously affects mens attitudes to women
  15. Have you ever walked in a mall? The typical western male, old, fat, bald slopping around with a 20 something and a couple of rugrats!
