I learned to enjoy reading more than drinking. Cooking more than restaurants. Using charm to get women more than money. Having girlfriends more than having kids. Exercise more than owning cars.
With those preferences even a lazy git like me could work a bit and retire by 45
I'm surprised how easy life has been.
I've always dreamed of being the guy who was perfectly content living in the jungle with just a knife, piece of string and a needle.
Alas I like watching the premier league too much.
Im 55 and in the UK living off my modest savings I feel I'm in the 3rd class carriage of life. In Thailand I feel like I'm riding 2nd class. And occasionally allowed into the 1st class dining area.
Because your qualities of "providing, loyal loving" are fine if you find a woman who ....
1. Is attractive...imagine a guy providing for an ugly woman. Don't want to disparage ugly women but it just isn't our natural state to work for someone who isn't providing beauty.
2. She didn't get baggage from other men. We all know men are pigs at times. Providing for damaged goods.....why do it?
The deal you propose worked for the past. But are you saying that a man should work hard and provide financial security for a woman that enjoyed her young days with casual sex while the guy worked on his career?
Possibly, but you can see many couples aging and still in love even after 'property A has gone. I wonder how many women attracted to the money stay if that runs out.
A perennial favourite topic.
I'm 55. If I were single I know I should aim for a compatible 40 year old. I fear id be aiming for the nearest to the hottest 25 year old I could find.
If I had any debt I wouldn't even buy a 25bht iced coffee on the street.
Many Thais remind me of the small kid in the playground whose been conned out of his lunch money.
I've been charged extra based on gender. Night club entrence for example.
I've been charged extra based on age. Pensioners and kids being subsidized.
I pay in tax for people who refuse to work.
Life isn't fair. But who wastes emotion on this stuff?
No such thing as marrying up. Everyone marries the best they can. If she married you and has more money than you then there must be a leveler.
Something like
1. She is fat and unattractive
2. You're very handsome ( very for a woman to marry poorer)
3. Hidden variable like she has herpes
4. mental illness
So boasting she has her house, land etc...hmm not really a boast is it.
