I think it's probably slightly more than that. Even without love, people would still be making babies. That is more about lust. I think love is more to do with bonding and staying together, for some people. We tend to love our partner, but also our offspring, so it seems like love is something to do with forming families or communities. Another question might be: do Thai people experience love as we do in the West, or does it vary by culture? Thais appear to love their families, and their children, but when it comes to romantic partners, it seems a lot more about provision than love.

It's part of the deal. The guy gets a younger attractive woman to have sex with, to cook for him, and to care for him when he is infirm and near death, and the woman gets access to his assets. This deal is guaranteed through marriage and family involvement. If the woman doesn't get any long-term guarantees, then she's not really getting anything out of the arrangement. If you aren't prepared to make that promise of delivery of assets, you're likely to only get a girlfriend of a similar age and probably divorced with children. It's all about business in Thailand, unless you're 21 and attractive.

Hmmm... 🤔 I think the AI has become a little confused in trying to paraphrase "hit and run".

And this is why it can never happen...

But there weren't a load of elderly people with no one to care for them or support them in the past. Did you read the article?

Smells like...?

The people who make these kind of "observations" typically know nothing about Thailand or Thai people. They're still in the holiday mode of thinking that Thailand is the promised land of peace and love and that Thai people are kind, friendly, relaxed and honest Buddhists who are highly conservative and traditional, while the Evil White ManTM is taking advantage of their good nature and perverting the innocence of Thailand.

Don't drink random liquids that turn up outside your house...

Maybe it was rooted in penis length and the point at which each man could go no further? I.e. "My wife's vagina must be bigger, because it just accommodates my penis and my penis is bigger than yours."

Less sales, more sellers, yet the prices stay high? Unusual... 🤔

You have to wonder how the parenting was...

I doubt the money was that heavy...

Probably for this reason.

Depends if you have a sister or not. Plenty of very happy alcoholic unemployed blokes in Thailand.

It's not much fun being a woman in Thailand, that's for sure.

How?

A certain syndrome that some consider to be related to an ex-president is a swearword now?

This very much sounds like it is still mainly about money.

More <removed> nonsense. 🙄

She needs to learn Thai culture a little more. It's normal (where the aggressor isn't foreign) to try to settle things with as little fuss as possible and allow the aggressor to simply pay compensation.

Out partying until 3am, then chilling at his apartment for a while in just his underwear. Still drunk , he went out to the balcony before 4am to have a cigarette and fell.

The most you can hope for is for the people you see regularly to like you.

Seems like the "suicide attempts" might be an indication of why he has suffered so many heartbreaks.

Perhaps it's all just a misunderstanding and this taxi driver, like all Thai taxi drivers, was being honest and charitable, trying to return someone's lost weapons to them. He just got the wrong person.
