If you lived there long enough, you would understand them better and see they're not all that way. Some, many in fact, are stable, family oriented and not greedy. They're usually with the smart men who won't let them go so a single one is harder to find. I find Thai women to be among the most attractive on earth, but I've seen many and been with some American ones that are killer. They're not all Karens , huge or Kardashians.

And it's also hard to stop people from assuming they know anything about you, because ignorance is rampant in many.

Do you know my past? No, so you can't comment on any of it. They obviously wanted me as they were with me for some time. I could have stayed with almost all of them, but our future plans didn't coincide so we went our own ways. I wasn't as good at spotting a covert narcissist then as i am now, especially after my ex here. I gave some the benefit of the doubt even though red flags were there. Better to leave sooner than later. Especially if no children are involved. If you had more than 5 or 6 girlfriends in your life, you would understand this. I treat all women very well, with love , respect and honor. Why would a woman that's attracted to this leave? Because future plans again, don't coincide. I got to know my wives better because we had children and I always try and make things work, but it takes two and both have to be on the same page. if there's abuse, neglect, cheating or mental illness, you don't stay, even if there are children. You just leave and make sure those children go with the stable parent, at least as fast as possible.

GG, I've read that, along with hundreds of other books and articles on children, so I could help the ones I've had, especially because their mothers were not parents and only egg donors. And try not thinking others don't understand Chinese women and you're some kind of expert. Do you have a Chinese girlfriend or wife, or any long lasting relationships with any, or are you just on the outside reading a few stories about how they might think? Again, it's best not to assume you know me, nor anyone else here.

Who says I haven't met any normal women? I've had almost 100 girlfriends, and many of them were very nice, stable women. The ones I married is what you've heard about. Those were my bad choices where I could have done a lot better with many of the girls I dated. That I had children with them is the only reason I stayed at all. Normal women aren't imaginary. They're just the jewels we hope to someday find, and you will, if you have faith and avoid toxic ones as soon as possible.

Again, you need to stop commenting on things you know little to nothing about. You have not been to the US in 45 years, so your opinion means nothing. You're ass kissing of the Chinese doesn't work here, as most of us know what the China thinking is about.There are countless Chinese women who are abused and looked down upon by their men, which is the same thinking in all of Asia, mainly because of Buddhist thinking about a woman's place. A Chinese woman who moved to America is still a Chinese woman, although she's a US citizen and is smart enough to see what Trump is all about, something which many of his voters still don't see.

I have seen many gorgeous Thai women with fat men who aren't near rich. Being rich doesn't make you a good catch to anything besides a gold digger. A normal woman needs more than money, although providing is high on her list. Many women cheat on rich men because they are all about money themselves, and think they're somehow better than everyone because of this, even if they got that money by raping the environment or hurting others in some way. A fat old man that listens to and treats his wife with respect is a much better husband than a lean narcissist that thinks he's god's gift, not understanding in a few years he'll also be a fat old man, but still a narcissist, and not a catch for anyone. Beta males are the real men, who raise kids and strengthen the household, while the alpha losers ruin families and businesses with their arrogance and ego. Times have indeed changed. It's much easier to expose a narcissist now than ever before, and they usually end up all alone, or with a woman that's only there for the cash.

What you don't understand, is that I do understand child development, not only from personal experience having 6 kids, but being one myself. Again, the most important times in a child's development are ages 0-5, with the years afterward bolstering that teaching, hopefully in a good environment. Yes, peers can change a teens thinking for awhile, especially if the child didn't grow up in a stable environment and look to the peers for how they should act. A child that grew up in a stable environment usually will be a stable adult, with some stupid acts of rebellion that might cause trouble. I don't see rage in her face at all. I see anger because Trump was busted, and he went to his usual deflection which angers most anyone who understands what he's all about. If you think you know Chinese people because you spent more time in Asia, think again. First hand experience is usually the best, depending on what that experience is. You can spend time with Asians living in the NYC metro area, which I did, and learn just as much about their culture if you ask the right questions to the right people. Living in Asia is of course the best way, but a teacher about any subject can come from anywhere on earth, if they're a good teacher. You, like a few others here, assume they know anything about anyone, especially here, where only a few words are thrown around. You don't. You have said yourself you spend most of your time indoors, and that doesn't expose you to much, while a person can spend a quarter of the time in the same area as you, and be exposed to much more because they are out in it. Don't assume I don't understand human nature, and that includes Asian women as well as western. This is what I spent years reading on, human psychology. You thinking people are that much different because they grew up in a different locale is wrong. You also keep thinking the US has changed so much, yet you haven't been there in 45 years. I could say, with a good degree of faith, that you know very little of what goes on there now and can only assume from seeing videos of things or by word of mouth, which is just opinions. Being "warped" into an American woman? What makes you think American women are warped? By seeing a few videos of Karens acting weird? I used to see Asian women as screamers because I only saw them on TV shows and news before I moved here. Funny thing, it was true as I've seen since I've been here these years. Women are the same, with a few quirks that are cultural, the world over. Same needs, wants, desires and unrealistic expectations. Suppressed a bit here, but not that much. I really don't think you know much about women at all, as you again, rarely get out much. There is rage in women in China just as much as in America. Some just are better at hiding emotions, at least in public. I'm sure you've never seen a Thai woman go off. I have personally, and she, my ex, was as scary as any women I've ever seen, or been around, and that's thousands. Beyond what my other ex did, and she was also nuts. She is dangerous, and one big reason I will take my daughter out of here, as I've seen firsthand her abuse on her other daughter.One last thing. have you ever had a child, and raised one? I think my experience in child development puts yours to shame, even if you have had any kids.

Both parties arrange a meeting to settle the differences peacefully, which is what civilized people do, teaching their children that fighting isn't the answer and trying to get along with or ignoring them is. Bringing guns to this meeting isn't a way to settle the differences but to use force if the other party doesn't give in and bow down to their control. A man kicking a woman is also another way of control, and showing how a coward settles arguments by interfering in another's dispute. This is how gangs operate, and why the US gets such a bad rap about gun use, while intentional homicides are higher here.

And you are as ignorant and as much of a skimmer as he. Read ALL of what a person writes BEFORE you comment. I know what he's mentioned about road safety, and have since I was a teenager. It isn't that hard to understand why accidents happen, but failing to understand that it's still on the driver first is what he's missing. In the US, there are much more involved classes on road safety when you go for your license, and you have to pass a bigger test, including a driving test. If those tests were given here, many would fail and not be given a license until they passed, which would mean they had a better understanding of what it takes to be a safe driver. Try your childish sarcasm elsewhere, as you haven't a clue to whom you're commenting about. Assuming is a bad habit.

You sound exactly like him, another one who assumes what others here know. What he's been saying all along we agree with, at least as far as some of the reasons why accidents happen here. What he misses is the human equation, where the driver is first responsible for their behavior on the roads. A good driver can adapt to any road conditions, and if they follow the laws already there, a responsibility of all drivers if they are given a license, there won't be the accidents or deaths daily that happen. If they can wear a helmet as a driver, they know all passengers should also, is but one example of thumbing their noses at a law they know about.

"Being a good driver regardless of country involves understanding and adapting to the driving environment.".Your words from above............This contradicts what you've been saying all along, that it's more the infrastructure, police and roads to blame than the driver. I myself fit in as soon as I started driving in Thailand, even driving on the opposite side, as I knew this was the law here. Fitting in with driving on ANY road in ANY country means you understand the laws BEFORE you drive, and follow them as you drive. Driving isn't a right but a privelege, something taken for granted here because many start on scooters at 8 years old and think they're competent enough when they get a little older, even though they started out with bad habits. Foreigners that come here have been driving in their advanced countries for years, meaning they already know the laws of safe driving. This doesn't mean all of them, as there are idiot drivers everywhere and I make no excuses for them, as they also have no business driving. Being polite and respecting others, Kreng Jai, means you do it everywhere, and I, along with many foreign drivers, already do this. If Thai people, meaning the ones who are causing the accidents, understood this, they would not cut others off and drive recklessly around others. Again your words......."Apparently Unpredictable driving behaviour due to politeness or hesitation goes over the heads of foreigners when Thai drivers recognize and expect it"............If they recognize and expect it, they wouldn't drive like they do and cause so many deaths and accidents daily...

You're the naive one thinking it's me. You spout data about enforcement, infrastructure and road conditions but completely miss the fact that it's the driver's responsibility to drive safely, and that's their deal. Not the testers at the motor vehicle offices, not the police, not the road departments, nor anyone else. It's actually you that's cherry picking. It appears that you read a little of what others write, skim, and make a reply based on what you think is right and dismiss what others say, thinking we're wrong . Stop assuming. You have no idea how much I nor anyone else here knows. We see accidents and bad driving habits daily. This isn't lies. We all know about the lack of enforcement and bad roads here, as well as the lack of training drivers get. Your words earlier................"driving norms differ dramatically between countries, even when road rules appear similar"..............Thailand adopts most things from somewhere else, meaning the west primarily. They see how people drive and how tests are given, what laws work and what makes safe driving, how roads are maintained, signs that help drivers, yet they don't enforce these laws because of a lack of care here for life itself. If they cared, they would not let children drive scooters,have buses with children sitting on the top, let people drive 5 on a scooter, with adults wearing helmets and children without., etc etc etc. They know they should wear helmets and that children need to wear them also. This is ignorance of the law they know. That the police don't stop and fine them is another problem that contributes to more of the same, and deaths daily. But it's first, again, on the driver. Accidents happen here because of all of this, but it's still on the DRIVER to drive safe. Common sense is lacking here, in many areas, and driving is one of them. You make it sound like they have an excuse for driving bad because of their lack of training. Many here have taken driving tests, and seen what goes on in the classes. Videos are shown and people are on their phones, and miss the safety instructions, and are given licenses . Many don't drive with licenses. Ignorance of laws isn't anyone's fault but the person involved. Again, some of what you've said is right, and some is wrong. Bringing race into this is ignorance, and that's shows the intellectual equivalence of a teenager who doesn't know better. You can join the list of those here that assume they know others, or you can stop assuming and digest what others are saying.

How many foreigners have you asked to check if they have licenses? Remember, you said most. How many's vision have you checked? Their reflexes? Usually drunk? These statements are obviously prejudicial, and wrong, as you probably don't know but a few foreigners personally, and you base your comment of them? How many Thai traffic signs have you seen? I've driven here over 6 years, and follow the road rules, which are the same as in the US. Never a problem. I have driven in the US for 50 years, and yes, many aren't good drivers, and some shouldn't be on the road, but that's the few I've personally seen, so I can't judge others without knowing them and seeing them drive myself. Foreigners that get into auto accidents are news here, so that's what you see, ether here or on TV. The amount of locals that get into accidents is 99% of the accidents that happen daily, if not more, but you only hear about a fraction that happens because it isn't newsworthy unless people are killed, and then you'll only see a couple a day on TV, although 60 die a day, at least, and there are thousands of accidents you'll never hear about.

You are right in some of what you say, about the enforcement and roads, infrastructure,but you're wrong thinking I'm off in my assessments. It isn't bias when you see things personally firsthand. It isn't racist when you tell things as they are. It's observation, and mine mirrors many others here. This topic is about perceptions and reality, something I've talked about many times, and you're still missing it, maybe because you refuse to believe you're wrong in some thinking, and others have more experience than you do in some things. This is the definition of perception..... per·cep·tion /pərˈsepSH(ə)n/ noun noun: perception; plural noun: perceptions the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. "the normal limits to human perception" .................That's what I've been saying all along. I and others here have that ability. reality is what actually is happening, meaning the same thing. We are seeing how people drive here, daily, for years, and things haven't changed and only gotten worse. Personal observations are real. We aren't hallucinating when we see locals cut people off, drive recklessly, go into oncoming traffic instead of taking the safer approach and going in the next lane, driving with up to 6 on a scooter, driving without helmets or having children operate motor vehicles illegally. It's reality. There is some agenda you seem to have, where you think what you say is right and we are all wrong, as it is hardly just me that observes these things happening. Where do you think data comes from? People. .
