It would be interesting to know what percentage of Farang/Thai marriages (relationships) are ex-hooker based. I'm not casted any opinion here, but at least my anecdotal experience, especially with the Brits it's a lot. Some seem to work out, a lot don't for a myriad of probably well worn reasons

And as for giving F-35 technology to a country which is at best a 'leaky ship', that almost laughable

Don't wanna derail this thread, but... If Xi was to decide to invade Taiwan that would also imply taking out US military assets in Japan at the same time. Thats a WW3 scenario, and I'm not sure Xi is ready for that....yet!

That was kinda my point. The work 'trafficked' is overused, and debases the real meaning

Let's not confuse sex trafficking with the choice of poor women to become 'bar girls' ie hooker in the various sexpots of Thailand. The real destination for trafficked women and girls is I hate to say the Western world, which is where the traffickers make their money, not some massage parlor in Pattaya

Never thought about that but thinking about it, it's true of most asian cultures. I met my wife in Singapore years before we moved to Thailand. As I think back I can't really ever remember holding hands, let alone kissing in public while we lived in Singapore or Thailand. Yet here we are in the US, and while we're both a bit old for the kissing in public bit, holding hands at least is second nature. ....and maybe a peck on the cheek is ok lol

Thing is, Liz was never really from WY, I think she spent a couple of years there in middle school and that was it. She lives in VA and thats her home, never was WY We live in next door SD and WY is full of nothingness, but the folks, what few there are there are fanatical Trumper's. If she really had been from WY she might have had a better chance to make her case, but this is a lost battle, move on to the next

How harsh .....I thought they were all 'Cashiers' <coughs

I'm going for a Star Trek theme Seven of Nine, who I preferred as the older version in ST Picard T'pol, ST Enterprise La'an Noonien-Singh, ST Strange New Worlds Empress Georgio, ST Discovery

Interesting perspective. So you would pick the partner with the outlook of her being your care giving while not wanting to reciprocate. So your 40 something still capable of caring for you gets in a car wreak, and ends up in the 'chair' You dump her, for a more chair pushing worthy replacement? I'd like to think in any loving long term relationship it doesn't matter which one of you needs caring for.

Really you believe that? In many 'normal' relationships men & woman are of a similar age. If you are just talking about sex well OK, just go for it. But at the end of the day what does that 25 yo and the 70 yo talk about at the end of the day, other than "tillack want boom boom". I'm sure discussing her day at work, what book you are reading, let's watch this film together figure really high on the list of chit chat topics So if delusion sex is all you want that works, but watch out for the mysterious 'brother' or 'cousin' Sex is an important part of our lives, but really money for love, dangerous business

My thoughts exactly. Not wanting to derail the OP, but she will lose her primary in WY tomorrow that is just a given. But, I think she sees this as one battle, not the war and a run at 2024 Presidency is the next battle
