It snows a lot in the winter, and there are very few Thai people or Thai food. She will have to be tough to stick it out, and learn English fast. A Thai girl I knew eventually hooked up with a guy in Ohio. She got a job at one of the car manufacturing factories. She couldn't believe how tough it was. Can't talk while working. Few people to socialize with. Hard work, short breaks. Her hubby was a working class guy. They could make ends meet, but no life of luxury. She eventually had a baby and then I lost contact with her. So many Thais see the foreigner over in Thailand spending money, and they watch the TV soap operas and shows like Dynasty and Dallas and think everything just happens and that all Americans are rich. They have no idea of how difficult it is for the middle or lower working class people. Interesting about the guy in this article though. He was broke, but now just a short time later he seemingly has all this wealth and income? Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have you posted about how 'lucky' you are living off a girl's earnings? Thread after thread and you wear it like a badge of 'honour'. Firstly she must have been desperate and secondly you have no shame. Never said I was lucky. I have disagreements and arguments with my wife. This is what I expect in a relationship anyway and would rather have that than the fake smiles and welcomes cuz the family seems me as an infinite wallet. Anywoo.... wot u go about pride again? Explain to me (again) what is so honorable about coming to a country where 80% of population live in poverty and you taking advantage of that? Were you such a gentleman back in your country or you couldn't afford it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tongjaw Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Good on you mate. Age is a number only and don’t concern yourself about others. My gorgeous Thai wife is 20 year younger than me.

But the difference is you live in Udon Thani with your Thai wife -- he wants his Thai wife to live with him in USA which requires the say-so of the US Department of State.

Chris Lawrence Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Love? The best one I saw was on a train trip back from Surfers Paradise to Sydney. This young fellow met the girl 30km out from the first station and by Macksville was engaged. Showed her off to mum and all; asked for her blessing I think. Everyone in the carriage clapped and snickered when it was announced. He got off just before Newcastle, probably to head back into the Hills? Made the trip go quicker.

ThaidaGwaii Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Not bad, but... I met my wife in Bangkok and proposed to her 3 days later. Got her mom's permission and were married 2 weeks later. We've been together 8 years now. She was 39 and me 49 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason that springs to mind is an attempt to perhaps underscore how much they love their missus, by giving them financial control.... the significant word there is control.... but in the game of hands, I know whom I want to have the upper hand.

They have the same ups and downs as in any relationship, but they are all happy, healthy relationships of equals. Must admit I don’t know any pilots though, any reason they are particularly unhappy?

MaeJoMTB Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 7 hours ago, boomerangutang said: 24 year difference. Ok. How about 40 year difference - a couple I know - and they get along great. Plus; the better way to make it work for more than a few weeks: bring along the gal's sisters and/or best friends if possible. One is ok, two is good, 3 is better. The more the merrier. If you're Akha (you can get accepted in a tribe. I did it) ....you can legally have more than one wife. The only parameters are: A. have to provide separate lockable bedroom for each wife, and B. can't openly have favorites re; sexual interactions or money/gifts. This was told to me by two Akha ladies (cute as kittens), with all seriousness. Picture it: an older guy with one younger wife. She's going to be bored and/or glued to a digital screen most of her waking hours. OR an older guy with several younger wives. They're going to be interacting (joyfully, one hopes), joking, gossiping, conversing, playing, etc Which scenario is better - for both the man and the women? Lanna tradition was for a guy to marry ALL the sisters .... if he could afford it. Allegedly the sisters wanted to live together, even if that meant sharing the man.

True, but there are the benefits of obtaining an American permanent stay visa and eventually American citizenship, including if the girl decides she wants out of the marriage, a divorce settlement will fall under the American system and if she has his child, she is in win, win situation. As for learning English she already seems quite sufficient in that department according to the video.. After a few months in the States she`ll soon pick it up.

daboyz1 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yes. But bargirl or not, they have only known each other a matter of weeks which will not make people at the Embassy very happy.Depends on the visa applied for. Technically the only relationship requirement for a K1 is meeting once in the last two years. The consulates world wide seem to hand out K1s more easily than they will an actual marriage visa. I suspect this is because they're granting a non-immigrant visa rather than an immigrant visa. Let USCIS make the decision rather than DOS.Just a theory based on what I've seen. They were much tougher on my wife with her IR1 interview than they usually are on a K1 interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to a happy marriage with no sick Thai relatives and no sick water buffalo! No, just another shmuck with his head in the clouds; what IMV he should realise is that the Thai's ability to 'accept' is so much greater than ours (Westerners') - she will be able to accept easily his difference in age and the different way he thinks and his physical difference because of the advantages that she expects will be bestowed on her by him not because she prefers him to a Thai man of her own age who she can 'connect' with physically and mentally. He needs to look around him and see what Thais will accept, stuff that Westerners wouldn't put up with, try to understand the 'mai pben rai' and the 'up to you' of Thainess - the basis of her attachment to him is not in truth, I suggest, worthy of him thinking he's won the lottery.

Where does one draw the line on age? I know a guy in BKK who is 90. I met him at the gym he was believe it or not, doing bench press. He has a gf in her 40's. Good for them Two consenting adults so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
