The Thai guys that go that path are often cheated too. Never trust a woman, they ain't designed to be trusted. That may be your personal experience. I often wonder when I hear men or women complain that all members of the opposite sex are no good. Seems to me, it could be you who is attracted to that type of person or your actions generate that sort of response in others with whom you interact. I have found truthful, trustworthy, and good-looking women--in fact, I would have no other. Can I be the only man capable of finding a good woman?

I'm just happy to have a young one in my bed at night, she doesn't need to be 'good'. Yours sounds a bit too old for me, but she's probably 'good' enough for you.

I have seen other good women, so I know others have found them too. My concern is the vast numbers of men who have never been able to find a good one. Maybe good women are smart enough to know a loser when they see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours sounds a bit too old for me, but she's probably 'good' enough for you. Am I supposed to be impressed? I too can have a young one in bed; so can anyone who has the money. I hope you are proud of yourself that you can have what so many others have already had. My wife is indeed good enough for me and she is much younger than I. She still draws the looks of younger men, which drives their admiration of me. They do not even know her virtues, intelligence and capabilities. You know, those things you have never found in a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you misses getting hold of the company shares is a new one on me, naughty girl! It goes far beyond that. Being clever does not mean being good. I know a man who bought a house and lot for his sweet thing thinking that Thai law would award him 50%, if ever they divorced. Yet, like so many others, he bought in her village. When they divorced; they put the house up for sale. No one in the village was willing/had the money to buy the house. So it stayed on the market for several years while she continued to live in the house. Finally out of frustration; he agreed to sell the house at a very low price. He got much less than 50% of the twelve million baht expenditure he made for the house. Funny, she still lives in the house; with her "brother".

When I got divorced, I got the house in the divorce settlement 'cos she couldn't (wouldn't) make the repayments. I still live in that house with my son (I only paid 250KBht upfront). There's a difference between thinking you're clever, and actually being clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peasandmash Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 ?? The dream of gender diverse people in Thailand to marry their loved ones and get the same benefits and rights as straight couples is still far from becoming reality?? <deleted>? Gender is defined as the state of being male or female. Diverse is defined as showing a great deal of difference. So when a man marries a woman by definition that is a gender diverse couple.

You're just playing irrelevant cute word games. The issue is about same sex marriage. Opposite sex marriage is already legal everywhere. Next ..

Buying anything which you cannot control is beyond ignorance. You don't know they are untrustworthy until after you place your trust - it's easy to be wise after the event.

I do not buy property or businesses here and have no need for a builder. I buy vehicles from known sources, but nothing I cannot afford to lose. I rent property here, furnished if possible, and never sign long term leases. I am not worried about taxi rip-offs, chicken feed. I break no laws and have enough money to be here legally. If I ever need a lawyer I have an old Thai friend to smooth the way. If it is too much trouble, I could leave today. Too bad some of you have buried yourselves here through lack of proper planning.
