Mr Perfect? Me? Not so much.

 

I do, however, know exactly what I want when it comes to a long term relationship.

The number one thing that I look for in a Thai girl is that she's not crazy and doesn't have temper tantrums over petty matters.

 

I have had a toaster thrown at my head once (because I came home late from the snooker club), and I don't want that to happen again.

 

After that, she needs to be slim, pretty, and be financially independent. I actually prefer girls who don't speak any English, because I know that she hasn't worked in a bar, and by speaking with her I will improve my Thai.

 

Looking for a girl with big milk here is like looking for someone who loves bacon in Tel Aviv. Sure, it can be done, but it's a futile manoeuvre.

For the salty taste ....

Not from Out of Africa, although Denys does speak about not wanting to be owned and how marriage would not improve love.

 

The lines from the funeral was a moving moment in the (long!) film ....

 

 "So take back the soul of Denys Finch-Hatton. He brought us joy, we loved him well. But...he was not ours. He was not mine."

Meeting a woman isn't like buying a car, so why have a list of accessories you must check off before you decide on which model to take?

That's it right there. This has killed the dating scene in much of the world. With the advent of dating sites and then apps, everyone's simply going down a checklist. Guys look at the pics and attractiveness. Women zero in on height and income. I'm lacking in both those areas, which left me with a decade of misery trying to meet women, after which I finally came to the LOS, and met my wife.

 

Going down the checklist tells you absolutely nothing about the quality of person you'll meet. You might tick the boxes, only to find they're a total psycho, I believe what accounts for the high rate of divorces and failed relationships these days. Vice versa, you're probably writing off a vast number of decent people and promising relationships, simply because you couldn't tick all their boxes.

 

With this I'm constantly reminded of my grandparents. They grew together in a small town. They didn't need any of this rubbish. They married at a young age, and remained so for the rest of their lives.

There was always a high failure rate for marriage, IMO. The difference between now and 70 years ago is that divorce was not really acceptable, so people stayed together despite disliking each other. Often they stayed together "for the kids". Once the law started rewarding women for divorce, it became more acceptable to women that no longer faced poverty after divorce.

I just saw this picture someone posted. Make sure she doesn't think this is acceptable; unless of course you do.

Nah, the difference between then and now is .........

It's all about money, and it's always been about money.

but is it really because people dislike each other?

or do most human beings have such serious character flaws that they can't be in a relationship with anyone for an extended period?

More men will just carry on with their woman no matter how unpleasant she has become.

It's generally women who are dissatisfied and unhappy and wanting more and dumping their husbands.

 

But the thing is the women never get any happier, they just make themselves more dissatisfied and more unhappy. Then fill a house full of cats (or sometimes dogs) then smell of cat pee for the rest of their lonely lives.

 

My Brit wife of 30 years ditched me, then complained to everyone that would listen for the next 10 years, while living in the home I purchased and surrounding herself with dogs. I was married to a new and much younger wife within a year, apart from losing my house she was easily replaced. I never thought once of dumping my Brit wife, I just endured whatever she threw at me.

You come across as a bit controlling with demands that they like what you like but not the other way round. My wife and I agree on some food or TV/films ect but not all. Why would we? 

 

My wife is educated to Masters level whereas I'm not.  Years of experience has shown me that university education involves both intelligent people and idiots.  Her family are ok as well so I don't have a problem with psychotic brothers.

 

Basically what I look for in a Thai woman or any woman for that matter is exactly the qualities that my wife possesses. What she looks for is a man who understands that. Which I do. So that's OK then.  ????

1. Must speak good English.

 

2. Must be open to unusual sex acts.

 

3. Must be honest

 

4. Must give her Messenger and Gmail passwords on demand

 

5. Must be trustworthy

 

6. Must know Thai massage

 

7. Must have small family or be an orphan.

 

8. Must have sunny disposition

 

9. Must be under 51 Kilos

 

10. Must have beautiful face.

I think a lot of these 'requirements' in a potential mate are the reason so many people are lonely.  It seems everyone is chasing perfection that very seldom exists.

2. Has a solid circle of friends who are similarly educated.

3. Has a stable job on a decent income.

4. Does not hang around in bars in her spare time.

5. Has never been and does not mix with bar girls or prostitutes.

6. Enjoys similar kinds of food as I do.

7. Has a decent taste in music & films and/or is willing to learn about them if she doesn't know much.

8. Does not have any psychotic brothers that sleep with a pistol under their pillow.

9. Is calm and affectionate and does not fly off the handle every time I spill beer on the couch.

10. Has a great smile.

 

I would like to see the list the Thai lady with the characteristics you seek has for her requirements she has for a potential suitor.

 

Sorry, you don't meet the requirements.

Not sure if O/P wanted to be take seriously, but his list of requirements reads to me like a description of one of the 'Rich Bitches' we see on ch7 Soaps.  if that is what he wants, good luck to him.

As for listing requirements for a car,  I did that once, and after a 5 min test drive, I knew it was not for me.  I suspect that doing the same for a wife would have the same result.

When you meet the right person, you will know it.  Sensible, frugal and honest, would be enough for me.

Until then dream on.  there is plenty of eye candy in Thailand to keep you busy.

True.

Beauty is only skin deep and can be gone in an accident. If people only "love" someone because they look good, what will they do if their partner loses their looks for some reason?

For the women, up to them not to lose their looks.

For the men, up to us not to lose our money.

 

This is the deal women are forcing on men, they should be keeping up their side of the deal.

Sure, it's not the way I wanted things to be, but nobody gave me any choice.

Don't have alimony in NZ, but wife gets 50% of assets and usually keeps the children ( and the family house till they grow up ) in the "no fault" divorce after a 2 year separation.

 

The government decided that women should still get the goodies even if not married, and just living together is the same legally as being married, after a few years together.

 

Hurrah for the Thais not going down that road.

What about if the wife is in a car accident not of her making, and gets a damaged face? If there isn't more to a relationship than lust, that relationship is in trouble anyway.

The women who are extremely good-looking are the ones that tend to do nothing but ask for money. 

Plain janes are better for long-term relationships, generally.

180,000 Euro this Filipina. 180,000 Euro!

And she was smart about it too. Didn't ask for money outright. "Oh my sister doesn't have enough money to go to school"..."Our business is doing really bad..."...."Oh no, I don't want to take money from you"....Suddenly I was out of pocket 180,000 Euro. Good times though. Good times.
