That was one of the first things I did for my wife - - so, that she would have security for the rest of her life.... If you can't afford it, that is one thing... but I hope she knew before as it is quite common the world over that a husband will provide a home for their wife - and hopefully a permanent one... Usually younger people don't want to be tired down to a house with cheap rent available and if they aren't on a pension they need to be mobile. They also can get the attention of other women more easily. Guys on pensioners with less than 8 years left aren't worried about being tired to one spot as they don't want to move anyway.

It also said that the 5 most useful things to remember about women in Thailand is: 1 - You never lose the girl, you only lose your turn. 2 - It’s cheaper to rent than to own. 3 - Whatever unscrupulous things they did to the last guy will be the same that you can look forward to. 4 - It’s purely the bulge in your back pocket that they like to feel the most. 5 - They are all special and different. Is any of this true??? Don't forget #6. Thai women have sex every week whether you are there or not. Asian women specifically want the 4 cees: 1) cash 2) condo 3) car 4) credit card If you are good are providing these things she will bring up the other 4 cees: 1) cut 2) clarity 3) carats 4) color 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have never been poor. A Thai lady from a poor family worries about her entire family - and wants that security for all of them. She is not so worried about richer people things like mobility and freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given I know what makes Thai women laugh, I doubt farangs can do so. IMO their sense of humour is not the same as a farang one. IMO if they laugh at a farang's jokes it's more likely they are pretending than actually amused, rather like faking an orgasm, which any woman can do easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
