if one is at poverty level income in america , will a thai woman accept him as a husband in

[camper star]

My question is the above but continues as... in her country.

My thoughts on this are that a woman of virtue will most likely fall in love with such a man from a foreign country. 

 

Have you found this true in your relationship with your Thai wife?

$15,000 USD a year is probably better than 75% of the folks in ASEAN

Thank you.

I wonder what other Americans with such dreams of living and marring a Thai country girl that their family lives off the land with very little money. 

Will a warm and gentle smile tell you the truth of such of true-love connection in their future 

[worgeordie]

If your poor , look for a rich woman here , that's what you need to do,

if your hansom and well hung ,it might just  work out for you, good luck

Most of the stress on relationships are financial and/or infidelity. Yes, there is true love in Thailand. But to work, it has to be based on equality in the relationship. Everybody wants to live with a little bit of padding. That's not greed. Throw in betrayal and...you don't deserve her.

It is an age and appearance based question.

Young and handsome can offset the income requirement.

Old and impoverished does not. The best that a farang  caan hope for is a well used prostitute commonly known as a bar girl. The older, poorer and uglier the farang, the  more unpalatable the Thai companion.

Educated, wealthy Thai women do not fall over themselves for old impoverished farangs. Why would they when they can do better.

[KhunLA]

They'll have to marry, as not enough for a retirement visa, unless 800k deposited, and unlikely if at poverty level of $15k.

 

Nobody needs to live at that level when McD pays $15 hr = $31k for a 2080 hrs year of work.

That's true in a way but living at poverty level, as millions do, and having a good man that's home everyday, helps around the house, and puts you first, is still a lot better than living with a man that cheats on you that has a lot more money., spends most of his time drinking and watching sports, looking at his wife as a slave or housemaid, or stays away from home the majority of the time and does nothing to help.

 

Many women think more money has them living a better life, and try and find a farang because he's a better catch than locals who do almost nothing but want sex, clean his clothes and house, and pad krapow every day. Many find it doesn't turn out much better, so money isn't the reason you look for a better partner but character. Of course a man should have the ability to take care of his family, and that leaves out the non working population. 

 

An educated, wealthy woman might have more things, but still can't find a suitable partner because money doesn't make a man. Yes, they don't want a bum, but a man who's working or retired with enough to get by, and older is still a better find than a younger man with money who will get bored with what he has and look outside, There are plenty of Thai older women that were never bar girls that an older man can find as a suitable partner that would appreciate a decent man. And there are millions of younger, independent women who end up with men who are boys that never grew up so it's always a crap shoot.

Hey, that is sound solid advice. Thank you. Grown up on the farmlands of Illinois I value a genuine country smile that enlightens the heart of truth in one's true character.

Your comment is well received by me. But as you read, the lady of virtue is from a farming community and does have that spark in her soul of truth of "like accept me as I am" ( that is her )  . So putting my foot forward with a simple farming life, maybe and do hope the magic of love comes true.

Great advice.

A man of virtue will come into a lady of virtue also, is that correct?

Yes, as an OAP living on a western pension, I've found many desperately poor young and attractive Thai farm girls prepared to fall in love with me.

 

Not absolutely sure on their 'virtue' status though.

That's the idea, but sadly, mismatches occur every day since the beginning of time, and the breakdown of families, and the problems within many,  is what makes most problems worldwide. Good people belong with good people, and the bad should end up with the bad, but it doesn't happen enough.

I honestly thank you for your comment. It means a lot to me that people understand the universe of life that we are connected with.

ok.

As a man of modest means, and with 20+ years of living in Thailand/Laos/Burma behind me, I have been the most financially-stable, stress-free and healthy when I live alone and don't bother seeking romance, love or dirty women! (3 marriages/divorces later).

 

Ask yourself - why would any women in any country be interested in some old guy who has no money?!  For love??  Don't make me laugh... If you're 50 years+, there is only 1 reason why a women would be interested in you and that's for money or for inheritance when she/her family 'dispose' of you 🙂

 

Come to Thailand, enjoy a bachelor life and your hobbies (I enjoy counting trains passing by my abode, still looking out for the first one...)

Your view on the reality of life is correct.  As a Viet Nam Veteran with a past marriage, I thank you for such wisdom and insight.

My wife and I live on what would be poverty in the States. She had the property, I paid for the house. We live on my SS check and I am getting richer by the day from my savings and investments. If the woman has a house, I think she would be happy for the 40,000+bht a month.

I believe most foreigners living in Thailand are at poverty level in their home countries.

Amigo -- the problem with living overseas on American poverty-level income is that, while it's more than the locals make, it will leave you very little cushion for the problems of life -- illness, her desire that you support her whole family and build a house for them all (which she gets if you split), the occasional desire to travel, if you have kids, etc.  This doesn't sound like much of a plan.  It's nice to think of a "lady of virtue" loving you for your simple downstate smile, but I'm just not sure it's realistic and most likely you will end up poor and alone here, with the U.S. Embassy buying you a ticket home.

 

I don't mean to dump all over your hopes, but I've been here long enough to see this happen over and over and over again.

What a nonsense. Real men don't support their wives or families financially, real men find a real wife who loves them for who they are. A truly real man (not you obviously!)  enables his sweetheart to take care of herself.

Best to keep paying yours in your situation.

PS I am a seriously old raspberry (note to non-English speakers raspberry ripple = cripple). To say I have bought a house, car and carer is only a bit simplistic. (And yes she was a bar girl, a far easier 'courtship'). It suits me fine and it's better than the neglect I suffer at home in Blighty.

Sorry i don't understand you anger in your post. but maybe you have truly found the lady in a relationship that brings you the joy and happiness that a man deserves in life

Too many burned people here. Life is risky, sure, but don't believe everyone has had the same luck as you or the people you choose to hang with.

Additionally, assume that there is a 'true' woman out there in Thailand who meets your dream, how are you going to find her? You can spend a lot of money, time and stress trying to locate such a woman.  Do you expect her to speak English?  If she is competent in speaking English, then I would say that she is either well-educated, (and probably won't give you the time of day when she learns of your financial situation).  Or she is an ex (or current) bar-girl, with all the mental problems that come with that profession and a greedy attitude towards your money for her and her family.

 

Come and retire in Thailand or Laos or Cambodia.  But don't do it on the assumption that your sweetheart is out there somewhere.
