Yeah.....Thai Visa.....what can you do?

Anyway, yes, you can find a good woman here. However, a lot of them, even the good ones, have insane ideas about what the West is like, how much money you have, and on and on and on. That is the biggest thing. Ironically, getting a Thai woman outside of Thailand for a while can make a huge difference and unravel a lot of her myths about it. There are quite a few people here who have good relationships that (surprise!) have the same sorts of issues as Western ones, with some twists and turns. But it would definitely be different to being with a Peruvian,who would be closer to North American or European culture, even though there is still a big difference there.

In your situation, though, I would try to find a place within hiking distance of Machu Pichu and give it a go!

In all seriousness, though, take it slow and don't let your little head direct your bigger head--that means time delay, so you can distinguish between the two.

less than a year, she changed her number because I made her angry previously. Ah well. A short-lived romance I guess. But overall I still like Thai girls, at least they're better than the girls of my own country.

Dao, I would love to live in a smaller city in Peru but the woman I date wants no part of it. She says anything outside Lima is too dangerous. (I don't find Lima particularly safe myself lol ) So she either wants to live in Lima, US or Thailand. She has never been to the US or Thailand. I am a bit concerned she wouldn't like it and then what?

I would live in Lima if it wasn't so darn expensive. I suppose we could live in the US but I'm not crazy about that idea. We haven't dated long so it may not even be an issue when the time comes (2016).

mmmm....that is a rough spot. I would imagine parts of the countryside would be safer than the city, but I am basing that on other Latin American countries, so...doesn't mean a thing.

My experience with Latin American women is somewhat similar to what some people said before....in places like Asia (or heck, even Europe and parts of North America--the parts without latinos) Latin American women will lack that "spice" in life, like the dancing, the food and the style of relating to people. Granted, Peruvians are all over Asia, due to the connections, which I am sure you know about already. So, perhaps, she could find some Peruvians around and be part of that community, but I mostly saw those communities in NE Asia.

Well, good luck. See how the next 2 years or so treat you. But my basic point from before was that, yeah, a lot of us do have good relationships, but there is a lot of bad news ladies around, too. There are too many variables to go into right here, but all hope is not lost. How about we switch places, hahaha....I need a change of scenery (but not a change of wife).

Take care.

Mate, true love is elusive at any time, anywhere. Everyone wants to meet their perfect 'Soul Mate'.

How many people do you know, anywhere, who share their lives with their perfect 'soul mate'? Not many I'll wager.

Yes, of course it is possible. Just as possible as it is where you come from, (where you all speak the same language).

It's a bit like winning the lottery of life really.

Like shopping for fruit..some you put in the cart others you leave for the next guy. Actually, I must say most people here have been very gracious and friendly. I have received a couple of private messages about who to avoid...so far they have been spot on, but it really doesn't take long to sort the fresh fruit from the rubbish.

Don't know if I have posted this but I hope you understand.

I was with a lady in UK for 23 years, married 19. We were so in love for 20 years (I perhaps still am). Something clicked with her and that was the end of our love.sad.png She wanted to do something else.

Not that long before her ''click'' she said to me ''I hope I die before you cos I could not live without you''. sad.png

That is the honest truth. My point is you may think you have true love but the longevity is another thing cos we all change as we get older.

Sorry to hear that transam. I Went through something similar myself here in the States. I was married 14 years before we had "The Talk".

I know there are a lot of scammers out there. I know there are a lot of Thai Ladies who use their Western Union boyfriends. I know some Thai wives wait to get everything in their name and then kick their hubby out the door. Yes, the guy is partially to blame for not being more cautious, but I place most of the blame where it belongs, with the scammer.

I am not doubting those things happen in fact from what I gather it may even be the norm.

The point of my thread was to see if there were some positive stories out there to balance all the horror stories one hears about Thai-farang relationships.

Not sure why people get upset because others experiences are different than their own. But maybe their experiences have just made them sensitive to this topic. It is understandable.

Anyway, I was not trying to piss anyone off or discount anyone's personal experience.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yep, I am severely battle scared. When I hear this song it all comes back.................And I have no issues revealing it to you all.

transam ... I've never met you in person, but, on this Forum, you are a revelation.

I appreciate the honesty.

It takes a person of courage to man up sometimes ... you are never in the back row ... wai.gif

Difference between bar girl and massage girl, massage girl does 10 hand jobs a day.
She's a good girl. Please do not discriminate.

They are really two sides of the same coin.

For sure, doesn't mean one side has changed does it. ?

I suppose if you go looking in toilets you will find a turd.

To the men who come to Thailand looking for love, I say "Beware". It can happen for you but the natural way of finding it is usually the best. In any culture, there are good and bad women. Look out for warning signs, and trust your heart. If you have doubts, they are there for a reason. Money isn't everything, happiness. All the best Tim.I have a success

Of course true love is possible in Thailand many men love themselves.

Yep. Thanks for your advice. This thai girl I like, she actually wanted me to transfer her money but I didn't. But I still love her and will find her.
