Thai wives etc. Naïve and deluded?

I was reading the 'living it up in the 3rd world' thread and noted some comments :

Having spent the last 2 weeks in se Asia, I can confirm that a vast number of those with thai brides are indeed fat and ginger and probably wouldn't get a bride in the UK...

I work with a couple of guys who have Thai wives as they're always banging on about them and how great Thailand is etc. But being the cynical old bd that I am I struggle to understand what a relatively young, good-looking woman would see in a 40,50,60+ year old Englishman that has nothing really going for him in the physique or looks department but by Thai standards has a few quid in the bank. Of course they are always quick to tell you that "she's different and not like all the others" as they've been together for x years despite being away from each other for ~ 6 months of the year while they're working in the UK. What is she doing during those 6 months they're away? Would it perhaps be that she is spending time with one of her 'other' English husbands that she has on the hook who also happens to have a few quid?

I remember one of them telling me how he'd "tested" her to see if she really loved him. He'd sent her £500 for a plane ticket to come to the UK and he said that if she did a runner with the money rather buy the ticket then he'd know she was a bad'un. She did buy a ticket with it and come to the UK and all was rosy. He even used his money to build them a house over there but due to some local regulations it had to be in her name as he wasn't Thai. Unsurprisingly a short while later she suddenly didn't love him anymore and she got the house and a bunch of money and he was left destitute. Are people really this naïve? If I was on the scam then of course you're going to see right through his £500 plane ticket "test" and go along with it because you know there'll be even more cash flowing your way now that he trusts you .

I can't be the only one that sees this as one big well orchestrated scam, surely? Marry an old English guy with a few quid, get him to build you a house, wine and dine you etc, then bide your time til he pops his clogs and you clean up with his estate and then move on to the next victim?

I remember reading an old thread on here years ago from some old guy working offshore in the oil fields in Asia who'd married a young Filipino girl and bought a big house for her in the Philippines somewhere and then had her mother move in with them . Dunno if he still posts on here (can't remember the username) but he isn't going to be short of a few quid in that line of work and that kind of money would go a very long way in the Philippines. His young wife and family just biding their time? I guess when you're balls deep in some hot, young pretty thing you don't worry about things like that .

How does differ from a large number of western women? At least with a Thai they are far perter and less naggy.

You don't see (or hear about) our own old guys mincing around with a 20 something Western girl on their arm anywhere near as much as you do with 20 something South or Southeast Asian girls. I've no doubt it goes on but not to the same extent. Your other two points could be argued as it comes down to individual preference I guess. Personally I don't find Thai girls attractive at all although I have seen some attractive Filipinos in my time.

Ah casual racism. I imagine the OP and partner are highly attractive specimines of their race?

BTW, I'm 6ft2, no ginger hair with a far Eastern partner.

What does the OP think of women who have afro-carribean partners? Are they also categorised?

How have we gone from SE-Asian-women-probably-only-with-Western-bloke-for-the-money to That's-WAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!!!!! ???

Go and be offended elsewhere please and take your racist accusations with you, nob.

Moving back to the UK soon - with his wife and child - and I'm sure, All That Jazz, he's thrilled with your thinly veiled accusation of him being some sort of sex tourist/paedo.

Not sure how you've reached that conclusion unless you have an overactive imagination . My only thoughts on such arrangements are simply as already stated in my OP : "I can't be the only one that sees this as one big well orchestrated scam, surely? Marry an old English guy with a few quid, get him to build you a house, wine and dine you etc, then bide your time til he pops his clogs and you clean up with his estate and then move on to the next victim?". It's clear from the bulk of the replies in this thread that I'm not alone in this thinking either.

Just caught up with this thread again. Seems like most here are in agreement that it's a recipe for disaster and will all end in tears, mostly backed up with stories of their own or close friends whom it's happened to. Would it be fair to say that those screaming "WAAAAAAAAAAACIST!" etc are the ones currently in denial that their Thai/Filipino bride are not like all the others and it won't happen to them then?

I know of someone who left his wife and kids to marry a philipo woman, his eldest daught was older than his new wife, she moved over here and they have a couple of kids together, but i last saw him maybe 4 years ago and she spoke little english, normally she just nodded, smiled and said yes a lot.

If all you can get in the real world is some flabby old trout your own age, then swapping to a sweet young tight, Asian girl, who doesn't speak much, well, I can't see a downside.

Even though there's no actually love or feelings from her side and she's only in it for your brass when you pop your clogs? Surely it'd be cheaper to rent by the hour if that was all you were bothered about?

Yes if just fancy a quick bonk every now and then but a live in maid\cook\sex slave on tap 24/7? I think you'll find the Thai Bride will be cheaper plus it's a deferred payment plan as she'll only get most of your money when you pop your clogs at which point you'll be dead anyway and won't care.

Yes I suppose that's fine so long as you're under no illusions that she doesn't love you nor has any feelings for you and is cringing like fk in disgust when you're balls deep inside her.

not normal Thai women who I am sure are lovely and don't stoop to that kind of thing at all.

Genuine chuckle.

Is this some sort of code??? Or are you simply retarded?

I thought the same. Check his recent post history, I think his account has been hacked or he's drunk.

Kinda showed the spectrum of people who post on piston heads. The good, the childish and the thinly veiled racists.
