While John5001 may not have a good perspective, he made some valid points and does not deserve the abuse heaped on him by some of the more pious in society.
"pious"
i'm scared to look that one up. not sure if my self image can take it.
actually, i'm sure many or all, agree, some of his points are valid, since most have graduated or posssible still working on the doctorate at WBU. i believe the offensive part is the generalization of ALL or ANY thai lady is worthy of his company. obviously all generalizations have that problem. and a couple, more tolerant than myself, did try to point out, once here, it's very possible to find a companion or partner for life that doesn't want to steal your money and bump you off. do to many factors, though universal, as all women and men from every country are the same, that may take some time, especially since finances and cultural differences are definitely going to play a role. if we were all percieved as millionairs in our home country, we would have the same problem here, sorting through the lasses that throw themselves at us, and their motives.
why are most of us here, a better living standard, financially, than maybe available in our own country. for myself, it is just that, finances and the availability of younger woman who will tolerate me, and, not necessarily in that order. take away a couple big expenses from the states, primarily taxes, school/real estate plus the lack for medical insurance, well for me, and i save considerable amount of money every month. and the luxuary of streamlining my medical cost to fit me, not the HMO or medicare available in states, which offers about the same care as here at 10 times the price. without those bills, and since everything else is about the same cost, or just a tad cheaper, in my opinion, as the states. i can afford to eat in restaurant everyday, take 3 month vacation at the beach every year, if i can squeeze it in. that's staying at or within walking distance of the beach, not a half mile inland at roadside hotel.
finance and younger partner for life, that doesn't make me feel old, like my peer group in states, and again, not necessarily in that order, is quite a bit of motivation to retire here.
people with john5001 opinions and mindset should simply stay a sex tourist and go to the designated areas for that. pattaya is his kind of place, probably cheaper and more available people to try to con. i love you, i will take care of you and family, then in month or so, when he is found to be a fraud, he can move on to the the next. i prefer his mindset not to disturb my living enviroment, we have enough of that already. i/we invest allot in our future retirement and speak up when necessary in an attempt to keep things the way we, and our hospitable host like it.
there are designated areas of the country for part timers, if you are not going to invest and commit to your future here, we simply suggest, go to your designated entertainment venue, as we are trying to keep udon out of that catagory, along with the element it brings with it. there is plenty here already, really don't need any more.
just my opinion.
