” Yet a Western man of even modest means can go to the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and similar countries and be treated like a movie star, no matter his looks, age, education or physicality. Life isn’t fair, I guess.”
Fact
My 2nd wife is Filipina. In that country you can’t help but notice how different the women are over there. Here are just some of the big things I noticed.
1) They are more pretty as a group of women than Americans. Longer hair and less fat especially.
2) They are modest. You can find good time girls there. But you can also find women who are both drop dead gorgeous and who don’t act like bimbos.
3) They are more chaste. If you want a virgin bride, it’s not far fetched to say you can get one over there. And she doesn’t have to be young. Even at age 30+, still virgins in large numbers.
4) They are respectful to men.
5) They (both sexes here) appear happier than Americans. This despite crushing poverty.
Their culture isn’t perfect and I wouldn’t say it’s superior to ours. But if you want a wife, you can definitely find a nice one there. The downside is knowing she is marrying you for love and not a better life. I’m sure the money aspect can never be eliminated. So you are going to be liked more simply for being a foreigner. Knowing that she also loves you for you, is the risk going over there.
