LOVE
BACK TO LOVE:
I use a Beatles song to make my point: "Money can't buy me love." This is the cruz of the "problem." Western men want a woman to love them "for themselves. for who they are." "I don't care to much for money, money can't buy me love." In western culture it's mostly true, unless you're really, really rich. Young pretty western women won't give us a secong look. Not so Thai young women.
Lucky for most expats Thai version of the song is, "I don't care to much for how old you are, what you look like, if you got money you can have my love." That's how you explain pretty young Thai ladies with fat, old, ugly expats: money bought their love.
Some would ask, "is it true love?" I answer, what's true love? does it matter? each party gets what they want. Us old fart expats get what we want: sex and a partner who cooks, cleans, and takes care of us when we get sick. The lady gets security for herself, her children and parents, and a standard of living unreachable by 95% of Thai women.
I've heard old expats say "she only loves me for my money." I say how lucky you are cause there is little else about you that is loveable. Her "love" is probably the best value you ever got for your money.
What say you Charlesh?

Love of what kind, you ask. Love is individual and basede on each persons culture. In the case of love Thai and Western cultures are diametrically opposed.charlesh wrote:You need to be more specific HHS ! Love of what kind? I thought I fell in love (of a kind) every time I walked about the bar area in HH and then realised it was an illusion that was clouded by bon homie, self indulgence (like a boy in a cake shop no less) which could be readily realised by a full wallet. But boy can you have some fun.
Have to agree with you however that the LOS is indeed hypnotic to the senses.

The devil made me do it the first time.
The second time I did it on my own.
When I finally got to the land of milk and honey, the milkman shot me
Happy wife, Happy life!

I will keep an eye out for a large panda surrounded by lovelies next time I do the Binta tour - that's if I'm not too distracted.
Do you think i;m wrong? what is your experience Charlesh????

Hey guys. Love or lust? Who cares
At the end of the day there is one person to love. YOURSELF!!!!!
If you are happy with what you have got in life what matters more?

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

A gentleman dose not tell HHS.
Unfortunately Richard my mirror busted a long time ago and I can now reveal that Dorian Grey is alive and well.
Seriously (if one can be) you both are well tuned in and I don't expect many blokes would have read a Barbara Cartland novel either ha, ha and come to grips with their feminine side although 1 of those sois in HH seems to judging by the exotic attire. I wasn't really looking!!!!!
