Not really as you've selectively cut and quoted the full actual post I made.

It was you that defined traditional values as being male dominated MrP not me
and your own poll shows that overwhelmingly men coming here want PARTNERSHIP
I agree they do not want to be dominated by femi nazis as you call them but in my experience the main reason they come here is because getting another partner in their own countries is just not easy.
The younger women just do not want them and women of their own age are only interested in their new found freedom from tyranny not all men are milk and honey to live with.
As for the myth of Thai men sitting drinking all day while the wife works that is such BS its unreal.
Of course all english men are sitting in ladbrokes next to the pub all day blowing the weekly GIRO is just as much a myth. Funnily enough i watched that behaviour directly across the road from my flat in Fulham for years
But the second myth doesnt feed our egos that we are better than Thai men

your words MrP
he is sat drinking with the lads, then I would say patriarchal. If she is selling her finest asset to buy mag wheels for his truck or pay his gambling debts

I have noticed two contradictory opinions in the thread.
1. If the Thai lady has spent time in your home country she will be more understanding of the cultural differences and this will help the relationship.
2. It is better if this does not happen,she will remain 100% Thai and although this has its problems at least it can be forecasted, while the stay in your own country will introduce her to alien attitudes and make things confusing..

It is a known risk that when Russian and Ukrainian wives arrive in western countries they start out fine. Then they get a tad lonely for other Russians and that's when the problems start. They start to realize all they have to do is become pregnant and they get the house, the car, the kids, maintenance and child support. A couple of years and there's no more need to stay with the fat old git and his Bobby Charlton.

Hence the reason why some men stay in the woman's home country where stiff competition reduces such risks.

I am delighted if this offends the politically correct. :naughty:

Topics do wander and I was responding to the previous poster who has the intelligence to understand the point being made.

I don't have experience of seeing Thai brides behaviour back home but I have seen Russians and Ukrainians, which I used to make the point that 'traditional' wives, Thai or otherwise, might be submissive in their own country but can adopt local ideas of 'equality' abroad.

If that unnecessary explanation doesn't satisfy you, then please adopt the following steps...

^ I tried that but I still had to read most of your posts as they were quoted by other people while making fun of them... :neener:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Basher 'noise' infects every forum. They need to pump up their chests and howl futilely at the moon. I think it's small penis syndrome.

They never learn.

I agree with you there Mr Plum.

Keep up the good, interesting posts. It would be a very dull forum without people like yourself posting.

Have a nice evening.
I actually enjoy reading some of your rubbish, it can be entertaining and surprise surprise, I can fully understand the point you were trying to make, just commenting about your significant drift from the original thread.

Anyway I did have a nice evening and now time for some zzzzzz's

Found this online.

The Thais have a saying about marriage: "The man leads with the front legs, but the wife drives it with the back legs."

I wasn't going to get involved in this thread, but I must say, I have found it quite entertaining. :D

Personally I think the word "boss" applies more to the workplace than it does to one's home/family. I have supported/encouraged my wife in all she has set out to do. I have never pushed her or even made "suggestions" because I don't think it would yield "true" results. It has to come from her, and in the case of my wife, it did.

She wanted to get stuck in and complete her schooling, so she did, and on her own steam as well. She wanted to further her education, and so she did, again with no help from me. She has since gone on to have a good job that pays very well, and if I were to drop dead in the morning, she is more than capable of looking after herself and our kids without any assistance whatsoever.

Sure, this has come at a price (at least for me) because we don't spend as much time together as we once did, but I am quite a bit older than her and will almost certainly be dead long before her. Tying her down to be by my side 24/7 would be, in my opinion, very selfish.

If she wants a stable and secure career, then that is her choice entirely. She is still a "woman" and likes doing "woman" things, including "woman" chores. Then again, I also do "woman" chores. :shock: In fact, I do both husband and wife chores. I clean; I take kids to school and pick them up; I regularly cook; etc; etc; etc.


And, for those who think all Thai men never do "woman" chores, I hate to tell you this, but you are very very wrong. Many Thai husbands help with basic chores like washing dishes and etc. My FIL is just one example. He has no problem cleaning up in the kitchen, and if MIL isn't here, he'll gladly sit and scrub his own clothes as well as make food.


Don't forget, a lot of Thai men are very different when they're at home compared to when they're in the company of friends.


Now, I could go into more detail, but I think we'd need to start a thread in night crawlers for that. :laugh: :laugh:
