I have been living in Thailand for a lot of years. I hate living alone and was actually looking for a Thai wife. It took me ten years to find the right one. I went through gamblers, drunks, dopers, air heads and one mercenary type who had never been in a bar in her life. I lived with six of them and none worked out for one reason or another. I had a female friend who I became good friends with. She was too old and besides that she wouldn't go out with me.
When I first arrived here to work, one of the Thai engineers told me that the ideal age for a wife is half your age plus seven years. It finally dawned on me that my Thai female friend was exactly that age and she had no vices that were obvious. She is quite independent, never had children and isn't the jealous type at all. After she decided that I was serious she finally moved in with me. There was no raging love affair or wild monkey sex. There was just a comfortable feeling and a great deal of contentment. After about a year and a half of living together we got married. I ended up with just what I wanted in a woman. Her major fault is that she knows everything and even though she is normally right, it still irritates me. She asks me about things and than does it her way. She is a genuine cheap Sheila and is irritated if I waste money. I always pay too much for everything. I paid no sin sot and live in her house. I collect rent from my condo. Life is good.
It really just comes down that you have to think with the big head and then decide whether your choice is logical and practical.
