Pete,

Sorry, I didn't mean to have a go at you!

For Thais, feet are the lowest point of the body and touching someone's feet is the ultimate sign of submission. Thai women will do it for their husbands, but I don't like it. I am sure filipinos are different!

Referring to other people's posts, if a filipino lady works full time and so cannot do as much of the housework, that does not make her a less good wife, surely?

"Filipino women are incedibly intelligent mate, much better qualified than we are in UK, they are smart, that is the majority of them, they are incedibly assertive when they know exactly what they want, and they make excellent freinds, Im not sure what your point is, about suggesting all I want is a massage."

I didn't suggest that - I really meant that surely that is not the only benefit!

"And a further reminder Ian, your not in Thailand, this forum is not about Thai women"

The thread is headed "Perks of marrying SE Asian women." I think Thailand is very firmly in SE Asia!
