As unkind as it might sound, have you noticed that the majority of men that marry foreign women are not exactly what one would call 'a catch'. Those that I have known have been in some way socially incompetent (that's not necessarily a bad thing) and out of tune with either their bodies, their male counterparts, social situations or a combination of each of these; a marked lack of confidence being the general trait.

Perhaps, the warmth and less judgmental reception received from the first woman - who just happens to be from warmer climes - is their perceived only chance at happiness. Who cares that her motivations might be less than honourable - a free pass to the UK, for example.

Having lived in a country where I have seen women treat white men (however ugly or depraved) as gods, it is not incredulous to witness the union of low self esteem.

I know that this is a sweeping generalisation and there are confident, handsome, high achievers who have found their life partners in a foreign land and have made successful marriages. I also understand why some men would point-blank refuse to entertain a relationship with a British woman.

My main point is that in analysing this subject, the onus should not be concentrated on the women. Perhaps, more focus should be directed at the men - in particular those that actively seek women abroad - and what drives them to foreign love.
I'll have to admit Pluto, I'm not really a wild and ruthless mercenary, a trained hardened killer, hands stained with the blood of a hundred deaths. That was just a joke. I'm really just a fat, balding old sales rep who couldn't get laid in the UK because of my speech impediment and chronic halitosis. I have no friends, have callouses on my right hand, and can't even speak to a white women without feeling giddy and nauseous.

Buying love in the $hit holes and short time bars of Subic Bay has been my only sexual release in decades. Who cares if they loves me, if I can get laid once a week that's love enough for me :wub: :wub: They're happy, I'm happy, who is going to psychoanalyze and say it's not right???

I'd love to star in a channel four documentaryabout losers and lust. I could show you all the best short time bars in Luzon. Joe Public needs to know that there is more to life than a Saturday night in the pub, a shag with the lights off and two weeks a year in Corfu. Life is not a rehearsal.
