Why Do Older Australian Men Marry Young Asian Girls?
I always wondered why a 60 year old usually white Australian feels the need to travel overseas for a bride? Especially one who is old enough to be his daughter?
I know that Asian women or girls are very subserviant and work hard,but i was shopping recently and saw a young girl maybe early 20's with a man old enough to be his granddaughter never mind daughter,she looked very sad,he was smiling like the cat who got the cream!
Australian women his own age not good enough,not as easy to walk over as a poor Asian girl,I have researched a few articles and what i found was very interesting,considering this is a seniors forum anyway.
This is a New York Times Article.
Girls, be careful, somebody's going 'round, snatching up our men. And that somebody is Thailand.
The New York Times ran a horrifically disturbing story on the phenomenon of creepy old retired white dudes flocking to the country's Isaan region. Apparently, more and more American men are moving to there to acquire young Thai wives and McThaiMansions.
Time was, men used to send away for wives in foreign countries or bring them back to the States, but now some old, pensioned boomers are choosing to go live abroad in their wives' native lands instead. The result is a sort of expatriate village -- you know, like in "The Beach," but racist and creepier.
The women "like it" because they don't have to work anymore and they get a house and car. The men like it because, as twice-divorced retired naval officer and "imported husband" Joseph Davis put it, "Thai women are a lot like women in America were 50 years ago."
Apparently it's a real pain in the butt for men that we recognize ourselves as equals in America and are "strong-headed and opinionated." Don't get us started on the 63-year-old retired math teacher that the article mentions (WE KNEW IT! WE KNEW IT, HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHERS!) whose three-decades-younger wife doesn't speak English. But get this: They both love hamburgers.
Fortunately, not all of the article was so romantic, because we probably couldn't handle any more swooning. One impoverished Thai woman told the Times she didn't think she could marry just for money, and that love gets her through life's hardships. She's obviously never experienced the joy of making out with a 63-year-old retired math teacher.
I know Asian women married to Aussies.
Without exception, they are strong and intelligent women, of independent thought.
No way could they have been coerced into any marriage, and certainly not for the reasons above.
