how about it - this is just a form of arranged marriage, or marrying someone for their money - no difference.

so is it wrong, creepy, socially unacceptable?

out where I live, plenty of people do it - and you can see a whole load of guys (aged around 30-70) with young 20 year old wives. Many of these are married and live together.

so what do you reckon?

some people also take the wife back home with them to Europe, US or Australia

how would you feel if your neighbors were like this?

I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm going to try it myself soon enough if i keep getting rejected the conventional way.

If you live in a culture in which married men and women act as equal partners, then it could become difficult in the long run for both the man and woman to be in a relationship that has more of a servant/served dynamic. That is, if fitting in to the social fabric of the community matters.
I'm making a broad assumption here about the kind of girl that is in a "mail order" situation . I don't actually know any.

you are quite right there, and for sure, in a lot of cases it doesn't work out too well.

however, for those that do work, what do you reckon?

I mean would you look down on it, and why would someone?

SE ASIA is disgusting. Only extreme losers hang in Thailand.

I have a condo in BKK but cant stand Thai people and would never date a thai woman.

Its disgusting: the entire farang bar girl scene.

Wouldnt bother me at all. As long as they are good neighbors, what they do in their home is their own business.
