I really don't blame women for playing some of these dudes out there.

I have a coworker who is married to a woman from an Asian country, he lives here and she lives over there, last time he saw her was 2 years ago. Apparently, he has been trying to bring her over here but sometimes I wonder if this "marriage" isn't just a scam

He sends her about 700 dollars/month and he is always broke, he never goes out, never does anything on weekends, just sits at home and plays video games

He stays up all night on weekends waiting for her to call, and sometimes, when she calls, she tells him that she can't talk for long because there is just too much noise in the background

Yesterday, I found out that he has not filed his taxes in 2 years because he needed some documents from her and apparently, these documents never arrive.

There is a new Asian girl in the office and apparently, this dude has told her everything about his life, how much he misses his "wife", etc.

This dude is very awkward socially, he has absolutely no game, very book smart but how the hell can a person who is supposedly "intelligent" not able to see that this whole thing does not make any sense!

I have been told by a friend that guys like these don't think they will ever be able to meet a woman in their lifetime, therefore, when they meet someone like this, they are pretty much willing to do whatever, SAD!

Nothing more pathetic and sad than a lonely man.

So let me get this straight, you're complaining about a guy you work with, who is married to someone that lives clear across world. He sends money to her, and only talks to her on the phone once a week.

The only thing I can sum it up to is jealousy.

That's because men are taught that they have to have a woman to be happy. So they'll go to any extreme to get one.

Sometimes you're better off being alone.

For the guys I know who married in Asia, $700 a month is chump change. Now the cost of divorce is a different matter!

What percent of men? Two, perhaps.

Uhm... what exactly would he be jealous about ?? His friend is a retard, plain and simple. That marriage is not a real marriage. That guy is miserable. To have a "wife" and not be able to see her for almost 2 years?? What kind of marriage is that?? It sounds like he got taken for a fool. Men like this do exist, they are the dim witted men who fork over hefty $$$ for a mail order bride from Russia only to have his "wife" move in to his home in the US, drain him financially dry, then cheat on him, divorce his butt, and leave him broke, penniless and more miserable than before...

So OP, feel good you aren't in that guys shoes. Men like that have low self esteem, and for someone to spend all their free time playing video games is also a troubling sign of a possible personality/social disorder.
