A comment about mail order brides by @Rod8432 in another thread brought to mind the below excerpt from a blog that sums up the practice IMO. Have any of you ever consider such an arrangement?
“We all know that opportunistic young Thai women have been marrying or shacking up with older Western men for decades. But the unstated agreement in these relationships is that the Western man is supposed to improve the poor girl's standard of living. The impoverished Thai woman reluctantly allows the older Western man's unsightly, wrinkled penis to enter her vagina from time to time. In exchange, the Western man moves the Thai woman to a proper Western country, or he builds her an oversized house in her home province that is the envy of all her slutty, gold-digging friends. Then she waits comfortably for him to die. That's the deal that your Thai wife or girlfriend signed up for.â€


And just exactly what is wrong with that?
