    Their diet is generally pretty awful....lots of junk food, but of course there are many exceptions to the rule. Particularly in the outer parts, where the diet is simple. I hope you have found a good one, YD.
    My comments are usually 12-24 hrs. after...., as the thread evolves,...etc....

    Anyway, I place Filipino cuisine on the same quality level as sub-Sahara African cuisine;....very basic, at best.

    Butt davis know-all-tn (undoubtedly) is more readily placated,...especially in the Pinoy regard,...for whatever unfathomable reason..., duh!

    Now,.....regarding authentic Thai cuisine, a quick trip to Europe (i.e.- Belgium, France, Holland) , or North America (i.e. - NYC, LA, Houston or Toronto) will definitely inspire a change of attitude, on your part, LD. Guaranteed....

    Some fine wines around stellenbosch if my memory serves me. Best get them before the farmland is redistributed otherwise you'll be lucky to see a grape if Zimbabwe is anything to go buy.

    An interesting observation from Miss Katie.

    That is one of the more obscure theories on the evolution of the male parenting instinct.

    We are unusual apes in that men invest a lot in parenting effort.

    The obvious theory is that male parental investment returns direct genetic dividends through offspring welfare.

    Another theory is that pair bonds did not last for life but only for a few years and that women likely had a series of partners through their lives.

    90% of women being courted for sexual partnership would almost certainly already have some kids and one of the ways in which a male could form a lasting sexual bond was through ingratiating himself with the existing kids.

    Thus male parental care could have evolved as a means of getting the good stuff from a lady who has already been around the block at least once.

    ^ I don't want to discuss about evolution now, loopy dahling. Too tedious for a Friday night!

    My comment was based on my observations around me. I have some friends & colleagues who are single moms. Usually the child was a product of a romance in their teens or early 20s. Most of the dads (in the aforementioned relationships) are deadbeat dads who have disappeared and do not contribute emotionally or financially to the upbringing of the kid(s).

    The single moms that I know do their best to work decently and provide for their kid(s). I even know of a single mom (sister of a colleague) who didn't get treatment for breast cancer due to that. Here, cancer treatment is costly esp if you don't have insurance. The family of the woman found out about the cancer when it was Stage 4 already and couldn't be hidden. Remember the news story about the Thai woman who had breast cancer and bandages were wrapped around her chest? Kinda similar to that, based on my colleague's description. We (colleague and I) thought that it progressed to Stage 4 without treatment bcos she didn't want to spend money on herself and instead spent for her kids' education. Two of her kids have graduated from college now, so the two graduates are now helping to support the one who's still in high school, as their mom is now home and wheelchair bound.

    Long story short, most single moms that I know would give their lives for their kids.

    Sorry for the thread derail. Carry on...

    A completely different forum, not sure I could name it without receiving a letter from his lawyers. As I said, he had his account deleted, so there's nothing to see there anyway.

    Oops! Sorry about that last sentence on post#127 LD. I was in a hurry and didn't read all of your post, before responding. My bad. You did state that there are many exceptions to the rule. Again,...sorry sir. I meant no offense. Cheers.

    Maybe it's because the farangs just can't help themselves. I think when a farang falls in love with a Thai woman he falls bigtime. They fall so quick that they just can't see the wood for the trees. I had been hinting to a guy for nigh on 2 years about his lady(?) but he just wouldn't click. He was no idiot and had a very responsible job. Right from the start he kept asking questions about her and the things she wanted from him. He built/bought her a house, land, SUV, farm machinery etc. The list goes on.
    Anyways he turns up at my place tuther day and asked if I could take him to the bus station as he was going home. At last he'd seen the light. Not a problem for me to help him do a runner. I asked what about the motorcycle he turned up on? He asked if he could leave it at my house. Okay not a problem. But what should I do with it after I get back from the bus station. The bike was in his name and he paid for it. He asked me to get his ex to come and collect it. I says 'give her fcuk all'. He replied 'but I want her to have it'.
    It really isn't the women that's at fault. It's the dumb arse farangs that make them the way they are. In a few months time she'll have another farang and around and around we go.

    I'd have handed the bike and keys over to the nearest motocy taxi blokes for 2000 baht after he'd left

    Is your friend, or was he, so wealthy that he will come back, find another and repeat the exercise? A year back home doing some research/selection process and then another 2 year scheme, or longer if it worked out, to assist a another loving Thai female. Does he feel guilty of some bad mistake?

    Some are it seems.

    He'll be home on Tinder, Thaifriendly or ThaiCupid already, planning his next trip to meet his ''normal'' or ''good girl''
    Sadly he'll likely fall for one of the looser knickered types, who are playing several men. He won't be aware as he's just been imprisoned in a relationship, so he'll be a few years behind the times.

    That's what I'd like to have done but my missus is scared of the woman's family. It can rot in my garden for all I care.

    Wealthy yes. I asked if he'd be back and it was a loud 'NEVER'. Yes, I think he feels guilty in that he said he wasn't looking forward to facing his friends who told him exactly what would happen. But him being the clever cloggs knew better

    That's exactly the woman who's just dumped him.

    May as well tell yous the reason how he came to his senses being as I'm sure he doesn't read this forum. Keeping it short. He built the house and much more. A road in and TOT line etc. She then moves her family in, daughter, grand daughter, son and their friends. She wouldn't clean the house, do his washing buy his food etc. Everytime he spoke of her failings he'd make an excuse as to why accepted it. Anyways he came home one evening with noodles for his tea. He left the food on the table whilst he went to the bog. Came back and the daughter had eaten his dinner. He hit the roof verbally with the daughter to which his missus ran into the kitchen, got a knife and tried to stab him. He called the police but they weren't bothered. That's when he saw the light and vacated.
    Although he said 'NEVER' to coming back I have my doubts, and if he does he'll go straight back to her.
