Re: Financial Implications of Marrying an Asian Lady
I know quite a number of guys who got married in the Philippines and brought their wives back to the Bay Area (the company I worked for had quite a large operation there). Only a couple of them are still married. Evidently there is quite a Philippina community in San Francisco, and that community seems to have a lot more allure than a middle aged guy does. But that's not a reason not to give it a try. The guys who are still married appear to be very happy, and for the ones who got ditched it was all over in a matter of months. So you're not likely to make yourself miserable for life by giving it a try...only for a couple of months.

Same here, my company sent a lot of us overseas to Australia. For some reason, very few married Aussies but a high percentage married Asian women.
Hard to figure. Most are still married and the women really seem to enjoy getting there own business going. That way they can send their own money home.

Money & citizenship. You have it, they want it.
Nords, I hope nothing important fell off.

One of our younger sailors discovered that if you're looking for love in all the wrong places, it can be treated with a topical cream applied to one's eyes. But this was back in the days when it was only a UCMJ offense if you failed to seek treatment for a venereal disease. I'm told that now even the act of looking, so to speak, is pursued under the UCMJ in order to prevent trafficking in humans.
No, I didn't want to know all that either.

Eyes? Does my surprise reflect on my ignorance of medicine, or of unusual sexual practices?

In my case, both.
It looked like a case of conjunctivitis, only worse. He was actually off the watchbill on bed rest for three days, which oddly enough on a submarine is even more tortuous than port&stbd watchstanding.

Re: Financial Implications of Marrying an Asian Lady
While more Japanese and Chinese couples are tying the knot in Japan than ever before -- some 12,000 married in 2004 -- divorce rates are skyrocketing, with one in three Sino-Japanese marital unions ending in failure.
"There're absolutely loads of guys, particularly in the country, who turn to Chinese women because Japanese women wouldn't look at them. Often these guys are being pressured by their parents to hurry up and get married and the guys respond by doing so at the first chance they get, for reasons like wanting to hurry up and produce a grandchild for their parents, or to produce a son of their own to take over the family business. That's why you get 'Well, I've got the money, so I'll buy myself a Chinese bride' mentality," a member of a matchmaking club arranging international marriages tells Spa! "If they're thinking like that, there's no way the marriage could possibly work. But then, when the marriage fails, the guys blame the brokers for finding someone who wasn't right for them."

And I still wonder how OAP stumbled across an obscure former Japanese TV star. Plus Stanley Clarke and Billy Cobham. Is he holographically spying on my life from the future?

Re: Financial Implications of Marrying an Asian Lady
Bpp,
it only get's worse. Go to Catalina Ave/Ave B, in Redondo Beach and ask Mr. BJ (BJ's is his store name) what tipple of choice does Kik drink. He'll remember. In the 80's' I was a well know "hep-cat" down that way.
Got my fetish for Vivian living at Ocean Gate Towers and spending many nights with two Japanese stewardesses (JAL). Short skirts, tight thighs, I don't even know the reasons why.. The come a running just as fast as they can..

Well, those chicks look a little under-ripe to me, too.* Getting nervous just looking at those pictures....jail bait.....where you might experience a new adventure! ("No Tyrone, I said I was bilingual , that means something different! No!").* * *
