I have to reply to this part ... > sucking Jim dry...most Asian women have
"domestic" boyfriends"
Anytime you make a blanket statement you are usually wrong. I (being
American) married an Asian woman and have now been happily married to her
since 1999. I have traveled thrice to Asia, and met many locals. I do not
think that vast majority of Asian woman have "SCAM" on their minds. I find
my Asian wife loving, loyal and hard working, unlike many American woman.I
have met many of my wife's friends and relatives and from what I can tell
they only want a decent man they can marry for LIFE (unlike the thinking
here in US.) Usually these woman are virgins, no matter their age.
I think there are many men being suckered by woman who are "in love with
them" but it is mostly the man's naivety. I was suckered by a woman from
Oklahoma (hi Ann Shelton), so it can happen anywhere to anyone. If a man
listens to his loves cues he will know if he is being suckered. But don't
say all Asian woman are like that!
