So where is there good wife material that isn't after a free meal ticket or a Western passport to be found rather easily, in the Philipines or in Thailand or in Japan or in South Korea, or where other than those countries?
You need to stick to Western women, particularly Australians ones!

You say, stick to Australian women or Western women at a pinch; the problem with that is getting one of those women to accept you. Most FT's who look for women in Asia, find the need to look for women in Asia because their own country women simply will not give them the time of day; that's the truth ,and I include myself in that herd of men unable to compete back home. I'm afraid that if you go out without much money in your purse (and I'm not actually talking about money) you are going to get back home with shoddy goods- I'm afraid you'll have to try and patch those goods up-bit of glue here, bit of tape there. If you are enable to get that Bondi Beach beauty because you do not have what it takes, you are simply not going to land that wealthy loyal Chinese wife who will pay for her own noodles-and it doesn't matter how much money you have yourself. We should all accept our own limitations.
