Dear Nick,

I would want to caution you, although your desires and plans to find a desirable match are sincere, I will tell you that they do love you for your money.  If you wanted to find an honest woman here in Cambodia it will take a while.  I have been here since December of 2019.  I have had some bad experiences with the women here.  I am an American, 59 years old, and well not handsome, or thin, I am friendly and like to spend money, maybe too much, and tend to be too generous some days.

I have met Europeans, Australians, Brits, and other Americans who have been taken in by many a beautiful young lady, or older lady only to be left broke and broken-hearted.  My friend John from Australia says it best, "When you are broke, sick, and need help, will these girls help you...HELL NO!"

I met a young lady and have been through many trials with her and her family.  I gave her about $10,000 US dollars to open a restaurant and we fought about this for many months.  The restaurant opened at a bad time, October 2020, and did not make it.  I broke up with her three times this last six months as I was not really sure of her intentions.  We have argued, talked, argued, and talked many times.  We have remained friends through this trial, but all this to say, if you are looking for love...you are not assured you will find it here.

I have a job as a university professor that keeps me busy and brings in income.  I also have a retirement income monthly from my teacher's retirement in the US.  Medical costs here are high.  My plan has always been to work here for two years and then go to Thailand live and work.  Medical care in Thailand is world renowned, and inexpensive.  I worked in Thailand for two years.  I believe you would find what you desire by going to Thailand, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Chang Mai, or Bangkok.  I like Bangkok and Pattaya but would not mind going to Chang Mai or Hua Hin.

I hope you do research and make an educated decision if you come to South East Asia.

Best,

Dr. Stephen J. Ronzano

Hello.

There is not one dating site, forum or else that can give you a true idea of ladies you meet on line.

Sorry to say but most on line contacts are not reliable, or even totally fake.

Even video calls do not give you the right idea about the person you are talking to.

The only and really only reliable way to meet good ladies is to come over and be present in person.
A one hour conversation at a coffee shop gives you more information about her than 3 months on line chat.

Good luck!

Jo is right , because of the culture it’s hard for a women divorced  to find a mate, it’s also not like USA where I’m from I’ve been here 6 years , I realized one thing , nice women want a honest guy with good intentions, many girls are from the province and have great moral values, they are not going to be seen with you strolling around town eating at nice restaurants, they already see plenty of westerners who take advantage of young girls drag them around the country, give them a few hundred tell them , I’m coming back,  so they don’t want to date and have family members and friends see them on the street with you it will shame the family, it’s been my experience that the very best way to meet a nice women is meet some nice khmer man a Tuk Tuk driver, a restaurant worker, talk to him become friends, he will make sure he  will introduce  you to one of his relatives, sounds like finically your doing okay, remember ( my experience only) khmer people don’t understand money like you and I and most westerners, being rich wasn’t a dream , it was  not attainable,so therefore it’s natural they don’t have the greatest  money management experience , so I’ve been with my partner 3 years , I too am pretty comfortable financially, but I give her  a set amount , I don’t care what she does with it etc. , it’s a honer  for a wife to get her husbands pay its traditional in cambodia and Vietnam, you don’t have to mention your 401k etc, this  way it’s agreed the money thing before you establish any further relationship, most women give to their family members, i it works wonderful wonderful, met her through friend who decided I was okay, a way to a Southeast Asian women a good honest one is through her family, but don’t expect to traditional dating etc, these woman want marriage right away, personally I established that money thing and the fact that your not taking them back to the USA and live in my case , by the way it’s illegal to marry a khmer women if your a foreigner over 50, so you will just have to have a traditional ceremony, don’t expect to date around etc. just my take on it , don’t forget your a westerner you stick out , if you have had ten girlfriends the whole area will know , cuts your chances down ha , but my experience khmer women are extremely loyal family is everything,  but as they age they become more wary of men because your 60 , and she’s 45 in ten years you can still get a 20+ yearold girl ( baby to me) and she will be 55 with time invested for what, you say your not good looking I’m also not, yet I got great advice from a guy who’s been here 15 years I’m 60 I told him 50 48 is the lowest I want to go, he said find the most attractive women of that age and approach them, ones who wouldn’t even consider you , they have the most confidence and might date you , and as every country I have traveled to , 99% of the people are good hearted moral people, good luck , my thoughts only , make that clear my experience only living 3 years in Cambodia three years in Vietnam

Dear Stephen,
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable experiences.
I understand fully, and really care must be taken in dealing with women there.
I will also be trying Thailand, which is a lovely country, with a very relaxing environment. I will investigate your suggestions. I think Bangkok is very interesting, but not sure what parts are most suitable for ex-pats. I am also a university professor educated in the US.
Best wishes to you!
Cheers,

Nick

Dear Joe,
