THAILAND ROMANCE TOURS

Dear Reader:

Here is our mission statement, why we started this company, why we are so different. so special and so unique.

AT 53 and never married, I was a confirmed bachelor. I thought and felt I probably would never marry. Using american women as my standard, I purposely set the bar so high that I was fairly assured marriage was not going to be in my future. I did this because I watched all my high school and college buddies fail thru numerous marriages and divorces. Everyone of my past friends had been married and divorced at least one time. In my 40's I was so abnormal in the dating world, I used to lie about not ever being married. When I told them I was single and never married, it was the death blow to my dating american women. They would hit the door running. They were convinced there was seriously something wrong with me. A career confirmed bachelor, there is no way they would date me. At that point in my life I should have been married and divorced at least one time. As far as something being wrong with me, I was convinced I was on the right path by remaining single. Why do I have to go down the same path as all my buddies. I could just sit back and watch them make the mistakes. I could just read the book they were writing. I did not have to live the life. It wasn't like I was inexperienced or did not have the opportunity to marry. I had dated hundreds of women in my life. Then at 53 I met my future wife. She was different. She was asian. I knew right from the beginning she was different from anyone I had dated up to that point.

As far as fishing out of the local pond, I had decided to pretty much throw in the towel on dating. In the last 3 years from age 50 - 53 I had decided to go to mexico to search for my future wife. Most american women I had dated were very self centered, spoiled, lived in a me me me world and had an attitude of what have you done for me lately. It seemed that no matter what I did it was never good enough. I dated more daddy little princess or wanna be daddy little princess than I had my share of. Daddy had done a very good job of spoiling them and now it was my turn.

It was obvious that compared to the men in our society, the women were on a pedistal, and why not. We put them there. We created our future our destiny with american women.

I was taught at an early age to "provide, protect, appreciate and respect women. And like a good ole american boy, I did just that. In doing so I tended like so many other american guys to place the women on a pedistal. What made me different from my friends was that I just did not marry them. So, at the age of 50 I decided to switch ponds and travel back and forth to mexico. I wanted to find a really nice mexico woman with family values and who had not been spoilde by american values and materialistic thinking. But there was a large problem with mexico women. They tended to get large, that was the problem. And a larger woman just does not work for me. I like a more slender woman physically. When I met my future wife she was 28 and I was 53. It was not just the outside I was attracted to. I liked her thinking and her values. In her country and culture as far as being put on a pedistal, it was the men not the women.

I would say at least 95% of the time in a mixed culture marriage, it will be and american man with an asian woman. For the most part they both tend to place each other above themselves. Yes, there are expceptions but this tends to be the case based on how they were raised growing up as children. Anyway back to my wife, after being a confirmed bachelor up until the age of 53, within 3 months of meeting my wife, I married her. That was over 8 years ago and my life has been wonderful ever since. We have a wonderful marriage and a beautiful amer-asian daughter who is the love of your life.

I am living the american dream with a woman from ouside of our american culture. I believe we are outsourcing much more than our jobs. As a country we are also outsourcing our men. They are going out into 2nd and 3rd world countries and marrying the women. They are doing this because many men are disappointed with their options here in america. However here is the catch 22. Many of these women are very pretty on the outside and beautiful on the inside. But, the men are sex tourist. They are only there to take advantage of the women for sex. So, as soon as they step off the plane they are labeled as sex tourist. This is a very hard image to shake off since this is probably true in at least 90 percent of the male tourist who come to Thailand. They come to Thailand, leave a trail of broken hearts, and sometimes babies. So, the good women will not associate with them. If the men are there for marriage or not, visitors to Thailand tend to cater or get pulled into the red light districts or towns ( Bangkok Pat Pong , Soi Cowboy and Nana, Phuket and Pattaya ) They feel they can be the True Butterfly going from flower to flower and never going back to the same girl and never falling in love. But very few survive this gaunlet without losing their heart to a sex working thai girl. If he is a Sex Tourist ok no problem. He is out for sex and she is out for money. It's a match. They are made for each other.
For me, the problem comes up when he is a good guy and truly searching for a wife and life companion, or, she is a good woman and really looking for a good loving husband. He does not deserve a woman who is only after his money. She does not deserve a sex tourist who is only interested in sex and lieing to her about marriage. Of course when this Mission started these thoughts were not in my mind.

When I married my wife I had promised her I go to Malaysia to pay a visit to her family. I had two very close friends Larry and Tony who both when they met my wife said " if you can find me a wife like your wife we are ready for marriage " We said Ok no problem, just go to Malaysia. Their response was since we are planning a trip back to Malaysia. " you go look for a wife for us " We said OK no problem. " When we go to Malaysia we will find you a wife " My wife and I did not know it at the time, but this was the statement that sealed our fate and created what turned out to be Thailand Romance Tours.

When my wife got back to Malaysia, she was very happy to see her loving family but was disappointed with Malaysia. Like Singapore, ( but not as bad ), they had bought into madison avenue marketing the stairway to heaven path thru material gains. It is a total BS trip designed only to pad the pockets of the rich and side track the poor into thinking consumption and marterial gain is the road to happiness. Progress was taking its toll on the population and the beast of gaining material goods in the peoples search for happiness was being fed.

In Singapore it got so bad that the birth rate is in the minus category. The majority of married couples do not have children. They just live to work and consume. The malay were still stongly tied into family values but they are muslim and require the man to convert. So, this caused us to forget about searching and helping my friends Tony and Larry. To us, Malaysia was not the place to search for a wife. So, we gave up our search. After 3 weeks in Malaysia and meeting my wife family and friends, my wife's sister booked us a flight to Thailand and the island of Koh Sumui. Before we got out of the Sumui Airport we saw 3 women that Larry and Tony would have loved to have for a wife. The search was back on but now instead of Malaysia it was Thailand.

My wife big dream was to buy beach home on the east coast of Malaysia. But, while she was gone to America, the local province voted muslim state goverment PAS to control the province (state). So me living in Malaysia on a secluded beach was probably not a good idea. We decided it might not be user friendly so we put the beach home dream aside. So, our trip to the islands of Thailand had a dual purpose. We wanted to visit Thailand and to keep the dream alive of buying beach land. While walking on a beach and deciding to both get a massage, we heard the same story for the third time from a thai woman. Basically that the thai women were disappointed with thai men and if we could find her a husband like me, she would be open to marriage and living outside of Thailand. At this point I heard the words come out of my mouth that sealed our fate.

" I live in a country full of good men. I will go back, get them and bring them back to Thailand "

At that point it was a combination of shock and silence on my wifes face. What happened to the dream of buying beach land. POOF.. it was gone in a second. Now I had to decide, do I live up to my statement, or forget what I said and go back to searching for beach land. The selfish thing to do was to go back to our beach search. I was 55 and ready for beach life retirement. Another career at this point in my life was not in the picture and farthest from my mind. But, while in Thailand for only 2 days, I was seeing this search for a life companion for my friends, was getting to be much bigger than just Larry and Tony. I found myself falling in love with Thailand and wanting to help the Thai women. My wife and I went back to Malaysia and for 3 days discussed what we were going to do. My business at the time was across the street from my home, a five second walk. I opened my front door and there was my business. The business was a yell or stones throw away. Now I am talking closing down my business and starting a new business half way around the world This was a very risky venture to say the least. From the beginning this Mission was a mission of the heart. Money had nothing to do with my decision to become a cupid. We were just trying to help my friends.

We went back to Malaysia to sit down and plan how we were going to run this company. We decided we had to personally meet the women and the men. To make sure they were good men and good women. We researched the dating sites and decided it was a great way to make tons of money for the big internet dating sites, but they were doing it all wrong. Without personally meeting and screening the men and women, everyone was thrown into the mix, the sheep and the wolves. There was no protection and no one seemed to care. Here is why we are different. Our company started out a " Mission of the Heart " and we have never lost our path. It was never about the money but about helping our friends in America and our new friends in Thailand.

Here is why we are Special. No one else in the dating introduction service goes flys half way around the world and goes into the thai community cities, towns and villages to meet, interview and recruit women right off the job. We are documenting they are good women with good careers by meeting most of our women right on the job. We are unique because was are the only introduction service that tries our best to work only with good men and good women. sex tourist men and sex worker women are not allowed on our tours.
We are also not interested in the new breed of Internet Gold Diggers.

We try our very best to not only introduce good men and good women but to also try to protect them from bad men and bad women. We are truly a mom and pop cupid service. We are also very knowledgable, experienced and have your best interst at heart.

We have 35 marriages and only 1 divorce from the couples I have introduced and encouraged to marry. That is above a 96% success rate.

This is our Mission. If you are a good guy and searching for your wife and life companion. You are welcome to come aboard.
