If you were considering the prospect of taking a BG out of the scene, would you not want to have some measure (reassurance) of what the odds were that it would last? Perhaps the sub-text is: "If I were to move to LOS would I be wasting my time starting relationships with BGs or should I put more effort into meeting/wooing so-called 'good-girls'?"
Plus it was just an open enquiry - folks don't have to answer: It's not like he has you in a head-lock or anything...

Exactly so! As I said originally, it was asked in a completely non-judgemental way. Of course I have been to Thailand many times but don't live there( a bit of a dumb comment by someone- "why don't you go and find out for yourself") and have talked to many BGs over the years and occasionally you come across one and can't help but wonder about forming a long-term relationship with her but what are the chances of it lasting? If the answer to my original question( and a simple rough percentage number would have done) is low, would she be looked down on by other farangs and their non-BG wives/GFs?
I am sorry if this thread has touched a raw nerve, especially with Stevem as I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of trips ago( not that he will remember!), but it only comes about from the niceness of a lot of BGs and my desire to one day live in LOS.
