About one mistake that men make

One unintended talk with a friend influenced me to think on this subject.

He has been married to his Filipino wife for 25 years (or more), and they have two children who are adults now.

When he appeared on our ranch without his wife, I asked him what she was doing. He told me that she was sleeping and added that above all, she likes comfort and convenience.

"But imagine," he says, "in Philippines, she lived in a hut in jungle. There wasn't even electricity there, much less conveniences such as water and waste elimination systems."

"So maybe that's the reason why she now likes comfort and convenience most of all?" I replied. "Yes," he says, "I understand that. For her, it's very important to have a large home, a comfortable bed, and other conveniences."

And that's when I thought, isn't this where the biggest mistake of men, who are guided by things other than love, occurs? By other things, I mean when men take women from other countries and think that they are used to poverty they will be happy to continue living in poor conditions. And won't complain.

But in life, everything turns out to be the other way. One who's lived in rich environment is more likely to get used to life in poverty because for him or her, it's something new and interesting. And the other way around, one who is in poverty will try his or her best to obtain the lifestyle he or she has always wanted.

Poverty, on the other hand, brings out bad memories and mental associations. For example, I know one rich man whose childhood was spent at a poor chicken farm. Nowadays, he not only can't look at a chicken farm, but also avoids eating chicken meat.

If you're lonely and are looking for love, you'll find it. But if you're looking for a wife from a poor country just because she's used to poverty, your plans will fail.
