way to go to ad hominem when someone tries to explain the situation
she 100% knows and knew that would be the situation she was getting involved in
i definitely agree it was in poor taste as i said in the other thread a few days back

i think mike initially started posting in order to draw in more clients and then a loneliness factor caused him to treat the normalized behavior of asian men (where they are quite open and not shameful about their female exploits) a bit more publicly than they would do - then judging by his bar girl videos on youtube got a lot more views than the other videos (his yt channel still up) he then figured that was also a good way to get attention to attract clients
it was weird he took it to the point of posting publicly to strangers, especially hosting a youtube channel with his business name that his wife could discover in 5 minutes but nevertheless the behavior itself was pretty standard and that stuff aside, he did seem like a very nice and helpful guy
he was someone i exchanged a few pms with over the years, defintely one of the people on my list of people i'd reach out to in order to get a dinner and a drink with if we were ever in the same town (never did though), it's really disappointing and saddening to see what he's done
having said that, with so many victims for so much money, he'll surely suffer some pain from this, surely nobody ever googling his name in the future won't see stories of him scamming people for the rest of his life
but you're also ignoring that concepts of marriage and love are very different over there - it's super common for spouses to live in separate cities and the kids to be raised by grandparents, marriage for love is fairly uncommon in asia and usually exclusive to the subsistence wage class
it's also why a lot of educated and career driven women in asia often don't marry because they won't put up with that treatment yet won't settle for a peasant farmer who would be faithful
stop yelling at clouds and calling people names when you have no idea what its like in some parts of the world and would rather believe all cultures are inherently the same once you remove language barriers and differences in food
