    I saw the 2 threads form him, combined the attitude that I noticed in both threads and replied based on my perception.

    Ofcourse I could be wrong, but I dont seem to like the cut of this guys jib.

    Six 100% expat couples that I know - 1) male - divorced his wife while in HK and now going out with Korean; 2) male - moved the family back home when 4Y contract expired and could not get another job here; 3) female - been in HK for a long time, still married; 4) male - was in HK a long time, went to UK, got married and now back in HK probably to stay; 5) male - lived in HK and Singapore for over decade and still married.; 6) male - came out here with wife after college and never left, still married.

    Your guess would be wrong in my case and many of my friends cases. You are making generalizations without much basis.
    Where are you getting this stuff from?
    I specifically said that these are merely my unscientific observations. So yes, they are generalizations and they are without basis. What is your point?

    I've been living here for 19 years, Mr. Elle arrived here 12 years ago. We've met and got married in Hong Kong and have no plans leaving here anytime soon.

    I think you've already got my point; your observations, while correct relative to your eyes are IMO incorrect.

    Me ; 18 years, wife 25years - met and married here, now raising 3 lovely kids and we have no plans on leaving.
