Would you let your husband move 2 months ahead of family?

do your stats involve interviewing all of the foreigners to determine if:
A - they are in a relationship
B - if the person you witness them with is their partner


if no:

Don't need stats. It's an opinion of what I have witnessed.

Next time I'll go to Wan Chai and LKF and ask all the sleazy expats to raise their hands so Mat can have his stats.

But you do realise that this a very tiny % of the expat population living in HK, do you?

In total there are over 100.000 "white foreigners from Europe/US/Aus" (I assume this is what you mean by expats), on any given weekend, how many are hanging out in LKF./Wan Chai (were a LOT of tourist hang out)?

And out of this %, how many are married and how many are married and f*ck around?

See that's the problem with generalisation, it creates fear (the case of the OP) when there is no real need for fear.

Instead of doing the hand-raising thing in LKF/Wanchai, try instead a different venue such as DB boat full of ppl with their kids or an English speaking church.

Depending on where *you* hang out, your surrounds will be of different type and caliber.

My main purpose was to make the OP worry a bit just to know what situation she maybe getting herself into by moving to HK. If I did that my mission has been accomplished. I'm just stirring up shit because this board is getting boring and many of you come out with these serious posts about statistics which makes me laugh. Bottom line if the OP has a solid relationship with her husband no problem, but if she doesn't she should start worrying.

confused, I am.
You say most expat men are all cheaters in Asia. This is because of your stats (eyes and ears). But your only evidence is to point out Wanchai and LKF frequenters? On top of that, you have no idea if these expats are tourists, single, or maybe even dating the girl on their arms.

Who knows, maybe the other guys seeing you in Wanchai are coming to the same conclusions about you.

I know if they are single or married because I'm psychic. I studied under the great psychic John Edwards lol

No I'm a commy lol. I'm actually a Libertarian.

I think it could also be a good thing no? Much less stress for you and the kids if you can just arrive and go straight into a home etc. And they do say, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I know there is this idea that most men cheat in HK and how most women are gold diggers and stuff, but only you can decide whether your guy is the sort to fall into the dark side or the good side.
