Now this is a chuckle if ever I have seen one. There are tons of Aussies marrying Thai, Indonesian and Filipino women in Aus, and not the first or second generation immigrants either. They are finding these women in their own home countries.
Very often its the older guys, 40-55 who have been ass raped in the divorce courts and dont want to deal with an Aussie bird again. You see them walking around all over the place hand in hand with younger Asian women, often with a pram or young children.
Now you can imagine this pisses off the local women no end. They accuse them of being sex tourists, predators, losers, you name it. There is the constant shaming about the abuse these women must suffer at the hands of these guys who "are such losers that they could not get local woman to marry them". There are also more and more men admitting that their wives are taking abuse directly from Aussie women too. Who would think all these strong, independent Australian women could be so threatened by silly little Asian farm girls?
Who would have thought though that Sweden, SWEDEN, would now be home to the most foreign Thai brides in the world? The response to it is funny as fuck, because you can see how the local woman are now clamoring for laws that prevent men from taking foreign wives. I thought it would be Australia, but its a cold, North European country 20 bazillion miles from Thailand instead.

This is a sign of things to come, and I am seeing it in my own backyard too.
Older men who have been burned are no longer the idealistic chumps that they used to be, and they are going foreign if they decide to remarry. These are guys with money who have had a chance to travel, or they have just been exposed to many of these women who are immigrants here already.
Younger guys are already jaded, and many are working offshore now or in FIFO jobs, so they are travelling far more than the average Aussie did 15 years ago. Many of these guys are being exposed to foreign women at a younger age on the company dime, much like I was when I was younger.
The local women are starting to feel threatened by this. Not only are men already forgoing marriage in droves, the ones who are marriage minded are looking abroad instead. So women are having to compete not only with each other, they are having to compete with foreign women who still provide some of the traditional values men expect from their wives.
And contrary to what they say, when the old boys are marrying foreign, its far worse for them. 50 year old single men with their shit together are not easy to come by and they often have their pick of local women close to their own age. They are forgoing these joyful creatures though for a younger piece of ass that wont complain about having to cook him a meal or him having stayed at the bar for an extra beer or two with his mates.
You are going to see them start ramping up laws against men who marry foreign women, and you are going to see them make it more difficult for people to marry foreign women. We have seen rumbles in the media already, but I think its going to escalate as more and more men consider this option. There is going to be legislation coming, media shaming, courses added to college majors, investigative reports, you name it.
Isnt it ironic that a country which is one of the most progressive in the world when it comes to gender, has this "problem" though?
Mark my words. Within the next 10 years, we are going to see a combination of two things as more and more men reject marriage. We are going to see bachelor taxes as money continues to run dry and they drum up ways to support all these female friendly government programs. The other will be an attack on foreign brides and the men that marry them.

Sweden has emerged as the country with the highest percentage of local men with Thai wives or life partners.
As well as a growing number of Thai workers travelling to Sweden as seasonal workers, the number of Thai women arriving in Sweden has increased three fold over the last 10 years. Over 80% of Thai immigrants to Sweden are relationship partners or Thai wives of Swedish men and Sweden, like Germany has a long tradition of men seeking Thai women as life partners. Sweden is one of a few countries where there is now a second and third generation Thai community which still maintains very close links with Thailand. However, the increased levels of younger Thai women now entering Sweden has now become a political issue.
Last year, a female governor of one rural Swedish province requested that the government look into this situation, investigate abuse and perhaps even limit the number of Thai women permitted into the country. She has now been given a mandate from the Swedish government to investigate the trend although government agencies and leading academic have also conductive a qualitative studies into the nature of the growing number of relationships between Swedish men and Thai women. Although Sweden portrays itself to be one of the more liberal countries in Europe, the Swedish government is concerned with this as immigration becomes a powerful and divisive political issue.
In fact, the Swedish government has had several issues to deal with. In spite of it representing its country as liberal and progressive, Swedes has been putting their government under pressure to investigate such issues as gay and lesbian marriages, the ordination of lesbian bishops and the growth of the sex industry in Sweden, including the large numbers of Thai massage parlours in Stockholm.
Those lobbying the Swedish government highlight the number of Thai women who appear to be discarded by their male Swedish partners or seek help from Sweden's welfare agencies. Women's groups claim many Thai women have been subjected to abuse by Swedish men. However, like Finland and Norway, while there are documented cases of abuse, most relationships between Thai women and Swedish men are successful. Although there is no accurate data on relationship breakdown between Thai women who marry Swedish men, it is likely to be lower than the overall divorce rate in Sweden which is now nearly 55%. One UK man living in Sweden estimates that over 85% of marriages between Thai women and Swedish men are successful.
