The member article list 10 countries of Southeast Asia for the probability of having genuine love relationships without entering a formal marriage. What is a genuine love relationship? A love affair is different from a purely sexual score. I would measure the genuineness of a love relationship by evaluating the separation stress it were to cause the female part. If the girl or young woman would not shed tears when the relationship were to break, then it’s not a love relationship.

The level of attachment that would cause separation tears typically is not achievable without at least some sexual contact. Thus, countries where it is very difficult to have sexual relationships without a formal marriage rank rather low.

The good news is that in most countries of Southeast Asia it is easy to have love relationships without having to agree to a formal marriage. This, of course, doesn’t mean that the female part in such a relationship would not want the relationship to become a marriage. Practically all women in Southeast Asia definitely would prefer a marriage over any other relationship with a man.

But if you are a young woman in Southeast Asia, even if you are a beauty, you can’t always get what you want. And to have a shot at a really good opportunity (a rich foreigner), you have to take a gamble.

So, girls and women, and often even their families, will agree to something that is sexual in nature, and hope that love will blossom and lead to a marriage.

Under what circumstances girls and young women will agree to what, varies greatly in the different countries of Southeast Asia.

In some countries, purely material considerations go a long way; in others, a good excuse does the trick. Again, in another country, showing determination, and a considerable amount of sweet talk, is the best strategy.

Please note that the member version of this article is just one of several country ratings from 10 to 1 (starting with the worst and ending with the best).
