I knew you and know of you to have this pattern in life to seduce your women your whole life. You have been a chameleon with yourself and had a real shady past in the Bahamas, Colombia and now Indonesia. If I can find you then what about all the other people you conned in your life? You are really gloating with this marriage and it is like a badge you wear and have worn in the past. The people you have hurt will not forget your deceit.

He is the most down to Earth, honest and thoroughly genuine person you could ever wish to meet, he is an English gentleman.

Yuyun his wife has a young strong mind and is the other half of a strong couple, not someone on a leash and following is every word.

Their lust for life is inspiring and many of us could do with mirroring even just their example, after all what is age?

If you were blind and had never seen your partner (or any person), how would age come into play as long as you were HAPPY?

These 2 break the age “mold” so that the rest of us “cowards” can enjoy even more chance of finding happiness in life.

My regards to Yuyun and Sheldon on their article and I hope their cattle business thrives.

I do hope we meet again sometime and take care.

Norman.

Ps Before some sexually frustrated housewife or womens rights lesbian says anything here – NO I am not one of Shell’s customers looking for a wife.

You are generalizing too much about religion to make any coherent arguments. I find little wrong about ag differences. I’ve known many couples that are very happy and suited for each other in spite of their age difference.

What my colleagues and I found quite despicable are the comments of Archer. He is either naive, insensitive, a bigot or more likely all three.

Jakartass: I think you hit on something that has intrigued me since the story appeared: the author Duncan Graham’s motive in writing that article. Two possibilities suggest themselves: Duncan’s either spaced out and thinks the hell of Archer or that Duncan is so disgusted with him he decided to let the man hang himself with his own words.

I like to think the latter as I have faith in journalists (well, ome of the time anyway).

Rani: the Post may have run that article for the same latter reason, though it is a risky business attributing great deliberation behind the paper’s decisions.

This is pure bigotry. I think the person who wrote “worked up” has a problem of some sort, maybe carrying some grudge against men. I’ve met women in Indonesia, whose Indonesian husbands have abandoned them with children and no support whatsoever. In Western countries, the legal systems would assist these women in obtaining some support.

The culture of Indonesia seems to blame women for everything. Blame them for seducing the men, so make them cover up. Blame them for going to bars to meet bules, so lock them up until they pay the police the “get out of jail fee”. So when Yuyun gets lucky, all those who haven’t got lucky get jealous.

Observers tell me that Indonesia is famous for criticizing sex, while participating like rabbits. Its wholesale hypocrisy here. Indonesia Playboy is pilloried, while Indonesia has considerably more sexual content, because its readership is female.

In general, your opinion reflects mine. You have expressed it with much better clarity and I am also not familiar with the writings of Duncan Graham. Thanks.

It’s not so much that the relationship is unusual ~ think of Charles Chaplin, for example. That Sheldon is supporting his wife and her family is also not that unusual in this country, nor that there is a strong physical attraction. The relationship seems to be a healthy one and there do not appear to be any ‘victims’.

What I found surprising, though, was the general exploitive and supercilious tone of the article, which was written by Duncan Graham, a regular contributor to the Post and also an older man. It crossed my mind on first reading it that DG was out to shock and I wondered why given that in general his ‘human interest’ articles are quite bland.

I’ve no doubt that Sheldon is still encountering culture shock and has yet to learn what is appropriate to say here. I hope he lives long enough to live down some of the comments attributed to him.
