Yes, as a single guy with that salary, you can hang out here, but don't expect to have much left over to attract any women, so don't worry about ending up married with kids.

The independent, attractive, intelligent and interesting professional women will be after men who make more than they do, and their package is already much more than you would get here for a very long time with the offer you are considering.

The very poor, young, attractive, interesting foreign domestic helpers/waitresses/etc. you will get attention from, albeit temporarily, will trade up to any of the 99% of foreign men who earn many times more than you would, the instant they get the chance to switch their fickle loyalty to the better provider.

For the few available women somewhere in the middle, I believe they too will quickly tire of your mediocre means and seek a man with a better deal to offer, which, unfortunately for you, would be most of them.

If you don't know how Love vs. Money works in Asia, come take a look to see how fast you can fall in love with a wonderful, pretty, sweet, incredible, young, great girl, as long as you pay for everything. Then see how fast she falls out of love with you the instant you tell her that you will not be paying for everything anymore, nor will you be making monthly payments to her. (The better the woman, the more men she's already got sucked into giving her money every month and the higher the rate.)

All that to say, don't expect any issues with getting married/having kids....unless you fail to use rubber hats when you're with the ladies, or your self-esteem and intelligence are so low that you think young, pretty, slender, sweet, interesting, sexy girls really actually think your great and don't care about how much money you can provide. Then again, this kind of applies everywhere, but it's just a lot more expensive here.

Good luck!
