Sorry - but I think you're giving the OP false hope.
Stanley Ho and Angela is NOT a good example as he's so rich that he really doesn't need anybody Else's approval whilst the OP has plainly stated that having open liaisons with this gal would be career suicide.
And as for those Western guys with the Filipina/Thai wives with less than salubrious backgrounds - you will note that in MOST instances, they've really taken a beating as far as their social status AND even with the way that others look upon them. Most will then just be relegated to socializing with others of their own situation and/or the wife's community - and those are truly a sad sight to me. Apologize if I'm generalizing too the extreme or consigning all such liaisons to the same basket - but that is IMHO what the situation really is in the majority of cases - for Hong Kong as a society with longstanding prejudices really has NOT advanced that much.
The same set of "prejudices" has also put short shrift to many a local's social status and even affecting their careers/business. That is unfortunately the reality still in Hong Kong.
So, maccalim - I still suggest you go ahead and enjoy yourself to the hilt BUT to KNOW the reality of it all. Give it a few weeks, a few months - I'm quite sure that you'll come to your own senses without us suggesting one thing or another.
Again, Good luck!
