There has always been an inherent need to rank ourselves, and feel good about it or feel we can improve our standing. That's why sport all around the world uses league tables. Humans growing up with social media feel poor and ugly compared to everyone they see online. So hopeless that it feels pointless to compete. Striving to move from bottom to second to bottom ain't fun. Virtue signalling is the new game in town for all those who will never be attractive enough to be an influencer on YouTube.

Is It Really Cheaper In The Sticks?
sidjameson replied to LaosLover's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Everyone wants to feel good about themselves. Tons of research shows a man with the first motor bike in the village is happy but the man riding a motor bike is miserable if every other man has a car. We all know accumulation of wealth has little correlation with a man's worth but we are trapped inside the rules of that game regardless. The real reason outside central Bangkok and perhaps CM is cheaper is that there is no hidden assault on well being at passing a man get out his expensive car and walk into a sushi restaurant with a girl that he wouldn't have if he couldn't afford those things. -

Worse in asia. Nearly all the westerners in south East Asia are racist against male Asians. -

Hmm....are you saying the old guys in Pattaya look and act younger than their age?

Yes. The "I want to improve myself set" has never had access to so much good advice on nutrition and exercise. Improving themselves tends to lead them to the cities. The "I have no interested in improving myself" set have never had so much access to cheap crap food and phone entertainment. They tend to have no interest leaving the village either. The gap will only get wider.

Found I love my new routine. I exercise with dumbbells. Need to be in Bangkok a month. Near mass transit. Small gym ...even just one dumbbell. Budget 25k Hotel or Airbnb near a gym ok too. Any ideas?

Money pays for pleasures that can distract you from your misery. Money also provides comforts while you search for fulfillment. These days comforts and pleasures can be had so easily but misery still as common as fulfillment is absent. It's complicated.

I learned to enjoy reading more than drinking. Cooking more than restaurants. Using charm to get women more than money. Having girlfriends more than having kids. Exercise more than owning cars. With those preferences even a lazy git like me could work a bit and retire by 45 I'm surprised how easy life has been.

I've always dreamed of being the guy who was perfectly content living in the jungle with just a knife, piece of string and a needle. Alas I like watching the premier league too much.

Im 55 and in the UK living off my modest savings I feel I'm in the 3rd class carriage of life. In Thailand I feel like I'm riding 2nd class. And occasionally allowed into the 1st class dining area.

Very nicely written. I've followed your posts thru the years, just wondering where you settled on for now? -
A Closer Look at Buddhist Lent and Dharma Day in Thailand

Is your Thai good enough to ask that question? Understand the answer? -
Because your qualities of "providing, loyal loving" are fine if you find a woman who .... 1. Is attractive...imagine a guy providing for an ugly woman. Don't want to disparage ugly women but it just isn't our natural state to work for someone who isn't providing beauty. 2. She didn't get baggage from other men. We all know men are pigs at times. Providing for damaged goods.....why do it? The deal you propose worked for the past. But are you saying that a man should work hard and provide financial security for a woman that enjoyed her young days with casual sex while the guy worked on his career?
