None of yours ever responded, so what did you do wrong?

Yes and yes to both but I didn't know them.

You can get a mortgage when over 60? They won't allow that in the UK.

More likely you would have been homeless.

Seems unlikely as you need to be age 13+ to open a Facebook account.

Not sure that's a valid point in this modern age. Hardly any fathers of any age do that these days, too busy working or divorced and prohibited.

You use your real name on Facebook? I don't even tell my friends my real name in person, they don't need to know. (I learned this from Thais whom hardly ever use their real names)

Yes, it's only their husbands they refuse sex.

I know a wealthy Thai lady in a BK prison, same for her, nice apartment style cell, tv, aircon, food ordered in. She pays around 100kbht/month to be there so not even that expensive.

Wonder how many of those ladies were born with a penis?

Amazing Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines. To be honest I blame welfare, when a government provides all, women don't need men for anything.

Same everywhere in the west (excluding France).

"They found that the couples – who had been together for a minimum of 10 years – had sex seven times a month on average." Sounds like a lot of liars in that survey (or they didn't specify who the sex was with). Back in the UK I didn't know any married men (of 2 years or more) having sex with their wife more than 2x a month, many were only allowed sex 2x a year. The old joke, when first dating a girl get a jar and put a marble in every time you have sex with her, after marriage take a marble out after sex ......... your jar will never empty. That is so true!

You're right! Back to the OP, I wouldn't have asked for a change/refund, I'd have found some use for the bin bags.

Chiang Mai isn't that different. The western food availability (10 years back) used to be the big difference. But now you can buy it all cheaper online and have it delivered anywhere in Thailand.

Me too! (67 years old) For some reason I thought you were much younger than me.

Historically 80 percent of men were just cannon fodder and lived short brutal diseased lives. I prefer civilisation and progress.

Given the choice , 1. man working for 40 years @ 40+hrs/week and being either asset stripped or living alone. 2. woman, pop two babies and have the rest of your life free from working. I'd go with being a woman. The peeing, pooping baby only lasts for 2 years, and that's only if you don't hire a nanny to do it all for you.

Plenty of bullies and stalkers on this forum. Can't even post a thread on 'cook in sauces' without suffering frequent personal attacks from the 'haters'.

How is their (possible future) health your concern?

Would point out many Cambodian banks have USD accounts and pay interest in USD. No need to convert anything.

Many old people end up in a care home. Many more occupy 1 room in a big empty decaying house they can't afford to heat or maintain. I used to visit a 'drop-in' center for old folks on a Friday when living back in the UK, they went there to keep warm and as a respite from their single lonely, cold existences. An affordable condo in the tropics with a swimming pool and maintained gardens would be luxury for the majority of old folk in the west.

Would point out the west also has its problems. I'll including mass homelessness, rampant petty crime everywhere and out of control inflation. I prefer it here.

Would point out 7-11 chain is as big as can be.

Yes, I quoted you in error and couldn't change or delete the quote. My bad!
