  1. I tried that line on many a Thai woman ....... they rarely understood why they had to take their clothes off for me to "investigate" .
  2. "A woman’s loyalty is tested when her man has nothing. A man’s loyalty is tested when he has everything. "
  3. A WEEK AGO ??? !!! Oh man .......... you are still craving that heroin . "just one more than I will stop " . There is no way anyone can pull you out of the "addicted to love" state . The only way to help someone is telling them the truth : you will never be happy with this person. Personally I like the Steve McQueen persona ; be cool. not overly emotional . be confident ! And of course, don't try to impress with money. Getting "hooked" sometimes happens. Good reason to go slow and do the vetting. I prefer to think of it as have fun, do simple things, and try acting LESS interested in long term . good luck with your withdrawel . forget the heroin. try to find some substitute ( that is a metaphor ) 😎
  4. hahaha very true . lots of trial and error for most . and some never learn
  5. Fantastic story ! ..... and of course i have a similar one 😄 Mine was from Buriram . Black Magic woman . Looked like a Cambodian princess . Pulled the same thing as yours did . Almost exactly . I found out ! Let her come back ( i was hooked) ..... but ... after a while I came to my senses . Then i had my revenge . Told her to take a trip home and see her family (which she had NOT done before) . Kept in touch with the I miss you stuff, then when she said she was coming back I calmly said those 3 famous words : Mai pen rai Maybe Disney can make a film on that one . BTW: of course, we are all different . I am not a big spender, nor look like a millionaire. My usual date was to a small restaurant, sometimes with some music, a modest meal and some drinks. Then home for "dessert" . IMO flashing the big bucks or talking about it only works against a guy looking for someone who is not a gold digger . Worked for me, but i admit I didn't catch the hi so types. Which was fine for me.
  6. It's great for a guy to be nice, sweet, considerate, etc. The problem starts when she suddenly makes a face , or pouts, or disrespects, or shows no appreciation . THEN...... that BS is not dealt with . Because men are afraid they will lose their "sweetheart" . My friends will tell you my joke : I always said that when a girl came to live with me I bought a bus ticket to their home and hung it on the wall . A good reminder ............
  7. actually, i was making what i thought to be a joke ! Now i see it WAS based on a true story . Well, when i meet most Farangs here walking meekly behind their presumed significant others ( thai or western) , I can only be thankful that I do not suffer from their weakness . Seems like the only time Males show any toughness is when they are arguing with each other. like on internet forums 🙄
  8. pretty sure it is "based on a true story" ...........
  9. I agree with you ... about the "fear" factor. Unlike the people that created such fear with the covid hysteria .. to lock people down , mess with their livelihoods , to scare and coercing the world into getting those shots ............. I do NOT believe that those of us here are trying to stop others for any reason other than stopping the shots, PERIOD. I for one don't give a hoot about the jerks here who simply post childish , obnoxious names and ad hominems at me and others. They are stupid. Period. Just one more thing ( you won't see me again till ?? ) The experimental shots were manufactured in many places......... and the majority of bad cases were from certain lots. There is indeed a big story ( conspiracy theory, of course ) .... that it was intended to have different strengths, ingredients that would be given in different areas. Thailand was not subjected to the really "bad batches" and therefore a much lesser degree of people with bad reactions. Also Thais are healthier . But everyone i know still got sick . oh, except me, my lady, and the other nutters posting here take care Fred
  10. What is your name ? "My name is nobody " lol I am a fan of Mind over Matter . (especially usefull for those with bad companions)
  11. You definitely have a very bad case of ABTV ! (anything but the vaccine) thank you. you have made the marketing team very happy , knowing that the talk of dyes as distracted you from the biggest elephant in the room
  12. It is blatantly obvious , the horrible condition of peoples' health ( most evident in the good ole usa) ....... and yet many ignorant and even some bright people still keep downing and shooting those drugs ! So many are pure poison, but there is basically no self control/ discipline in todays society ..... where immediate gratification has defeated critical thinking and a choice other than to follow the herd. Basically the only healthy people i know ( and a few.... guess who..... that bother to post here and face the stupid trolling ) , are the ones that did not take the dRNA shot. Just as an aside.. the Amish are extremely healthy and basically no autism . SM ... PR.....RS ..... be happy with your health, as i am . I do not think anything we say is going to affect the AN choir .
  13. you are absolutely wrong . but, hopefully (since you believe me on the others)... you will dig a little deeper into those two you doubt me on. cmon, you can do it (Please do not look on google for "fact checks" or truth .......... THEY TOO win the prize for selective bias !
  14. Reuters, yahoo, cnbc, cnn, ny times, washington post, nbc, abc, disney.......... and many many more mainstreet media sites are owned by democrat siding leftists . They literally report the same bias , almost word for word. And the "studies" they quote are funded and thus controlled by the same people . "Biden is sharp as a tack" ...... "safe and effective" Billions of people understand these sources are only interested in their agenda. check what has happened to your beloved CNN and ABC viewership . down, down, down. I guess their low low ratings are because all the rest of us are wrong for thinking they are just propoganda machines.
  15. actually , many people know the reason . but y'all just call those people names like conspiracy theorist or nutcakes or whatever . And then go on for pages and pages, day after day, repeating the same old .......... brainwashed ............... and in denial . (yes you are . no i'm not ....) ha ha ha . and the rush for sad emojis begins
  16. I have always used a fantastic device which is inplanted in my left testicle . Just as I am about to perform a pleasurable act with a person identifying as female ... i ask them to shout out loud , " **** me ! **** me now ! " Kind of like play acting 😎. If they don't play along, I leave . So you see....... I have the consent on microchip . Obviously I am not rich and famous (yet ) . But if that were to happen , and i dared to share some of the truth conspiracy theories against the "wrong people " and then got brought up on 20 year old allegations, I would whip out the proof ! Might be a bit embarrasing when I have to show them where the evidence is .😅
  17. Obviously you did not follow the tried and true formula for success ! Buy High And Sell Low ! BHASL ( not to be confused with BLM )
  18. I think so ......... but wish you the best . 😎
  19. The big "particular factor" is when you reach 60 or so ( even if still look ok for your age) . I have always preferred sleeping with a girl that I was pretty sure had an attraction for me . In my 50's I think that was often the case .... as well as the other obvious factors built into the female species . Heck, even going out for dinner or whatever is much more enjoyable when there seems to be a mutual interaction. ( another big reason why I laugh at the number of guys who can not communicate in Thai , and say they have no desire to ) . Guys with "educated" ladies who speak English are often very proud of that. I always enjoyed the Thai experience , which got better as my thai did . Mainly because I like simple, sweet , and dare i say somewhat innocent/ naive girls . ( maybe another reason we are attracted to girls in their twenties) . But.... back to being 60 and up ! Trying to believe that wearing hip clothes, an earring, or driving a sports car is gonna make a guy sexy is as silly as combing the hair above your ears across the bald spot on top . 😆 I had a fun time (and sometimes a bit crazy juggling the objects of my urges) when in my midlife (50's) adventures. Then I started to raise the age of who I felt more comfortable with and who might actually care about me. I try not to deceive myself too much. Anyway....YES . I found a fit for my age and lifestyle when I was 65 ( still 22 years my junior ). She has not let me down ............yet . And though I am not totally cured...... my little brain seems to be ok with it . Hint : I would leave if things changed, and she knows it .
  20. Nice , informative reply . The amazing thing about lives and relationships (as per this subject .... and the Farang/ Thai in particular) is how many variables there are. Infinite ! Starting out here in my thirties , I think i can say that I have been through a helluva lot of the "thai experience" . Of course in 1984 I thought it was Paradise found . And so I went through the nightlife phase.... the beginning to learn Thai phase.... the motorcycle around the North adventure..... and actually it was only about a year before I was "married" to a great smile, nice CM girl, working in DK bookstore. The few longtime friends I have also tied the knot around the same time ( in our thirties) . Sixteen years later, and one great child, I walked out . Very tough to do as the wife did nothing "wrong" . I just was not happy and was not going to accept that I should stay out of duty, or whatever . My friends stuck it out ... and I do not envy them . I am sure they are jealous of my life. So..... then I was early fifties ( like you now ) . Still a hansum man , with language skills and the internet opening the world of online adventures . And yes, one or two twenty year olds that were crazy about me. I had a scratched car to prove it ! Plus a crying scene or two . So i enjoyed my midlife freedom. Maybe if i could stay 53 for the rest of time then I would still be doing that. Except... I have that gene in me that likes to live with a lady . And another gene that gets bored easily . As for vetting ..... the general "advice" to take it slow is one i agree with. I lived with a number of candidates 555. Always disappointed , as what starts out great gradually melts away . The great dream of having one mate that will grow better and better like a fine wine is a Hollywood fantasy. It can be true... if expectations and priorities of what is most important ( for me, for you, etc ) are also slowly adjusted to face the reality of getting older. I have a few very strict expectations for who I will be close to . I learnt the red flags regarding these lovely Thai princesses ........ and those here know that we learn the hard way . In closing i will say that i also learned to change ! You hit it right : kindness and easy going pleasantness works MUCH better . ( hint to posters on social media everywhere) ; cheers
  21. What happened after 22 years ? So, now you are 22 years older........ and you think you can find the same thing again . Well........ only problem is the dynamics are not the same . Main one being the age difference . Good looks are valued by women same as they are for men . Hansum man
  22. Well JK ......... the topic doesn't seem to have gathered much steam . A few people making the usual posts of calling out the faults of others ( always good to know who the really smart and successful guys are , according to them ) haha then there was : "forum members could seek some kind of intellect here. 🤣🤣🤣 Made myself laugh with that last sentence 🤣🤣" JK, i also have been here 30+ years , and have been through the many phases of Farang comes to Thailand . I check this forum out once in a while to read some of the recent experiences of (mostly new) members . Interesting to hear the recent experiences re: love lives, immigration, and of course the "this is what Thailand is all about" from guys that can't even speak the language. Anything of a political or health issue is really just a cock fight with competing Google link posts "proving" one's position. Critical thinking ? huh ??? At my age I am concerned with doing the best i can to stay healthy . Part of which involves avoiding getting too involved with others . Though i used to enjoy human interactions........ I sort of accept that times have changed. Following this forum from time to time is just a small part of daily life . There are some more interesting substacks ( for me) . For some here... this is their castle , and the competition is what they come for.
  23. Well, JK . ...... sure enough, on one of my rare days that I posted some comments and made a few jokes... One of the daily posters got upset and couldn't hold back any longer . These forums are full of people with many issues ( i have a few myself haha) . And so ....... that is why I personally do not feel better after encountering some of those who are losers but want to prove themselves otherwise by getting into conflicts on the internet. Time for my AN anonymous yoga exercises now ....... followed by some drinks with my extremely successful ex M16 buddies . And of course, some homemade kefir . Cheers
