Thai men at this point on average are more masculine than Western men. I am not talking size/strength but the main part, the mentality.

Can you expand on this?  While Thai men can be very assertive and straight to the point when it comes to women (and may even harass, assault or cheat on them), they are pretty not confrontational and feminine a lot of the time.  They prefer gentle sweet talk, as do Thai women.

I don't think you have your facts straight.

And note that Thailand's economy did NOT crash and burn even when they completely shut down the (foreign) tourist industry completely and restricted domestic tourism as well.

It pretty much did, though.

I guess we know where Margaret Thatcher's ghost went...  😬

No, Men dressed as women with penises. Either way that's not straight, fact

That's simply your opinion.  Another opinion is that they view these people as women and they are therefore not gay.

no they like men that dress as women, penis is usually essential isn't it? is it essential for you?

No, they like women with penises.

Why ridicule this?

Because it isn't unique to Thailand and doesn't even originate there.

not really, if you like men and the penis is a giveaway then they are bisexual if they still like women as well

We're not talking about men who like men, though. These are men who like people they perceive as women. Again, it's just your opinion.

I was married for 30 years to a Brit schoolteacher, and came out of that relationship without a single memory worth having. I would have been better off if I'd never had a gf!

This is the thing people need to remember.  It sucks not having a girlfriend when you want one, but women can absolutely destroy a guys life (friends, family, career; gone), and often get away with it.

It is strange though that guys who like ladyboys still want to be and consider themselves as straight, clearly wrong because they are choosing a man with a penis dressed as a woman, that's clearly bisexual or queer per LGBTQ 

It's not that strange.  They probably just have a different opinion about it to you.  You think they're gay, that's your opinion, they don't think they are gay, that's their opinion.  🤷‍♂️

I've only just started reading the "central Thailand news" section out of curiosity, and it seems to be filled with Thais killing and maiming each other over the slightest thing.  Is this just how it is in the central provinces?

Mmm a bit young for him init ? an 8 yr difference at such a young age. Be very careful young man.  

Thar be dragons...  (Legal in Thailand but a raving paedophile according to some on this forum. 🙄)

It boggles the mind a little that Thai women aren't desperately seeking relationships with foreign men, the rate this seems to happen.

Even without the violence, Thai men being unemployed, violently jealous, addicted to drugs, and living off their wives, seems quite common.

In Vietnam, the women get it.  A foreigner is less likely to drink, beat them and cheat on them, and will probably treat them better in many other ways, but Thai women don't seem to have got the memo.

So... where is there mention of sexual assault? Did the win guy do anything?

 

Holding onto a motorcycle rider is safer than putting hands behind the back and holding on to the grab bar.

 

Was therd or not an assault?

"During the ride, the motorcycle taxi rider allegedly touched her genitals, forcibly grabbed her hand, and placed it on his penis. He also attempted to kiss her, prompting her to jump off the motorcycle. She suffered minor injuries and was shocked by the assault."

Wonder why Thai language is so poor?

I get the impression that Thai is actually quite hard even for Thais to learn fully.  They have to learn it not unlike learning a foreign language, even at high school.

I think I remember hearing there is kind of regular conversational Thai, then Thai for formal speaking and writing.  I guess like how legalese works.

The school implemented the hybrid teaching system at the beginning of Term 1, blending online and in-person classes. Students were required to prepare for their exams through online resources, with the school aiming to enhance flexibility and self-directed learning. However, this new method quickly revealed its shortcomings.

I think this would fail in most Western schools, let alone Thailand.

Study online during covid was just a long holiday for most Thai students.  Long in to get the attendance then back to sleep.

Crazy that they didn't learn from that and instead tried this.

Why would you claim that?  Your assertion is daft in the extreme. very inaccurate and reads as though you're trying to find justification for something.    We exist in 2024, not the Greek Dark Ages of 1,000 years BC.

If it happened a lot 3000 years ago then it makes it natural and a part of human development.

It's quite funny really.  He just tried to use "biology" to disagree with me (although he refused to back up what he claimed were facts), but now it doesn't back him up suddenly it doesn't apply.

That's an unfortunate choice of phraseology.  No, I wouldn't, I don't think the homo aspect of a man wanting another man's penis needs any "backing up".

Who said anything about another man's penis? This is a woman's penis, in their perception. (But of course you have to change it, because you have no argument.)

Of course you won't try to back it up. You can't!

Obviously...but factually, by definition, also.  

I don't think so.  Care to try to back that up?

Lol, so you think the comparison will not be made. A comparison that is not favourable to Trump.

What do you think "counter" means?

It means that your address emphasizes Trump is a convicted felon.

Oh.  No, it counters it.  👍

I'm not sure what this means.
