Thai culture 101. If you make a Thai person feel bad (or lose face), even if you are only pointing out the truth, or even do it by accident, then you are bad and liable to have your life ruined.

Desire and attachment does lead to suffering... 🤔

Why would they lie to her? What's in it for them?

You get what you put out. 🤷‍♂️

Again, that's just people being realistic. Left-wing types will say these kinds of negative things, but that's just because they are so tied to their deranged ideology they are incapable of seeing the world as it is.

They like the random and public nature of it.

Some say the most realistic expat community in all of Thailand.

You might want to reword that a little. It's quite confusing. I suggest something like: Age, job, class, income, of each person. Children. What you each plan to do when you live together in Thailand. Where exactly you plan to live. Where the parents live. How your lifestyles differ. What specific advice you want.

Dogging was coined because gay men when discovered would simply say they were looking for their lost dog. Cottaging is due to the old public toilets that gay men used to meet in resemble(d) cottages.

You're lying. Please stop. No one believes you.

This is how they operate. They try to get as many "sponsors" as they can. It's just to extract as much money from foreigner men as they can. It's unlikely that her mother is sick. She probably doesn't even like you. Say no and she'll probably disappear anyway.

I don't see where you quoted the bicycle deaths in Thailand, so your argument is pretty vague. You don't need to focus on just bicycle deaths to know how dangerous it is to ride a bicycle in Thailand. Thai roads are way more dangerous than US roads, so it is obviously going to be more dangerous to ride a bicycle on the road in Thailand than the US. No "bashing" is needed. You can just think rationally. 🤷‍♂️

The OP kind says some sort of mental disability to me. Hanging around in "shipyards and boat piers" is king of odd for a 19 year old. Maybe some sort of autism/mental age of a child thing is a factor. He may have been led off by some bad people. Edit: Just re-read the posts and apparently he's the kid that molested a horse? I guess he might have done a runner, or done something more drastic. I stand by my initial assessment, though, as the horse thing certainly suggests that he is disturbed.

Doubtful. The guy's likely mentally ill. Probably a lot of smiling, nodding and saying "Really? Wow!" and then quickly walking off.

Someone asked him a specific question about this guy, he answered the question. The only clown here is you.

Which is fine, unless they have a kid together, the woman then hates men, or the guy is a total psycho and doesn't let her go... 🙄

Maybe not enough bad men to go round. Or the single ones found out the hard way that what they want isn't always what is good for them.

How many are single?

I agree, to a certain extent. Women like men who fit a certain mould, and a**holes seem to fit the bill. But it seems like in the West women at least don't realise how bad they are from the start. The women are often being played, and believe that the guy is good for a limited time. While in Thailand, I think, women seem to want to be treated badly. In the West, I would say that women want a high status man, or an "alpha male", but in Thailand, there's no pretence, they literally want a guy that will treat them badly, and they often seem to see their role as being to take care of them, buy them stuff, and put up with their garbage behaviour. Just my opinion.

Not much damage to the bike, apart from the saddle. Does that suggest the chap's body took most of the impact? Poor guy.

Looking at her phone? Speeding? Asleep? Probably all three.

Possibly the more glaring issue is the attitudes of Thai society. Women seem to find toxic men highly attractive, society seems to believe that cheating and abuse are normal, and Thais have a "don't get involved if it doesn't affect you" attitude. If these three were changed, incidents of domestic violence would no doubt fall rapidly.

If someone were to feel like that, it's likely that something happened to them in their childhood that means they can either never be happy, or only feel happy when they experience some sort of overpowering external force, like earning a vast some of money or having a crowd of people cheer for them, but that feeling quickly goes away when the moment has passed. They also feel far more deflated when something happens where they are made to feel inferior to someone else, which a regular person could likely shrug off.
