Human nature being what it is, I prefer to remember the women that were good, and forget the ones who were not. If men before me helped make them great lays, all I can say is thank you. Having said that, there are members of both sexes who are just naturals. No tuition required.

Get outside the cities into the boondocks, there are still quite a few slim ones around. Rural Thais can't afford those food categories. My GF says she is too fat when she hits 43 kg on the bathroom scales.

Another poster beat you to it one or two pages ago.

35 years is old? IMO that's the age when women are at peak sexuality. I suppose some men like the Pygmalion shtick.

Depends on what one defines as best. I would much rather have sex with an experienced woman in her thirties who knows what she is doing, and how not to get pregnant, than some teenager who has all the skills of a starfish.

As Mandy Rice-Davies once said: "Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?" Perhaps it was his oral skills, Mick certainly has the lips for that.

Djokovic ran his own tournament in Adria, against medical advice and without much precautions. Quite a few players were infected. He has consistently refused to confirm his vaccination status. Tennis Australia and gun-for-hire medicos were too smart by half, cooking up a spurious medical exemption to get him to play. He's one of the fittest human beings on the planet, two jabs won't hurt him. Most Australians were outraged at being taken for mugs. Deporting him for failing to follow visa requirements will no doubt outrage the anti-vaxxers too.

It always mystifies me why some foreigners refuse point-blank to learn any Thai. While I will never be fluent, I can usually communicate successfully. It's also good mental exercise. I've been in quite a few situations where being able to speak Thai has saved me a lot of inconvenience, even something as mundane as explaining I had a slow tyre leak at a garage.

I am 78. Avoiding fossilisation depends on whether one is prepared to exercise physically and mentally. I've seen some in their sixties who could fill in as trilobites.

I found it useful in getting myself vaccinated. IMO it will also be useful for domestic air travel.

I was visually stunned by the Burmese/Indian gene mix I observed in Yangon. Maybe not as good in facial terms; however, they had spectacular butts. Fully clothed, walking away from me, I felt weak at the knees. Would have loved to unwrap one, but I had my Thai GF with me.

Good thinking. I am dreading the time I will have to get off my scooter. My test for that will be when I can't control it anymore with my GF riding pillion. It also depends on the amount of confidence you have in your GF's driving skills. Most Thais are abysmal, because the instructors and licence requirements are likewise.

My GF is from Chiang Rai. AFAIK she has no Chinese genes, possibly some Burmese in the mix. To me, Issan girls are more solidly built, and their dark skin is gorgeous. Saying one is more beautiful than the other is like saying strawberry ice-cream is tastier than chocolate. They're both good.

According to what I have heard, Mick Jagger is hung like a horse and also knows how to use it. Add that to his fame as a singer, I can understand he has no problem. Some of the guys I was referring to would need a mirror, tweezers and pepper to find theirs.

A blood test may also be called for. Dry, itchy skin is a symptom of diabetes.

IMO the OP should give up any thoughts of driving in Thailand. At age 81, with incipient cataracts, slowing reflexes and accustomed to driving on American roads, it's a recipe for disaster. Thai traffic is among the most dangerous in the world. In a crisis situation, the OP's instincts would have him responding incorrectly, because his driving experience is not on the left-hand side of the road. I can remember driving in America in my fifties, and it took a lot of concentration for an Australian used to the other side of the road. As far as reflexes go, the OP can check those on the link. I am 0.37 second average, which is pretty slow. https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/java/redgreen.html

I can remember my first visit to Thailand, late eighties, as a consultant. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the grace, beauty and attitude of Thai women. Slim, petite. I was also surprised they thought nothing of being with guys that looked as if they fell out of an ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

AFAIK every medical clinic in Thailand is obliged to report a COVID-positive patient, whether they actually do is another question.

IIRC you have stated your four children in the UK are struggling, and hate you. That's not how I would want any child of mine to remember me.

IMO a relationship based solely on having kids would not be worth having anyway.

IMO having a child when one is in their sixties is irresponsible. How would anyone relate to them when they are in their teens? What sort of role model would a father in their 80's be? Delusional at best. People like Bernie Ecclestone may want to affirm their potency at an advanced age, he has the money to ensure any offspring are well provided for. I don't have that amount of money, or any desire to make myself look ridiculous.

Leeches are used in therapies to thin blood and dissolve blood clots, where modern pharmaceuticals are not available. Maggots are a very effective treatment for gangrenous tissue.

Why would I want to do that? I tread my own path. I don't know the situation of many farangs in Thailand, nor do I want to. I'd suggest if you were to cut off the flow of funds to your Thai family for a few months, it would be a good test of whether their love is real. If there was no change in attitudes, my congratulations. I prefer realistic to arrogant, thank you.

Your age is?

I know my GF walked a mile to school barefoot, the family could not afford shoes. I know her father gets a pension of 800 baht/month. I know her brother earns about 2000 - 3000 baht/month. Most of the people in the village do. There are a fair few horror stories about farangs who failed to set boundaries, and ended up broke and discarded. I fail to see why I should join them. My GF is well provided for after I die, and is happy now. You may think you are part of the family. Permit me to doubt the family ambience would continue if your flow of funds to them suddenly stopped, due to circumstances beyond your control. One of the Thai dichotomies is the subject of respect for age. They certainly do with their own kind, I haven't noticed much of it for elderly farangs.
