Again, culture has nothing to do with a person's choices. Personal preference is what people go by. Women as an example. I think Thai women are among the most beautiful worldwide, but there are Blacks, Whites, Filipinas, Latinas, Irish, Hawaiian, Italian, and mixes of these that are as beautiful. The same with music. The best musicians and bands are definitely from America, Germany, Scotland, England, and Canada, although there are some from other countries and no one bases their preferences on location but the music itself. Culture is man made. Attractions aren't choices but just happen.As far as Erin Burnett, she is pretty but hardly at the top. I've dated better looking women many times. Some of the prettiest have already been mentioned, but there are women I've seen in villages here that would give them a run for their money, and without the makeup many celebrities use.

Actually an exact answer. The majority of chickens countrywide are free running, meaning they go wherever they want. This is also true of the dogs countrywide, which is a major problem and is being dealt with by spaying and neutering many of them. Only problem is that this has to be funded by the government and stepped up on a major scale to do some good, as people here rarely care about their animals and allow them to roam freely everywhere, without having them fixed. I don't blame dogs for being dogs. If there were actual laws like they have back in the US, dogs wouldn't be allowed to roam in many places and must be kept in the yards. This will never happen here because again, not many care. This is also not like the country areas in the states, where people do keep many of the poultry in houses at night because of the coyotes, and are a lot more likely to train their own dogs to not kill the birds. A sling shot might chase a dog away, but he'll be back when you aren't there, which means at night.

All depends on what you're training for. For strength and muscle building, you use moderate to heavy weights 8-10 reps upper body, 12-15 lower. For endurance you can go to 12-15 and 15-25. Tone will come from all weight training, or resistance exercises as long as your body fat is low. My mistake is I lifted too heavy for too long, and hurt my joints. If I knew what was coming, I wouldn't have lifted so much weight and instead just stayed with the 8-10 and 12-15 reps routine. No matter the routine, you need days off to just walk and rest. Working out too much leads to stress and some get sick by lowering their resistance. I can't tell you how many times I saw many bodybuilders with colds and coughing because they were in the gyms everyday.

Music choice is personal preference, no matter the culture. I like Mexican music, Flamenco, African and World music and others. I base my friendships on what I listed, and it has nothing to do with where they come from or nationality. America is the same as it ever was in most ways. Media brings news to us a lot more than before. Your culture is American, and you cannot escape that. Aliens are people, like you, that move to other countries. I am looking forward to moving back to the US, as it has everything anyone could want, from everywhere on earth.

Higher reps build endurance and hardness of the muscles. Lower reps, higher weight builds muscle and more strength. Working out too much or everyday that way will break down muscle and you'll look like long distance runners. Body needs rest plus intensity.

This means you can't be friends unless they think just like you. That if they like music other than what you like, they aren't worthy of being your friend. I like most all music, besides rap, hardcore and most soulless pop. This has nothing to do with what my friends like, as they have their own minds and desires, which have nothing to do with me. They are my friends because we can relate of one topic or another, or share some common interests. Some don't like some of my music and that's okay. I'm turning my girlfriend here onto music she would never be able to enjoy otherwise because of my eclectic tastes and the amount of music I have. She likes Thai music and I really don't, seeing that they try and copy western pop and their language doesn't correspond well with a lot of western style instrumentation. I do like some Thai music, mostly instrumental. I grew up near NYC and heard old R&B all that time, and still love it now. It's much better than modern day R&B. Yes, I can be close friends with anyone who listens to music other than what I like, if we have other things in common.

I'm thinking you need a box of baking soda

A normal blood pressure is 120/80. A tad high or lower isn't a problem . Maybe change doctors? One who does a thorough examination and evaluates you periodically, not lazy and an over prescriber like many are. There's a reason for blood pressure checks, and they aren't rubbish. although many doctors surely are, as they kill more people than many other problems. And a doctor that laughs when you tell him you have a headache and says it's genetics? Migraines are partly caused by genetics but headaches can come from many sources, and ongoing shouldn't be laughed at. These are your words......... ...................."The only thing I wasn't happy with was last week when I had a headache I told him I think it was a brain aneurysm and he sort of laughed and said that is caused by genetics and I don't have that and then refused me a brain scan saying I don't need it"......... It's caused by genetics and you don't have that?? You don't have genetics? And why assume he's taking too much salt or eating miso soup? Assuming is what a lot do here, and it never works.

I'm guessing you don't live in the country nor spent much time here. Everything here is free range besides the few who have fenced in small yards.

There isn't anything you can do because dogs will always be around. When a puppy turns into a dog here, it's cuteness goes away and they are looked at as pests. Some take care of their animals and should be commended, but it's few and far between. I've had a few dogs and more that looked at my house as home, but most of them have been poisoned by these farmers because they don't like them running through their fields. Like everything else that involves being neighborly, no one really cares. I have had cats, , chickens and ducks killed by dogs that are nice to people because they weren't taught as puppies to be friendly to other animals, like some obviously are as you can see on some properties. It's impossible to watch your animals all the time, so it's going to happen that they are victims. If you had a gun you could shoot the dogs, which isn't something dog lovers like myself would do, but more would eventually come back, as roaming dogs is a countrywide problem. The lack of caring and funding here, which does spay and neuter many, can't catch up to the amount of births happening.

No one has ever turned gay because of a lack of an erection. Gays still need a woodie if you would think for a second. If anyone is picking up anyone they have a reason or need.

I do know what I'm talking about,as my advice was sound. I didn't say you didn't cherish her. I said to just appreciate her and don't take her for granted, as many do after some years pass. People stay married for 40 years unhappy, so it's not about time. It's about quality time.

Never any idols. Just liked a few I saw on TV. Marilu Henner was one, along with Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Sophia Loren, and a few more women. For men, actors I liked were Gregory Peck (To Kill a Mockingbird), Steve McQueen (In Papillon, The Great Escape), Sidney Poitier (To Sir With Love, The Defiant Ones, In The Heat Of The Night), Kirk Douglas (Spartacus, The Vikings), Charleton Heston (Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments).

No way to tell without an honest poll. I would say most marry girls that aren't hookers but most do marry women who have had children with Thais before. This is one main reason they choose foreigners. More likely to stick around after a child is born, and a lot more likely to support another man's children.

I would do anything you can to let that woman know she is cherished, loved and honored. I would not go to Pattaya because everyone here knows what that's about, and take her with you anywhere you go. Also, answer that phone. It shows respect. A keeper isn't to be taken for granted. Ever.

The only reason I'm living in Thailand is because I have to get re-established back in the states with my daughter and that takes time. My wife always came first until she proved unworthy,and my kids always came first when I was alone until they can take care of themselves. I still take care of myself well, because it's the only way you can take care of others.

I was talking about pure Thai women. Other Asians of course have whiter skin.

And some make mistakes in picking partners because of attraction. And these weren't women I bought, although I did pay more in other ways. Sometimes it takes a lot of weeding before you find the right flower.

There are pretty women here with white skin but I had much of that with western women and always liked tanned skin. Here it's natural, along with no body hair besides on the head.

White skin isn't a turn on for most farangs, preferring the nice brown tan look. Fake white makes Thais look Japanese and not normal. And I'm pretty sure many of us here aren't losers stuck with an M.

1. Speaks very little English, communication being a major deal breaker, and this was one 2. Village school, of course we know the results 3. One job after another, having depression this causes a lot to do this 4. 2 girls from two Thai men, both left, she subsequently gave the first one away at age 9, second age 10, got her back, now lives with first daughter. 5. Has never worked in a bar. 6. Likes to have a laugh 7. I paid for everything 8. Family aren't on the take, but expected some because I'm a farang. 9. Wielded a knife 3 times at me. 10. Loves to travel. ***(Bonus Points - Said she would cut it off if I cheated /was a good cook)*** Was the worst of all three wives I've had, although all shared the same "qualities", so I can't say much about Thai women being the best wives. Current girlfriend has been good for almost 4 years

By the time she's done, she'll need to start again.. Good job though. I have about a rai of lawn so I bought one of the few lawnmowers in Thailand

Tips as pay aren't like they are in the US. Waitresses and waiters get a very small salary and expect tips to compensate. Here they get paid the usual 200-300 baht a day like most other jobs countrywide and tips are extras. Employers in the states get away with this low salary and it's plain wrong. They should get minimum wage at least. Tips paid are for good service.
