Sure am. Picking the wrong partners happens to almost everyone, until the right match is found. Takes two like minded, communicative, honest, faithful, loving and respectful partners to make a marriage work. Many people come from homes where their parents damaged their thinking, leading to future problems in relationships.

Treating a woman mean is the mark of a narcissist, looking for their own pleasure. Look it up. I've been through a few divorces because I picked damaged goods. Women who were not raised with love but abuse and neglect, who didn't know how to relate to a normal, loving relationship and who sabotaged it because they couldn't let themselves be treated right, it not being what they saw as children. One, the one here I had a child with, kidnapped our child 4 times and I had to divorce here to get my child returned. She hit me because she was mad at her mother and couldn't take that anger out on her, heaven forbid. She to this day wants us back together,although when trust is gone, and I can't trust a partner, I don't go back. My first marriage was much the same, and I divorced her for much the same reasons, and I got custody of our 3 children. The middle one was hooked on pain killers, and it wrecked her thinking. Her doctors over prescribed her and eventually she died from it. I treat women very well. What I fell in love with was my problem. Other relationships I've had were fine, we usually broke up because of different future plans. The one I'm in now is good. Something to read about absent dads.............https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/absent-fathers-and-sexual-strategies

Exactly. Like I mentioned earlier, this is one main reason I will take my daughter from here, as I don't want to have to retaliate if someone touches her, because it won't end well for them.

Girls become promiscuous because of absent fathers, no one teaching them their own value by loving them for who they are, whereas boys love them for what they are given. When a girl doesn't have a father that talks to them, protects them and teaches them they are worthy of being loved, they look for that missing perfect father and go from one man to another seeking out the impossible. Men who look at women as objects are narcissists that think everyone owes them something, including women. they learn from their parent(s) abuse, neglect or spoiling, thinking the world owes them for what they went through, and if their mother was overbearing or abusive, they grow up hating females and use them at every opportunity. Christian women ,meaning some, might be promiscuous, but for the reasons before, and not because they are Christian. Women from all religions can be promiscuous or not. Depends on their childhood. If a man loves a woman, he gives out pleasure equally as he receives, no matter what he knows or not. A woman becomes more willing if she is loved, listened to, and looked at as a partner and not an object. Romance should happen all the time,not just when a man wants sex, and if so, a woman will give you all you need. Books teach a lot, but a person has to be a giver first. I don't miss anything in what I give, because I'm whats known as an empath.

I don't make anything up but I do read, for 30 plus years now, all I can about human psychology, child rearing, human interactions, basically psychology and how people relate to each other, and react to each other in all types of situations. Your dad teaching you how to do things to young girls is what's bizarre. At 15, you're too young to be doing anything to a girl at 15, no matter what disturbed consent law says at that age. A father's job is to teach their sons respect for girls and women, by example of how he treats his wife, their mother and not to use but look at them as equals, someone you can date, have a relationship with, become close to, and not for his own pleasure to be tossed aside when he gets "bored" with them, because they are people and not objects. Truth is, if a father is actually present, many don't treat their wives well, and this is the sons role model where he learns how to be a "man", and if he's not present, the boys look to their peers how to relate to girls, and this is usually the wrong ways. Ever wonder why so many young girls get pregnant, by boys who are not going to help out if a baby is born, and will just go on to another clueless girl? It's that attitude, to use all the girls you can to try and prove your "manhood", something that goes on into their adult lives, continuing to use, thinking women are objects for their pleasure, which they aren't. When a woman is looked at as inferior, which they aren't, it gives men the idea they can use, abuse and throw them aside, as they do in countries like this one where Buddhism and Islam are practiced. Of course you think it's rubbish if you come from a history where you were taught, while still a child, that girls were to be deceived for your pleasure. I didn't place my comment about absent minded fathers for those just going to international schools but to all schools here.

I'm teaching my almost 8 year old daughter much the same way. She has told me some of the kids, although she does have a few friends in our village school, have hit her and called her names, prejudiced ones. I told her if anyone hits her, you hit them back, hard. Seems some other half Thai kids here get the same treatment, something taught by their ignorant parents. Another reason why she will be growing up in Texas asap.

Besides the food and typhoons, you just described Thailand, with the exception also, although Thailand is in the top 10 in violent crime, Myanmar is at the top now. Some areas of the Philippines, like all countries, have more violent crime than average., but it's localized.

At 15 boy should know, and have been taught, respect and off limits behavior, by their DADS. This country has about as high absent dads than any other place on earth, and this is why many aren't being taught respect for women. Buddhism also teaches them that girls, and women, are inferior, which tells them they can do anything they want to them. These boys deserve charges, expulsion and a record, nothing less. Hitting your son after he does this will not solve the problem because this is sexual abuse and control, and that's ingrained behavior that needs professional help.

This is, and has been happening weekly all over Thailand for a very long time, both by other students and by teachers, and much of the time nothing or very little is being done to punish those involved, which means less girls will be willing to come forward and name their predators, so this will continue to escalate, because if nothing's done, predators will continue to prey. First of all, believe your daughter what she is saying, and stand by her side. Your daughter should be removed immediately, and the international police should be made to file charges also immediately. Forget local police as they'll do nothing. I know what I would do if this happened to my daughter, and this is reason one why I will leave this country with my daughter as soon as I can arrange moving back to Texas with her. You can google a hundred links about this problem. This is but one...............https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-organisations-demand-stronger-action-against-sexual-harassment-in-education

You just described here

North Sentinel Island

If one doesn't leave the comfort of their moo ban,and travel to different poverty stricken countries, one doesn't begin to understand what millions of other people go through besides what we see on the news, which doesn't come close to what's actually out there. There are thousands of people living in the US that go without food daily, something the locals here cannot fathom.

If he has the Star Trek transporter, he should at least share.

Actually not too far off. This from 2022.........https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/developmenttalk/half-global-population-lives-less-us685-person-day

Am I missing something here, as you recently said you just got back from Manila? Does 7 weeks on and off in Pattaya include being in the Philippines? Will next week bring us a post, "Returning from Pakistan where I spent a month learning the local cooking"?

Meter was okay, they saw error on units, corrected it, bill lowered 215 baht

I was referring to those mature enough to have sex. Kids can grow up in a gay household and still be heterosexual by choice. Pedophiles are those that force sex on children, it not being their choice but a coercion by someone who manipulates their immaturity into their sick acts.

Might try the eye doctors inside the local Walmart where you are. I've been going there for exams for years and it's still at $100, so you'll save a tad. They can do everything all other eye doctors can regarding prescriptions. That price is for an eye exam for contacts, which is about the same as a normal eyeglass exam, although they might just be able to prescribe (refill) your prescription for much less.

No one can encourage another to have same gender sex if that's not already their choice. The fact that young people are reluctant to have children comes from another thinking. Maybe they can't afford raising the child, maybe the man won't stay after the baby is born, which happens most of the time, especially here, or maybe they were brought up in a family with a loving parent present, who taught them what it takes to raise a child. Too many children are having children WITH children, which means that child will probably be raised without a father present, and maybe a mother also, who feels the need to leave the child with grandma while she has freedom working in another city. All of this is definitely not a recipe for baby making, and shouldn't happen unless the two possible parents both love each other, and are willing to sacrifice their lives to raise that child.

Also, tell your woman and children you love them, by action and words. Do what you can to live in a place where you are comfortable, safe and able to enjoy your hobbies. Stay away from toxic people. Some cannot do these simple things, even though they know they are the right things to do, because of fear, anxiety or not having them done for them as they grew older. Challenge yourself to do things you know are right, but hesitant because they aren't on your normal agenda.

Why would I sleep? I'm watching a good movie. I get up at 5 AM and go to sleep when I'm tired, ensuring I get at least 8 hours of good sleep, because it's good for the mind and body. It makes you think clearly, not make snap judgements, not assume things are so without evidence, make it easier to comprehend the written word, and ensure you make a good argument when you know you are right.

I don't think you read much but just skim, like a lot do here, and make decisions based on a few words taken out of context and placed into your own misunderstandings. I'm watching "For Love of the Game", a great baseball movie, and I will go to bed when it's finished, so maybe you better slow down and not reply before you really understand a post.

Actually, I'm right on in all I've said. You're not getting the main point I'm making and that's why I asked you if English was your first language, because most anyone would understand what I said. The OP did NOT tell anyone to do anything dangerous. He DID say he did something to challenge himself, although it was a dangerous thing to do. He then, if you still haven't understood it, said, "Are you a stagnant old man or achieving challenges? Place yourself into challenges as you get older instead of doing nothing ! Please I would love to hear from you guys who climb mountains ,do very long bike rides ,cycle races long distance". Where do you interpret this as telling others to do anything dangerous, because I, nor anyone else here I'm sure, see this as so?. He's plainly asking them to, place themselves into challenges (not dangerous situations but things that challenge them), as they get older instead of doing nothing, meaning, instead of just sitting around drinking in a bar, watching TV all day long, working in the garden, going for a walk, playing ping pong, swimming in a pool, walking their dog, or a million other normal daily activities, to challenge themselves and do something they've never done, but maybe wanted to do, were afraid to try because of a fear of failing, or just wanted to live in a safe zone. You have not said anything you consider dangerous. The only thing I could think of is climbing mountains, which isn't dangerous unless you're talking about K2, which isn't climbing a mountain as much as it is possible suicide. You've said he was trying to put others in that position, and he hasn't. I see much of what I've said has gone over your head, so maybe that's also the things that are as plain as day. Many here have heard you out on some of your posts, which do sound a little out there. This is yet another one. If you don't understand what others are saying, maybe you shouldn't reply, as I do understand that some who's first language isn't English might interpret things differently than those that are. Lost in translation so to speak. It might be a good thing for you to re-read the OP's post, and see what he's asking others to do. It isn't, like you thought, to tell others to do risky things but challenging things, so they don't just do nothing as they get older. That's how I see it, and I'm sure how most others do also.

Anything you do after you leave the house involving movement could be considered dangerous. In fact, many people are hurt and killed in their own bathrooms every year. He didn't ask them to risk their lives like he did, but to tell him what they are doing to challenge themselves. What example do you consider dangerous? Climbing mountains is probably safer than taking a shower. Cycling is probably safer than walking down a Thai road. Riding a bike is probably safer than driving a scooter in traffic. You could stay on your couch eating bon bons every day but you'll probably die younger from a heart attack. So?
