TBH you're wrong, but I can surely spot those that do. One of the things I do have knowledge of is psychology. How and why people do things. A person doesn't study psychology, especially of issues like narcissism and depression because they're a narcissist. Quite the opposite, as I know personally people I have tried to, and helped, with depression. The narcissists, who I've read about for over two decades, are quite easy to spot. They have certain habits they learned from being abused, spoiled and or neglected as a child. Things they can't get rid of because there is no cure. Your words.............."I'm still not going to bother to read nor respond to anything you 'reply'. Just the mere fact that you are trying to carry on a conversation with someone who isn't interested in engaging with you tells me enough"............ Yet you keep coming back, saying you're not reading what I wrote, skimming, and still feel the need to reply. This proves my point .And deflection is another symptom. Trying to prove it's the other person who's the narcissist. Doesn't work with me.

Easy then. Don't troll what I say in posts. Don't assume you know anything about anyone here. Admit to yourself I prove you wrong and don't take offense because I have more knowledge on a subject. Problem is, you will come back again, likely with a new username, just to argue.

Yes, and each post is pointing out exactly what you've been all along. You not reading them is all anyone needs to know about your type. And I can say exactly the same thing about your posts. Difference is, you've been wrong since day one, and still are.

Again, you assume, and still haven't the sense to see it. Saying you're a troll is a fact, as your replies are the definition of the term. How do you know you arrived here before me, and have more experience in anything? That's assuming. Where do I present myself as an expert in anything? I do have knowledge on some topics, so I go to them to help. This is what others do also, to help. If you actually knew the definition of a narcissistic personality, you would know they aren't on this earth to help but to use others. People who intentionally hurt others to boost their low self esteem. People who keep coming back, to argue with someone who has proven them wrong before, because that low self esteem can't take being proven wrong. Your opinion about me means nothing, especially seeing you're always wrong. You didn't read beyond the first line exactly for this reason. That IS skimming, and even when you do get involved in a conversation, you aren't using research but only that opinion, along with your many assumptions, which are again, always wrong. I don't have to show you anything. You won't bother to take the time to research my postings, because you'll find the truth. I proved you wrong first off about the pizza thing, when you used one of your alter egos, and you feel the need to keep coming back in many of my postings, just to try and prove me wrong. This you still haven't done, but you still keep coming back. Troll.

If you spent more time researching and less trolling, you would take the time to see all of my posts, and see how many times I've helped others. Skimming is one of your traits, completely missing the points I've made, and only going by what limited knowledge you have on certain subjects and not facts, which is what I do. Like you said, speak for yourself. You came as a backpacker and no one you know came for the women. How many expats do you actually know? And you believe what they've said that it's not for the women, although they live in a tourist area. How many here on this forum have said they've come here for the women? Many. How many here came otherwise? A few that I've seen said it's because of the lower cost of living. That's what they said, although it might not be the real reason. If they made it in their country, they could have stayed I'm guessing. How many expats do you think I know that said the same thing? You assume many things but never have any evidence. Did I say I came for the women? You assume I was a sex tourist, although in many of my posts I've said I'm against prostitution and using women. If you would look at more than a couple of my posts you would have already noticed this. I actually came here to visit Thailand and see the sights, which I did. In the meantime, while I was staying at a hotel in Isaan, I met my future wife, which was a mistake on my part I admit to. A daughter was born, so I moved here because , as I said, she didn't want to leave Thailand. Later, and fairly recently, she thought different, until she found another farang she met online who she married. Trolling is your way and not mine. Others have seen this all along, both in this username of others you've used. Where have I insisted I'm right about everyone else? That's assuming from skimming and again, missing the point. You do know that assuming things about others, such as them being a sex tourist, is akin to calling them names too right? Maybe you don't, because you always come back, thinking you're right, when all along you've been wrong on every topic. This is because I keep proving you wrong, and your ego can't handle that. You say no floozies, but you live at a tourist area. Why is this? I could act like you and assume it's because of the floozies there. I know some like beach areas, so that could be your reason, or not. Your statement.... "You then extrapolate that to everyone. No. It's just you and others like you. Old men hooking up with younger Asian women. You. Those are the only people you know and meet. No one else will have anything to do with you in real life. So you won't meet 'normal' people and only assume what you know, as everything" You're assuming all I know are old men hooking up with younger Asian women. They are all the people I know and meet. No one else would have anything to do with me. Lmao If you only knew just how many "normal" people I know and are friends with, you would dry up and blow away. .But keep on assuming, because that's a trait of a closed minded, un educated person with an agenda.

There are a few reasons one loses control of a vehicle. Drunk, on the phone, talking to or arguing with others and looking away from the road, falling asleep at the wheel, driving too fast for the road conditions, all of which many do, including teens.

Thai food by nature is healthy. How some prepare it isn't. The large amount of seed oils is not healthy. Too much sodium isn't either. Many use, and die, from using raw fish, pla ra, in Som Tam. Over 60,000 cases of cancer reported a year now. Eating rice every meal might sound healthy, and is a staple here, but with the amount of diabetes cases here, it's not a good choice that often. I've eaten Thai food for decades before moving here, and it's just as good or better in restaurants back in the US, and the quality control is a lot safer, with meat not left out all day to be exposed to bacteria and insects. It is one of the tastiest foods we have worldwide.

I don't, but who would you choose? No country should have one person in charge. Many times history has proven a malignant narcissist or sociopath has been a leader, and chaos followed.

Might try getting out of the house awhile. Ask any foreigner why they came here to stay. A small percentage because they were escaping prosecution, another because they didn't want to pay support of some kind. Some because they could afford more here. Most for the women. Of course the percentage is higher for tourists, especially the men. Why do you think farangs live anywhere here besides the beaches? Why do you think the majority lives in the beach (tourist) areas? I wasn't speaking for myself. although I did move here because of a female. My daughter mainly, because my ex didn't want to leave her family. A family she despises. You came here to get far away from what? A woman that didn't want any more to do with you perhaps? By the way, what took you so long? I've posted for a few days and your trolling only started with this post.

Nothing to do with being better. More educated, better technology, and further ahead in thinking because of it. Look around and see how things are run here. The corruption is much higher, the justice system is decades behind in their thinking. Law enforcement is lacking. The road department is unskilled. People come here for the women. If that wasn't there, they would come to visit , see the sights and leave. Some might stay because things are cheaper, meaning the cost of living. The majority wouldn't. Thailand is far behind in every facet. You never lived in the US, so all you go by is what you see on videos . Hiso Thais stay here because they have a lot of money to get whatever they want. That makes any place a lot easier to live. Thousands of rich Asians live in the west. Thousands of those just getting by do also. It's a much better way of life. Western schools are the best worldwide. Local schools here, besides the international ones, pale by comparison. Safety for children is severely lacking, as up to 70% of female students are molested by the time they're 17. In the US it's 11%, which is another huge reason I will leave with my daughter. Prospects for the average person here are nil. Lack of care...........

People wear, and have been wearing shorts for generations. Nothing to do with being a gentleman but weather. If it's hot, you wear what's comfortable. It doesn't matter what others think because their opinions mean nothing. Unless you are wearing clothes that reveal too much for a particular situation, like the church ,temples or a business meeting, you be yourself. I'm actually a well educated American gentleman, which means I treat women with respect.

I, and most others who live here and in warm climates, wear shorts daily. What's wrong with that?

Beards are a personal thing. Doesn't mean anything besides that. Some can't grow them and some can. Nothing to do with being a man because that's all about how you treat others, especially women and children. Some look better because they hide a weak chin, bad skin or not handsome looks. Some women love them, some don't. Whatever makes you confident you use.

One, Frank

Actually, this survey shows what most of them have over the years, I saw Korea as always the top but this one says Thailand is.............https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/penis-size-by-country.

It's not that they do it intentionally. It's just is what it is. If you live in a dirty house, it's because you aren't a clean person to begin with. When my daughter goes back to her mom and grandma's house, she isn't taken care of like she is here, and her diet is much the same every day. I can't remember how many times she's gotten lice staying there, and if this was the US, she would have been given to me as primary caretaker from the very beginning, but living in squalor is a way of life for many, so it isn't in the court's minds when making that decision. The woman gets them, always.

They would do, and do, most anything to be just like us.They've adopted everything western is all about. Their TV's, computers, cars, trucks, phones, pop music, TV shows, and lifestyle mirrors western. There aren't many things that are actually made here in Thailand, especially that are exported besides rice. canned pineapple, tuna and cassava. Greed is a household deal here, with much of their praying to Buddha about cash and gold. Westerners might be greedy also, but greed in a poor country abounds, as most want what others have. We move here mostly knowing what Thailand is all about, as many of us hear news about this country years before we ever come here. Thais don't know much about other countries because their school system doesn't teach much, and their ideas about western life is skewed by some letting them think we are all rich, which is far from the truth. Up to 70% of school girls are molested by the time they are 17, which is nowhere near the 11% in the US. A large amount of children grow up with no contact or support from their fathers. Yes, in other countries many dad's don't care much, but they do make a better effort at contact and support is mandatory. Foreigners would like to see more improvement here of course because this is a developing country far behind in it's thinking and actions, and the people here suffer for it. If you think most here are happy you'd be wrong. They get by, daily, on very little and many turn to drugs and alcohol because of the sheer boredom of life here. Yes, greed is not a substitute for happiness, but having more daily needs and a better pay scale is a necessity and not a luxury. If it wasn't for foreign tourism this country would suffer even more, and if you took away the purchased women, it would be very little besides the beaches and food.

How many women are you protecting mainly targeting hookers for your sexual escapades, some of who might have been trafficked into that trade?

Questions. Is it any of your business how much anyone spends for food? Why do you consider a person cheap if they want to save money? Being frugal is always a smart idea because one never knows when they might run into trouble and need a lot of their savings to get out of that trouble. People who comment like this are actually bragging that they have more money to spend than others. How they came into that money is the real question. Did they work a job that was helping others or the earth, or was it taking advantage of others, raping the earth's resources or moving rich people's cash around so they make a profit doing really nothing useful for the average man?

Had both done, my firsts, at a government hospital in Sisaket province. Everything cost 7000.

You do realize people have to go outdoors for a lot of things right? Shopping, eating out, doctor appointments,etc. Complaining is the only way things are changed, but it's the locals that need to complain. They won't listen to foreigners because it isn't our country. Being controlled has most locals not wanting to complain, so things that need to be changed will never happen, unless it affects the rich in charge. The same goes for driving on the roads and the daily deaths and injuries. There has to be a care for things to stop. Talking about things doesn't change anything. Students will fall off buses and others will continue to be killed by inadequate maintenance on them. There is only one way to stop the pollution. Stop burning altogether. It isn't necessary as there are other methods of using the chaff from rice and sugar. People think it's okay because "everyone" does it. Staying indoors all day long is what many officials do, so they think they aren't affected. What you can't see can kill you, as lung disease takes time to kill. You don't adapt. You eliminate the problems.

It affects people who go outside, so I understand why you would say that.

I use plastic bags and bring them to the closest collection spot about 6 kilos away. Our village and others near here also have no collection service. Another thing the government should be paying for instead of trying to buy submarines and planes they'll never need.

I tell my girlfriend about them but she doesn't get it that everything you see, especially consistently, is an influence.

Many women here are raised without fathers. This has them seeking out the perfect absent father or one who was abusive and neglected her. Co dependency happens a lot in these circumstances because that's all the girl knows. She also sees this with her friends, where they are also treated bad. They see this on TV, where the Lakorns have hero men who rarely exist in real life here fighting the bad men because they are treating the woman with abuse. Attraction to others isn't a choice and this leads to bad choices as it did in my own life. True, she should move, immediately and not look back, as it only gets worse.
