Is that self pleasure while washing in a tub?

There's more to it than just losing a little weight, and it's not a fad diet like so many fly by night diet fads that have come around through the years...................https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/fasting-benefits

Sweeteners are for taste, as some food is too bland otherwise. I love coffee, but black has never been appealing, and if I'm going to drink it, it will have a touch of soy or almond milk and a bit of Equal, Stevia or Splenda. I don't use near the amount I did before, in cereal or oatmeal, as I'm concerned with the artificial part. red meat is actually very healthy, as long as you don't eat too much of the fatty kind. It has nutrients other food doesn't. If you haven't any trouble digesting it, it's okay. Dairy is out besides yogurt, as I'm trying to re-do my guy microbiota after H Pylori treatment, which destroys much of your beneficial bacteria from the 2 doses of antibiotics. I only use almond, soy or other nut milks because cow milk , which I was allergic to as a child, isn't good for humans anyway.

I agree that the artificial sweeteners might not be so healthy. I have been using them for many years, but have been trying to find better substitutes, those from more natural sources. Stevia seems to be okay, at least for now, and I've been slowly switching over to it as I've heard more about Splenda and Equal. The rest of my diet has been very clean for the last 50 years, and the only trouble I've really had has been stomach related when I had H Pylori, presumably from bad water here. Living in Texas, I rarely had anything health wise wrong. Just after I moved here. I think also meat has been the culprit here, as it's always left out all day on trays, which isn't that good. back home they shrink wrap as soon as It's cut and it's kept in coolers.

I'm wondering where does one go to find the surveys that show this high of a percentage. 90% is a very high number and that would mean you need to go to every province, every city and all areas where expats live and run surveys to be sure you get an accurate percentage. In my personal experience, I would think the number was maybe 10-15%, just from noticing how all of the expats I've run into in a social setting acted. You would still have to subtract the many who just want to keep to themselves and aren't social people anyway. In 6 years I've seen maybe three out of a couple of hundred that acted like a**holes. The rest were pleasant with some acting guarded and looking away when I approached them in a public setting. Of course some might move here because they don't want to be found out for a few reasons but that doesn't mean they are a**holes but afraid to have their cover blown.

You never know what can work until you try. Leaving Pattaya is a good idea, as those thousands of single women are only there to fleece and he's better off with an older woman who's settled and working herself, independent at least a little, and more likely to look at a foreigner as a companion.The Philippines are an idea because more speak English there, which helps a lot in a relationship. I was thinking first try Isaan or Chiang Mai, seeing he's already in Thailand and knows it's quirks.

Why send him to the Philippines? Just tell him about other large cities in Isaan or Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, where other expats live and there's a better chance he can find someone to grow old with, instead of wasting time in the sex capital of Thailand.

I just point things out exactly the way they are, and I understand people's motives and why they act certain ways. I don't need to read my posts, as I know exactly what I write. I think it's you that fails to understand you're not right, but need to go on and on with no evidence to prove otherwise. You've been called out, and proven wrong. Don't keep this going just to feed your low self esteem. Look at what you've said and try to understand that what you've been doing is just like a teenager rebelling against someone with more knowledge. Look at my other posts and you'll see what my motives are, then look at your replies and see they're just there to argue. Don't group yourself with anyone else here, as there are some who already have your number.You thinking we're all sugar daddys shows enough, and again, you know nothing about anyone else here. I don't have to label anyone. You already are seen for what you are.

Thank you.

My mom died of bladder cancer. Her doctors waited and waited, instead of removing her bladder early. It spread and that was it.

True, if they'd only let you talk and not think they're above everyone just because they did the schooling. Some people like to read up on things and gain knowledge by reading the same things doctors do, because it's a passion of theirs and not just to finish the schooling which is mandatory. I've also had to recommend some things to a few doctors, especially about the physical aspect, because that's what I've been into for 50 years. My ex wife died 2 years ago from a heart attack, seemingly brought on by the constant over prescribing of pain killers a few of her doctors did. I was here many times, trying to get them to do more follow ups on the amount of painkillers they were giving her, to no avail. She had them convinced she had constant pain, while I was living with her and seeing how she was. Addiction comes easy if your doctors help you. They actually had her on a Fentanyl patch, along with either Morphine, Vicodin or Dilaudid for "breakout" pain. They had to remove her colon because the opioids slowed her gastro system down so much. Her body couldn't take any more abuse.

Many doctors don't want to be told their business, although a patient has the right to ask any questions and might also be knowledgeable about certain ailments. Some people know more than some doctors about certain things but no one would believe you because you don't have that paper on the wall. Some are narcissists that only think what they say is right and how dare you to interfere. I've know some like that, mainly from my ex wife as I've rarely been to doctors the last 50 years. They take courses, then forget much of what they've learned and look to the book to prescribe things, much of which causes side effects. I've seen a few which actually sat down and listened to her, and me, when I put in my two cents, trying to help. No ones above seeking advice unless they think they know it all, and most don't. If a doctor makes you this uncomfortable, find another. He isn't the only skilled doctor around I'm thinking. Taking away the possibility that he doesn't like foreigners, and is just a jerk.

You can't be personal. You know nothing about anyone on this forum, even if you've met them in real life. Only a fraction maybe,because most people don't tell anyone but just a smidgen of their lives to anyone besides their closest friends, and even there. Only a coward tries to be personal here about someone's family or girlfriends, because they aren't brave enough to say things in person.

I'm thinking your problem is really the inability to comprehend what's written, and a desire to twist things around to feed your ego. You did this in other topis, thinking you're a pizza expert because you had pizza in Italy, and I only said that NYC pizza was SOME of the best worldwide, which it is. You troll, just to argue, not understanding you aren't doing anything besides assuming, because with what little information you are receiving from us, you again, form your own conclusion without knowing or understanding the facts. My relationships are real, and most of them have been. Some ,like my ex here, were transactional, even though there was attraction on both sides. I could say your girlfriend is a concubine, but I'm not that dense, thinking I actually know what's going on in your life from just a few words typed on a forum. You're missing the point of all of this. Not all relationships are transactional, even here. Most here probably are, but again, unlike you, I don't assume.

Actually, again, you're assuming. I divorced her to get my child back home, after she kidnapped her 4 times, which is illegal in most developed countries and not here, mainly because the care they have for children here doesn't come close to matching the care we have in western countries. To this day, yesterday in fact, she wants to come back, and my daughter said this in front of her. It's hard to explain to a 7 year old, but I'm feeling that now also, that one does not go back to someone you can't trust, no matter how good looking they are, because your own sanity is worth more than the torment a covert narcissist can give you through years together. My girlfriend now also looks at foreigners the same way as most Thai women do, but in the almost 4 years we have been together, with her knowing good English and being a very smart lady, she's understood that a man's worth isn't how much money he has but how he treats his loved ones. She knows I treat her better than her husband did, and from what she hears from her friends here, better than how they are treated by their men. I help her because I want to, not because I have to, and she also does the same. Not a transaction like most here. More like being comfortable together.

You aren't too bright assuming you know what others here are doing in their personal lives, unless they specifically tell you. I'm thinking you're also paying for things for your girlfriend to have her stick around, because if you aren't, she will find someone that's not so cheap very easily here. Or can you agree that what you have is a transactional relationship, whereas some here have a relational relationship, where both are givers? What makes his a sugar daddy and not yours?

Assuming like a few here, that you know what I'm doing in life or with my girlfriend. I help her, she helps me. My ex wife was financially dependent on me, and lost because of her behavior. You really don't understand the concept of providing over paying, so best to let it go. Look back at your own childhood. Did your father pay for everything or was he providing for his family. Were you a pet or a son? Was your mom a slave or a wife? Do you not understand what a husband and father's roles are?

I did agree with his feeling that in Thailand, most are transactional, as this is a poor country where women have been fed a lot of BS about us and think that's all we're here for. Living in tourist areas, I'm sure that's exactly what goes on and how most think.

Providing isn't the same as paying. When you're with someone you love, you do whatever it takes to protect and care for them. You can be providing a home for her and your children, food, clothes, bills paid, other necessities and pleasures. If your mindset is that you're paying for this, then you look at a relationship as a transaction, where you need to get something back for what you pay. A relational relationship means you provide because you love them, want them happy, safe, protected, healthy and in a good place where they'll learn life lessons. If she believes the same way, she is also a relational person, and not one that thinks you're only there for your finances. Many of course are like this, and greedy behavior only breeds more of the same. This is why I said finding a real relationship is the hardest thing anyone can do, because many go into relationships thinking what it can give them, and not what they can bring. If what I post is nonsense to you, that shows you can't understand thinking beyond your own self. People might all be transactions to you. They aren't to me, and I'm not near alone in this thinking.

Actually it's more likely a narcissist, by their actions, either don't believe in God or aren't following what his word preaches. Their idea in life, learned from an abusive , neglective or spoiled childhood, is that people are to be used, cheated on and left, like they are objects without feelings or needs.

I'm not in a circle of bible bashers. I just believe from faith and common sense. Teaching, again, isn't brainwashing. There are specific reasons people stop believing in God, or possibly they were never taught as children, which is when most hear about him. Some have had religion forced on them by abusive parents, and as soon as they got out of the house, that hatred towards their parents went along with the non belief of God. Everyone rebels from parents, but when a parent loves and treats a child with love, care, respect and no abuse, that child is more likely to follow the parent's guidance. Some have lost a loved one and think God was to blame, so they turn away. Some believe in scientists, who say evolution happens. It doesn't matter if it did or not.The fact is, the universe could not have happened by itself. Scientists have said it was a big bang, but a big bang doesn't create matter from nothing. God made all things happen, including this big bang, a creation, and he had a plan which anyone can see. Some are so closed minded and can't look at the miracles of life itself, from the brain and how it works to all the different species of plants and animals that co-exist here, and that all we need to survive in life just happens to all be here on earth, a certain distance from the sun. All from nothing? Hardly. You don't need science to back up what common sense shows us. God made those scientists and half of them believe in God anyway. Again, you can believe there's nothing after this life, and we will all find out, but imagine a world of people thinking like you do, doing anything they want with no repercussions either here or after. A world full of people who can kill those who have hurt them and steal, rape and pillage, knowing since there's no afterlife, who cares? Kinda lucky so many have the fear and faith in God.

I always give a lot, and you have to because giving less than 100% in a relationship shows them you aren't really into it, thinking they can be replaced if they make a mistake, which all do. P4P works for your sexual needs, but doesn't give you the closeness a real relationship gives. Picking the right partner is the hardest thing to do, but when it happens, it's worth the wait, even if it's decades.

When a divorce happens, it's already too late to do the things you both should have done to maintain the relationship, and it takes two. When people divorce, revenge is on many minds, to get even with those who have somehow hurt you, instead of looking back and seeing it was for the best, and moving on with someone who appreciates you for who you are instead of how much you bring to the table, meaning assets and not care. That's where a relationship was transactional and not relational, because relational lasts a lot longer, and is many times permanent. All a man has to do is admit what he did wrong the last time, and stop that behavior in future relationships, and find a woman that does the same. Most everyone carries baggage from childhood, and some never get over it and use that anger to hurt others in the future. Problem is, most people's character is developed by the time they are around 30, and change isn't easy.

Everything costs money, but taking care of your woman and family isn't about money. Providing is a man's job. I prefer providing for instead of paying for a woman's attention. They and I know the difference, and greed is something I leave fast. It's easy to spot, and never lasts as you can't please people who look at others as ATM's. Gold and cash never make people happy. They only buy things that wear out. Trouble is, real people who are looking for love and a comfortable relationship are the hardest thing to find, and most will never have it.

I can say the same thing, waiting for you to post data that supports your 99%. It's wrong, and if you read what I posted, it wasn't my words and can easily be researched. As far as God, no one has evidence he doesn't exist and looking at what the universe has, common sense shows it could only be created and was part of a plan. I worship God and not a man made religion. Teaching children about God isn't brainwashing but educating them. Free will means you can always choose your thinking and actions. Sexual abuse isn't limited to priests as anyone who is well read and watches the daily news knows. This isn't about religion anyway. You believe what you want and you'll find out the truth when you pass, as we all will.
