  1. i don't think they work out often. the lady usually ends up finding a younger guy. the reasoning being, they want to be taken care of rather then the other way around.
  2. So why are you here, everything you needed was in your head back in your native country 🤣.
  3. Ditto for the adults. One becomes like the locals eventually, unless you have a tight group of expats around and stick exclusively to that group for socialization.
  4. no wonder then that they are always complaining
  5. why? the sewage backs up when it floods.
  6. The usual driving excuse again. Driving behavior is not a one-off. It's a reflection of your inner state. If you're irritable, rushed, impulsive & angry, it's reflected in the way you drive. Maybe you are fooled by fake smiles when people are outside a vehicle.
  7. What happened to him?
  8. My problem with that is I can't really just ignore the locals. I live in a city condo and need to go out everyday and interact for life necessities and to live life. i'm not exactly pestering local thai's for friendship or whatever. It did work much better when i had that villa in chiang mai where i was much happier. it was gated and i felt much more relaxed and happy there. like you said, more just an escapism living situation. maybe that's my answer. go back to the more isolated living situation like before. seems now like i'd rather be bored sometimes there, then irritated like i am now.
  9. It's staff trying to make it look like it's busy 😅 Standing out in front, playing loud music, etc. They all crowd around down there and look rushed and busy, but there is no money coming in. Just like the motorbike guys who stand in groups at the corner. If you actively watch, very few people are actually getting rides. It just looks busy because they are calling out to people and you are distracted by people driving erratically and the traffic noise.
  10. Dealing with Bs has a cumulative effect. You may be older but that just means it's built up more, not because you are changing your views.
  11. I'm tired of your rambling.
  12. he was interested in working out, not sex arnold schwartzeneggar said in "pumping iron" that the high he got from working out was as good as sex. he was getting off working out. in other words, he was cumming almost all day every day. it's in his rio de janiero interview.
  13. i think that's true. a lot of the irritation i get is from people acting kind of dumb or not "getting it". sometimes it's so dumb that i think they are acting that way to irritate me or as some sort of passive-aggressive behavior, which makes things worse and irritates me even more. i'm getting much better at just walking away and laughing it off, but when it happens all the time it's annoying.
  14. Well, I guess i would not mind them if they were not living closeby and I was never around them 🤣. I'm talking in general terms, like you say "many bad apples", not each and every person I come across. When the annoying interactions outweight the positive ones there is a problem.
  15. if anyone's wondering, i don't think these guys are offering anything in particular. it's more of a handyman situation where they help you out with whatever you need at the time.
  16. I think that's part of my issue. I'm picking up on, or overly sensitive, to other people's problems, even if it's just a vibe and not outright requests for money or whatever. That's a lot of what problems are, they get transfered from one person to another, "your problems, become their problems".
  17. I no longer want to be around thai people. I'm finding them annoying and just not enjoyable to interact with. They seem to be in a rush, stressed out, etc. Is it time for me to move?
  18. why? just get a hotel and look for a new place. unless you are mobility impaired it does not really matter how old you are. if you're just of moving i can understand that, but that can happen at any age.
  19. I always thought that was due to building up your body, so your penis just appears smaller in proportion to your body. It's pretty obvious that many competition bodybuilders are not exactly hanging in that department. Arnold Schwartzeneggar is pretty small down there in many of his competition shots.
  20. https://bbcincorp.com/offshore/articles/countries-with-best-offshore-bank-accounts
  21. i would be suspicious of the person who is relaying the numbers, or maybe they leave the card or the photos sitting around carelessly and visitors or a household member gets it. a truly hacked number by a stranger is very rare. i have never had it happen to me personally.
  22. Like he said. The reason I don't drive here. Still at risk walking though.
