save the frogs

it's not that far-fetched. I'm sure there are expats like you describe in Thailand. run shady hustles or empty talk? BOTH, probably. There's both types that probably do exist. thank god I don't hang out in bars though.

no, but just did a quick google search. some factories will come up. they have their own websites. this one is in bangkok and claims to do custom furniture https://hultadesign.com/

Loads of people film in front of bars. Not sure about inside bars, though. Just ended up with the wrong bar owner or maybe it was not discrete at all since he was in the bar.

There's a Ralf on AN. Same guy?

Trump is an evil genius. Nobody can figure out what he's doing or why he's doing it. He 42 moves ahead of you.

It doesn't have to be deep conversations. But some women are so stupid it drives me nuts. Just a decent level of intelligence is required. Some men don't care too much, as long as she has a nice body. But I can't be with a vacuous idiot for any length of time. I can't do it.

Human creativity will become obsolete. Will everyone become depressed and suicidal when their talents are no longer needed?

It was never created for the average person. These schools were created by elites for the elite. A lot of US presidents went to Ivy League schools and they're total ding dongs. George Bush Jr. comes to mind.

And you thought the bar girls were bull<deleted>ters. When you talk to yourself, the bs in on a whole other level.

He has read this book. Read it and you will know.

Christopher Hitchens is con man. And what a crass book title.

Mad as a box of what? Respect frogs, man !!!

So you're defending "the norm"? And there's nothing crazy about "the norm"?

Not sure why your post got so many laughing emojis. I did know a lawyer back home who told me a lot of his lawyer friends go to parties and do cocaine. Being a lawyer is stressful? Or they make so much money they don't know what to do with it ?

what sport is that?

I think some people have criticized Mother Theresa of doing her charity work to be morally superior. I give 20 Baht to a disabled guy down the street every time I see him. He gets money for food. I don't think he will psychoanalyze my motivations.

Yes, yes, yes, a wealthy man with a fancy house and car. That's how the smart girls avoid having to work in bars, right? And who are you to make fun of these girls' noses? What do your noses look like? Privileged people from privileged backgrounds looking down on girls born in poor parts of the world. Fact is, we don't have any statistics, but I'm not convinced that the failure rates of these types of marriages are any higher than the standard marriage.

Fred's too deep for most of you clowns on here.

I played pool with a girl the other night. She didn't speak any English, so hard to gauge her personality. But she had a nice personality. She seemed nicer than 100 other non bargirl women I've met. She claims she's been there 5 months. So not the same as 5 years maybe?

Yeah but he's smart. He's getting paid for doing it.

yeah, 10 million baht house. wonder what he does for a living.

you can tell quickly who are freelancers and who are real women on dating sites.

maybe they're being ripped off? if I had that kind of money, i think there are better places to live in the world. But to each his own. To pay 13M in pattaya doesnt make sense to me.

I miss wearing my jeans, jean jacket, leather jacket, and even some of my sweaters. I miss seasons. Apart from winter. But even short bouts of winter going skiing would be fun. Not sure I want to stay in perpetually hot weather forever and ever all year round.

OP, I just had a flash of genius! The d*** contest going on in the thread made me realize that the most important personality trait you need to marry a bar girl is ... (drum roll) ... the biggest d*** in town.
