All Buddhist monks dress the same. Are you suggesting that everyone on the planet should wear the same orange robe? Or do you appreciate that there is diversity in clothing and do you appreciate it when you see a woman who is clothed beautifully? Beauty is one of the things that makes the world less miserable. Imagine everyone had ugly clothes on all the time. Human beings, for one thing, are attracted to beauty. We are tactile creatures with 5 senses, touch and smell and sight. If everything smelled bad, that would suck. If everything was ugly, that would suck. And clothing is one example. And beauty is one reason why material possessions are not bull<deleted>.

Speak for yourself. I was born with a cowboy hat and boots.

let us know when your liver falls out

you're grim, bob. your grim tales of pattaya remind me of edgar allen poe.

I believe your stories. Totally likely scenarios. Thanks for sharing. Seems like you're touching a nerve with people who are in denial and dont want to hear the potential negative sides of being a gigolo their entire life. Even David Lee Roth sang "nobody cares about me" in his song Just a Gigolo. So I guess no one watched the video I posted. Apparently, there were other types of arrangements that were commonly practiced before modern day marriage came along.

it's AN horror comedy hour.

Hummin, Watch this video and get back to me on your thoughts. And yes, there will be a QUIZ!

Yeah, that's a good point. It's 2 different lifestyles. Not one is better or worse than the other. Both lifestyles have pros and cons. If people on both sides are honest, they could make a long list of pros and cons of both lifestyles.

yeah, thanks for the heads up. there may be so many complications that i may not even be eligible. and the wait time is insane. maybe since covid a lot of people are applying i think.

people complain thai bureaucracy is bad. it takes months and months, if not 1-2 years to get an appointment at the consulate with these idiots

legal contract is needed to protect the woman in case the man knocks her up and leaves. you may not be planning to have a family, but it could happen by accident. she needs to be with someone she can fully trust if there is no contract as she is taking a risk.

Maybe it's not as good as it used to be, but it's still a lot better than most of the crapholes we come from.

especially when they been drinking all night long

is that a trick question?

yeah, george thorogood would be proud of you. fun fact. just watched a vlog by a retired american in thailand. he states 2 main reasons he avoids all foreigners in thailand; drum roll ... 1 - they're drunk all the time 2 - they bad mouth the Thais all the time and the Thais can vaguely catch on to what they're talking about

fairly entertaining, considering it's free

alcohol (probably) contributes to cancer risk. how many people are willing to give it up or limit to 1-2 drinks a week? not many.

Because most women expect marriage and will cut you off if you don't settle down. Marriage is still a big part of culture. Not all, though. But the pool of women who will want to date long-term and hide you from their family would be very small. You may need to go down the path of hookers. You wouldnt be the first. Mekmong Mick might be able to give you advice on that.

these types of massive projects can more easily be achieved by large countries with the biggest economies. small countries cannot compete in these types of projects because they dont have the resources if australia had 300 million people, then it would be different.

What a stupid pointless thread that's going nowhere. Again by none other than Gamma. Shut it down.

As a sports commentator used to say, predictions are for gypsies.

As I've mentioned in other threaads (and was ridiculed) ... ... If you can find alternative treatments such as herbal remedies, it may sometimes (not always) be better than going directly with medical intervention. ... as medical intervention can be fraught with problems Saw Palmetto is one such herbal remedy for this condition. So I would consider contacting a Naturopath and asking them about it and testing it out as the side effects are minimal. https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/natural-remedies#natural-treatments Saw palmetto is an herbal remedy that comes from the fruit of a type of palm tree. It’s been used in alternative medicine for centuries to relieve urinary symptoms, including those caused by an enlarged prostate. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)Trusted Source, a few small-scale studies have suggested that saw palmetto might be effective for relieving BPH symptoms.

there's a few geniuses in every country. most of us never invented anything.
