Zelensky's wife is really a transgender woman. She competed in the Moscow Olympics as a man in Featherweight Boxing.

Yah, the Samsung Galaxy has really elevated our happiness levels to hitherto unknown levels. Before I fall asleep at night I always say a little prayer for WhatsApp, without it I don't think I could have ever found true happiness. To be fair, we are living through a golden age in pornography though, there is now content the likes of which would have made even the Marquis de Sade blush with embarassment. So it's not all bad.

Trump could crown himself emperor. All he has to do is start a political coup d'etat. The military is key. He has to get the backing of key military figures. If they acquiesce nothing can stop Trump from becoming emperor for life.

It really was a good post. Stephen here, did not vet. His story shows what can happen in Asia. He paid the ultimate price. A very sad story.

Well, I am 53. it's not like I'm 18. But seriously, the 80s were the best decade. It was not just the great movies, Karate Kid, Back to the Future, Top Gun, Rambo, Ghostbusters, Coming to America, Rocky 3, or the great music, Can you imagine "I just called to say I love you" now? It's unthinkable. It really was a more innocent time. Uptown Girl, Imagine, songs that have stood the test of time. No Me Too, no social media, no mobile phones. And me riding my stallion in the pine forest, slaying on the basketball court, on my first date with Nicola, making friends for life. What a time it was. I would give anything to go back to the 1980s. Things are way worse now.

Masks are cringeworthy. It basically says "I am opting out of normal society because I am a very precious flower and more valuable than you filthy germ carrying parasites". I need to protect my specialness against the vile germs the rest of you spit around. Except if you wear it against pollution, that's different and I completely understand that.

So I am on Bumble. A photo comes up. Of a girl. Wearing a mask. On Bumble. She put a profile photo of herself. Wearing a mask. I mean what the literal fk? Swipe left!!!

Morality also changes and develops. So presumably what would have got you into heaven in the last 3 years could have prevented you going to heaven 70 years ago. If moral maturity is the threshhold to enter heaven. It is not like morality has stayed the same for all eternity.

Thai girls are very clever. Just because a person is not educated or has had to face poverty in life, it does not mean they are not clever. In fact, if she is attractive, the odds are she will have had FAR more experience dating than the average male, so she will be playing her cards far better than most men. Even people with a mental disorder can be inordinately intelligent.

In the US 56% of women under 30 have been diagnosed with some kind of mental disorder. https://www.afterbabel.com/p/mental-health-liberal-girls That is the West, which is rich. I suspect in Thailand, where families routinely face far greater financial challenges this percentage is considerably higher. Maybe as high as 66% or 75%. If you are in a relationship with a Thai girl under 30, your chances that she is mentally ill may not be just 1 out 2, it maybe as high as 2 out of 3. Have you ever found that everything seems to be going fine, but then out of the blue they create problems and do not act right? It is possible it is just mental illness and they do not have the skills for a relationship.

Not that surprising, a slew of Netflix Thai series deal with prostitutes at the moment.

True words of golden wisdom. The nuggets we DO find will lose their value over time. No doubt about it. So you best hope that nugget has other qualities apart from looks, hence the vetting. But you are right, only over many years will the true character come out. In adversity.

It would be best if we always assume a woman will do what is best for her. This does not mean a woman will gouge you for money and straight out ask you to pay her rent (as the mooban refugee did). But, of course they will do what is best for her. But it is not enough that you show you have money. You have to convince her that you would take care of her reliably and long term. If she distrusts you, even if she knows you have money, she would not hitch her star to your wagon. And just as we have other concerns apart from our fundamental looks preference, so does she have other concerns apart from our solvency. Are we kind, easy going, these sorts of things. So yes, all women will want to improve their financial situation. But it is about much more than that.

The problem I have with a heaven predicatred on "moral maturity" is this: Morality is perspective. Why would heaven be based on the perspective of humans of what is good and bad?

Well, it wasn't just that she was in a dire financial situation and had placed her kid with her mother. It was also the fact that she had a kid, I didn't like her personality, she didn't seem genuine, though a lovely smile, there was not much there. It was the whole package of things. But having a kid would be a non-negotiable reason to disqualify for me. And she had a kid.

Yeah, definitely don't ask them to pay their share for lunch, lol.

It's not true. Of course I have met "real" Thai women. The women I met are as real as any others, they're not holographs. Of course I have met more serious girls, who own businesses, who seek to improve themselves, whose English is better. By definition there are less of these of course. Sure you want to have fun whilst you search, but I am searching for a pearl indeed, not just having fun. Pearls, alas, are very elusive and hard to find. And you have to sift through a lot of dirt before you find the gold nugget.

She wasn't a w hore. The problem is even among non-professionals there is a lot of undesirables. This one slipped through my vetting net, because she picked up the phone in bed, naked, and agreed immediately to come to CM. So in the throes of carnal anticipation I neglected to ask if she has children, she did. She also revealed that she worked as a mobilie phone cover salesgirl in a mall and had debts and money problems and tried to ask me for money. So to me she was demoted to a "does not qualify". This is the problem, there are a lot of women out there who do not qualify. If you weed out those with children, money problems, bipoloar disorder, sociopaths, narcissists, family issues, you end up with a surprisingly small pool of girls. Even if dating apps seem to suggest an endless ocean. It is not so.

Tell me about it. I had one crazy one. 22 years old. She was in the house and all I did was tell her my ex was about to call if she could keep quiet. She starts crying, sobbing "I'm also a woman, I need someone"... and in the middle of the night, at 1.30 am, she takes her stuff and leaves my house! I live in a mooban, so she was at the security guard's house. I tell her not to be an idiot, I'll drive her to the airport tomorrow. She, crying, no I have a friend here in Chiang Mai, I will call him. Ah, so then I let her go obviously. But so embarassing with the guards. I was bringing pineapple for days.

How do you deal with the extended family? Mother? Sister?

Sound wonderful. How do you do it, you take the hand. And then?

I don't know how you can put your ear in, but okay.

Nope. It's still there.

Get like 5 boxes of Kleenex. You will cry at the end of every episode. Like a baby.

The 80s were the best decade to be alive. The best music, Alphaville, the best movies "Karate Kid"...the original not that Will Smith abomination. What a time it was to be alive.
