  1. I’ll look back in in a couple of days and let you continue to just dribble all over another thread that people might find useful. -If you weren’t in it.
  2. It’s great to get a range of experiences here. 12 K seems to be the Bangkok price after calling a couple of places. It’s for 2 shots a week. I am told I will notice the difference by Saturday. I would not feel confident to diagnose the amount I need and inject myself. Also, I am happy to pay a premium to ensure that I am getting a quality product. The doctor at the clinic said that hair loss is only at extremely high doses. I’m going to be on a very low dose.
  3. What signals caused you to bail or forge on when talking to the forex agent? What’s the age difference typically? What about the fact that the more good-looking they are, the more likely they are to already have a boyfriend?? What’s your ratio of conversion from a friendly jokey approach, to motivating them to have a coffee with you, and then seeing them after that? In my seven month search, I probably cold approached like this a dozen times, resulting in one coffee date with a good looking middle-aged Thai woman at a perfume counter she was married, but enjoyed the bit of flattery.
  4. My new 58-year-old partner has a small business. She does fairly well at it and I will invest a small sum to help her grow it a bit. We cannot predict our future together, but at her age, her chances to make a change in her livelihood are sharply diminishing. Shoring her up and improving her financial independence is a no-brainer. Her long-term goal is to bring on board a family member to do a lot of the grunt work to allow her more leisure time. That would definitely suit me. We started talking about a future together and then decided to table the discussion for a full year while we get to know each other better. To the people here who have had a spouse who has not worked for a long time, how do you re-introduce the topic?
  5. I think you are talking about the place I went to a dozen times. The Taye Restaurant. I’ve eaten in a dozen Ethiopian restaurants around the world, mostly in Washington DC, New York, and Paris. This is in the top three such restaurants I have tried, including a five star one in Paris. They definitely grind their own spices, which you can also buy. It’s a modestly pretty room to eat in as well with the beautiful Ethiopian art on the walls. I had three Tinder dates there, obviously with white women. No double way does a Thai woman want to go out for Ethiopian food on the first date, or maybe even the millionth date.
  6. Again, the incontinent, butt sniffing Soi dog has nothing to say on the topic, but RainMan is twitching in his usual autistic manner to remind us all that he is here. He knows nothing of this subject, but he cannot leave it alone. He must make even North African food solely about him reacting to it negatively. Even though he has never eaten it. There’s an Ethiopian restaurant near a bum run grad hospital that I’ve eaten in a dozen times. I agree with Northland Ryan, it is all basically similarly tasting glop, soaked up with a spongy brown wonder bread type bread. What makes a great Ethiopian restaurant is whether or not they make their own Berber spice. Back in the states, Washington DC is renowned for having a whole street of Ethiopian restaurants. They shine best in the seafood department getting a Mediterranean flavor with a lot of olives and preserved lemon like Moroccan food. If I live near Ethiopian food, I would have it about every other week. Since I lived at the Chidi mansion at the bottom of Soi 11, I had it a dozen times in a month. Not much variance between the dishes, so get the mixed plate. Mark Weins does have a hard to take presentation manner, but it is memorable, and he does give you the food facts and describe how things taste very vividly We went to Ginger house in Chiang Mai after watching one of his videos, and the mixed northern appetizer plate was like a college course on the subject. You cannot go wrong going to any place that he recommends. We also went to the Khao Soi place he recommends since we had a car, and it was definitely a cut above Mai Sai Khao Soy behind the Maya Mall.
  7. Side effects are minimal, and the pre-consultation was very thorough, accompanied by a blood test. The long-term effect is that your body stops making its own testosterone. Therefore, getting off of it requires some stepping down and dosage overtime and a period of readjustment, which will include a lot of fatigue and some weight gain. The longer you are on it, the longer the step down period would be to get off of it. So it’s like weight loss drugs in that you should really do your research before buying into it. But as long as you have 12,000 baht a month, you could stay on it forever with no real downside
  8. Due to my new relationship, I started taking testosterone and B12 shots today. Apparently, there will be a new spring in my walk by Saturday. I will report back. Is anyone else taking this supplement? Is anyone else doing anything to preserve or enhance their libido? Many people here have generously shared that the bloom is definitely off the rose in their long-term relationships. How do you maintain this aspect of keeping your relationship healthy? Do you notice any difference in dealing with keeping the fire going here compared to back home?
  9. Siem Reap feels like a mini Chiang Mai to me, so I can see how it would appeal, particularly with the low prices Anyway, I finally connected with a nice Thai woman on Tinder: an immigration lawyer, age 58, fluent in English, formally married to a westerner. Very petite, ultra lush brown hair, a solid eight looks wise with a very sweet disposition. It’s been six weeks, we’ve taken too long getaways. We will probably end up together. Thanks to all for participating in this thread.
  10. I always prefer the vegetarian mixed platter.
  11. During the 80s AIDS era, there was a funny story in New York Post about how I see were Picketing a gay bath house and a bunch of them came running out It’s a running joke in the New York area, but they’re all perverts
  12. In New York City, the hassid Jews were always getting busted in gay bath, houses and stuff. And tons of underage stuff too. It’s just not that great to ever be completely orthodox and then some within a major faith group. religion is toxic above a medium dose.
  13. I just saw it in another thread Rain man Stuck like a broken record asking how much is a can of Coke over and over again. But I’m not here for empathy, I’m here for laughs. If they want empathy and understanding for their mental deficiencies, they should be in the Special Olympics, not here.
  14. A lot of it is just untreated autism. Arguing with them is 100% pointless given that fact. Everyone here knows explicitly who I am talking about, but he is not alone.
  15. Impotent, dim wttted rage appeals to impotent dim witted rageoholics. Who knew? It cracks me up how insubstantial it all is, just a lot of regurgitated blather and butt hurt posturing on complicated issues by complete know nothings. I enjoyed it recently when some moron was waving off the economist as a bad source. The odds that this miscreant has ever read an issue of the economist are zero.
