Can we hear more about the greasy-thing? What, in your estimation, warrants the greasy-diss? Otherwise, I envy Stoner his chilled out bliss. Intoxication is over for me. Sometimes, like when reading this, I miss it.

Why couldn't you just use the brains that god gave you, write off the pittance for the prepaid Air BNB, and go get a better room for $30 a night? On your once in a life time vacation? Medical fear seems to be the big boomer-spending inhibitor. But what about death? Maybe you shoulda ordered the bigger prawn.

I stopped making my own protein shakes and iced tea and now get them delivered from 7/11. More drinkable, less hassle, call it 120 baht a day now mercifully gone Along with ice. For most of my life, the prospect of buying ice was unthinkably spendthrift.

-So says The Economist. This generation of pensioners is not spending nearly as much as past generations. 10% less, and it's lowering inflation and interest rates as that unspent cash rolls over into savings. Reason: 1) fear of out-living their money due to increased life spans 2) wanting to leave money to their heirs 3) stay-at-home habits from Covid are sticking 4) oldies feel glutted with possessions and want no more Are you a net-saver well into retirement? Why? Which reason above affects your spending? Me first: I spend about 70% of my monthly allotment. The rest is re-invested. I expect to live for about 15 more years (no $$$ prob). No heirs. I eat out in a nice Nimman restaurant for my main meal every day. I ran out of stuff to buy (I have 16 nice polo shirts). I splurge a little on travel (premium economy flights these days) and I give a bit away. -And how has living in cheap Thailand affected your spending? I go to the doctor at the drop of a hat now that it's only 500 baht for the office visit.

-Ever been?

Brazil is sort of the Thailand of South America. 'Can't wait. Since I killed Dubai as a layover option, any Brazil or S.American reflections would be appreciated.

Def burn through a few in a town you don't plan to live in first.

Uh-huh.

They gotta feel attracted. Personality-wise, you may want to look into other attractiveness gambits.

Yesterday.

Since you just arrived on Planet Earth, Wiki can help you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_metaphors_for_sex

Do you even believe -or even have the capacity to recall- a single thing that you say? Very Trumpian with the hilarious amnesia. I think you get ahead of your skis here. A lot.

A woman in my writer's group wrote a story about how she wanted to be spanked. By an older man. Chinese, on a Elite Visa. 40's, not bad. I put my long odds there as better than Bignok's forays into pestering women at the payment-card cashier's counter at a food court. Hey, if he's right, I may well be a happy man.

Asking someone who claims he sleeps with 1 in 3 women he makes casual eye contact with is unhealthy obesssion?

So no dating sites for you (crazy climb down there -even for you). 1 in 3 cold approaches for a food court snack results in naked time? Assuming dental hygiene is up to snuff?

You just said, like six posts up, that you have this mind-blowing success solely by using dating sites. Do you even let them have a frappachino? Or is your sheer animal magnetism and a bottle of water enough to peel off their dresses?

I'm going to make a bold prediction that no magic dating site is going to be named and that the stupendous 1 in 3 hit ratio is going to remain very, very vague as to the how-to.

What is the holy grail dating site for finding frappachino sluts who don't even want to finish their stupid cold drink before demanding sex? I looked at Thai-Friendly too. Fairly worse than Tinder. I asked my friend if he ever saw a white woman on a Thai dating site. He said no.

4 frappachino lottery tickets and then one of them is sitting on my face? I have my doubts. I looked on my friend's Tinder In Chiang Mai, I couldn't even find 4 frappachino candidates. And I set my age minimum to 50.

30,000 baht extra to do it as two round trips (BKK-Dubai/Dubai/São Paulo) instead of 2 miserable long hauls in premium economy. Call it 7-8,000 baht a day on the ground, so call it 60,000 baht for the seven day of layovers, coming and going. 90K baht buys a better week in BKK. Or more than all of my land costs in São Paulo. Dubai is Euro-prices for a sub-par Las Vegas experience, a Vegas with no gambling and $15 beers.

How many cold coffee-approaches do you need to do to get 20 minutes of frappachino time? How many Tinder dates to get to date #3, where girlfriend-dom can find its shakey legs? I'm not dissing you, I am curious about your experience.

Hard to move from, "nice shoes", to "'time for a coffee?", to "lay down". Generally, you need to be in a setting where you see each other casually a few times. "Walking around" has a very low success rate. -Partic for the older and average-looking.

A hundred bucks for a cheap room. And yeah, it's too hot. It's too hot to wait outside for an Uber. Call it a day to travel. BKK flight leaves at 9:30 AM, gets in at 7:30 PM. Two days to mall-walk and visit some souks when it cools off. Another day to go to the so-so semi-Louvre. And the big mosque. On average, I'm good for about 10 minutes -if it's a major mosque. On the way back, maybe I'd book a two nights at the beach. But at quadruple Thai rates for a much less good beach experience. 15 hours to São Paulo, Brazil, BTW. 6 hours further to BKK. Flying from BKK to SP with a short stop over in Dubai is only 24 hours, so I'm rethinking if the juice of laying over is worth the boring-mall squeeze and paying triple for hummus. The diff between a 15 hour flight and a 24 hour one is basically 1 extra mg of Xanax. Dating fun facts: 3-5 men for every single woman in Dubai. Mostly, you'll be hooking up with Filipina's. Strong gold digging vibe (per Reddit). The Arab local women bring you into honor-killing territory. I am psyched that I'm not looking. São Paulo, Brazil is a mecca of big-bottomed, very intellectual women (per my friend). Downside: little English spoken, you must speak Portuguese.

When I went to Oman, I dealt almost entirely with Bangladeshi's, the Omanis being too posh to work. I expect Dubai will be the same. ME food is my fave, but I can hop on one foot to decent hummus in Chiang Mai. I have experienced the endless sand dune thing twice this year. Call it 4 days, including a day tour to see The Louvre, which won't be great like the real Louvre. The only rational layover places between here and Brazil are Istanbul (been 3 times, it's OK) and Addis Abba (curious, but there's the getting hit over the head-factor there). Google tells me that escorts are $300 for short time, and that's the low end. You can go African for $200, and Russian (or someone pretending to be Russian) for $500.
