Since you like oldies, I go with the ancient brit version of Christmas Carol. Alistair Simms -never bettered in the Scrooge role. In the black and white era, the set lighting of scenes was a great art. As this trailer shows, this is one of the best lit film in film-dom.

Men are more likely than women to be truly egregious snorers.

I think of it more as an intimacy mismatch. But time is the enemy of the would-be cuddlers. As women get older, a lot of them are on the change of life and being held by you feels like being chained to a furnace. If you gotta cuddle, I can see getting one on the side who's still young enough to bear it. Male cuddlers outnumber women cuddlers by about 73 to 1.

I agree with your agreement. I don't like to gamble, but I def enjoyed the Neon sizzle of downtown Vegas. I'm not much of a boozer, but feel free to turn me loose in the New Orleans French Quarter any time. I'm not a monger, but to hang out in a bar on the back road with old perverts enjoying what may be the best days of their lives -is up there with the best of it. Whether you partake or not, Pattaya offers old-style sin in a uniquely safe setting. Long may it run. Golf courses and The Temple of Awareness are great things too. My personal Pattaya love story is about when I got dysentary in Myanmar and went there to convalesce. Some nowhere motel behind Diana Inn. I found community and support. There's a famous chicken and rice place nearby that kept me alive. I'll bet it's still there. That big shopping center across the road had a guy selling old Buddha's and amulets on the top floor (this is an old story). From talking and buying from him, I developed a 25+ year interest in Thai art and antiques. Women in bars would tell me about their their bar front shrines. Devout Thai people with good English and a willingness to talk about their stuff is rare, but not in Pattaya. Tourist police: "What are you doing with that girl?". Me: "Uh, Anthropology?".

For me, Pattaya is low rent Miami with hookers. Now that I write that down, it sounds pretty great. If it were in the states, it would be a top 5 tourist attraction.

Hang Dong Chiang Mai. Many gated communities. It has a mall with Farang in the name. Caveat: I've never been.

Indefensible, but Pringles. Partic flavored ones. Flavorwise, very inferior to chips. Crunch/texture-wise, unbeatable. Killed a small tube in a minibar the other day. Would never knowingly buy them.

I agree -barring a sleep disorder problem. This thread is about those people. But there may be other issues at play. Sleeping apart or a partner withdrawing in other ways may be a sign of disengagement. The relationship is being re-written covertly (and possibly even unconsciously) without the offended partner's consent. Maybe they feel powerless or are non-confrontational and this is their loophole to be at least a little free of you. Possibly, a sleep disorder is used as an excuse to withdraw. 'Def worth looking for other signs of sick-of-you. If she's checked out, her insomnia's realness is moot. And as Fruity says, if she's continuing to enjoy the benefits of the old relationship while edging into a new version that you don't like, that's unfair. 97% of the time, if you think that is what's going on, it is.

Why is that a hard no for you? Sleep disorders are a real thing. Women suffer them at twice the rate of men. Why'd the internet date lady say no to sharing a bed? Screwing with someone's sleep is prob worse than screwing with their diet. Asking people to go with out sleep is like asking them to go without insulin. Is it an intimacy issue for you? I sense it may be for your nude-insisting friend. Making people do what they don't want to is def an intimacy inhibitor. You also have the 100% right to want what you want.

We def have separate spaces. The living room is very neat and minimalist.The bedroom I refer to as the world's largest handbag. If I had to live in the handbag full time, not just for Netflix and sleep there, that wouldn't work.

Do you have them? Do you want them? Does she want them? Relationship expert, Cameron Diaz, says they're a must: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/20/health/sleep-divorce-separate-bedrooms-wellness/index.html Me: No. I miss her when I sleep alone. She turns the a/c down to 18, so sometimes I can see my breath in the bedroom.

I moved here from Appalachia. No GF pay day there for you, partic with your fat phobia. Hope you love Jesus. The problem may not be geography. It may just be down to You-ology.

I live in CM, and I do have to vacate my apartment for 2 months a year and either go traveling or chill out in Hua Hin. But I love Chiang Mai at the level where it's worth it. I'd rather be super-happy for 10 months a year here than so-so happy elsewhere for 12 months a year. If you're not a beach lover, CM is really the only expat game in town. And full of mixed race Thai's, who sort of run the town, who will be a better fit for you. Plus a sizable Christian community because you like 'em trad. A whitie Christian can date a Christian 10 here. This isn't another life-plan where THEY have to be super trad and you're more like trad-lite, is it? Because those logic-defying schemes comically blow up 100% of the time.

So I'm guessing that was a blowey fantasy from a disembodied head?

There is a trope here that Americans ONLY want to talk about money and how much they have. And that they will not shut up about how cheap healthcare is here (OK, that part is true). Excuse me, I have to go and prevent a German from hogging a sun bed.

His New York apartment is very seizable. Florida has homesteading laws, but they can put a lien on it if he tries to sell (the IRS already has one). If forensic accounting finds hidden wealth, the tax authorities will be suing him next. They didn't even come close to overturning the election and the world blew up -and keeps blowing up- in their dumb Trump Trash faces. Sweet.

I tossed a $20 bill into a can at Refugee World Music Day in Baltimore. Honduran women did a saucy little dance where they pretend to court by extending a pineapple to the audience. "They come every year", said the organizer, "and they come with their own pineapples". Refugee programs are pretty miniscule and usually church-based, so not much strain on taxpayers. They get two months in a motel in Baltimore. Usually, they are in some kind of employment within two days of arriving.

Donald Trump urged people to stick a light bulb up back there. So your hot GF was a million times more rational than the leader of the free world.

Don't you act in a supervisory position over Philipino cleaners who you disdain to their faces as too accomodating to the hospital? Please don't hide your considerable light under a bushel. Just to add some value, my friend is a refugee co-ordinator in Baltimore. Refugees have really helped bring that dire pit of a city back a bit. Refugees and Immigrants are very different issues. But dull facts shouldn't get in the way of entertaining stupidity.

A novel? Like 100 words? Def rode the short school bus syndrome. Maybe have a lie down after reading that. 2 parts to your crazy equation: you and them. On the them-side, I see no evidence of you learning about them. They're just trad girl cutouts. On the you-side, I see no evidence of you pondering how you might change to have an intercultural relationship. It's all just a screaming maw of I WANT. Hence, the extreme thirst diagnosis. Aint no sin to be thirsty. Like you said, in your home country, you had zero luck.

No, I am not dictating what you do. When I say, keep it to yourself, that means -to everyone else on earth- that I advise you to do so to forestall negative reactions and consequences. I'm not outraged. You made that up whole cloth. You like to have arguments with imaginary people. That indicates that most of your arguments with real people typically go nowhere. Let's review. You are: -a professional victim -prone to name calling -always a bit butt hurt and angry -fatuous in your pretend-knowledge of "culture" -can only find dysfunction relationships back home -the thirstiest man in thirst-dom Is this the profile of the kind of guy who ends up happily coupled over here? Read here about people who are living your dream. They present very, very differently from you.

This is completely barking mad paranoia. No one has "controlled" what you say. You know that. Jesus, what a whiner. You can have all the "preferences" you want. But claiming that one race is superior to another is not a preference, it is the simple definition of racism. I won't go down that stupid rabbit hole where you claim to be a PC victim of "the type of person I am" -a person who wishes you well on your zany plan and has given you good faith advice on how not to get hosed. Only the tiniest scintilla of western men move to SEA -and that's for every reason under the sun. Claiming that you are part of a mass movement, throwing off the shackles of feminism means that you need to get off of Reddit and touch grass. Your posts are full of red pill rage. Anger makes you stupid; try to be less stupid when get over here. Or not. I see some very entertaining posts from you in my future.

This is a racist statement. Benign, flattering racism is still racism. This is another sentiment best kept yourself. I am the least qualified person here to give you advice. I am married to an older white woman and live over here, BUT: My lack of need for a relationship brings high quality Thai women within flirting range of me often. If my wife dies, at least 2 of them will be getting in touch. Coming over here thirsty is a big disadvantage. And another thing you should keep to yourself. -Like Andy Capp's dumber brother above me urges.

This belief is going to cause you problems. People are pretty much morally the same everywhere. Poor people everywhere lack options and tend towards opportunism when it presents itself. The west is full of women who would be (and often already are) great moms. That you choose a place where the women are "better" and also happen to be a size two and (supposedly) deferential, indicates that pumping out a kid is not your sole, altruistic concern. Thai people will tell you what they think you want to hear -that poor person problem again. Your belief that poor, uneducated Thai women can frictionlessly solve your long running dating incompatibility issues will def make you a target for opportunists. I'm not dissing your goals or plans. I am def saying: keep them to yourself.

I hate to admit it, but if she was good looking enough........
