I did change, so what are you on about? I gave up sugar as much as possible which was and still is a battle. I see no mental health improvement from losing over 10 kg and back to weight in 1990s when I really was fit. To be honest I'd rather be fatter and able to enjoy sugary food than live without. I'm never going to get laid by an attractive woman again so why would I care anyway? BTW I was never clinically obese, just overweight.

Losing weight was easy for me and all I did was giving up eating sugar at the amount I ate it before. I also did no more exercise of any sort than previously. However, I've never been a glutton. I repeat- I did NOT eat less. I just gave up sugary drinks, chocolate, cakes, sweet biscuits, the cream buns, etc and things like pizzas and white bread which are easily converted to sugar in the body.

I'm trying not to be personal, but if I had to give up all the non sugary food I like eating as well as sugary food I'd last about 1 day on your lifestyle. While I reached my weight of the 1990s by giving up sugar, I did not regain my body shape, and given that at my age in this country I'm never going to attract an attractive woman I really don't care if my tummy still overhangs my legs.

IMO it's a peculiarly American thing, for the most part, but whatever country we live in, criminals normally have zero difficulty of obtaining any weapon they desire. For example, in NZ one used to be able to buy semi automatic weapons in sporting stores but there was no equivalence to US mass shootings. Different country, different culture.

55555555555555555555 Anyone that ACTUALLY knows about such weapons will have no such fantasies. Anyone that purchases an AR15 in hopes of being John Wick knows sod all about using them in reality. BTW, I served and I do know about what such weapons are capable, or not capable of.

Yeah. I have a non sugar cake waiting to be baked- way more expensive than a sugar cake.

Killing is killing. Doesn't matter how many bullets in the magazine. I see no sense in your post. BTW, I despise people that kill for "sport", but I've killed many for other reasons- pests, for food, necessity.

Depends on the foods you enjoy. Being pre diabetic I gave up sugary food and lost 10 kilos without restricting my food intake. It's not a "diet" because that implies a temporary thing. To work it has to be permanent. and yes, I miss sugary food as much as an alcoholic misses booze. At your age you are probably more likely to get diabetes, with all it's problems, but as always up to you.

Most people that know nothing about rifles probably think any semi automatic rifle with a pistol grip and a magazine capable of holding more than 5 rounds is an "assault weapon" as their knowledge probably comes from war movies. Personally, if I lived in the US, where home invasions by multiple gangsters occurs, I'd want a weapon with as many rounds as possible, given it takes a lot of bullets to actually take down moving targets. IMO it's just Biden pandering to his base, as he must know a "ban" is unlikely, and that all a "ban" would do is take them off law abiding people- the bad guys can get all the weapons they want.

Friendship/ love isn't logical or rational, as it's based on emotion. IMO sex alone is just sex, not friendship. I had a regular masseuse, but I never invited her home, and she never invited me home. If you ain't visiting their home you ain't friends- just aquaintances. That's it from me on this as off topic.

Right now I'd be happy with the no mile high club.

Sometimes this sort of thread is the one worth posting on. We don't have to believe the OP.

LOL. I wanted one that went to work, as I like my own space.

Rationality has no bearing on relationships. We are creatures ruled by emotions, not being Vulcans.

I learned a lot, thanks mainly to two other posters and rediscovered my faith.

?????????????????? The entire thread has been about a guy that wants a girlfriend for sex. Short time isn't a friend thing.

What's wrong with an electrical engineer? Try living in a world without them! You sound like you went to uni and think tradespeople are inferior beings.

They'll get more attention than the farang. Thais tend to dote on sons. My Thai nephew was a rat bag but got away with it all the time.

I was saying that that was the prospective boy friend's attitude. It was never mine, as I liked being with them as a person and not just the sexual bit. Which was why I never went short time.

Definitely not like a Thai I saw, as got a big back side, but to each their own fantasy.

I'm puzzled, as that was what a short time was- till the guy had a happy ending, so could be 10 minutes or 3 hours. Sounds like it's going the western way, perform by a predetermined time and gone happy or not.

Food was never a part of the attraction for me, and apart from the women, the things I liked about it was; being able to stay in a cheap hut right next to the sand on a lovely beach ( probably impossible in a western country unless mega rich ). The lack of bureaucratic regulations. The lack of wokeness and PC. Real cinemas the way they used to be in the west. Actual service by a human being. Great public transport. Every day was amazingly interesting, not a boring groundhog day. Bars one could relax in without being deafened. Affordable restaurants. Cheap DVDs. There's more too.

I don't get the relevance to what I wrote. I'm on the girl's side here.

If you wanted to leave the wires exposed in case of adding or subtracting more in future, you could put something decorative ( like a window flower box ) over them, so can't be seen, OR one of those small roof covers to stop rain coming in the door ( I forget the proper name for them ).

Topic isn't Trump.
