Is the above true? It feels it to me. 

More or less. But, most humans have the ability to adapt to changes...

Pretty much all symptoms of development. Poverty is great at making women less picky, financial independence is great at making them insufferable over-entitled monsters. Just look at any western country and every other woman is "strong" and "independent" which are code words for bitchy and unfeminine. Complain about not having a boyfriend when they put zero effort into making themselves attractive to one.

 

I don't know what it was like 20 years ago, but at least for now I don't have a problem finding women (both rentals and educated) in Thailand. I am 40 however, so I imagine our prospects are a bit different. If it doesn't work for you then it might be time to move on - Philippines is quite easy and it's normal for older men to date younger women - though you'd find the quality of life is lower and nothing ever works properly, except girls...

i think we can all write off those lower,

but still too high, barfines, as a consequence of climate change. u see, western food influences and generally more prosperous thai population has led to fatter girls,

and the flatulence increase proportionally,

thusly, yet again, climate change rears its ugly head yet again.

revered member @brunolem got it right: in the end its climate change that will make us move on to greener pastures

If you adapt to change as you go instead of 20 year leaps....it's none worse, better in many areas as some above have mentioned, and continually improving IMHO.

Are there any positives since 20 years ago?

Internet, taxi apps, availability of western food, less paranoia about AIDS.

How much worse does it have to get before other places look better?

Or has the entire world followed the same path?

Or have i just become a grumpy old man?

From your perspective, I doubt any place in the world has gotten better.
