Is There Are Word For This?

[OlRedEyes]

Happened to me first time I came to Thailand. I was stunned. Thought of calling the cops, but then decided to just shut up and bear it. I tough.

[Maigo6]

Happened to me on a packed train in Tokyo, a bunch of Japanese schoolgirls were in front of me, what I thought was a bag rubbing up against me was a hand.

Seems it was a bit of a game at the time, to feel up men as women on the Trains were liable to a grope from the men, now they have women only cars on the Subway in Tokyo.

I never saw those same girls again, though I rode the train from dawn till midnight looking !!

[Ulysses G.]

With me it has happened in Silom while looking at CD's It happened so fast and when I looked around I was not able to tell who did it.

In Phuket, walking on the sidewalk and being pinched by giggling Thai women as I pass them, but that is not so bad.

But I don't want to discuss me...

Yeah, sure!

[dumspero]

Maigo- That's a classic!

[November Rain]

OP, you been fantasising again? Even assuming it did happen to you, as you state, a fact I'm afraid I doubt, this has got to be the first time I've heard of a man objecting to being touched up. Even Maigo6 says he stayed on the subway hoping it would happen again (Classic!!)

[jeebusjones]

Without more details from the OP, here is my interpretation:

For Thai people groping him:

women = "professionals" without a doubt

men = "gay professionals" also very little doubt, but it's also possible that a "non-professional" could have been bold enough to do it.

For farangs groping him:

men = I very much doubt that this has happened, but if it did then = "gay, drunken farang"

women = I seriously doubt he's ever been groped by farang women on the street

Very silly topic. And also, if by "Silom Road" he means "Patpong," then surely the mystery is solved. And if by "Phuket" he means "Patong," yet another riddle solved.

As usual, the first few posters completely misread the post and read and took the OP's reference as himself, then the OP went along with it.

Whazzzz up?

Why not be a man and state your true intent?

Seems some on this forum try to get back at people by trying to be coy and sliding sideways, but unfortunatley - the faculty that you are working with is all too evident for all to see.

Mods - do we really need this?

[kmart]

Maybe the OP was "dressed provocatively" in his usual sartorial splendour, and the mere mortals surrounding his wonderful self just couldn't help themselves?

I'm sure that counselling or gazing at himself in a mirror for several hours might help him get over this terrible experience.

------------------

I can honestly say hands in my pants was almost a daily experience. Of course that was only in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket

Koh Samui, Chang Mai, Mae Sot oh yeah and Koh Sumet and also Satahip and Ayuttaya too. Oh I forgot Chang Rai and Hua Hin.

Anyway, I was always happy to return the greeting.

I'm sure this kind of thing does not go on elsewhere in Thailand...

These giggling Thai women are bargirls trying to lure you in as a customer.

You must be hanging out in some pretty dodgy areas to be getting felt up by other farang men.

Someone bumps into you do you assume they were trying to feel you up?

[PaulUSA302]

When I first posted this topic, I did so to talk about the drunk guys harrassing, touching and feeling-up innocent women away from the gogo bars. I also related a few of my own personal experiences. I didn't want to make the topic about me but most of you ignored the orginal direction and intent and focused on me.

I didn't want to make the topic about me because on message boards people use the smallest bit of personal information to attack, defame or insult the person they have this information about.

Today I am in the mood that I don't care...

Now... For the flamers on here... This bit of information will get your fingers-a-tapping on your keyboard.... While in Bangkok walking around the dark streets away from the entertainment areas... I am not sure where I was, I was lost and didn't care because I just wanted to explore. A Thai guy called to me from across the street. I stopped and he asked me if I model. I laughed and said no. He asked if I wanted to model and I again said no. He told me that I would be paid and I only smiled and prepared to walk away. He told me that he was looking for a non-Thai to be in a movie and went on to tell me it would be me with one black and one Asian woman. I thanked him and again said no and walked away. This happened on the same night I was groped. The groper also made an outrageous offer to me after they made themselves known.

Even here in the USA, when I was out on the town in Philadelphia, I have been scouted to be in a porn movie. I am often mistaken for a stripper or an exotic dancer. I spend almost 4 hours a day in the gym 4 days a week. I have lived my life with a go with the flow attitude and project nothing but a friendly/jovial attitude.

I get attention from guys and girls.. I have my whole life but so what? I go to the gym to build my body because I want to look good, be healthy and I also enjoy the perks it gives me.

You can't believe it? Thank you I love it when a day in my life is unbelievable to others.

Some of my friends did not believe my tales of Thailand until they came with me. Only then did they see that my stories were true.. Like when we were in Pattaya walking down Walking Street and a Farang guy quickly stood next to me and his girlfriend took our photo. After I realized what they were doing I offered them the chance to take a proper picture. They thanked me and we posed and she took a few pics.

I have had a charmed life when it comes to getting attention... Even in my teens when I was simply tall and skinny. While waiting at a traffic light in my car, women would get out of their car and pass me their phone number and getting back into their car before the light changed green.

In a department store, a little boy once asked me if I was single. I was puzzled as to why a little boy would ask me such a question. I told him I was single and he then told me that his mother sent him over because she wanted to talk to me.....

Life is funny... We all want to look good and some of us work hard to put our best foot forward... That does not mean that insults bounce off... It does not mean that they should suffer harassment simply because they "LOOK" a certain way.

Yes... I enjoy being looked at and thought of as being attractive but that does not give anyone the right to treat me as if I am a nobody to be touched, bullied, groped, propositioned and insulted simply because I look a certain way...

And I won't apologize for the enjoyment life brings me... You can have it too... The down payment is 3 to 4 hours a day in the gym and an easygoing attitude...

Ok... Now let the hate and flames begin.... AND don't forget to tell me how unbelievable my life is... I love that

[PaulUSA302]

Oh... And just a week ago. I was asked to be model on a website. They wanted to fly me out to Miami and bla, bla, bla... I said no..

This is not the first time I was made such an offer. I hope it is not the last... I am getting older (I am in my early 40's now but I admit to 37) and I will miss the attention when it is gone... I will miss the fun attention, not the bad attention.....

[Bryan in Isaan]

Well, See you guys later. I'm off to the gym.

So- seriously - are you very muscular or just in good shape. I suppose the behavior you described could happen. The Thais are a very colorful people and can seem uninhibited at times.

hmm i think this post is meant to prop up your ego and titillate the girls.

No, I don't need that. Especially since I am in the USA... And in Thailand... All you have to do is be a holiday'er to titillate the girls LOL

Did it work @ girlX, are you feeling titillated after reading the confessions of a superstud ?

[britmaveric]

PaulUSA302 - I hate to admit this, but the same thing has happened to me mate - wow what are the chances of that happening??

[PaulUSA302]

I get attention but I am no super-stud. And I am not sorry for being who I am. Like I said, anyone can have what I have.. Just to go the gym and work for it.

It is the same for anything... Want to be smart? Go to school and work for it.

Want to be rich? Then do what it takes to build your wealth... Work for it...

Want to be a great writer? Learn the skills... (Work for it).

We all can be what we want and have the life we desire most... it simply requires work, time and the right choices and sometimes a little luck... But the key is putting in the real effort.

[markr]

I am a stunner, probably the best looking bloke you are ever likely to see

Good luck

Well thats what my mum said!

Good for you, but you don't have to be a stunner... Just try for a clean look. Well scrubbed skin. an appropriate hairstyle and a well toned body and it will take you far

OP, are you familiar with Greek mythology? Ever heard the story of Narcissus? He's who the springtime flowers are named after. Do a little bit of extra curricular reading. You might be able to draw a few parallels between him & yourself. I can certainly see similarities!

[Ijustwannateach]

I'm afraid it's my job to be the thread cop here- this no longer appears to have anything to do with Thailand, and is sort of becoming one of those narcissistic "look at me, look at me"; "throw tomatoes at him, throw tomatoes at him" kind of threads. If we can't get back to Thailand here, we'll be closing down soon.

[PaulUSA302]

No need because that is not who I am or where my head is. I made this post about people acting rude while on holiday in Thailand. I added also lightly related my own experience with rude people and the topic became what was unbelievable as related to me and my experiences.... So I figured if that little peek into my life made their lips tight then I figured I would share a lot more of my life and see if they can stand it...

But for all that I have written, I would gladly change places with many of you to have what you have.

I am not my own biggest fan. I am simply sharing with you guys some of the most memorable moments in my life... I can't un-live them.. I can only remember them and share them.

I say close it.. When the Mods start laying insults in an official capacity than there is very little chance of this post getting back on topic... AND only a few of us wanted to discuss the topic at any rate.... But I do dislike when the Mods insult or are snide when doing their job.

Well clearly your 'well scrubbed skin' is wearing thin. Looking at the thread as a whole it would appear that the consensus is that the events you posit are unlikely in the extreme.

I for one would vote this thread closed, and maybe a gentle word in the OP's ear?

[PaulUSA302]

Oh well... guess that means that my life is only real to me

And what wears my skin is that some get to insult or offend while wielding Message-board-God-Powers with the full power of Thailand Visa behind them... And if I want to defend myself I get slapped in the face with a rule book.... That is what bothers me... You guys thinking my life is unbelievable... That just makes me laugh knowing that I lived every moment of it.

Congrats, Paul. You've both had your request to close the thread granted, and you've earned the holiday that you evidently were seeking.

Fun's fun, folks.
