I live in Thailand almost since 3 years and I never interested to go in the bars as I don't like prostitutes. I love to save my money 

Thanks for that essential input.

 

Current powers that be / snobby elites would like nothing more than the sex industry to disappear... at the very least so it's not visible. They hanker for a sterile Singapore.

[charmonman]

Last time I checked, the Old Other Office was not a go-go bar. Then again, it's been many years since I've been there.

 

This epidemic/pandemic is a serious thing right now, but like every other epidemic it will be part of history at some point. I have a reasonable hope that one year from now, if not a little before, things will be back to somewhat "normal". This is not the middle ages and this is not the Black Death. "Social distancing" will not last forever. When HIV was ravaging Thailand in the late 80s and early 90s everybody thought it was the death knell for the "entertainment" industry. It clearly was not. 

 

I'm surprised the Patpong family is not deferring rents for the bars on the street. After all, it's not like they're going to find any new tenants right now and when things do improve they might not want to have a bunch of empty shophouses with no income. That is unless they're planning to demolish the whole thing and build the Patpong Condominium.

Not sure I would be bragging about holding hands with a sexy young woman because I pay for it. Does it never occur to you that she would rather be with a young, handsome guy but she suffers your "special company" because she wants your cash..????

I reckon a little self delusion can go a long way. Not bragging. Most Johns go way beyond holding hands. It's all a game and cash is in the equation. Easy, expedient temporary love transaction. She will go with anyone with a healthy wallet.

Nothing wrong with eating pot noodles 3 times a day and only drinking tap water to save a bit of money.

 

Wonder if the balloon chasers are now lining up for free food handouts instead at the moment ?

The place has been dead and buried a long time ago.Last time i was down there maybe 10 years ago seemed very gayish if that is the right word.As far as i am concerned the bulldozers should have gone down there years ago.The whole city is over priced and poor value. Some of the bar fines were over the top no wonder people use the internet to find there squeeze for the night.

Save you BS for someone else. There is no attraction from a young gal to 60-70 year old men. When was the last time the gals on stage screamed when an old geezer walked into a gogo?  

Let me put the shoe on the other foot, were you attracted to 60-70 year old woman when you were 20?

have you ever been attracted to 60-70 year old woman?

there is no way in hell a young lady is after anything more than money.

get a grip Adonis! 

Though you are likely correct in a grand sense, sometimes what you think is 'logic' is a belief based on false assumptions.

 

You might want to look up 'sociobiology', something first brought to prominence by E.O. Wilson.

 

First, reality: the purpose of life is more life. Boil it down to its basics, and that's it. That means instinct is the driving force of existence. Instinct is geared towards reproducing one's gene pool. 'Selection' of a mate---what we romantics like to call "attraction"---is really just instinct: What sexual partner is most likely to produce a superior being who will carry my genetic contribution forward? Dress it up however you want, but that's what attraction is all about. Good looks, nice body....what they really say is: superior gene pool.

 

Yes, a man is unlikely to be attracted to a 60-70 year old woman. The reason is less aesthetic than it is biological. At that age the woman is past the age of fertility. Mating with her is biologically useless. Men, OTOH, can pass on their gene pool until death. That does not make them an attractive partner, but a man slightly long in the tooth, who is in shape, handsome, and shows minimal effects of aging, is a genetic marvel and much in demand, because his gene pool is clearly of a strong and superior nature. Scientific studies bear this out. Lots of 20 year old women would be attracted to Brad Pitt or George Clooney, or Richard Gere until recently, despite two being 50+ and Gere almost 70. Toss in Ken Watanabe to add some ethnic diversity. The women may not understand why (it's genetic), they just know they are attracted. Perhaps not all women, but a good many.

 

Attraction in a biological sense has many oddities, not just age-related. Depending on where a woman is in her monthly menstrual cycle, she will be drawn to a different type of man. At some points in the cycle she will be attracted to cute; at other times she'll be drawn toward uber virile. Remember that Donna Summer song 'Hot Stuff'? "Wanna bring a wild man back home"? A sociobiologist, hearing that, would be able to tell you where a woman is in her monthly cycle. She doesn't want 16-year old Leonardo di Caprio, she wants the 40 year old version because she's feeling freaky.

 

At what age does a man become 'too old' to attract a 20 year old looking for a fit gene pool contribution?  45? 50? 60? It probably depends on---the man's gene pool and how well he has taken care of himself.

 

Studies have shown the trait women find most attractive in a man is a high shoulder-to-waist ratio. The least attractive is a protruding belly. These preferences were measured not by poll but by measuring eye movement and brain wave activity. Notice that 50+ Brad Pitt is still 'cut' or 'ripped'.

 

So....for the older gents out there.....hit the gym. Eat right. Use good cleansers and face creams to minimize wrinkles. Avoid the aging sun. Do that and you maximize your chance of having a 20 year old get all hot and bothered over you into your Golden Years. Even if all these efforts fail in the quest for bedding the woman of your dreams, at the very least you'll be healthy and fit. As for young guys---get started now keeping yourself fit, because your urge to merge isn't going to ebb at 40.

OR .... don't bother with  any of that and just go with a real roughy - same, same result and cheaper >>> you choose. PS actually true. I am older but have avoided the sun always. School friends used to tan whereas I avoided the sun. I have very fair skin, the body could pass as 25 and a fully functioning tool without any chemical help. Head could use some help as it's always exposed. Look after your body and keep out of the sun.

Perhaps you should hit the gym more often?

 

Besides, dining at 7-11 and Macs isn't resulting in as many 'fit young Thai' males as in the past. Nor females, truth be known.

You're saying there is hope for me yet? IMO Thailand is where a fat wallet is esteemed more highly than a slim waist by most women.

My urge to merge is continuing into my seventies, although I do prefer the more experienced 40 year olds.

Excellent news. I hope to see this reflected in the reduction of STIs. Hoepefully, this blunts the  growing numbers of HIV infections, Sad to say that much of the sex trade is the country's shameful contributor to despair, drug addiction, debt and deadly disease.

Hmmm...that seems like alot of work...my advice is this: keep your wallet fit, avoid giving out wedding rings and do not sire offspring or the only one bedding the 20 year old woman of your dreams will be your son....Poppa. Get started with that now because your urge to merge isn't going to ebb at 40 and kamagra doesnt grow on trees, it is bought at the pharmacy (unless you hit up the guy selling it on the soi and good luck with that)
