So many lonely guys

[georgegeorgia]

I have come to the conclusion after 2 weeks here that there are many lonely guys here expats living in hot shoebox rooms , 

 

I have had to start using my headphones to deter lonely people AND attention seekers 

 

Attention seekers are guys who look for you and try to get a reaction 

One guy sitting next to me on a banana chair trying to impress me that he can speak thai , shouting in the phone then looking to see if I'm looking 

 

I sit outside in view talay apartment reading my books right in a corner chair well AWAY from others only to get some one who wants to sit next to me ,all the way out of the way from the pool,only me sitting there doing my statistics and data study  and still get a farang sit next to me and proceed to shout on a phone call in Thai.!

 

I then had to get my headphones out or move, he then got angry tapped me on the shoulder ' hey buddy do you know what time it is ?

 

Lonely guys ,please don't make a expat life exciting if you are living in shoe boxes looking to attention seeking for lonilessness 

Life here in Pattaya doesn't look exciting to these old bored expats 

 

I'm here to read my books not have get into conversations or hear your whinging stories

I joined Tony's ,they have punching bags ,but it's been so hot I only lasted 5 minutes 

I didn't think I needed a A/Con gym but it looks I do

Most of the time I'm the only one in Tony's Gym 

I will have to go there at night time to use the bags though 

I can't let my fitness go because of the heat 

I walked from Jomtien Rompho yesterday to Central Festival,wasn't easy but I did it

Which VT are you in and for how long?

 

These types of interactions are there. I think part if it is the bar scene here. Guys are used to sitting at a barstool near other guys and expecting a conversation.

 

I also interpret some if it as gay, but it depends on the guy. It's always at the back of my mind.

Just wondered why you chose there knowing about the small rooms.

 

I stayed in VT2B a month and was glad to get out.

It's good to experience this.

Long term I know it wouldn't suit he.

I can't live in shoebox noisy rooms , I live in a noisy place back in Australia but I regard that as temporary until retirement 

But if I was going to retire I think Pattaya wouldn't be part of it anymore

I have no probs with gay people only those old guys my age who put on acting decrepit with limps and walking sticks and they moving slow ,some are 50yo and act 80

   How do you know where all these men live and in what conditions ?

Men keep approaching you and you know what their condos are like and how noisy they are .

Do you go back to their condos to read your books ?

Yes 

I went back to a man's condo last Wednesday night.

He is from NZ , he is very foolish with his money and invited some Thai guys and their girlfriends around that he had met a week before at the markets , apparently they had market stalls 

 

I only found out later he wanted to put in 500b to buy them beer and prawns to sharec

 

He later complaint to me the thai people had used him and wanted gasoline money in which one Thai  guy actually asked me for , I said to him to ask Eric the guy who invited them,nothing to do with me gasoline money 

 

Anyway Eric had run out of money and they didn't bring anything to the party he said ,we had to buy the prawns and beer , 

I told him he shouldn't of invited them over ,for what reason?

I left after one hour anyway ,they wernt keen on a conversation and kept guzzing down the beer!

The audacity of one of the Thai guys with his GF to ask be for gasoline money 

I was out of there after one hour ,!

How often does that happen to you?

 

Sometimes I start a conversation with a stranger, and sometimes a stranger starts a conversation with me. I met interesting people that way.

 

I think the important part it that we or the other guy doesn't have to answer. Or maybe just nod and that's it. I wouldn't want to try to talk to someone 3 times and he ignores me 3 times. Or the other way around. But in my experience that happens seldom.

 

On the other hand, many people write that they have no friends. Or complain that others only look at their phones. I think there is nothing wrong with meeting new people.

   Why did you go to Pattaya to read books though ?

Its a place that is known for prostitution , drinking and noise .

Why didn't you go to location where the people that go to Pattaya don't go ?

There are plenty of places in Thailand where you can go and sit quietly on your own to read a book , Pattaya isn't one of them

  You should grab their walking sticks , and threaten to hit them unless they start walking normally and stop limping

Because for him Pattaya is Thailand and living in a box reminds him of Australia he misses😁

"I left Australia and came to Pattaya to read books."

Nuff said.

 

I hear Angeles City has a very big population of book readers, you should check it out.

Yet you want to share your whinging with us. 

 

[spidermike007]

Perhaps you need to step it up, move to a place that has real apartments instead of crappy little rooms, and you will then have a higher caliber of expat either engaging you, or not.

   Yes, there's not much difference between going up to people in the streets and talking to them and posting comments on anonymous forums

Why do people reply to this pathetic troll.?

[Denim]

Solution is simple. Don't chose to live where there are many foreigners. Find a quiet town elsewhere and enjoy the peace. Plenty to chose from.

[scubascuba3]

Earphones are handy for sure if a farang bore sits next to you. Many of them have predictable chat, wanting to play trumps, you know, been here longer, more money, done more, bores best avoided

[brianthainess]

Out on release again, from your Psycho ward ? have you made anyone cry again yet after telling them in a toilet they abandoned their kids, just for a laugh. What about the prison visits to give them Psycho advice.

   Bloody Tourist should be deported, unless of course your not really here, why go to Pattaya if all you do is winge about it.

I was walking along the pavement a while ago and this guy walking towards me almost tripped me up with his stick. I told him to watch where he was going. Wearing dark glasses on a dark day. I mean, really.

 

And that labrador didn't help.

Don't rule out the gay card. Jomtein and dongtan beach is actually very gay. That's not far from where you are.

Possible but I'm talking about central Pattaya, I don't bother with Jomtien or Pratumnak 

[Prubangboy]

Vaguely lonely guys (possibly) spotted in a world-renowned epicenter of lonely guys looking to (possibly) be less lonely. If only briefly.

 

Later that evening, the OP brilliantly pronounced: "Water is wet".

[johnnybgood]

So many Lonely Guys.....       

e.g.  somebody that has to spend day after day creating new moron threads on this forum?
