GG, if you want this problem to go away, I suggest you remove your profile from Grindr... 🙂

Yes 

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

 

Pitcher or catcher ?

Postman or Letter box ?

By the time you've got "enough" it might be at the point in life that your desires (or body) have died. 

Part of what makes something desirable and exciting is lack of it.

 

Sitting in the Usa, Pattaya looks like paradise. Once I got here I don't feel like enjoying it much. Another word for it is "overkill". Too much of something makes it less desirable because there is no challenge involved in obtaining it.

I love being here for many reasons. The sunshine, food, poontang when needed and solitude the rest of the time. The low cost of living allowed me to retire early. There is a lot more personal freedom here than in Canada.  One can blame our witless ruler but it's all done with the consent of the majority of the governed.

A main reason why gamblers keep playing whether they are winning or losing. Or if they win big, they return after a short time.

 

The rush is from the attempt and expectation of winning and has nothing to do with the amount money being gained.

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. 

 No gay farang living here is going to want to talk to another farang expat to try to hit on them ....Why would they want an old fat loser when they can choose from all the fit, attractive young smiling and happy Thai guys? 😂

.... So dont worry about that.

For the same reason bars are filled all over with men talking to other men of similar circumstances and backgrounds.

So they are wasting their time going to gyms?

Instead you should have walked the other way. Just past Soi 1 BeachRd. Jomtien, you see a newish red Building. Ground floor has a Gym with Aircon. Its not freezing cold and its not too expensive, you even get free cold water (but bring your own bottle).

 

Btw. does Tonys still sell lifetime Memberships for 6k baht, or was it 10K? Anyway, In that case the mentioned Gym may be too expensive for you. I do not want that you can't afford the aircon in your shoebox and then it will be as hot in your shoebox as the shoebox of the other Gents you complain about. 

No. Please don't send him to that one. I use it.

i been going there since 2004.  Of course there are some lonely people there. Happens anywhere.  What I hated to see was the middle aged to older folks that were burned out, sitting at the bottom of Pattaya Klang. Their cash ran out long ago.  Now barely scraping by on some meager social security or disability pension or maybe minimal staff seargeant pay etc..

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 

 

 

 

It's cheaper and sunnier to be lonely here than in many countries around the world...

I thought that was you with all your nonsense topics.

[AreYouGerman]

This is clearly bait. Anyway.

 

How to make new friends?

 

By showing anti societal behavior.

 

Am I part of a society or am I just a battery?

 

Bonus: A battery that has to make money that can be taxed so a boomer's pensions get paid?

First off, how do you know they're burned out and have run out of cash? There are many people here that have a load of retirement cash but still sit in bars buying 60 baht beer so you might think they're scraping by....

 

Also what's at the bottom of Pattaya Klang? I assume you're talking about the cheap beach road bars corner of soi 7? Those people always seem to be having a lot of fun when I walk by 🍺🍺

True. The topic is just one of the OP's constant attempts, complete with fictional incidents, to feel superior and enjoy schadenfreude.

Says the guy who at age 68 is still on the fence. I stopped going to the bars there cause of daily checkpoint.
