It never ceases to amaze me people who are of "mature age" want to live in the past.

 

I caught up with an old workmate last night after not seeing him for a number of years 

 

He was shocked that I was wearing black nail polish 

 

"George why are you wearing that ? Then having a little giggle on my expense 

He did nothing but talk of the past ,"oh remember the 1980's he said how good things were in this country " 

 

 

May I ask guys of mature age to Get with the times !

No one is interested in 40 years ago !

 

You shouldn't be acting like 20yo at 70yo looking ridiculous making revving  noises on motorbikes so everyone stares at you at the traffic lights in Jomtien Pattaya 

Grow up !!!

 

It's unfortunate I had to copy & paste this to him this morning and then BLOCK him because he too lives in the past

1. Remember that young people are almost always not attracted to you. Unless you are Dolly Parton or some other extremely rare example, people under 30 generally are only interested in your money. The waitress at Applebee's is just doing her job, she does not want to sleep with you.
2. Remember who your family members are. Don't lose track otherwise you will get scammed.
3. Remember that times have changes and nobody cares about how things were in 1960, 1970, 1980, etc. The world keeps moving. Great that things used to be a certain way, but this is not then.
4. Remember that you are not 20 or 30 anymore. Again, rare examples aside, the way you used to act when you were twenty and angry is only going to get you hurt at 70.
5. Know when to quit. Be honest with yourself and your capabilities. No, you shouldn't just keep driving because they haven't taken your license yet. No, you shouldn't talk <deleted> at a bar to 25 year old men. No, you shouldn't wave a gun around because you don't know who is outside.

Nail polish and weird topics. I think he wants to be gay but is afraid. 

And I did see this last month on a sports bar in Pattaya 

 

4 old men all with tattoos at a table near me swearing acting like teenagers ,low class , 

One of them made a " quip"  if  that's a word about my nail polish and wrist  bangle before the others quickly shut him down .

 

They still want to be teenagers

Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same

Find a bar where nail polish is common perhaps?

Many of your posts OP are very judgemental and supercillious from the go... almost as if they are designed to offend and get the obvious reaction from members... i.e. click bait. 

Your blatant assumpions of everyone are wildly out of control, and you believe everyone to be of the same ilk in your mind, so that implies a certain bias and prejudice on such topics, without allowing for nuance or different situations of the people here, as we are not all the same.

Your sweeping statements are ill-informed and belligerent, as you assume everyone conforms to your interpretation of life here... without realising that many live lives here you have no comprehesion of, but you still like to lump together.

When you post sweeping statements about life here, try to realise that actually you know sweet FA about it all... stop the click bait and trolling, please, as you know nothing of this place.

Supercilious?

Thankyou I have never heard of this word 

Reminded me of that catchphrase in the 1980's with description of the McDonald's hamburger 

Does anyone remember that ...I think you got a free hamburger if you said it right !

Supercilious...

Plus the outfit!

So you are trying to relive your youth by wearing black nail polish?

 

Were you a Goth - Metalhead?

That is definitely one of silliest eyesores I see time from time, and to top off the goofiness they open throttle and tear out at full speed to hurry up to get to nowhere on time during retirement.
