Im in Prachuap soon if you want to have a beer or curry.

That sounds exciting. Will you live-stream your meetup for us on this site?

    People who claim lots of friends are insecure and often half mad. Why would you want to be friends with many people? Most are dropkicks with average to low IQ. Many are alcoholics or smokers.

You are a really nice guy

Why not invite him for a beer and a curry as well? He would likely be very keen. Then you would have another new friend.

The eyes on that lizard remind me of Rosemary's Baby.

So my question to you, Sir, is: "What have you done to its eyes?"

Also, I have found that friends like these make very strange bedfellows.

How many women have you been with?

I'm shy to admit that I haven't been with any. Would you care to be my first?

What a punishment to suggest anyone should suffer!

I can tell not many. Less than 10. Maybe less than 5.

Have you visited a restaurant in the past month? What do you do in Thailand? Anything? You appear to have no interests.

I already confessed it's 0. Can you help me improve?

Also very short in content as it would = zero!

You have lots of friends? You spend your life stalking me. Obviously you have none. I doubt you have been to 20 towns in Thailand. You dodged that question.

It is always fascinating to watch the loudest high volume posters on this site boast endlessly about their thriving social circles and nonstop real world travels and adventures. Apparently they maintain a packed calendar, a large catalog of close friends, a high level of social popularity, and a vibrant life offline. Impressive, considering they also manage to spend what looks like most of their waking hours here, firing off streams of forgettable banter into the digital void.

There is a certain irony in claiming a rich and bustling social life while simultaneously living mainly in the reply box. People who are genuinely busy building meaningful relationships and doing productive things tend not to have marathon sessions bickering with strangers about forgettable topics. They are usually out doing the very things they claim to be doing.

So which is it? Are we meant to believe you are social dynamos who somehow squeeze in endless forum time between high quality outings, or is this your main gig and the grand tales are just window dressing. Because from the outside, it looks less like a thriving social network and more like an audition for relevance in an anonymous cyber crowd who don't give a toss who you are.

If this place is your primary outlet, that is fine. Just own it. The performance of having it all while living in the comment section is what strains all credibility.

Definition friends ?

Long term old friends I can just show up on short notice and everything is like yesterday, is great friends you do not necessarily keep daily, weekly or even yearly contacts with. Yes I do have!

In thailand I have a network of friends that would save my ass if needed for smaller things, and one good friend I can talk about anything and no secrets. If real <deleted> happens, I think family is the only thing that matters, especially in our ages (50+)

Friends comes and goes, and most who I met in life, we do grow apart eventually. The good think about doing something in life, som kind of activities, is that we sharing something together we like, and that makes it easier to look passed what separates us be it politically or whatever it could be.

I wonder sometimes. They might be 62 but act 12.

If you think that I am a "stalking you" then I suggest that you report me to the MODS!

The next time you accuse me I will report you!

I suggest that you stay on topic and stop insulting posters!

Plenty of decent people in Pattaya, I am still friends with some I met in my first weeks here close to 30 years ago. You can meet normal people by going to pub quizzes, darts matches, playing pool or golf. I don't do any of those things myself but many normal people that i am friendly with do.

I would add that I also know people who are enthusiastic members of a masonic lodge. Bit of an extreme move I agree but there you go.

You must have been the driving force behind the creation of the movie "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

I am happy with having very few friends, the fewer friends, the fewer people asking me for help, advice or money.😇

I avoid talking about Trump in the real world.

I avoid the real world as much as possible.

I have admitted that one reason I am online a lot is because I don't hang out with people much.

The last 2 guys I spoke to recently and was willing to be-friend both gave off shady vibes after a couple of conversations, so I cut them off.

I think one of the many curses in my life is just meeting people that will betray me down the line, so I don't hang out with people that easily and I don't meet trustworthy people that easily.

I prefer online. A lot of people hate me and some people here probably would do me dirty if they could, but it's on the internet so they can't get to me.

Can you clarify? Do you mean that a lot of people hate you in real life or that you think a lot of people on the forum hate you?

I prefer to interact with people, online, virtually.

This is why I never become ill....either physically ill, or...

Mentally ill.

My take on this subject is, stop doing favors for people, stop running around after people stop supporting people stop lending money and see how many people you can really call a friend. With most people you’re only a good friend while they are receiving the above benefits.

Can't imagine that's a problem you would ever have to face.

That's why I don't give money to women 😊
