    Two can live cheaper than one , which is why immigration only requires 400 K Bhat for marriage visa , while it's 800 K for retirement extension, Thai logic at its best. regards worgeordie

B-slapping Bogan trash has kept me young.

Let’s review:

I rubbed his nose in his own miscreant filth, and now he no longer wants to challenge people to fights who he meets on the board.

I brutally mocked him for 48 hours about his OCD and endless demanding to know about people’s hobbbbbiiiieees, and now we don’t hear that anymore

Today, I put an end to his lame, no game ponytail insults, which don’t even make sense.

It’s OK for men to have long hair. Only a retard think that makes them a homosexual.

Is anyone tired of his autistic stammering, “Yer…yer….gay, uh Dude. Dur, dur”?

We can come together, laugh him out of the room when he says it, and he will run away from it in 48 hours

Let me know what other behavior you want me to humiliate him out of and I’ll be happy to get to it

Single men in Europe can be better off if the wife earns more as it happens more and more often now.

Would a 'single man' have a 'wife' ?

But to respect to the OP, where on earth is the place where an extreme income inbalance would not result in the advantaged partner paying more?

And it’s also a man woman thing.

I went out with a Chinese patent lawyer who was probably making about $60,000 a year.

At pad Thai-paying time, did it ever even occurred to me that she might reach for her wallet?

It boils down to whether or not you’re happy in the relationship.

If you are, you are not bitterly complaining about installing the solar power panel. If it didn’t work out, you will ruminate about it for years.

I suspect there is an equal degree of eagerness on both sides of the divide to peek over the fence in hopes of vicariously catching a glimpse or reminder of what might have been.

Yes you certainly look great for 73. How old is the bloke next to you?

I'm much better off financially being married. Firstly as soon as we married we moved to a nice estate 38 kms east of Bangkok City. The first thing I noticed was the big difference in prices when shopping compared to Pattaya. Even my BP meds are 50% cheaper than Pattaya. There's not that many bars here but a large beer is no more than 80 baht, one bar is 70 baht. When I was single I always had flash clothes, overseas holidays and a new car every 4-5 years. I even raced horses and greyhounds and I did quite well on the punt but that's a thing of the past as I married 25 years ago,

Blaming and complaining do not help much. What helps is knowing who you are dealing with when you buy something, and whether the guarantees they give are real or not.

That can be a bit difficult in Thailand sometimes, but if you pay small money for something that would cost a lot more in proper quality, you should not be surprised if it does not work as you hoped or believed.

Anyway, I have heard about people who bought home products from Power and ended up in months-long claims. In the end, they had nothing.

This is definitely true. I do enjoy providing a little luxury to her at discount Thai prices.

And this very good person who has worked so hard for so long for so little money is enjoying a little La Doce Vida.

I bought her hair extensions for a big speech She was going out of the country to make. She could never afford such a luxury, and it meant the world to her.

That whore of Babylon got free hair extensions? Stone her!

I posted a picture of my GF about a week ago, so you and the Bogan can go look for it and play mix ‘n match.

Are you a Brit? The booze culture there really ages them. If I still lived there, I’d probably look like you do

Why not turn this well beaten dead horse of a thread into a laugh and have everybody just throw up some pictures of themselves?

My post, which unfortunately happened to land in the middle of a back and forth discussion you were having with other posters, was a general observation about the pros and cons about being single or married debate, and was not directed at anyone in particular.

Yes, looks good for 73. I am 78 on my avatar, with my 55 year old girlfriend for 15 years.

At one low career ebb, I was selling Vitamix blenders in mega stores.

At the end of the demonstration, I would produce a box of broken blenders, put it on the counter, and say:

You have paid for a Vitamix blender many times over.

But after all that paying, you still don’t own one.

You can say the same thing about romantic relationships in Thailand.

You will pay one way or the other, so know quality, and don’t expect it to come cheap

Would get on my nerves paying double for everything and of course it means it isn't a genuine relationship because it's backed by money, if money goes they go

I think being single is great and have total control over my money, I don't send it to ladies

Agreed, I was amplifying on your point that on both sides of the divide there is some peering going on.

If they do not have their own income, then yes if you lose your income, a lot of your value goes out the door with you.

But I know a fat old white guy in Chiang Mai who is being supported, just barely, through a long illness by his 711 – working girlfriend.

Not wife, girlfriend. To get that kind of loyalty and integrity, you would generally have to exhibit it yourself overtime.

But someone who has made the life choice to get off the relationship carousel for good and just enjoy romance à la carte, not only has my respect, but also my envy. I wish I could live so compartmentalized, but I cannot.

But you are in the minority.

Most foreigners are hitched up with girls from lower socioeconomic class.

Nah, most posters are lower class, painters, plumbers, postmen, train driver, taxi driver, rig pig, etc. from social housing estates in the west (I listed my pals jobs). As far as I can see an Issan farm girl's parents with their own farm rank much higher in society.

And education, they all left school as soon as their countries laws permitted, same as the Issan farm girl.

What are you on about? Saying that you would look good, like the OP, if you still lived in UK.

At 78, with almost 60 years as a musician in Germany, Switzerland, most other European and Skandie countries, with the band's drinking greatly encouraged by Managements, I am doing OK.

“ I have virtually no insult game, and so will toss out something so vague as to be meaningless.

And then will weaken it further by adding ”kind of”.”
