This is the pushing 80 move: when it gets down to just that, let them sit on your gob and partially grind it out themselves. Half the work for you and your tongue will be thanking you later.

Or, when you are preparing to go down on her discreetly take a slice of sandwich ham with you. Flick that around her naughty bits for a while and she will be none the wiser. Plus, you have a snack for when the ordeal is over.

I know you’re always cruising for a gay hookup, which explains your constant asks for snaps, but I don’t do photo requests. I also don’t broadcast my lifts, daily training routine, physique, wealth, or intelligence to strangers online the way you do incessantly.

Frankly, it’s only deeply insecure muppets who constantly measure and compare themselves to others out loud who do that. Your pathetic, childish obsession with trying to match up online doesn't make you appear impressive; it is pure cringe and merely exposes how underwhelming your reality actually is.

Eighteen hours a day of posting, no friends, and no life outside AN. A negative reputation for the ages. Actions speak louder than words, and right now, you are wearing your personal inadequacies like a badge of honor for all and sundry to see.

Thanks, I’m going to a upper tier place when they give me a full test of everything every 30 days and send me a little report

The Bogan was suggesting I just buy ampoules at a dubious pharmacy and inject myself

That's good. You can actually buy high quality and authentic FDA approved Bayer Schering testosterone over the counter in Bangkok and inject it yourself. I did it for a few bulking cycles about 20 years ago when I was still training for size. But I don't do it anymore, haven't since, and thankfully my natural T is still more than adequate for everyday life. But if you are getting it from a top tier TRT clinic then that's the best way to go. Gyno is another risk, but can be controlled with Nolvadex.

Sandwich ham? Lol. Gotta admit, I am all in for a bit of kink at times, but haven't tried that one. Can you use salami as a stand in if you're running short on the honey glazed?

I heard Dolf Bignok likes a bit of sausage up the bungholio. Ran into him at the deli counter at Foodland the other day. He was buying a half meter long pepperoni. The deli guy asked him politely if he also wanted it sliced into thick wedges. Rocks immediately got cheesed off. He said to the guy "what, do you reckon my arse hole is a piggy bank or something?"

But back on topic:

Since I got a girlfriend, I definitely cut back on going to stupid Meetupcom meet ups. I mean, obviously.

Who do you meet at Meetup’s? People who need to go to meet ups to meet people. Yes it was a brutal case of mirror meet self.

But I popped into one a couple of days ago and saw what I call the fat baldies. They are in possession of possibly unacceptable arms.

They are plainly bald. They don’t have a lot of money to socialize; that’s why they’re at Koffee and Konversation at Kbank.

They often live at the Nana hotel -which I understand is a “value” hotel. Gym? I don’t think they’ve been up for a look.

These guys can’t get girlfriends. I was swiping through some of their phones and looking at the very average middle-aged woman who didn’t wanna deal with them.

Unless you are a sexual deity like me or the Reagan-haired Will I Am, it’s hard to reach beyond a 12 year age gap, and these guys are typically shooting for double that.

These guys would kill to be in an exploitative relationship just to get laid, but they can’t even get to that level.

When I was working Tinder hard, it was a bit of work to lineup a single reasonable date with a woman over 50 a week.

Thailand, as a teaming supermarket of desperate women who have never seen a 1000 baht bill is a fantasy for dimwits that is at least a generation out of date.

One beloved poster here says he just stands near the Aunt Anne pretzel stand at the mall and tells passing very youngThai women jokes. Sadly but predictably, he could not recall a single joke.

Even with pristine oral hygiene, another frequent and baffling boast, most broke old fat bald guys shouldn’t even bother to get out of bed these days.

The law of attraction have not been repealed, just as the law of gravity has not been repealed -as one elder 55 year old “value” tourist is slowly coming to painful grip with, much to our collective amusement.

Is the sick buffalo trope now an out of the joke that marks somebody as clueless to the current Socio-dating reality of modern Thailand?

Have too many old white dudes crowded into the Thailand girlfriend life boat in 2026?

I love a stank joke better than anybody, but my very tiny sample so far has been a very light continuum from a barely ripe cantaloupe to a glass of Evian water.

Hopefully our correspondent here who favors the lower end and more rural part of the sex workermarket will have at least one good Stank joke in him.

Yet another one-sided thread started by an accidental INCEL who was never able to find the right woman, doesn't have means to support one anyway, and is desperately trying to convince himself that he's better off renting prostitutes than having a real, loving relationship.

Sure, quite a few men get taken advantage of by gold diggers, but there are many exceptions. And the unique feature of Thai life is that there's an excess of very attractive, loving women who want to spoil their partner, and a chronic shortage of reliable men.

So if you have the means to support a partner, and looks that don't make Soi dogs run in terror, then there's a good chance you can find the real deal ....

.... an attractive woman who will care for you, cater to all your needs and add value to your life. Probably significantly younger than you, so by the time her looks begin to fade you're already dead.

I've had a few 'just for sex' relationships in the past, and they were not for me. Without some mutual, emotional connection it's just having a <deleted> in a pussy.

My Missus is still a 10, and her habit of doing housework in minimal clothing brightens my day. She enjoys sex with me, she supports my business, and I personally benefit from her building projects. Paying for pleasure with someone with her looks, intelligence and English language skills would not be cheap, so supporting the odd tamboon or other 'couple costs' is no big deal.

I agree that PFP is better than being in a bad relationship, but being in a loving relationship beats all the options.

You got lucky it seems but many go down the same road you went down with terrible results. THey had good intentions and the lady seemed like a good woman. Fast forward 5 years and they are in a rut of a relationship and for some reason just settle into their pathetic life. THen there are those that treat the woman with respect and given time still get screwed because the younger woman has different needs they seemed to never consider. You mentioned your wife is much younger which you cherish and I don't have any problem with your situation. I would rather have a beautiful woman my own age but that is just me.

Most young women (almost all) that will date a much older man are doing it for a reason. THey are smart and know what services they need to provide. THey are in it for the long haul or until they have got enough cash to make it on their own. So many mistake true love here for something that is not really love at all.

Thank you for the 'complement'. I liked Maggie too.

It’s just too rare for a much younger woman to ever feel lust towards your old self. You have to face reality.

I go to a coffee group every morning of mixed ages and I have some Good natured flirty fun with a few very good looking woman ages 25 to 48.

I am 73. They would rather take a bullet then take me in the you no where .

That ship has sailed for me. Even if I were to leave the Aunt Ann’s pretzel stand and go over in pester a group of college girls drinking bubble tea -another classic boast of you know who from way back when.

They like and respect me, and we even go on little group outings. I’ve even taken a couple of them out for expensive cheeseburgers, just for fun.

But I know I am more likely to get hit by a comet than I am to have sex with any of these friendly yoga class kind of women. I have been demoted, but I still have one celibate foot in the game.

I gotta stay in my lane like the lover of old faces above, particularly if I want them to have even a small chance of groinal dampness in my presence that doesn’t come out of a bottle.

What's the classic bubble tea boast and who is/was the you know who.?

He said that he could go over to a table of women drinking bubble tea, and get a date with one of them by telling jokes and being confident.

Can we guess who this might’ve been?

In the comment section, timing isn’t everything...it’s the only thing.

That is when you get the most laughing emojis. Sorry, but after 8 pages, I won't bother.

Yeah, just skip the whole 8 pages of drama and make everyone a bloody toastie for <deleted> sake. Hope you get your feet sorted ASAP as well. Do consider cutting them off and replacing them with prosthetics if you need to. How do you expect to be standing at the microwave for 14 hours a day heating up foot longs and big bites at 2am for some drunken, impatient chav if you can’t even stand properly? 😂😘

Let’s have some fun with my T-shirt

Or we could just have more autistic stammerIng:

T-shirt. No like that man. T-shirt bad T-shirt, T-shirt. Dur, I finally got him with the T-shirt.

I bought five black T-shirts from Uniqlo when the queen died. A guy at the weed bar everybody was expected To wear a black T-shirt whenever you go out for a period of one month or Thai people would ostracized me

But that drooling pot head was wrong, the next day no one was wearing a T-shirt. So now I have a bunch of them and my GF really likes me in a black T-shirt.

“Dur, he said T-shirt. I made him say T-shirt. I win”

T-shirt

Man bun.

Poneeeeey tail.

Yes financially and mentally a lot better off

So we all have to look at your profile photo to see that you like BeeerLao and Mr B O.

It must be very individual — we are luckily all little different — however, often it's cheaper in the long run to be single with "pay'n'play", than having a gold digging girlfriend or wife.

"Shared expenses" might be a bit rare in Thailand, where the man often is a provider for the family — like in old time in Western countries — but you, OP, might be correct in that men in a relationship could save some money by not chasing free birds in the nightlife. On the other hand, you might instead sit — or even being parked by the wife, as I've seen some cases of — in the local sports bar and spend some of your savings there.

And "much better financially" in the headline, is in my view also widely depending of what savings your are starting out with when you comes to Thailand, and what regular income you have.

When family comes into the picture — and I'm not talking about the extended Thai-one, but as OP says "children come along", or just one child — it can be relative costly. If you are finacially loaded, it might be easy — nanny, inhouse domestic help and first class international school — if not, just school fees for a decent institution can rip an econy apart.

I often say that it might be cheaper to be sing man in Thailand than married or in a steady relationship. If you need domestic help, then get a housekeeper, or just someone to come regularly and clean — you might need it, even you invite a local lady into your household as permanent resident — and if you don't cook yourself, plenty of outside possibilities for excellent food, also in the modest price range.

I think there's an old joke about why it's always cheaper to rent than to own..,

Anyway, while reading all these posts what struck me is that most people here live in Thailand and aren't going home. Many of them probably can't afford to do that, in any event, in this economy.

And what about the "long term" consequences? For those who are in their 70s, they probably won't be around to see the outcome.

One thing not mentioned in this fascinating thread is the L word.

Can Love be a factor that transcends money?

I mean that intense, enduring bond that some women develop for their partners.

For us men, it's more about Lust, plus a transactional assessment; "she looks hot, I enjoy sex with her, she looks after me and the house, she's my long haired dictionary to translate and manage expat bureaucracy, she doesn't complain too much when I buy another motorbike, I'll keep her".

But for some women, the real keepers, it's a deep, primordial bonding that's almost unbreakable.

I can be grumpy and unreasonable sometimes, especially when work is stressful, or whenever I'm trying to use a printer, and as the nearest person to me, she gets to hear some choice Anglo Saxon vocabulary. But she'd never leave me for being an angry idiot, and most days we just have a fun and enjoy each others company.

She's made her limit clear ..... if I had an affair, she'd leave me. Anything else is forgiven, eventually.

She'll stop talking to me, but the supply of delicious food and drinks keeps going, if delivered with an ominous calm.

We even have some angry sex, so for me I enjoy the quiet and wait for the storm to pass.

She's bonded to me, like a baby duck can bond with the farmer's wellies, or the non judgemental way of a faithful family hound.

Yes, building this type of unbreakable bond with an Asian woman needs the man to be a provider, so it's not free of cost. But I see it as an investment, not a cost. I've invested in her education (she now has a degree), invested in her cultural development as an experienced international traveller, invested in her English language skills and her business experience.

My ROI is a faithful companion who cares for me, who makes an effort to look great every day, and who I can trust to support me as I get older.

For me, that's priceless.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but is your wife beautiful? I mean, like a 10 out of 10? Just curious because you never mentioned her appearance before so just thought I would ask. If you are shy to answer the question, then no worries, we totally understand.

While it's a subjective assessment, I think she's exceptionally beautiful. A strong 10 when me first met 16 years ago, and still arguably a good 10 now. She's put on a little weight over the 16 years, but in the right places 😄

A smart woman will stay with a good man even through the hard times, and a smart man will understand when he has a good woman and do whatever it takes to keep her happy, which usually means looking into her eyes when she talks and actually hearing what she has to say. The longer you stay together the more you bond, especially if you don't do any of the three no-no's.Everything else everyone does and is forgivable.

Three no-no's?

  1. Don't hit her (obviously and maybe no need to even mention this one?)

  2. No affairs

  3. ?

No more than 3 motorcycles?
