I will ignore you if you continue to act like a child, so you either read this and answer or troll others until they also ignore you.

You nor anyone else has ever seen me have any distorted views on anything.

That's plain jealousy, as I raised 6 children, was married, had many decent girlfriends, always treat women with respect, working out over 50 years, do not go by opinions but factual evidence, believe in God, have many friends, traveled around a few countries along with research on them from reputable sources, do not lie, cheat or neglect my family or friends, treat others with respect until they prove themselves toxic, then call them out and eventually ignore them, love good music, movies and food, animal lover, do not take sides politically, and give all the benefit of the doubt until they show their true colors.

This is reality, for me and most others worldwide that aren't users, prejudiced, liars, manipulators, cheats or abusers. Thailand is more than Temples, Muay Thai and Festivals. That can be found anywhere.

Thailand is what it is, no matter if people are in denial or not. Everyone who lives here knows the real Thailand unless they don't leave their condos, especially if you have Thai relations, which gives you much more integration than just having sex with random girls and eating Pad Krapow.

Everyone watches all kinds of movies, and it has no bearing on how they are as people.

You are so out of the game it's incredible. You have no children, never been married, over 35, have no home, steady woman or likely friends.

You're not of retired age yet say you live here. How is that I might ask? Criminal or millionaire? You exaggerate about everything, think you're an expert on Thailand yet have no proof you've ever been here, relying on AI for your answers, which a grammar school child could do.

Try answering mine and other's questions, honestly like I have all along, because your jealousy is astounding, seeing you say I have no life yet I have more accomplished having one child than you ever will traveling from hotel to hotel, banging hundreds of paid women, along with all the other unproven nonsense you speak. I won't come back again, because you, like your other partner you fight with, aren't worth anyone here's time. Answer the questions, or admit you're a fraud.

You must watch sick movies. I would never watch trash like that. Explains why you are so weird.

I met my partners in smaller cities. High quality locals but less English. I speak Thai though so more easy. Be harder to meet a partner in Bangkok as people are busy and Patts more gold diggers.

So cute to see you and @fredwiggy laughing at each others 'jokes'.

I can visualise you two passing notes to each other at the back of the class, giggling together. That might explain why you both did so poorly at school. 😊

It's actually quite funny how instead of replying directly to me, he writes about me in the third person to someone else.😊 Like a disturbed child ...yet he sees himself as the adult in the room 😊 Birds of a feather, supporting each other in their delusions.

Again I sit back and watch the forum's biggest trolls discussing another member, and in a little while, they'll again be at each other's throats, trying to one up each other's high school taunts.

They continue to answer for other members, all the while not understanding how hated they both are.

One with the highest negative count in forum history, and the other, supposedly happy in life, coming back to insult every member who disagrees with him, with the same deflections, assumptions and false statements he's used for many years in 10 different usernames (personalities?) Using the same ones with every member, attacking their character without knowing one personally. Mommy and daddy to blame. not teaching boundaries nor respect for his superiors.

This is like Psychology 100, where the psychiatry students watch the goings on at a mental institute, seeing the Jekyll and Hyde personalities attack each other, then sitting down to play checkers. This is also why I won't interact with them any longer, as their fragile state cannot take much more in the way of evidence against them, as they might implode, and sadly, might take their anger out on innocent women.

This is from AI, to describe where it originates...............People who habitually put others down generally do so to regulate their own fragile self-esteem. By diminishing others, they attempt to elevate their own social standing, mask deep-seated insecurities, or project their unresolved frustrations outward.

Psychologically, this behavior often stems from a few key areas:

• Low Self-Esteem: A need to compensate for feelings of inadequacy by making others appear "smaller."

• Lack of Empathy: Difficulty connecting with others emotionally, often associated with narcissistic traits or a focus on self-gratification.

• Projection: Attributing their own flaws, failures, or insecurities onto someone else to avoid self-reflection.

• Learned Behavior: Mimicking communication styles they grew up with or using dominance to feel in control of their environment.

Poor Fred, stuck in Sisaket bored for 8 years. Ranting on about narcs when he is one. Easy to see why he had 90 failed relationships. Only a female nutter like him would stick around.

How can you hate a stranger online? People who do that must be sick.

It is a chat room about Thailand.

I don't hate anyone on here and if there are posters who feel the opposite they should see a doctor and get help. All just words on a screen.

See many elderly men hanging out at beach road at Jomtien and Pattaya, seems like an alternative to the bar life for some. Same faces every day when walking past, sitting there with their 7/11 groceries

If you see the same faces every day, that must mean you are haning there too, right?

Name 5 areas where Patts beats Bangkok?

I don't see it much as a competition, and it would be comparing an ocean liner to a small cabin cruiser. Bangkok is a huge, sprawling city of 11 million people. Pattaya is medium-size city, with an ocean limiting its boundaries on one side. Completely different vessels.

Pattaya is much more compact and manageable, which many prefer over a huge city. Even living on the Darkside, I can be about anywhere I want to be beach side in 15 minutes or so. Negotiating Bangkok is usually a larger, more complex undertaking.

In an earlier post, I listed in detail one area where Pattaya excels over Bangkok--housing variety, selection, and pricing. So, that's one, and a big one for residents, both full or part-time.

I think some Pattaya residents would list livability as another area that Pattaya might best Bangkok. We like spending time in Bangkok--we're there now--but we both give a little sigh of relief when we get back to Pattaya. Yes, Pattaya has traffic problems but they pale in comparison to Bangkok. It's a more relaxed lifestyle for us in Pattaya.

Many things are also just easier to accomplish in Pattaya. Today, before leaving for Bangkok, we had our car washed at a place across the street from our housing project. 79 baht for a fast, 4-step very good wash process--we didn't even have to get out of the car. I have no idea where I would get the car washed in center city Bangkok. Small thing, of course, but there are lots of small, everyday things like that which are just easier in Pattaya. Gassing up the car, grocery shopping, hitting the fresh markets, finding workers to do things, etc. Very easy in Pattaya.

Some expats with families might prefer the Pattaya suburbs, and the large selection of private schools, to living with a family in Bangkok.

Pattaya's size is, in my opinion, not too big but big enough to offer most of the things I look for when I choose a place to live. I like that it's small enough for us to establish good relationships with service people we see on a regular basis. They know us and we get good service, probably better than we might get in huge Bangkok.

Both places have pluses and minuses. For us, we enjoy the pluses they both have, which outweigh the minuses.

Wow... I fully agree with you on that point. Generating hate within themselves. What is the point of that? Dumb and Dumber...

I'm beginning to wonder if @fredwiggy and @Hummin were the sole children in the family. It's completely normal to be able to disagree on one point and agree on another. Maybe they didn't have any siblings nor friends growing up.

In crazy minds, we are "at each other's throats" if we have a different point of view on a particular subject.

It appears, for them, it's a prerequisite to feel hate to the point of not ever being able to behave normally with that person again. That is their norm?

Funny guys...

I discuss topics unlike yourself. I compared Patts to Bangkok, Phuket and CM.

Try it sometime. Actually discuss THAILAND.

You are talking to a computer screen on a Thai forum. Many seem to forget what forum they are on.

Again with your mirror nonsense, just like your buddy and his obsession with himself. Such a limited vocabulary. Just repeating the same tactics and methods towards anyone who sees through your childish game of pretending that you stand above everyone else. You are the gossipy chicken 😊

When someone takes a neutral observation and makes it personal, as some here do with every post, they colour it with their own experiences and project them onto the person they are replying to.

Your reply to @Gottfrid was lame. That's all there is to it. You could have just laughed it off. But you are just too...sensitive, to do that. Always trying to deflect.
