TommoPhysicist Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It really should not be relevant Tommo It's relevant to every western female, who will be judging you at one glance on your relative ages and nothing else. (It's also relevant to western courts, if you ever want to see the kids from your previous marriage again) So you are saying it is relevant to strangers and as an individual you should worry about strangers, who have no impact on your life or journey, and what their perception of your relationship is? That was the whole point of the thread, what people thought of men traveling to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Its a nice park, though the animal enclosures are not the best. I would recommend taking a trip there, though, to form your own opinion. We enjoyed a go on the pedalos, as I recall. The first time I was there I broke a filling on a portion of kentucky fried chicken, but I don't blame the zoo for that.

Popular Post smokie36 Posted July 31, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2012 So to those guys on this thread that came out with the garbage about getting laid, you are desperate sick minded people. The fact that your mind runs immediately into that gutter is a reflection upon your class, which is......no class. Your mother's would be so proud. Yeh but, in the end, you and Smokie are still sleeping with Thai ladies, probably a lot younger than you ........... Which is of course the real truth to the matter. Your last statement simply is not true. Just so you know Tommo. To the other poster who talks of me being a "sex tourist", I will have to assume my gf was on a sex tourism holiday when she visited me in Europe last month shall I? I find those comments personal and offensive to both of us. you and TB only had to say ......'I'm 42 and my gf is 40' and the comments wouldn't have been made. But you both avoided doing that for some reason. I'm not in my forties yet Tommo, and there is an eighteen month age difference between myself and my gf. There is no need to be posting derogatory remarks aimed at individual members and certainly not at our partners. That is well beyond acceptable. Stick to the topic. The tales of our travels are merely for those members who enjoy reading about it, if you don't then don't read them. Do not aim any more of these comments at myself or my girlfriend. That goes for other members on this thread as well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better that you inform TB not to include you and your gf in his posts. As once a topic is posted it's always a free-for-all, and as long as we stay withing forum guidlines ............

Popular Post canuckamuck Posted July 31, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I for one enjoyed Blether's posts about his little holiday experiences. Quite full of positive and useful information and in a very good spirit as well. Something we could all benefit from. It is such a shame that there are such people on this forum that feel he deserves to be penalized for that. And others from here that can't imagine going to bar to socialize rather than rent random orifices. For what its worth, older guy + younger lady is nothing new on this earth, especially when there is some wealth involved. Nothing wrong with that either, both sides get what they wanted (at first at least). A monogamous relationship does not fit in the category of sex pat or sex tourist.

Trembly Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Does it matter how many local partners you have to be classed sex tourist? I think one is all it needs. If you are a tourist. Well Tommo, that might be your perception and indeed your unique definition, however the accepted travel definition is more like the following; sex tourism. Travel undertaken primarily or exclusively by men from developed countries, usually to third world countries, for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity, often of an extreme, forbidden, or illegal nature. http://www.travel-in...ex-tourism.html That last bit "often of an extreme, forbidden, or illegal nature" sounds like it could have been written by Germaine Greer. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurwait Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Tommo, did you mention your wife's age and your own? Otherwise that statement is just gonna make you look worse. Some like to keep it private not because there is an age difference but because it's nobody's business. I'm 57 and she's 35 (as I have posted on many threads in the past). If someone wants to call me a sexpat, fair enough (although she is the only Thai I have ever had sex with). Not even your fiancee ?

I hope you don't. It's nice to have someone to write to. I live in quite an isolated province. There are few farangs here. Sometimes it gets a bit lonely. I came to Thailand as a sex tourist. I was never spotty or geeky or nerdy when I was young. I was just never really interested in girls. At first (in my thirties), I wanted to go to Cuba. Back then, Cuba was a great destination for sex tourists. But it was hard to get a visa. So I came to Thailand. It was good at first. I had sex with about 50 or 60 girls. I felt like a real man. But it soon got boring. And that kind of lifestyle doesn't appeal to me anymore. I have a partner now. And I'm monogamous. Yes, people will judge you if you are single and come to Thailand. People probably judged me, too. I think I probably denied the truth at first. But now I accept everything. Thailand gave me a chance to have a new life. Sex (and sexual inexperience brought me here), but all of that was years ago. We all move on. We all come to terms with our past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our comments are intended to he helpful, then we can only hope that the recipient can jusge whether they are relevant or not. If they are not intended to be helpful, then perhaps we could consider how much benefit the comment actually gives anyone (obvioulsy, my own comments are of such biting wit and humour that they are a joy for the reading public no matter how irrelevant and poorly aimed!) I try not to take offence at any of the postings offered; for if it was intended, then I would be giving the attacker what he wished by taking offence, while if it was not intended, then I should be taking what was never offered. Of course, in the former case, it is be much easier to shrug off the abuse that is so clearly wide of the mark as to be a laughable indictment of the perpetrator's ignorance (Aye - like them birds calling you 'hansum man?'

NomadJoe Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well said Blether: Thailand is indeed a wonderful country. I think that there is a different attitude from tourists who visit and enjoy the Northern areas, like Chiang Mai, and a different attitude from tourists who visit areas like Phuket or Pattaya. You mean Patong, not Phuket. Phuket is the size of Singapore with a million people and has wonderful natural resources and beauty. Pattaya and Patong are dirty beaches and seedy sex-tourist centers that are exploitative and smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 What does peregrantions mean and why do you feel the need to use words of such gargantuan proportions ? Does google not work on your computer? I think he use 'pereginations' because it was he right word. He could have used a less precisely-accurate synonym, but that would not have got his point across so well. We are lucky that people help us expand our vocabularies, rather thn catering to the lowest common denominator.
