As A Young...

[CanadianChicken]

I never meant to sound like im tooting my own horn. Im simply listing factors that effect me and who i am and how the thai people might interpret this. I came here for wisdom by being honest and straightforward, aparently my search for wisdom will lead me somewhere else.

[eek]

Try not to get put off CC, if more people like you stick around, this forum will be more balanced.

The majority of members, are male and generally "older" males (very VERY few female members).

It makes the forum pretty unbalanced, with often relatively one sided view points.

Hope you will stick around and help the forum generate a more balanced (and optimistic!) vibe.

Best of luck, whatever you decide.

Maybe, but I am sure most people here are just trolling. It happens on all forums, members say things just to talk about things and even like getting a rise out of some others.

I am sure most of the members on here are not a miserable as they seem.

[CanadianChicken]

Thanks, heh. I'd love to post more and learn more about the place I now call home. I'll try to not let jaded, rude posters aggitate me though I'm very short-tempered at times, regardless though, I'll be sticking around.

[lazygourmet]

I am so glad that twenty years ago -when i decided to hit the road- there were no internet forum...

Otherwise, I might be still behind my keyboard asking permanently myself "Should I stay or should I go!"

Ive often noticed members launching an attack when a poster mentions that he is a young man who considers himself attractive. Its not like you older guys are short of female attention..from girls a quarter of your age even. So why the hostility? Surely, when there is so much ego boosting for all men, regardless of age or body condition, there really cant be insecurity? Or is it envy? Or what?

Anyway, good luck OP, you have already had some good advice, so hope you find your stay a happy one and meet good people who keep your outlook positive!

A quarter of my age would be 9 so that really doesn't apply to me.

A wind up isn't hostile, I'm sure he can see that.

Anyway I'm sure he won't leave on the back of a bit of banter.

Don't worry about being good looking.

Many people have been known to overcome their disabilities.

Your strength clearly lies in your modesty.

Just work on that.

[ayayay]

dude, eh sorry, chicken, you might have been good lookin by Canadian standard, but here in Thailand, you are in for some competition, we are ALL good lookin´ here, just sayin´

[jacktrip]

your a young buck in the big city, exploitation is a definite possibility

what is a man?

[Bagwan]

All of the above apply wherever you are in the world.

Basically, don't do anything you wouldn't do at home.

I got three ladies pregnant in Canada. Just thought I would mention that.

So you didn't man up but fled to Thailand?

[Bagwan]

I would disagree with one point that Beetlejuice made in his long, informative and sensible post. A good Thai lady won't follow you everywhere if everywhere is a beer bar. My wife absolutely refuses to enter one, and I don't blame her. Don't go often myself these days. Thank God for enhanced sensibility - or is that senility?

How dare you compare your own standards with mine. I have three daughters in Canada and three grandchildren now.

why get indignant? the way you phrased it was obviously intended to be controversial.

[PomRakBKK]

Lets not give the guy such a hard time. He is new in town and not everyone is a retired expat with a "hiso" isaan wife

How old are you?

Where do you stay?

Yeah but, when we older men come out and boast about how handsome we all are, you collapse laughing.

Annnnnd what is an attractive male, hmmmm, seems Quasimodo and King Kong were not on my handsome list gut they did OK with the ladies.

I am very attractive.

I have my own calendar.

I'd not be such a cocky arrogant <deleted> if I wasn't so handsome; same as the rest of you, I suppose

Just keep in mind that arrogance is kind of frowned upon more in Thailand, as is selfishness. If you keep a modest profile, and share things with others, you should be fine.

As a Canadian, (i am one too) don't forget how much people kind of diss Canadians (SOME -americans think we are bland, Europeans think we are lower class boring Americans, thais think we are selfish and arrogant (an in some cases ugly), and then you have your country being becoming this big mouth to Iran lately, dumping the kyoto accort, mass arests...

Just keep in mind, many people don't like a good looking Canadian with a bright future, they will try to cut you down.

Rubbish. I have yet to meet anyone that has those sentiments. Most people don't care. It just might be you.

I am very handsome, i have blonde hair, 1,78 cm. My weight is 80 kg. I work out on a regular basis, my biceps looks very nice when I walk and I swing my arms in the same rythm as I walk.

My hips almost dances when I walk, as I got rythm in my blood. If you see me in profile you will see I have a perfect nose shape, and my teeths are very traight and extremely white.

i am very good looking, and when I smile, the girls usually melt.

I want to know, whats the price of a Dvd here in Bangkok?

Oh you are the 18 year old guy, here with his parents, with no job and no education beyond high school?

How is your future bright, ie. what plans do you have?

Just wondering.

[Sharp]

Wear your seatbelt and watch out for potholes in the road.

Yep there the main things for me too....

You are obviously a smart young guy, what I mean to say is there is no point in resting on your laurels at this stage.

Get out there and go to school, for example, and people will notice you as you go about your daily activities.

You may well even encounter some other students who want to practice their English.

Good luck!
