Swiss1960 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The problem with the OP is that he hasn't yet mastered the art of boasting-without-appearing-to-be-boasting. It's really a fine line and if you don't get it right, you come across as being a pretentious, pompous, egotistical nitwit. Sorry OP, but you've got to do better. And I mean that in the most sincere way. between you and me: i'm turning up the volume a bit:) My bonafides will be established today. You are either too stupid to get the message or to arrogant... once again, nobody gives a shit about your bonafides... but you piss a lot of people off by bragging about them... - when I tell you that my degree is from a top-10 wordwide tech university -does it make me a better person? - when I tell you that my EMBA is from a top-5 worldwide University - does it make me a better person? - when I tell you that my income is higher than $200K - does it make me a better person? - when I tell you about my alumnies and other charters I join - does it make me a better person? And when it comes to friends... my true friends come from Kindergarden to High School to University to Business to Alumnies... some are bluecoat, some whitecoat, some CEO, some government workers (including government heads in Switzerland) - now that says something about me, because it says that I am not such a bragging fool, otherwise my friends would not accept me their friend... so I must be a pretty nice and decent person, completely independant from all degrees and alumnies I might or might not have... Now... who did you say are your friends??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I bet our experiences are comparable...perhaps mine even a bit superior.. I have a local id, I have a military bearing , I ... tip well.., my hot girl has other hot girls . In Vegas we will normally get comped. I punch above my weight. I can suspect that you are a connoisseur of the libertine as i am. True friendship is only between peers after college. There are very few women of my lady's quality (looks). The problem is that I cant find peers. The problem seems to be... that you are such a showoff and arrogant as hell, that any peer you might ever meet will find out in the first 30 seconds of your conversation... he would neither finish his single malt (and I am sure you have no idea what a good single malt means and probably will mix it with ice...) nor eat the sushi you so kindly offer in your desperate try to find somebody you can impress with all your shit... This to me seems the most accurate description of the problem... The problem with the OP is that he hasn't yet mastered the art of boasting-without-appearing-to-be-boasting. It's really a fine line and if you don't get it right, you come across as being a pretentious, pompous, egotistical nitwit. Sorry OP, but you've got to do better. And I mean that in the most sincere way. In this day and age, what with Google and all, it does not make sense to lie about things that are public information, and unfortunately, once you get caught in a few easily substantiated lies, no one ever believes anything you say.

Rajab Al Zarahni Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have my doubts that your girlfriend is depressed. I think the problem lies within you but you haven't yet reached that point of insight where you can see it. Your postings have a certain modest and understated quality about them, indicative of a fixation at the anal erotic phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I doubt you went to an Ivy, Stanford, Amherst, or UChicago. If you did you would not have written what you did. Ding ding ding. We have a winner. It's precisely because I did that I wrote what I did. The people I was referring to I met at Stanford and at grad school. You would be impressed who I know, who I partied with, who I have dirty little secrets about from their days at college. You would know their names. However, people such as myself don't name drop. We also keep the secrets of our friends. You also would be really surprised at who else is actually on this forum. Like really well educated people. Like really fabulously wealthy people. You would never guess because they don't talk about it...and neither will I. In regards to your comment about the Las Vegas electricity bill, you are actually right. It can go up to $400 if you crank the electricity. I just wasn't in the house much to use it last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelmann Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 You don't get it, do you? It is absolutely irrelevant whether the things you told us about yourself and your girl are true or not... it's about the way you are bragging and behaving... it's the way you talk about your girl, not a single word about whether you love her or not, it's all about her 5'9 and her boobs and her top notch looks... it's your way asking about advice but at the same time telling everybody "if you're not in my league then don't talk to me"... I am sure, there are dozends of members on this forum who also have a top notch university degree, who are better connected in the top tier society than you are, who have higher and steadier income for more years than you have and who are highly successful business people... so far in the year that I am member here on Thaivisa, with the exception of you, I have not seen anybody bragging about himself the way you do... Good am. The issue of bonafides may not be important to you--an astute person can nominally distinguish between the charlatan, the exasgerant, and the legit--but to many of the chattering geriatrics on here it is. Thus I will prove them wrong by the end of the day. Of course, i will then be attacked as being an aloof elitist or whatever else but it will make for interesting banter. Again, not to be rude, but 75% of the responses are not germane to my question. The question is not if I am nice, if I am cool, if I am a vegan, if I am rich or whatever. The question is: Does anyone have any experience with keeping a high end tier 1 model type happy in Thailand? Not if I love her or not? I highly suspect that folks here would not...it's different demographic here...but I felt it was worth a shot as one never knows. Look, it's hard to impart context in cyberspace. I'm actually unassuming and quite affable upon first glance. I am not a braggart in person. it's evident that i am well educated not broke but, then again, it takes a person of similar ilk to recognize this. But yea, you are right: my question does come across a bit like like Lady Gaga asking the pizza deliveryman: How do you keep the paparazzi at bay? But context is important to impart on a messageboard. And the only reason why i was harping on her looks--and she is not really that hot, just a average Victoria Secrets Model--is because it indicates that she has few peers here. And women just dont hang with other women that are not in their demographic. I wish she was not so tall. I think its her height more than anything else that intimidates the Thais. I hope this helps. And no, i don't think there are tons of ivy league one percenters hanging out in Bangkok. If there are, please let me know so i can go to their networking events. I never said I earned a high income. Quite the contrary, I don't earn enough...lol.. Ok so the question is how do you keep a top notch best in the world better than all of us top model in Bangkok...............you find her someone of her own standing, the implication being you are not worthy.

Yes the frame was definately extra. They mail the diploma in an envelope. It was the top of the line frame that the school sells for extra $$. (They make some extra cash selling the sweatshirts, the mugs, the watches with the emblem on it.) I didn't actually care what frame I put it in. But my mom wanted it.

Thank you. I myself never thought it was that impressive (and kind of feel weird that I even have mentioned it). Believe me, I have met alot of people that did not get an opportunity to even go to or finish college that I knew were more intelligent than me. What separated me from them was just birth, luck, circumstances, not their intelligence or drive. Now we know... you are an elite bastard... are we still allowed to talk to you??? I fixed it for you. I am simply a bastard. Of course you may still talk to me...provided you first make arrangements through my various manservants... Is this Stanford school different than any other ?

simon43 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If you don't like this kind of problem you might consider finding a girlfriend with a mental age higher than 12 I think that's the most sensible suggestion so far... The OP might not like the suggestion, but he will not be able to reduce his own 'suffering' if he continues to support and pamper a person who by his own description sounds like a spoilt brat.
