Why Do So Many Men Let Themselves Go Over Here?

[StreetCowboy]

Why do people always refer to their wives as "my Thai wife?"

I do that. It's so people know that I'm lucky enough to be married to someone that will still be attractive when I kick the bucket, and actually looks after me.

I take it you don't feel you've got long to go, then. Has she been checking the insurance details?

Me too funnily enough,I'm now popping out for a beer.

Very prudent, wearing the welding helmet when out on the scooter for a beer; four advantages I can think of immediately:

1) Less risk of being distracted by students in uniform

2) Unlikely that the police will notice you're steaming drunk when riding home

3) Unlikely to be dazzled by the sun

4) Helps maintain your emulsion-white complexion

EDIT: My apologies, Mr beachlovers, just a bit of a wind-up. No malice intended.

EDIT: Is letting yourself go different from letting rip?

Why would you need looking after when you've kicked the bucket old bean?

EDIT: I wish I hadn't got involved in this conversation in the first place.

I wonder if I should wax my beer gut?

Only if you are letting rip incessantly and involuntarily.

No matter what you look like, you are still "handsome man", so why bother dressing up?

Only if you are letting rip incessantly and involuntarily.

If its involuntary, you can't really accuse the gentlemen of letting himself go - a bit like my beer gut, it just burst out, and no amount of trousers could have contained it.

I asked in Watsons if they had special shampoo for a beer gut. It was a bit difficult to explain, and the security guard didn't seem to understand either

For your own self esteem and so as not to embarrass the wife/girlfriend if she dresses nicely?

Why would you need looking after when you've kicked the bucket old bean?

Mr Heavydrinker, I think you must be under the influence, LOL.

I'm sure that most would understand that I meant she looks after me now, while I'm alive.

Meanwhile, it's very pleasant waking up next to someone that doesn't look like a granny.

Yes we went shopping in Lotus today (i wore my new trousers) and i took a really good look at the guys there and to be honest at least 60% looked like rejects from the thrift shop

are "new trousers" such a watershed event that you need to go on on about them?

since when is a new pair of pants a big deal?

good god, i own about 20 pairs of jeans, whats the BFD?

No amount of trousers could have contained my beer gut. 20 pairs of jeans would not be enough. Perhaps Benny's dungarees might be up to it, or a smart pair of dress trousers in cavalry twill with appropriate striped braces. Out of interest, what does one do with 20 pairs of jeans? I'd have thought a more rational approach would be to have a variety of trews, though

Thai men fall into two categories.

Young and handsome .......... long jeans, t-shirt, flip-flops

Older and respectable ......... long trousers, polo shirt, black shoes

That's 90% of the Thai male population. Choose which group you want to join.

Dressing outside those parameters make you look a little bit weird (or a tourist).

Don't ever wear shorts, shorts are for tourists, children and weirdos.

Don't believe me, sit watching a road for 20 minutes, just looking at the Thai men passing by.

why do you insist upon referring to the backwater you call home as if it is definitive in some way?

Yes i was wondering that ,20 pairs of jeans? when do you get to wear them all and why in Gods name would anyone want 20 pairs?

I don't care about whom anyone else wakes up with.

However, if granny wants to wake up with a young stud, Thailand is good for that too ( or else the Caribbean is supposed to be good for that too ).

Every morning when I wake up, I thank God for bringing me to Thailand.

Don't knock it, till you've tried it.

You might be pleasantly surprised (both of you).

Thing is, you guys that are saying you dont care what people think you look like etc,which is fair enough.. BUT, on the flip side, i bet you would care if the women walking around you shared the same attitude!

Who let's themselves go? Certainly not...

Yep, beautiful women don't need that, and for " beautiful " i don't mean just the body

Who says that? Not me!

I overheard two Thai ladies talking about me in a market. They were wishing their husbands were 'as good a shape' as I was. They didn't realise I could understand Thai.

Guys..im talking about the notion of "letting yourself go", or not caring about your appearance to the extent of hardly bothering at all.

Some men talk about not caring about this (in regards to themselves), but i cant imagine them not caring if women were to do the same.

I think most men on the planet appreciate women who take care of themselves...as we do about men!
