I'm sure their are many happy old men here on TV, but forums are a form of debate and debates always lead to arguments and arguing does not really mean they are unhappy, when they turn the pc off they are probably very happy and return to there life.

Those that are unhappy, regardless of age generally had serious issues at home and moved to Thailand for a fresh start, This is like sweeping the dirt from one corner of your living room to the other corner, your room will still be a mess until you pick it up.

Going on a TV rant daily is not an indication of unhappiness, you can go on a rant here, head to the beach for a relaxing swim and fine food then get laid as most probably do with their ladies.

perhaps a name change from " grumpy old mens forum " to the rant and ravers forum " biggrin.png

there are many grumy young men too, why do you think there are so many grumpy old men when most of us dont show our age . Most of us love living here if we didnt we would be living somewhere else.

"I like thailand , I chose to come here thailand did not choose me to come. I find that overall the thai people are well behaved with good manners and have a happy outlook on their life which for many is hard and a constant challenge for survival."

Then what on earth are you doing here?coffee1.gif

I guess the 'Age Difference In Relationships in Thailand' thread has a 'new' challenger!

The grumpy ones on that thread are the young things who don't see a future for themselves.

> After reading many postings and comments I see being made on this site

> I wonder why there is not a forum specific for grumpy old men

Huh? I thought this IS the forum for grumpy old men?

Clearly you're in the wrong place. Now please get with the program and find some fault with stuff around you, very much including other Farangs, and very much including the word Farang itself, and Farangs who use it, and sentences with too many commas that go on and on, and ones that don't end properly in a period, and

Reading some of the posts on TVF a more apt name would be the " I'm On Lithium And My Prescriptions Run Out" forum. biggrin.png

The grumpiness on this forum doesn't mean that the posters are actually grumpy people in real life.

I would actually argue alot of it isnt just "grumpy" and verges on hate from some very troubled/trapped/disillusioned people.

I recall a post I did on here sometime ago asking a simple question regarding possible providers of food for my wedding. Of the ten of so replies, 8 were just raw abuse of myself and my wife to be - despite the fact no one knows me or anything about me.

It leads me to believe that many on here do indeed just scar this forum to let off steam. It acts as a kind of release valve for them to vent their inner frustration at thier own lives. That frustration possibly stems from the feeling of isolation in a foreign land being sucked dry, to jealousy of people with their life ahead of them. (rather than behind them with nothing but death in a sleepy Thai village to look forward to.)

It is not just here. it is all over social media. I have been running a website and forum, within its own non public, specific genre, for 16 years. thaivisa is not unique by any standards.

So, to all the happy people in the world, stick around, don't go. Don't let the bastards win!

phew , i'm glad that you said that and not me , now i guess all the wasps will come out of their hives and sting both of us. So i better protect my ass and make the point YOU SAID IT NOT ME ,

yes I have been at the sharp point of a couple of comments towards me that has not been all that flattering in content with one particular posting i made on tv. ( between you and me i totally agree with you on most of what you said ) ssshhh w00t.gif but dont tell everyone lets keep that a secret between us . hahaha laugh.png

Most forums on the internet are filled with complaints and irrelevant BS, these forums just focus the two on Thailand

Whilst I agree to a point, on other forums I am a member (mostly sport and one political site) I would not be subject to litany of abusive posts when asking an innocuous question about catering!

Someone could do a post about the weather on here and still likely get a response his wife is a money grabbing whore. (clearly from someone seething about their own mistakes)

TV, IMHO, is at a different level than any other forum I frequent.
