can i ask,?

[Pralaad]

All you guys are so selfish , only self interest.

Only one thing would make me happy- world peace

And a hot 25 or so year old wife, along with any color Lamborghini

And to be able to speak fluent Thai , not Thai visa fluent but actually fluent , as I am sure if I did I would be able to achieve much more at 1/10th the costs

Moving back home should achieve your happiness

conditioned existence cannot be TRULY happy.

[villagefarang]

I am truly happy with my life.

[AYJAYDEE]

I am truly happy with my life.

then you have arrived

[Jay1]

I've got the lifestyle that I want right now. Have been in Thailand for 3 years and have had (and still have) some phenomenal times, some ups and downs, a relationship and a break up. I miss my buddies from home but when I went to visit last year I got to see that everyone has moved on with their lives and settled down so it's not like everyone is still going out all the time and I am missing out. I enjoy my job more than any job I have had and in my free time I can go where I want when I want and do what I want.

I really can't think of anything more I want right now.

[transam]

I am truly happy with my life.

Yep, me and the wife were happy for twenty years, then we got married.................

[harrry]

this working magumba isnt to bad nowadays,i can speak to mac every morning on skype, and she has to say hi now and again in the day,,lol, the lads in the office dont mind now,, but at 53 it still makes me go red, daft old sod,,lol

jake

Hire in help...that will at least double your workload.

[harrry]

I wish my wifes grown up kids would bugger off and do something useful. Ooooooooop's one has, I bet not for long...........Apron strings.........

Mate, they might check-out ... but they will never leave.

Yours to enjoy for life eternal ...

Just be sure that when they find the love of the life month, they don't set up shop at your place.

Sometimes they will if you put a lock on the fridge.

One could look at this topic from a count your blessings sort of angle, instead of what you lust after in life.

I have good health, enough money, happily married for 15 years to a loving wife 20 years my junior, great house, no kids, great views, plenty of toys and hobbies. If you look at what you already have, it often makes one feel better than thinking about the things you don’t have.

edit: I forgot to mention Cookie! Thanks Harrry.

Did Lara's post really deserve that vitriolic riposte?

Seems like any thread is an excuse to vent one's disdain for Western women.

[pigeonjake]

there are good girls about,

also there are good westem women about, my mum and dad(adopted) WERE MARRIED FOR 67 YEARS

just my ex wife was a bas###d,,,lol

I'm an idiot because I drink and smoke. So I'd be a much happier idiot if I could give them up.

Got a couple of properties, all the material possessions I need, and a beautiful daughter who has a degree from overseas but still requires maintenance from dear old dad. Live on my own, though this is not deliberate - just happy the way things are for the time being and in no hurry to change. I'm semi-retired and work part-time for my old company - I wish they could compress my work days into three instead of five, which would give me more time to travel around here - that would complete my happiness. Apart from growing my first crop of tomatoes.

...at least mine were fairly realistic. Yours are way out there..except the fluent Thai part..which i am pretty much there already. Its known as effort...you'll get there if you try hard enough (i mean the Thai language part)

Thank you ..but its water off a ducks back. Does not concern me because im all too aware of the "type" of men who judge entire nationalities on there own personal issues with women. Same as the flip side with some men who stereotype all Thai ladies as prostitutes. Sadly these mindsets exist.

Not quite sure what you mean by your 2nd sentence. I would have thought any man who had such issues with women was not intelligent enough to judge anybody. After all, it's mostly a question of being smart enough to understand negative attitudes and filtering them out. Up to you, mister.

Yes I am sure you are, very fluent.

[NoThainess4U]

anytime anyone in thailand isnt happy,

they should do this:

go to plentyoffish.com

type in female, ages 35-45

then look in aghast at what they look like and weigh

then, they demand to be entertained, wined and dines, traveled about, and at 40 still undecided if they want kids

it makes me want to cry

[SoiBiker]

Why bother with a woman with opinions, when you can pay one to pretend to agree with you at all times?

[Nignoy]

Had the good luck to do the Thailand bit before concrete hit Pattaya and Phuket, sadly 1st marriage was not to be, but after 50years still great friends with the inlaws in deepest Isaan, even with English wife no3 we get back as often as we can,being 90% disabled doesn't help, but after 16 years in aus, we packed a bag, stuck the dog in a box and here we are in the wilds of Bavaria on our way to southern spain, I am thinking of applying for another 6 hours in a day, just don't seem to have enough time these days,My enhancement wishes for the inlaws village would be, a 160kph speed limit through my yard,an automatic refill and oilcheck on my 60,s SWB Landrover, every one drives it, but no one fills the fxxxer up last of all when I fall off my perch please put an ample supply of Mekhong in the box with me

If you're not already truly happy, then no change in your external environment will give you lasting happiness.

im happier when the pigs are 100kilo and the flowers are out in our garden,,lol

but i do understand what you meen,

[4dyg]

everyday i am happy. i laugh multiple times. i walk up the street i have a smile on my face. but it still doesnt mean i have what i would believe to be an optimal life. more a reflection of my mostly good health. not having to interact with or see any western women at all helps a great deal too.. i can go for months without even catching a fleeting sight of one

Another big difference I have found between a thai wife and and a European wife,when a thai partner passes on, you don't have the job of digging her up after 6 weeks and nailing her Gob shut

I will never forget my Thai wifes first day in America. Just got off the plane and was walking down the concourse when

she said " Oh No,Oh No what happen to girl here, big body,big butt what happen here?

Later she said " Why everyone look at me, look,look. American girl give me bad look.

As I've have told her a few times since, look at them and then go look in a mirror.

You are a 100lb Stunner. To this day my wife ask's me " Why people stare at us " in America.

I have the most wonderful Thai wife in the world. : )
