@Colin *******

says the guy that then proceeds to rage bait. Why would you call something bullshit unless you know for a fact that it is. And if you don't know for a fact then why don't you just not say anything? I mean it would be better for everyone including you. Have a good day.

I understand but generally I just go with the flow. I do question things occasionally but I have found that it is usually a lot more irritating to me and never really gives me the answer I'm looking for.

Not something that many guys could do I think. But I also think that many guys could not tolerate Thailand for very long. Not that it needs to be tolerated in my opinion, but for some.... Yeah. And of course where in Thailand are we talking about? I found now after living in several different areas that each has its own charms and quirks.... But I love it here.

@James ******

I understand what the purpose of the group is, but I don't think it's a common complaint. In fact I think it's uncommon complaint. Sorry if I triggered you. didn't mean to...

My opinion.. just go in up to the bank and get yourself validated move on. this is Thailand not your country. Don't make assumptions and don't judge it by what happens at home. there are some hoops living here that you have to jump through. instead of complaining about it just do it and move on.

6 months ago I got a letter from my bank, I took MRT to the bank with my passport in hand and 30 minutes later most of it waiting for my turn I was done. It wasn't a big deal. they are trying to make sure that their customers are proper. The same you would do if you own a business and had questionable customers.

I read again and I stand by what I said. do better

@Ellen ************

as I thought. You are clueless. came in and insulted this guy. insulted him on his grammar, and then you try to make it sound like it's okay by trying to be wordy, and sound intelligent but, really not are you?

and then because I pointed out as I thought you attacked me. get a life I would recommend.

@Jim **********

so Jim you're naive enough to think that a woman who wants to find a partner or only talk to one at a time? when you did online dating if you did? did you only talk to one girl at a time? no disrespect to you Jim but you're not a good person to give advice. because with your attitude everyone would be suspect and therefore no one would be a good. so you would just stay away maybe you sit on the bar stool watching life go by? maybe he does not want that lifestyle? think before you speak 🙊

@Jonny ********

well it's not my train of thought or logic I cannot find any fault with what you say.

I suggest Arnold Schwarzenegger's book be useful. reading it helped me make some decisions and stick with them. as you say be careful but don't be so careful that you miss out on what could be one of the best things in your life.

@Ellen ************

why do people always come out when somebody misspells a word and then holds that in front of them like a massive achievement?

and if you come back with insults towards me I'll block you immediately.

I have two thoughts I guess. One is that your statement or question is sincere but lacks experience and time. I understand why you say what you say, cuz I said the same thing sort of at that point in my relationship.

many of the people with negative comments will be ones who chose wrong. who got burned by the wrong one he did not make good choices. how do you know it's not easy and it's not rocket science. at our age and I'm not as old as you but close we have experience to draw on you say that you can spot a scam a mile away and that is good but this is Asia. your standards for reference are going to be a bit off. be careful.

I have been in the same relationship with the same women since I arrived. and before we talked every night on video chat for hours I thought I knew her pretty well and I do, but there's many things culturally that I don't even understand. I may never understand. and sometimes I find out the hard way. so far though I've been able to bounce back from all of that and everyday our relationship is better. there is no reason why you cannot have a good relationship with the woman in her mid-40s. just take it slow at first and be careful. be ready for a life-changing experience.
