Thread: Being single ain't so bad

Been married already, twice. It was okay, had some children and that was nice. I've lived in The Third World 25 years and have attracted some interest from the ladies, but I never considered hooking up with one.

Single life is good in many ways, as long as women are still attracted to you and your pistol is still loaded, I can't see myself getting married again, not at my age.

How about you? Where/Are you content as a single man or woman?

Depends on my mood, but mostly yes. I'm really independent, and most of my friends are men. I'd have to have a really confident, and secure man.....

I'm sure you'll bump into Scampy at Timba's.

If I had been married two times, being single would be me for life. One marriage should be enough to put me off a second time. I admire you for doing it a second time

Do you sell dildos?

Marriage sucks until it's time to make breakfast, iron your shirts, bathe the dogs, scratch that itch in the middle of your back, clip your toenails or share a drink as the sun sets on the river.

I couldn't stay single very long.

So, you'll wait til you're impotent and ugly to start looking for a wife? Lucky girl.

Not looking at all. I already was married. I didn't have what it takes, especially with fidelity. It's best I stay clear.

Can't imagine a good reason to marry. Historically women marry for security, men marry to get laid. Love is a romantic dilusion. If men can get laid without getting married they are far better off single. If you can't get laid in Thailand what can I say.

IMO marriage is just a display of conformity, aka weakness.

Admittedly, I don't see the point of marriage either. I have no qualms about monogamy but marriage seems artificial and unnecessary.

In much the same way I imagine one can only read a book by buying the bookstore?

I quite share in your disdain. Leering at the whoopsies at such an age is positively shameful and only becomes acceptable behaviour when one enters the next decade.

Marriage is a tedious affair but it does have its blessings in that one becomes re acquainted with the pleasure of leering at........

He likes to get his knob out at Timba's, apparently.

Go to Timba's and invite Scampy.

Hmmm... food for thought.

Trying to stay single, but it's hard work sometimes. Bummer

I almost start to hyper-ventilate at the thought of me being single again.

Meaningless one night stands and having nobody to share things with is not my cup of tea anymore.

My wife and children are the reasons behind me getting out of bed in the morning and off to work. If I didn't have these people in my life I imagine I would self destruct in a short space of time.

I can honestly say my wife is also my best friend.

been with current GF for some years now. And still able to lead a singles lifestyle from time to time. Night out with the lads. Fresh girls to play with.
Really just a question of being with the right partner that allows you the freedom to play.

Yeah......right.
Like discussing poo and the difference between certain brands of toothpaste.

Being single and "working" as a gigalo for bangkok hotter office girls who want some farang action is terrible!

Yeah...I know, I've done it (seriously).

I figure marriage is a fabulous institution - until it all goes to shit and then one would cut there legs off to escape the horrible situation of being with someone that you no longer can stand being around.

Some of the saddest buggers you will meet are the guys who are in a dead end marriage but are stuck with it because of the children or there financial situation.

I feel that Surr Burrs views are honorable but bordering on fantasy, if he has a woman who gives him so much pleasure I applaud him as there would be maybe 10 percent of the population who are in this situation, the rest suffer in silence or are just plain afraid to go it on there own.

I find that being able to operate single, enjoying ones life in a way they want to lead it gives one a certain inner strength as where having to be with someone because they are afraid to be alone is pathetic and a recipe for disaster in later life.

Lets face facts, its piss easy to find a partner especially in Thailand but its hard to stay single with the amount of available women that are around.

Embrace your singleness, love your life and just have a girlfriend sometimes, we ain't got time to waste with bad relationships.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.
