We've gotten away with it before. Chase Bank offered us a deal, we took it, cashed the miles in, and dumped them. Two round trip tickets to Hawaii. We put our bills on autopay to that card for three months, that's all we had to do! There's really two phases to this. The other side of it is cashing in miles correctly. I can get one free international trip for 60,000 miles, that is the best deal I have with my partners today. Other partners are 70,000 and much higher. I am going to do an experiment. I will not reveal what it is until if and when the miles are in t

We just signed up for a card that will pay for one-way to Asia as a signing bonus. We have to charge $5K in the first 3 months. It's 2 miles per dollar spent, twice what we have now. We'll have enough to do the trip in a few months, given what we have in mileage accounts already. Money should be spent on family. Because that produces pussy. In developing our strategy, I read some articles. Some guys cycle credit cards, signing up for the bonus and then cancelling the card one day after getting the rewards. They keep a spreadsheet on all the cards they are juggling so

Sure, wonderful people. Great example: I was in a car load of people coming back from a visit to a remote project area and we came upon a dog walking on the side of the road. The driver swerved over on purpose to hit the dog. When the vehicle hit the dog it hurt him badly but he wasn't dead, and suffering terribly - howling in agony. All of the passengers thought that was hilarious, but when they saw how horrified I was and demanding to go back and help the dog they started insisting the dog had not been hit. steamer mentioned how rude they can be blocking people on the sidewalk

I don't think they are attractive, and not just physically. It wouldn't matter if she was the current Miss World - their attitude is so cold that it makes them unattractive. I spoke limited Russia in the years I was working there, but that had nothing to do with why they were such cold people. Decades of communism killed a lot of human qualities in people like compassion, empathy, and courtesy. I've been to many countries where I did not speak the language but the people were warm as can be. In Russia they told me not to smile, to walk with my head down and a scowl on my face. My handlers

So you're saying I'll be back at 42 baht per dollar, and girls surging into P4P from all corners of Thailand at the same time as the domestic debt-backed boom goes bust. Sounds good to me. :)

I noticed how you are relentlessly evading talking about your own OP - the claim that there is a POPULAR myth in existince about ALL Thai girls wanting to marry Falangs. Apparently, you have plenty of time to desperately comb through someone's entire posting history trying to find some out-of-context "gotchya". But you can't seem to find even a single person seriously saying ALL Thai girls want to marry a Falang, let alone show it is a POPULAR myth.

Get a grip on why you are being slammed so hard by so many lately: being intentionally nasty after asking people their opinion The point was to explain Thai girls are attracted to a lot of things having nothing to do with being a Falang per se, which you know is true, but you are being argumentative just for spite. That's right, in the very post you quote-mined from I would have been saying that the girls like a guy that does not drink. This is a statement about what Thai girls like, not something I am claiming moral high ground with. I couldn't care less that you drink. And you

Like I said, you aren't very honest. YOU are the one who started this with a claim about POPULAR myths, in both the title and the OP: I have been hammering you for choosing your number one POPULAR myth to be something that is not a popular myth at all. You also just quoted someone who, just like you, is pretending this is a myth... but not quoting anyone saying it. Instead, it is another lame straw man asserting that it is a myth but disagreeing with it. So that's where you find this so-called myth: stated by people are "disproving" it. We have yet to see where

I'll be there for four months this year. I won't hear anyone stating what you claim to be a myth. A myth is something prevalent, not something only an idiot believes. Absolutely. I don't drink, smoke, or gamble. University Professor. Athlete. You'll find that combination is very highly respected in Thailand. None of those are "Falang". That's why you could not quote me saying "falang" was the reason I had so much opportunity for marriage. You are not a very honest person and that's another thing Thais don't like much. When they see you going so far out of yo

You pretended there was a myth that ALL Thai girls want to marry falangs. You haven't presented any evidence that this myth is in existence - just exaggerated what someone else said.

That is not even close to saying ALL of them want to MARRY a falang. I've had a lot of them say the same thing to me. These statements are not coming from the top-end University girls who have been prepared their whole lives by professional class parents for professional class husbands. The Issan farm girl with a 6th grade education is not in the running for a Thai investment banker. For that class of girl, yeah - lazy drunks are in her option set. and she wants to do better.

I have never seen anyone make that claim. Some observe that many bargirls would rather be married to a farang than working in the bar. But that is a completely different statement.

Many mental health disorders appear with mild effect early in adulthood and grow progressively worse to the point that without outside intervention they become exactly like this. Textbook case, so common across the homeless. There are some quite idiotic suggestions about "Thailand" eating him up or maybe being a sponsor or barowner. I lost my closest internet friend to Bipolar, watching her go from a major California City government department head, running their whole computer information system to a nearly helpless person being cared for. We've lost touch now. This is what mental

Why would I take offense? Not sure what you mean here with this broadcasting of bringing this girl to Pattaya and then trying to shame people for thinking you were the kind of guy that would *gasp* do bargirls. I mean it is unthinkable to actually infer a foreigner in Pattaya posting on a mongering board would... do bargirls. Way out of line. Shocking. And if you aren't then my opinion is just as good as anyone's, which is why bring sand to the beach...

That rationalization is used by assholes, not by decent people, eg you are on a mongering board so you can't expect people to be polite and considerate, what an idiot you are, fragile ego, pathetic loser yadda yadda. Join the good guy team and try to keep the atmosphere positive. Danboy too - the "fair comment". How is it "fair"? It is a mean thing to say - equivalent to saying you deserve to have your pretty girlfriend called a fat ugly three-holer coconut row freelance whore. Because you shared pictures - ones that other guys are going to appreciate. So therefore you should be i

Interesting. Mine is coming with me this winter. Not sure how you are handling it, but she's going to pick the girls for me, at least in the beginning, and then go home while I slay the bargirls for a month or two depending on budget and how it works out. She said that she has seen customers that had girlfriends or wives with them, and that everything looked to be going just fine, the guy barfining girls and its not a big deal, but then suddently the wife would explode in a rage of jealousy and storm out of the bar or start beating on her husband. We've had similar things happen, where

We have a few resident misogynists who are constantly preaching the "snakes with tits" hatred towards the girls. We hear that their preaching is justified with the noble cause of protecting the horde of stupid, gullible mongers from falling into the hands of the snakes - getting married to them and being taken for all they're worth, or sponsoring them and being milked dry. But I think it's time we actually called them on this. It cannot possibly be true that there is any sizeable crowd of sponsors, let alone those who marry, out of the millions who travel to Pattaya. According to the

Here is some more drug-induced wonder for you: The hallmark of abusive people is dehumanizing their victim. Classifying them as subhuman is what the abuser does in order to justify their abuse. Since they are not people, it is not abuse. Saying something nice about bargirls violates the most sacred principle of the abuser. If they are human, they must be treated decently. Maybe that's why it was so noteworthy to you in the OP that strangers took pity on you and helped. Someone with your attitude would never have done so.

That is in perfect conformity with not caring about other people, period. News at 11. Other than preaching what snakes with tits they are, lying to them, minimizing their compensation, not to mention being a fat slob - you are the ideal companion. When I first came on here you insisted that my experience with bargirls liking a man in good shape who looked halfway decent, treated them kindly, didn't drink, etc. - that oh no, I was a fool for thinking those things mattered. Only money. I have never seen you waver from that stance. It simply has not occurred to

I don't enjoy taking you down BigD What would be far, far more beneficial is to have you state in print something positive about these lovely, giving, and very human girls. Why is that so difficult? How can there be such hatred for them that you cannot bring yourself to say one single positive thing about the girls you travel to the other side of the earth to find company with?

Oh, if someone needs examples of BigDUSA mysogyny - sheesh, that's easy enough. This was his knee-jerk reaction to the top thread in the relationship forum, and the first response to that OP: Why is BigDUSA on the relationship page - a place we are supposed to be able to trade advice on relationships - spreading his vile propaganda on the impossibility of having relationships with bargirls? That page was started because in one year's time 24 bargirls from FLB were married off. So what if you pay them to fuck you? You pay barbers to cut your hair, waitresses to serve you, etc.

The correct spelling is misogyny. That is how I spelled it: From Wiki: You should use the correct spelling when saying you are correcting someone's spelling. Especially when they spelled it correctly in the first place. Then you might catch your own error. What you have done is prove a put-down was your intent, not correcting spelling. I appreciate being corrected. By people that have the correct spelling. But I also appreciate when someone is trying to put you down and embarasses themselves instead.

Just an FYI papillon - I have you on ignore.

Hi Vic. I have no issue with you and don't want to make one, but politely disagree. I see this stated often about posters that are relentless with insults. Those insults ARE reality. I am not imagining the years of "snakes with tits" attitude and urging of other BM to think of them as subhuman trash. It seems to me you advance the argument he is two-faced. Saying "snakes with tits" on here, but treating them OK in person. First of all that does not mitigate against advising the thousands of other BM to consider them animals. Secondly, when I see someone who says one thing to
