pattaya127 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I am amused at the number of posts where members seem to single out themselves as cool, OK, smart, opposed to "that" farang there, with the bored girl, ATM card, cluelessness, love delusions, etc.... We have all looked one time or another just as he does (or seemed) or be really in the same situations. Still, you'd think that some here are really the ultimate smart punters/BFs, unlike that "clueless, deluded guy with the ATM card and the bored Bfined chick". Why the need to sneer at others? defense mechanism against one's own demeanor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 What I find interesting is that an apparent nonsense post (like mine) get some all serious. Did I touch someone's nerve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Actually, it was not yours. But one from my very good friend Khun Kong (sorry sight....). Count me in the people susceptible to sneer at other farangs. Hey, I can sneer at myself on a GF's bad hair day....And some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smart guys guarding their wallets and hearts from the ladies have gotta be bored, constipated too. Which reminds me, i also enjoy eating something in LOS knowing it will give me a severe case of the runs (like too many chili peppers will do it). But i enjoy it so what? (enjoy the eating part i mean, not the runs : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Not me, I'm not cool, I'm "that" farang there, with the bored girl, ATM card, cluelessness, love delusions, etc.... but with sunglasses. Seriously. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pescator Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 an apparent nonsense post (like mine) Being an "apparent nonsense post", mayby you should have put it in the Board Bar then. Posting in GD doesn´t make it easy to know whether this is a serious post or nonsense. Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_of_town_hall Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Quite right, sneering at other people is sign of ones insecurity and also one isnt going to have fun being overly cautious and paranoid watching ones wallet. It is amusing, some farangs are determined to separate themselves from what they perceive as the herd, the fact is we are all the same, albeit at different stages of that learning curve. Being the cool customer in the crisp linen shirt, not drinking much and being an "old hand" doesnt appear much fun to me. STH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I just went to a good friends dads funeral with my mrs the other day, the family were so gracious and sincerely warm to her as nearly everyone I know/we come accross is. They have no interest is Thailand/Asia and thus so their veiw point is purely based on individual assessment not judgmental lauding. Good, kind, sincere people. Thailand it seems *can* *sometimes* turn people into terrible snobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Just to set the record straight with my post (can't remember where it is to post a link- search it if you need it): It wasn't at all about sneering or judging- it was about the reality dashing the illusion. Having been there myself is what makes me aware of it. I occasionally cringe in a private self-embarrasment. It also brings a certain sadness to my heart when the veneer smears off and the soft white underbelly is exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
