Apologies to cndmatt

[francois]

As one who was highly skeptical of matt and his stories, the recent photos of he and Leo have changed my judgement of him.

It seems apparent that matt is who he says he is even though somewhat eccentric in his lifestyle, as posted on this forum.

My apologies to you, matt, for doubting you and for any derogatory remarks I have made on this forum regarding you.

C'est la façon de le faire - mais quand Matt a rejoint la campagne pour le désarmement nucléaire (CND)? :D

Well done you françois! If I owned a hat, I would take it off to you. :)

I must admit, at first, your post rather puzzled me scottish-guy, then the penny dropped when I noted the small error in the title to the topic. Then it made me chuckle.

And for the benefit of our non-British members:


CND The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is an organisation that advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament by the United Kingdom, international nuclear disarmament and tighter international arms regulation through agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It opposes military action that may result in the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and the building of nuclear power stations in the UK.

Now you make me curious. He looks too young to be a pensioner, so I guess he is an expat having a job in Pattaya/Bangkok. But what makes him eccentric? This remark triggered my curiosity.

[cdnmatt]

Thank you francois, appreciate it. In that regard, I guess I will apologize for being a tad secretive / shy, but that was for a couple reasons.

a.) I don't like people. :)
b.) I was on overstay, so one small mistake such as meeting the wrong person, and my life is over, and my dogs are dead. Leo and myself managed to make that mistake all on our own though, without any help from SGT.

You're new here, aren't you? :)

Not really, but I not tend to remember personal stuff from people. Maybe if I had done so I would be able from everyone to say if they live in Thailand or not, how they make their living, what type of boys they like, if they have a boyfriend. All of this info is dropped now and then by every member, but I dont write it down, don't remember it.

But how are you so eccentric? Your job is strange? I read on the other board about a farang prostitute in Bangkok. Is that your job? :-)
That is quite eccentric indeed.

To quote cdnmatt, "You're new here, aren't you?"

AsDaRa you would have to read the thousands of post by matt over the past 5 or 10 years to fully understand the situation.

Ahhhh . . . now where to start? cdnmatt has been a member here for almost 9 years, AsDaRa and, at the time of my post, he has made 4,154 posts on Sawatdee. I’m not sure if anyone here could give you a potted history of his life as described in his posts to the membership of Sawatdee and its readers over such a long period. Unless, some long standing member with a good memory is willing to try?

In the absence of such a willing member, I suggest you follow the advice contained in the lyrics of the song, Do-Re-Mi from the movie, The Sound of Music . . . by starting at the very beginning, a very good place to start, so they say.

Hello members, my name is cdnmatt. You don’t know much about me right now, but I promise you soon will get to know me real well . . .

Good luck AsDaRa! Do let us know from time to time at what stage in Matt’s life you have reached. I’m sure it will bring back many happy memories for our long standing members.

@Asdara -- No, I'm not a bloody hooker. Not to mention, haven't you seen my photos? Who the hell would pay to have sex with me? Actually, I'm the total opposite of a hooker. I seem to be in the very small minority of gay people who are totally content and fulfilled with a monagamous relationship, and very much prefer that over each of us wandering around and having sex with others.

I work in online software. Last time I had a "real job" I was 19 and raking dirt and planting shrubs for $7.50/hour.

I don't know why I'm eccentric, I just am. Let's just say I've lived an unconventional life, and prefer to make my own rules instead of doing what everyone else does. For example, I think Canadian society has it totally wrong in many facets, but if I ever say that to anyone they think I'm crazy. I think a lot of the societal problems we face are self inflicted mainly due to the isolated nature of our society. Not to mention, I don't think many people here even know they're alive. If I ever get to a point where I'm obsessing over and spending a huge amount of time ensuring my bathroom tiles, lighting system, and kitchenware are all "just perfect", then please take me out behind the shed and shoot me.

I don't know, I'm about to start on a tangent, so will stop there.

[AsDaRa]

Thanks cdnmatt. The most eccentric I get out of the above is that you are monogamous. For this board that is very strange indeed. Certainly when you find yourself in a country with so much opportunity for (paid) sex with nice Asian guys.


Look, I am (forced) monogamous when I am in the Netherlands, but when I am in the Thai paradise my sexual live makes a 180 degree turn. I like twinks till about age 25. Sadly in my country they don't like people my age, but in Thailand some really like me (proven when I not need to pay) and if not you can pay for it cheap. So for me very eccentric that in a gay paradise you are monogamous.

You know what? I never fall in love like an old fool. But, I strongly believe that if you treat a lad with respect, pay fairly, feed them - trust treat them with good manners and kindness you get, at least friendship in return. They're not like bar girls.....

[colmx]

They're not like bar girls.....

That's for sure! The only thing worse than a bar girl is a Tom Boy...
(For those that don't know, a Tom is a Lesbian that dresses and acts like a boy, the exact gender opposite of a Ladyboy)

The Toms* take all the bad traits of a straight boy (spitting, fighting, smoking, aggression, broken teeth, drink driving at speed on loud motorbikes, nose picking, smelly armpits) and use them as if they are virtuous characteristics

*There are some exceptions to the rule above, but certainly not many from what I have seen

You do realise you've just given half of SGT an erection don't you?

[dab69]

even without the mention of tight low cut purple bell bottoms, puberty, and black engineer boots...

[paborn]

Ah, yes. But, never take on a "boyfriend" - perhaps a day or three but I only rent not buy.

Stereotyping always a fools game.
As I only know only one Tom Boy well, I’ll relate my experience with Pek.
Pek helped me a great deal when I was upcountry for a visit. Pek picked me up ay my hotel and led me by my hand
through the throngs of people gathered for a large monk ceremony. He stayed with me and was delightful company.
Later on when discussing Pek, my boyfriend laughed when he realized I thought Pek was a boy. He was quite rotund,
boy haircut, boys clothing and mannerisms. Lek about 30 y.o. and popular with the ladies.
So, one of the nicest, kindest and most considerate Thais I’ve met is a Tomboy dyke.
I just can’t use ‘she’ when discussing Pek and use ‘he’. Confusing but that’s the way it is.

Your fixation on this is becoming worrying

:D

Sounds like my delayed First Holy Communion!

[arsenal]

Of course, the most vociferous member stalking Matt was our old warhorse NIrish. I'm surprised he hasn't offered his apologies. I'm sure he will.

Dyke...
Now, isn't there a piece of famous Dutch folklore about a young boy called Peter who inserted his finger into a dyke in an attempt to stave off a potential flood, or did I dream it? Am I right in thinking that, following a 'gap' year at a dungarees manufacturing company on the island of Lesbos, he went on to become a famous Gynecologist?

[scottish-guy]

It all sounds a bit fishy to me
