must say leo is very do-able...I certainly wouldnt say no. But will only believe that this is them if they post a pic where both are making the peace sign.

Would you like us to wear spoons on our noses, and shoes on our heads too?
And considering your posts, get fucked if you think you're getting anywhere close to Leo.
Relax, Matt. I have accepted that fact that you and Leo are real. No doubt about that. However, I suspect that I will, along with others, continue to question the choices you make in your life, as they are sometimes truly remarkable.
Since I never asked for a photo of you, I decline to provide one of me.
And I would point put that I have never called you a liar. I simply expressed my feeling that the Matt character was the product of a very creative imagination. If you wish to see me in the same light, I would be pleased. Now we know that you are real. The only thing that remains questionable is the wisdom of some of your future plans.
At least I provided you with a couple of links for Marshmallows and Camping gear. :)
Cheers
Matt I've no intention of staying in a tent - up to you. The hotel in KK you recommended will suit nicely. I think the last time I stayed in a tent was Neil Armstrong's moon landing. Wen were in Wiicklow with our boy's club, stayed up all night hoping to see them land on the moon. We didn't.
@Bob -- Ok, so you no longer question my existence. Thanks, as that's nice, I guess. But now you questions my decisions in life?
See, this is a prime example of why I'm still living in a Buddhist society like Thailand. You only need to look in the mirror to see how cynical you are, and for no reason. This type of attitude has completely permeated throughout the Western world, and there's nothing positive about it. At least where I am it's the other way around, and everyone does what they can to lift each other up, instead of tear each other down like you guys do.
Go look in the mirror, Bob. Quit being so cynical. It might give you a short burst of happiness, but it's not good for anything -- yourself, or society as a whole.
Ah come on Matt, you can't believe Thailand is the perfect society, with the amount of corruption that is common place.
Oh, of course it has it's share of problems, as all places do. However, I'd very much prefer living here than downtown Calgary, Manchester, or Leeds, that's for sure.
About living in a Buddhist society: “…everyone does what they can to lift each other up, instead of tear each other down…”. Wrong.
You ever hear about the bucket of crabs? Whenever one tried to claw its way to the top and escape to a better existence, some of the others would make sure he didn’t make it. This is a common story in Asian societies. People want everyone to be to be the same. Everyone does not do what they can to lift each other up.
You see me as cynical. I see you as having a rose tinted perspective. You and I have quite opposing views and we’ll just live with that.
The problem I have always had with the Matt character, the one which prevented me considering the character in an entirely sympathetic light, stems from your nigh on ex cathedra pronouncements about how to conduct relationships with Thai guys and how to adjust to living in Thai society. You knew it all. No one else knew as much, so you claimed. Often. But later you were proven to be quite lacking in knowledge about how to handle things.
None of us knows all the answers. Sometimes it helps to listen to what other people think. You’ve certainly been subjected to a variety of opinions by different board members. Some of them might be worth considering.
matty...to date I've rather enjoyed your posts...must admit im not totally certain about some details..u look far too young to be able to support yourself and someone else and 2 kids in Thailand..sure we have all heard of clever people who somehow are able to earn a decent living working remotely from home...but in my VAST experience almost all have to touch base in person with the real world..as in report in person to an office for a few days a week and /or actually meet with clients....something u somehow do not seem to have to do.
Ive met proof readers, book critics and even someone who re-marked university exam papers (so student would contest mark given for a paper and it would be rechecked) ...but all of these people would have to actually meet with their employers or clients at least once/quarter.
As for leo...what r u worried about?? That I'll entice him away...relax if he supposedly loves and adores u then what do u have to fear...remember the more u hold onto someone the more they will try to flee...let him fuck around..its healthy.
And Im still waiting for the pic I requested...and no photo shopping please...
Of course, Bob. Why do you think I've been making all these posts divulging personal details of my life lately? I'm on a learning curve here too, and don't worry, am taking everything in.
I'm the furthest thing from a closed minded individual. However, when it comes to people who are cynical or berating, then I immediately lose all respect, and shut down. Just ask my gather. He's showed up in Khon Kaen unannounced twice now, trying to get me to go back to Canada. Unfortunately for him, he acted like an ass both times, so everything he said fell on deaf ears with me.
Treat people how you want to be treated, and all that. Very simple, yet very important rule in life that many people seem to forget quite often.
Whatcha talkin about? :)
I actually have a client / partner from Taiwan coming to meet me shortly. I have nice clotes already, and Leo has an extra 6000 baht in his wallet to get himself some nice clothes and cologne.
And you're forgetting, it's 2017, not 1970. Times are different, and no problem to earn a good living remotely if you know what you're doing. :)
Oh, and want to know when I made the most money? Back when I was 20, I was bringing in about $35,000 USD/month and had 5 full-time employees. I'm far poorer than that now, but we're just fine. Who knows, maybe I'll get to be rich again in my life, I don't know yet. I do know the online software industry moves at ligehtening speed, so it's possible if I conjure up the energy and ambition to actually do it.
I wouldn't go getting a hard on about that if I was you (heaven forbid). All that really means is that there's someone out there typing. :))Quote:

That's the best you can do when it comes down to your existential needyness.
In that case, you're just a drumpy old man, and nothing I can do to resolve that.
Here you go Smiles, just for you. :)

Still waiting for others to post their photos. Come on guys, you pissed me off enough to post a photo of myself and Leo, so let's go....
That means youFarangRuuMark, a447, Christian, bobsaigon, arsenal, Joe, that mouse guy, fanciois, and the list goes on. Come on guys, your turn now...
Come on, that's only fair. If you guys are going to critize me to the point that you piss me off so much that I publicly post a [photo of myself on a board like this, then you can do the same. That's only fair. So come on boys, out with the photos...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EwgvDvtqQs
Which one of you was driving the truck? Smiles or Matt? :)
Yeah, well I am actually blind, and I'm not defending it anymore, because that's pure bullshit. It's difficult enough going through this life in the dark without having to defend yourself to people as to whether or not you're blind, so I just won't do it anymore.
Still waiting from the photos from everyone else though. Come on boys, you had no problem bitching at me and telling me I'm a fake for years, so let's go, prove yourselves. I did, so your turn...
For some reason, I think my request will fall on deafening silence. Weird, eh? From here on in, nobody is allowed to bitch that I'm a liar or fake. That bullshit can stop, starting now.
Looking at the photo, how can you tell he is blind?
That is just a photo of 2 guys. We are on the internet so it could be anyone.
And assuming the photo is of you, how does that suddenly give any credence to the stories you post here?
Of course, I could post a photo of myself here, but how on earth would anyone know who it really was?
You didn't answer my question.
How can you tell he is blind just by looking at the photo?
latin, did you miss the post where Matt shared a photo of himself and Leo:>
No a447, I haven't forgotten my own advice. I simply vehemently hate you, because you're a complete low life piece of shit.
And where's your photo, big boy? Come on, post it. I posted mine, and considering the ridicule you've passed my way over the years, it's only fair you post your photo. Come on big man, let's do it... too much of a pussy, or what's up?
I have on several ocassions the past ten years. Usually two to three days at a time. And yes, I adapt quite well, sleep on the floor, shower by throwing ice cold water over myself and urinate in the open.
I eat the same things everyone else eats, and drink beerlao all day, just as everyone else.
In fact, I just got back from a two day visit to the inlaws.
The reason why only two to three days is sheer boredom. There is nothing to do short from drinking, and believe it or not, but my Lao telecom sim has a working internet connection about two kilometers south lf the village and again in Song Hong, four kilometers north of the village. Maybe next time I will get a Unitel sim, as they do seem to offer internet in the village....
Why do you want everyone's photo?
Leo can see them, but as Moses has already pointed out - you can't.
Ah for fuck sake a447, Matt has posted a picture, as have I, how are we believe your posts about nights in the bars of Pattaya: What more do you want him to do:? Who can tell if your reports about nights in Eros, etc are genuine? Truth is we can't, we believe you. I could have saved a couple of thousand Euro by posting from memory - my few beers in the Beer Garden, my night at a bar in /sunee which name I;ve never bothered to learn?
I could write a trip report right now and you would have no way of knowing if it was fake or true
Oh goodie, I've joined the list of posters you love to hound, what an honour. To confirm your suspicion, I've been around the gay boards long enough I can assure you. And before you quote with undiluted glee an earlier comment of mine that I am 'a relative newcomer' to the gay boards I would remind you that 'relative' is a relative term.
a447, they do have bottled water in the villages, you dumb muppet.
Never got sick, and yes I drink the water.
That reminds me:
The first time I visited my boyfriend's family was in august 2006 and after the first night when I woke up at around 6 am, my father in law offered me a beerlao !
I drank water instead :)
Turned out my boyfriend had told his father that I cannot drink the water, so that's why he offered beer instead !
I can drink that water just fine of course.
Personally, I find the tent idea ludicrous and disrespectful towards the family. Why can't you just adapt, I'm sure you will gain more respect.
As to Internet, be warned Lao mobile internet is much slower then Thailand, and coverage is spotty. It pays to ask Leo beforehand if there even is coverage and which provider. Then do a search online how about what codes to use to apply internet packages and how to activate data, and what APPN to use.
Bottom line, you would be lucky to even have coverage. My second Lao boyfriend (the one I no longer talk to) always had to walk ten minutes to what he called "internet area" just as everyone else in that village...
Easy. I write in great detail - too much for some - and mention the name of the bar and the number/name of the boys. If they aren't happy with being identified on the internet, you can always pm me, as many have over the years. Then you can go and check with the guys. No problem.
And yes, you could write a report, but if you visit the same bars as me, then I'd know if you were bullshitting or not. We are all well aware of what goes on at Eros and Goodboys.
What more do I want matt to do?
Nothing, really. I'm just waiting for your report after you have met him.
Sorry a447, but considering how much you've hounded me over the past year about going blind, doesn't cut it.
Either post a photo proving your existence, or shut the fuck up, and never post another negative word directed towards me.
And I am actually blind, you inconfident dick.
