a447, Joe is probably thinking it's an excuse to get out of Pattaya for a couple of days and see somewhere new. If the meeting with Matt happens, that will be good. For Joe, a couple of days out of Pattaya is a good idea.

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
We set up a meeting in Khon Kaen once which you failed. Others report the same. (And don't tell us you changed your mind because I'm creepy. Our email communication, which I would publish with your permission for everyone to form their own opinion, says otherwise.)Originally Posted by cdnmatt
The story from rich to poor to rich, or just get by, is difficult to believe. And that your boyfriend stayed with you through phases of poverty is in dissonance with everything I experienced, culminating in one Thai boy writing to me "If you have no money, I don't want you" when I refused to lend him 5000 THB under the excuse that I don't have that much.
So let's assume you became blind. But starting cooking within months, and being back on the forum, or never leaving the forum (someone else will have to research if there was a gap and a change in writing style the time you went blind) is nothing short of a miracle!
Someone pointed out that use of voice-to-text cannot explain your typos, misspellings and punctuation.
Each of these might pass as just credible, but all together are not credible to me.
Your behavior on the forum reminds me of Bruno "Look at my glasses" scene:
Fact is alaan, you never met cdnmatt. If you had not aborted then matt would have, in my opinion. Joe's trip to KK will likely not happen and he will also not meet matt.

Christian, you act as if there's a gaggle of people flocking to Khon Kaen to meet me. That's simply not true. Ok, about 7 years ago there was Trongpai, and I still feel bad about that one, and will fully admit that was my fuck up. We talked on the phone a few times, but come the day of the meet, due to personal issues between Kim and myself I didn't pick up the phone when he called. My bad.
Then there's you and that mouse guy, but I consider both of you sociopaths, so have no desire whatsoever to have anything to do with either of you. Then there was Newalaan, and was happy to meet him, but he cancelled on me, which is fine. Shit happens.
That's it though. Now there's Joe, and happy to meet him as well. He maybe a little on the lonely and depressed side, but for all intents and purposes, seems normal enough and like a good bloke to have a beer with.
As for Leo staying with me while poor, maybe try treating the Asians you encounter as if they're human. Considering your posts, you seem to be under the assumption young Asian guys are somewhat of a sub-species of homosapiens, and I'm sure that rubs off on them, so no wonder they don't like or respect you.
Trust me, Leo's not leaving me. We've already been through the thin and thick in life, and are finally now enjoying the benefits of our newly found strength, so I'm quite confident he's staying with me. Besides, what's his other options? Go back to the rice farm, live with his father, and be a rice farmer for the rest of his life? That's a pretty dismal existence.
I guess he could go to Vientiane on his own, and land a job as a waiter for 7000 baht/month, but that's another pretty dismal existence. He's the polar opposite of a bar boy, so him showing up in Pattaya is out.
I guess he could try to find another farang to take care of him, but it's not like he doesn't chat with farangs on Facebook and Grindr, so he knows what's out there. He also knows full well he'll never find someone who loves him as much I do, or treats him as well as I do. Again, I see him as human, not Asian. I'm fully aware that he could have just as easily been born me, and I could have been born him. It was only due to sheer luck that I ended up being born into a nice, middle class family in Western Canada.
I would never view, judge or demean him as a lesser human being than me, just because of where he happened to be born. He knows this, and also knows most farangs would do just that to him, so I'm pretty confident he's sticking with me.
Maybe there's other factors. Maybe he's a bit on the eccentric side himself, and enjoys living with someone he can be his crazy self around without fear of ridicule. Maybe he really enjoys taking care of others, and taking care of his blind farang husband gives him a sense of purpose in life. Maybe he really enjoys the freedom of being able to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Maybe he likes having a husband who always does the dishes, and cooks dinner each night for him.

Meetings between members of SGT are like those between polar bears and camels. Not entirely fictitious but only very very rarely and in very very unusual circumstances.
Cndmatt ... it isn't about numbers arriving, it's about numbers screwed over by you. So far - for Sawatdee members - that number is 100%.
Christian tried once for a tete-a-tete with me here in Hua Him. I told him I wasn't interested whatsoever. At least I told him beforehand.
Arsenal, not so rare. over the years I've met a dozen or so from this board. We started out as PM friends.
Some were duds (they probably felt the same about me) and a handful of us keep in contact regularly. Four of them I would say are good long-lasting friends who speak by phone often and visit together regularly . A few are dead, and missed.

Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
I personally know a number of people on various forums including Alaan, Smiles, Neddy and MFAS on this forum, so not so unusual.
I agree with Smiles and François - not rare at all.
I have also met quite a few members from all 3 boards, usually multiple times. We catch up whenever we're in town. My most recent meeting was with jellybean during my last trip to Bangkok. What a lovely guy!
And strangely enough, their view of me appears to be the exact opposite of a few members here.
Then again, perhaps they are just too polite to call me an "asshole" or a "dick" on the board!
Lol

Ohhh, don't worry a447, you'll always be an asshole in my eyes.
I got my ass puckered. Ready to apologize after Joe meets me, and confirms I am who I say I am?
I won't. That you can be sure of.
And yes, I'll be first in line to sincerely apologise - no ifs or buts.
In fact, I promise to start a new thread, which I will call "a447 offers a sincere apology to cdnmatt"
But don't just turn up to your meeting with Joe wearing dark glasses and carrying a white stick. More proof will be needed.
But we can work on that closer to the event!
