[QUOTE=Syzygies;1143125]... Freudian slip there, I'm sure you meant "Mrs." rather than "Mistress" LOL :D[/QUOTE]

No Freudian slip here, as “Mrs” originated as a contraction of the honorific “Mistress”.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1142851]There are a few women who look like guys around though LOL.[/QUOTE]Those might be post-operation ex-guys.

[QUOTE=Citizen;1143089]I told him I was not gay and was not interested, he said why, I told him you never disclosed you were an LB, did you, he said no, I asked him to leave politely[/QUOTE]If you have any doubt, need to check in the bar. At least a post-op ex-guy is better than a ladyboy. IMO. Ignorance is bliss. LOL!

[/QUOTE]A post-op is still a ladyboy (dick or no more dick), but in Thailand politely referred to as a "she" when speaking English, even if the the Id card says "Mr.". A LB / Transsexual is someone who wants to be a woman but was born with a dick and no pussy. "Ex-guy" strongly suggests that something has changed dramatically (post-op as you said) but not a normally used term, I think. ;)

Mostly, I can tell the difference between butch girls or ugly girls and LBs. Not interested in either for sex (so no big deal).

[/QUOTE]Okay I had never heard "mistress" used that way before. Its sounds ancient / archaic. You keyword was "originated" (in times long gone by). So forgive my ignorance.

[url]http://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/mistress[/url]

lists only one meaning (no capital M) , so I guess the other meaning "Mrs." is obsolete.

I probably should have written “Mrs.”, but I wanted to avoid using an abbreviation when the equivalent in Thai was not an abbreviation. As explained in Wikipedia, it is rare for Mrs to be written in a non-abbreviated form and it lacks a standard phonetic spelling (in literature it may appear as “missus” or “missis” or “Mis’ess”, etc.). Instead of choosing one among the numerous non-standard phonetic spellings, I just used the word that this abbreviation originally meant.

Actually, knowing the origin of this word, I initially thought that “missus” (for instance) was just a shortened or altered way of saying “mistress” (even for English native speakers), just like “ma'am” is sometimes used instead of “madam”, but I guess that it's a bit different nowadays for “Mrs.” (so, you can call me pedantic or archaic, I would not mind too much as a non-native English speaker, especially since I consider this matter totally unimportant!).

[QUOTE=Rocksoff;1143084]Dropped by Thigh Bar, little spinner came to sit on my lap after I refused a number of girls, mamasan came to sit next to me, wrote down 3050 on a piece of paper. I pulled a face and shook my head. She wrote down 2550. I didn't look impressed. I said 2000 OK. She asked the girl, is 2000 OK? Girl said yes. She told me it's up to the girl. Includes barfine, room (across the soi in a ST hotel) , and the girl's money. Mamasan got a 100b tip, and girl got 200b for taxi afterwards (it was near closing time).[/QUOTE]Do what you want, but 2300 for ST is twice what most pay.

[QUOTE=Chill Out;1143074]she looked at me with a smirk and said "I don't care what hotel you are staying at".[/QUOTE]Talk about mis-communication. Maybe she meant that she did not care if you were staying in a 5 star or a 2 star, that she would be ok to go with you anyway.

I guess you'll never know now.

[QUOTE=Evianist;1142522]Yeah it's a lot of fun if you're not a tight-ass. Basically just a national water gun fight that goes on for several days.[/QUOTE]
Well, Songkran is great fun for some people who are on holiday and have nothing more interesting to do, especially if they can celebrate it at one place without having to travel too much during this period. But for many residents, it's mostly a pain in their (according to you) "tight ass"!

For instance, I really hate driving during those holidays as it's even more dangerous than usually in Thailand and the Land of Smiles is certainly not renowned for its road safety records even in normal times (3516 road accidents, 361 deaths and 3803 injuries were reported last year during Songkran).

Of course, I too have had my share of fun in the past (including several freebies) and still spend occasionally some good moments with the locals during Songkran, but I could perfectly live without it (actually, I would be rather pleased if one day, it ceases to exist anymore).

At least, if it lasted only three days! Officially, it's only from April 13th till April 15th, but actually, it lasts much more than that. This year, I underwent my first water-splashing attack on April 6th while driving my car in a small village of Northeastern Thailand! I was so surprised that I could have had a bad reflex then, and could have provoked an accident with a motorbike arriving in the same area. And I can consider myself lucky because I was in my car and not riding my own motorbike this day (at least, I and my belongings did not get soaked like the other guy passing by at the same time)!

[QUOTE=Evianist;1143051]Telling very hot women "no" is one of the greatest pleasures a man can experience. I'm quite content with doing so unless they make me believe they're also going to give me a great time.[/QUOTE]True enough, I still have this memory of myself is my late 20s, dressed to kill, sitting in my brand new coupe at a traffic light downtown in a main European capital. To my right came a red convertible with three north Europeans girls, they giggled and tried to attract my attention over the course of two or three more lights. I never turned my head, but could see that they were gorgeous blondes. And kept a straight if not slightly annoyed face.

However, I didn't do that just to be a stuck-up jerk. I knew with absolute certainty that the actual chances of bedding that type of girls were very small, but the effort involved in just trying would have been huge. Since I couldn't tell them that, I traded futile flirtatiousness for indifferent attitude, that's the way things have to go sometime.

[QUOTE=NicFrenchy; 1143155]Talk about mis-communication. Maybe she meant that she did not care if you were staying in a 5 star or a 2 star, that she would be ok to go with you anyway.

I guess you'll never know now. [/QUOTE]Right, but he can still know as that was only few days ago and chances are that the girl still there. Even more interesting, if the hottie is willing to talk about the supposed misunderstanding and accept apologies, that's a real chance to judge her attitude and if she's completely dumb or not.

[QUOTE=Evianist;1143051]Telling very hot women "no" is one of the greatest pleasures a man can experience.[/QUOTE]I'd say it can be mildly satisfying at best, but usually not even that, unless you feel you have something to prove to someone you don't even know. In my experience the 'greatest pleasures' are the positive ones.

[QUOTE=Betong;1143174]I'd say it can be mildly satisfying at best, but usually not even that, unless you feel you have something to prove to someone you don't even know. In my experience the 'greatest pleasures' are the positive ones.[/QUOTE]Perhaps you're interpreting it incorrectly.

Being comfortable and confident with oneself to the point where you're capable of saying no when the offer isn't all that great, no matter how attractive the woman is, is where the pleasure comes in.

If a very beautiful woman approaches you with the implication being "I have no interest in you as a person. I want you to overpay for me to give you a disinterested starfish performance. And I want you to like it." and you're capable of smiling and saying "No thank you." then you're in a good place mentally.

The best times are always with the girls you connect with on a personal level. If a beautiful girl doesn't seem like she wants to have a good time with you, simply tell her no and move on to someone who does.

[QUOTE=Chill Out;1142435]... I paid her the pre-agreed 4000; and a 1500 tip. I know, I know. Before you shout at me, keep in mind this girl works on the "model" floor of a high-class establishment where she charges 3500 for 90 minutes (one pop only). And this wasn't a 1AM to 6AM deal either...[/QUOTE]
OK. So, as she's a "model", you might have taken at least one picture of her? Even one in full-clothes? At this price, I hope you did. Could you please post one (or more) in the photo gallery? Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=Evianist;1143189]Being comfortable and confident with oneself to the point where you're capable of saying no when the offer isn't all that great, no matter how attractive the woman is, is where the pleasure comes in.[/QUOTE]You lost me, are we still talking about prostitutes here? Because if we are, then I don't understand at all what pleasure comes with saying no to a lady selling her body since it is not you she wants but what's inside your wallet. I am pretty sure she could not give a rat's ass about it since, if she's attractive, she'll always find someone.

Let the tourists have their fun and go back to where they came from.

By the way, these are the same fuckers that will tell you they love Songkran and they complain that half the hooker places are closed or operate with less girls. Go figure.
