Let me correct your english. "its basically one huge red-light district filled with PROSTITUTES who are willing to walk off with you for 50-100 dollars per night."

I don't think OP is interested in splitting hairs

Quote from the_whistler:

Assuming you're not being extremely stupid and you're always wearing a condom, there's still a possibility it will break.

Unless you have a cut on your member or having unprotected anal sex with a Katoey, the odds of vaginal/oral HIV transmission are pretty low.

Please do a little more research before posting your fear mongering propaganda.

You can catch an STD from the nice Jewish girl on the Upper East side that you bang on the third date!

Quote from retaildaytrader:

I might add that when I was much younger, I too thought there was a difference between the prostitutes and non-prostitutes. However, I have since learned that both of them take your money and there is no real difference.

I guess some guys here will have to age a bit more and get taken to the cleaners a few times to learn this lesson.

Don't let yourself become jaded and cynical, that's a miserable way to live.

Quote from retaildaytrader:

Sit down Clubber Lang as I tell you about the facts of life.

When you are a young guy, of course, you are going to get a lot of women. I was very good looking in my 20s and had a strong build. I benchpressed about 300 lbs...that was my max. As I grew older, working out no longer was about looking good, but simply maintaining health. At some point in your life, those looks do fade no matter how much time in the gym you spend. Grey hair, weight gain, health issues, baldness etc. all become a reality at some point.

In NYC, women are either after your looks, your money or a combination of both. To a certain extent its about personality too.

One thing is for certain. Even if you are a good looking young guy with lots of cash and great personality, there is no way you will be able to get it by different women every day, every week or even every month. You might be lucky to get 6-8 different women a year and thats as a result of trying hard. There are also very few women in the city who will let you fuck them and not take them out. There is a cost associated with each "date" and I would say you will be lucky not to spend at least 100 dollars.

You could go down the marriage route, but as many here and elsewhere can attest, that route is not always the best path.

I am not insecure about your comments in reference to myself because I know you will be in my shoes one day. Its not a matter of if, but when. When it does happen to you...when you too have to go for blood tests every 6 months and monitor your sugar daily...when you too have to struggle about with some type of health condition...remember me and remember this thread. It will be your reality, I can guarantee it.

LOL! The last time I saw someone schooled that bad was Gatti vs Mayweather. Poor Clubber

I suggest you do your own research. Odds are around 1.5% max (if you dont have any wounds), which is a lot IMHO. Of course, only vaginal sex and being circumcised lowers the odds, but still ... You can read lots of messages on board from people who are worried to death and have to go through 3 months of hell.

Quote from JACKASS:

i agree , Barry's post was very inf. tks - don't mind the effort to read, thus

since retail didnt answer this Q, i wud like to pose it to Rimping & Barry & others perhaps

surely logic says tht if u live n work in TH , the govt will claim ITax on inc. derived while resident in TH , also maybe? a wealth tax on ur global holding s/income? etc [eg USA, India]

what are these rates / rules like?

i live in SG now, seems like not much diff pricewise -

I'm sorry, I didn't inform myself well enough to answer your questions.

Allthough I have been living in Thailand since four years ( on a multiple entry visa) my official residence is still in Holland. For me it is advantageous to keep it that way since Holland has no capital gain taxes. I live from trading my own funds. The only taxes I pay is 1.2% of my total net worth every year. Can't be any better, so I am not a tax refugee.

Interesting... Were you born in US or are you Dutch by birth? Just curious, I am looking for a different tax structure to re-locate to, and Holland is top of the list. If you are American, do you have an open visa or something?

Anyone needing tax discounts, I know someone who can guarantee a rate of 10%, with some "offshore creativity".
Not breaking the rules, but bending them really far.

What do they invest in, falafel futures?

You need to be a Dutch citizen, I suppose. I am Dutch by birth, yes.
