For some reason, YouTube recently recommended a video to me with the title “The disturbing life of German pensioners in Thailand”. The video is in German, but even without subtitles, you will quickly figure out what it is about. Even the video thumbnail, which puts a supposedly 73-year-old guy next two four Thai women who are 16, 18, 19, and 21, is probably a good-enough summary. In short, we see a bunch of white men who moved to Thailand to enjoy the twilight years of their life. Rent, food and women are cheap, and the weather is great.
The pensioners features in this video seemed to not have any delusions. They know that the women hang out with them in exchange for money but on the other hand, these men in their 60s and 70s still get to pound a sexy Thai woman in her 20s, for a rather modest amount of money. These men also do not really believe that they were being taken advantage of financially, nor do I get the sense that the women were exploiting the loneliness of these men. Instead, all I see are mutually beneficial transactions which both enjoy. The women are not slaves, after all, so there has to be a baseline of sympathy for any kind of commitment of these women, even though it is pay for play.
I do not think in the slightest that men who leave the West behind to enjoy a decade or two in SEA deserve to be ridiculed. They make informed decisions, and considering the cost of living, these guys clearly come out ahead. In Germany, with its notoriously low public pensions, you can barely make ends meet in retirement if you did not manage to save up a lot of money yourself. Obviously, money for the many millions of cultural enrichers has to come from somewhere and if this means working until 67 and getting a pension of 1.500 euros per month. Of course, this is the amount before taxes and social security contributions. The average German pension does not buy you a lot in Germany, but you get a lot for it in Thailand. (This is another German-language video but this is not that relevant. You could even mute the video as you only need to see the various kinds of accommodation and their price tag.)
In the West, society takes advantage of every productive member of society. Your taxes are used to finance a metastasizing government, countless NGOs, and illegal immigrants. You clearly need a lot of idealism to keep going to work and putting in more than the bare minimum of effort. After decades of this charade, moving to a low-cost country doubtlessly seems like a very attractive option.
The underlying view behind videos like the above seems to be that white men are supposed to suck it up all their live: pay taxes, work, marry some roastie, don’t speak up if your politicians ruin your country, embrace unfettered mass immigration. Apparently, the goal is for you to be dead broke at the end of your life, with everything squeezed out of you. Well, why not rise up in your own, personal way? Moving to Thailand in your 50s or early 60 seems to be a better choice than remaining on the Western treadmill. It is simply an example of geoarbitrage. Our rulers do the same: they import cheap labor from abroad, move corporate headquarters to tax havens, and generally look for getting the biggest bang for the buck, without a trace of allegiance to any country. It’s fine if they do it but if you do it, you clearly prove that you are a reprehensible human being, shirking your civic duties and responsibilities.
Of course, none of these criticisms are raised when fat, white hags fly to Africa, paying local men for sex. In that case, it is empowerment. This is love, unlike with Western men and their young Thai women. On top, Western women even get to lament being taken advantage of if one of their black gigolos cannot take sticking it into their rotten crotch anymore and bails. In that case, the poor, helpless, empowered menopausal woman was being deceived and misled by the man. Once again, patriarchy is suppressing women, no matter where they go. In contrast, wherever men go, they obviously are the oppressors.
These men get 4 young and beautiful women for the price of a whale in western countries. And they are served with real serious s3x and not the bs western women do. I am thinking to go to thaïland too 😉
4 cute Thai chicks in their prime will end up being cheaper than a 35 year old Western land whale. The latter will cost you dates and gifts (hyper inflation applies here), vacations, a diamond ring, ridiculous amounts of your time (which equals money), a house with modern upgrades because the cabinets aren’t good enough etc., a divorce lawyer, alimony/child support, your emotional health and sanity…the list goes on.
Oh, but you’re right about American pros, for example. Not to mention it just feels 100x sketchier trying to bangs pros in America. You need like 3 references and $500 for a post-wall milf.
Western nations cannot just sit by idly while its retired work horse slave class leverages their economic power elsewhere, such as SEA Asia. It’s not feasible to do away with retirement funds outright as it would completely negate any and all motivation to live as a cog in the machine, so the most accessible option, I suppose, is to influence cultural narratives by shaming men altogether. Masculinity is only really celebrated and not seen as toxic when it’s roided out pretty boys or handsome chads parading around as sex objects, either in movies or on social media, and faithfully dating women roughly their age or older (preferably). Whenever it’s some geezer enjoying male oriented activities, such as banging sexy sluts or just having a sick tropically located condo for a fraction of the price you could get in Hawaii, it’s toxic masculinity.
Yeah SEA is pretty hard to top. Ain’t gonna lie. It’s hilarious that harpies are winging over this. I can say with complete confidence that the vast majority of men who have moved to SEA are more than happy with their decision, and don’t pay any attention to people who judge them.
Here is an appalling hwyte colonizer talking about prices of whores in Thailand. For the price of a dinner at a fancy restaurant in the West, you can bang multiple whores in Thailand. Prices are as low at 500 THB but around 1500 THB is more common. You could spend a “long time” with two whores at once for 4000 THB or wine-and-dine a Western gold-digger or, worse, a wall-slammer for a lot more than that. I laughed when he talked about renegotiating prices if the woman did not perform well.
Note that BKK seems a lot cleaner than the average big Western city. There is surely a lot more trash and urban decay to be seen in Paris, New York, London, or Berlin than over there.
I have been looking into this and it is just so reasonable. It seems that whores in Vietnam are cheating because every time you come, the session ends and you must pay and leave. I am wondering if I should contact these clandestine whores or should I take a trip to Bangkok in order to have fun.
“Bang the cock” surely is nice if you have the means to live there and know how to live there as an expat. From what friends of mine have told me though, it’s hard to relocate there AND get accepted as part of their community by locals – but this is a typically Asian trait anyway. Swadeekap!!
Getting accepted as a foreigner is very difficult if not impossible once you leave your own ethnic group behind. This even applies to environments that are genetically quite similar. For instance, there even is a rivalry between Danes and Swedes, or Norwegians and Swedes. With close genetic proximity, you may be able to assimilate to the host country’s culture within a decade or so, assuming you manage to master the language as well as marry a local. Still, you will probably always be regarded a foreigner.
I have sometimes thought about moving abroad, but was putt off by the language barrier. In the example of old white men moving to Thailand, the Thai girls probably can speak some English, because they need to, in order to communicate with their sugar daddies. But what if you got robbed, and need to go to the local police? They most likely don’t speak English. This was a big concern for me. Otherwise, places like Thailand do seem very attractive. Thailand has lots of cheap but delicious fruits.
Probably in all popular foreign destinations there are communities if not enclaves of people with your cultural background, no matter what it may be. I hear that there is even a small community of blacks Americans in Tokyo, for instance. This partly alleviates the issue of the language barrier. Regarding safety in general, expats, in particular retirees, often live somewhat segregated lives. There are districts that are very popular among working expats, and there are also retirement homes at various price points, which often form their own community.
