Re: It's Over
As a dude you don't want to be settling down and having kids before you're 30 anyhow. Your brain is still wired up like a child's until you are 25. Catholic northerners for you

Re: It's Over
tbh i agree, and i think in this day in age, people dont need to grow up so quick and settle down so early, i still feel like im 21, in Thailand/Cambodia i feel like im 18, most of my friends are in their 40's/50's
i come back to England and all my generation of friends and even my younger brothers generation now, are all "old" and "grown up", and they see my lifestyle and tell me how jealous they are,
and im in Asia and i see blokes in their 40's and 50's and even 60's still living the dream and doing what im doing, which just encourages me i guess

Re: It's Over
everyone has different dreams;"....and im in Asia and i see blokes in their 40's and 50's and even 60's still living the dream "
I know some people that have never left there home state and are very very happy with their lives and living their dreams

i never specified what that dream was?phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2017 7:13 pmeveryone has different dreams;"....and im in Asia and i see blokes in their 40's and 50's and even 60's still living the dream "

in the loosest form, its just blokes living out their lives in a nice hot tropical country surrounded by wonderful culture etc, instead of being stuck back in their dull motherlands
in a more direct form to me, i go out and see blokes of said age, going out and still doing exactly what im doing, which goes to my point, theres no rush to grow up
me and my sisters husband talk about this (including your point) as his "dream" is the family settled down marriage life,
i thought with this being an expat forum of a southeast asia, most people that would be discussing this was a little bit more adventurous than the average joe back home...

I don't intend to judge, but I think your time in service merits a Purple Heart and at least a Bronze Star.

when i said i see blokes living the dream out here and him saying people dont all have the same dream and pointed out people living the average joe lifestyle at home,
and me pointing out people who have chosen to live their lives out in a different country,
whether that be mongering in bars every night or settled with a spouse and kids, are living a lot more adventurous dream than the average joe and is one i aspire to
more to your point, whenever im back in England i get people saying
"youre 30 now, when you going to settle down and have a wife and kids, youre getting old!!"
then i come back to Asia and i get people saying
"oh your only 30?! youre still young!! Go fucking enjoy yourself you got plenty of time to settle down!!"
