I think that is another reason that I like Asia mate as like you say it's to travel, some people say don't back track or something which makes me want to try somewhere new but in the end I think I will just be glad to get away were ever it is as its been a rough few years for me n I am tired Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iv nothing against those that do pick women up that way tho they may not want the hassle of a relationship so I get it and also understand how alot of these women don't have a choice as they have to take care of there families etc but I was always worried about Std's aswell as the thought of being the 20th they might of had that day kind of off putting lol, I always managed to find normal women luckily sometimes even being put up for a week but I'm older n uglier now lol so those days maybe gone..
