Especially after that exchange you had with AiB in the other thread. In fact, I'd say you come off as an asshole yourself, albeit in your own unique way. You're not as likeable as you make yourself out to be, and if you were a little more reflective, you'd easily see why others see you as a kind of punching bag. AiB's hostile posts resulted from your usual behavior of provoking, baiting, and jerking people emotionally -- just like a chick would do. So please cut the "oh I'm such an innocent victim" BS.Winston wrote:I've been realizing some sad depressing truths about America lately.
If you grow up in the US, especially in CA or NY, at some point you are told the depressing cliche: "It's a cold uncaring cruel world. No one will take care of you. So you have to become a tough asshole in order to survive."
It's a terrible thing to hear, especially when you are a child. And it contradicts and shatters the wonderful creative rosy world of Disney and Mr. Rogers that we were exposed to in the early years. I've never accepted this cliche, and never could. It's sad that many people in America accept this and literally do become uncaring assholes in order to cope with life in America. No wonder why there are so many assholes in America. It's no accident or coincidence.
How am I an asshole? Everyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a very nice, honest and genuine guy. Others see me as a punching bag because I look dopey, weak and unmasculine. Not because of anything I did wrong. I'm a true victim in this regard.
I did not bait AiB. I do not pick fights with people. Look at my behavior and that is obvious. Therefore, the problem must be him. He is just a bully who likes to pick on people and then blame it on them. He doesn't see his faults and what he is doing. No one is objective about themselves.
Your version is extremely self-serving, Winston. It's also false.
In fact, you did bait AiB, and all but admitted as much. Sorry Winston, but you're no victim. OTOH you are a cry-baby who likes to (falsely) portray himself as a victim, but fortunately your forum members know better.
AiB was one of the best posters on your board, and you drove him off with your infantile, moronic, insulting behavior. He initially gave you some helpful tips, and encouraged you to pursue this stripper -- all this without flaming or bullying you. Remember, you were the one who posed the problem, and asked for advice.
Then, after it became clear you were going to chicken out, he commented this:
Upon which, you angrily went off on some silly nonsense, and then attacked AiB personally about his looks, his wife's looks, and speculated that he hadn't gotten laid in Thailand, and that girls there don't find him attractive. On top of all that, you called his views "narrow" -- an accusation you have not backed up. At that point, he finally blew his top, and that's when he talked about hurting you physically if he met you in BKK. And I don't blame him. If I had provoked and baited him the same way you did, I would have expected him to talk about hurting me too.anamericaninbangkok wrote:The truth is, Winston had a great idea when he initially started HA. It's still a great idea. But aside from his Filipina and the occasional whore (or not so occasional), I don't think he's got laid very often. Like one other person astutely noted, a stripper is just a half a step away from being a whore.
Also, living in the U.S. isn't living Happier Abroad IMO. If you were living in the PI getting laid regularly and were married or had a bevy of beauties I doubt you would have made this thread.
But the next quote below by you really says it all. It explains why people can't help perceiving you as a punching bag:
IOW, you started this thread to jerk everyone's chain, knowing you would generate more activity and views. You asked for advice, without ever intending to act on it, only insulting and criticizing those who offered what they sincerely thought you wanted to hear.Winston wrote:This thread is not that serious. I started it to put up a controversial title that would get attention and even flames, ridicule or condemnation. Doesn't it make my trip reports more interesting and controversial? I mean, sheesh, it's better than me writing everyday that I drove from point A to point B and and enjoyed the scenery and tomorrow I'm gonna do the same, blah blah blah.
Wouldn't that be boring to read? Of course it is. That's why I spiced things up with this issue. Not that I made it up of course. It's real and happened exactly the way I described. But when it happened, I saw it as an opportunity to spice up the forum with some controversy and drama, even if it's negative or makes me look bad. Get it?
Yes sir, Mr Wu: you DEFINITELY are one real asshole!
