Who is this guy stickman. I have read a few of his articles. He seems really neagative. He doesn't seem to have anything good to say about anybody. Is he accurate or is just a pessimist???

Stickman is a guy who has been in Bkk for a relatively short time, but has learned more about bar girls and life than anyone else. He is an English teacher who is just too worldly for most of us.
Since he has become involved with a non bar girl, he looks down on anyone that pays for play .. He is entitled to his opinion, but he is far too judgemental and paints with a very broad brush about people. I fully understand why guys P4P, but for some reason Stickman cannot understand this. His bad I would think.
I know a few people that know him and they say is an OK bloke, but even these guys think he is a bit too arrogant...
Keep in mind that if Stickman only wrote stuff that every one agrees with, then fewer would read him.
Personally, I think Stickman is trying to get Trink's non-job when he finally croaks. Trink has to have the easiest job in the world.
First third, either print reader's letters (see Stickman) or the Nigerian or some other scam.
Middle, print either stale jokes that reader's send or blurbs that the bar owners send him.
End, copy something from someone else and fill out the column. Often he doesn't even acknowledge who he stole it from. He copied Stickman once and Stickman called him on it and Trink had to apologize in his column.
I used to see Trink on his rounds (about 1994-5) when I was buddies with Jack of the Shadow bar. He was the funniest looking guy I have ever seen in Bkk. His pants were up to his nipples with a belt holding them up.. Looked like he should have been in central casting for a 1920's movie shot in Europe.
He looked like he was about 75 then, but I don't know how old he really is ..

If you read through his archives, or the stuff when he first moved to LOS, you can really see a progression. He definitely has some bitterness about working in the English teaching profession. And he has really changed his POV on the bar lifestyle. I suppose that a new girl every night gets old after a while. Wouldn't know personally.
Still gets some interesting letters in his Readers' Submissions section, although some are still shite. I admit I am a faithful reader but I just filter out the attitude part and it sometimes makes me feel as if I am still there. And I do have to tip my hat to him for clueing me in on the old Nanapong dance contests; the one I saw was really a fun time. This was all BTCD.

I've read some of his stuff and I think his bitterness is the junk pay he gets for teaching English that doesn't allow him to get P4P girls. That's my opinion and I *do* believe in numbers.

An english teacher? That says a lot.
How long is a relatively short time in Bkk? I've been here 15 years and I know a lot of old hands who regard me as just barely out of the newbie category.
I doubt that Stickman knows "more about bar girls and bar scene" than anyone else. Except maybe in his own mind. This is especially true if he hasn't been here all that long. This is even more true if he hasn't been involved in owning or managing.
Furthermore, although I would generally concur with Trink and Stickman both that marrying a bar girl is stacking the deck against yourself -- some people have done it and succeeded. I did, 15 years ago, and we are still together and happy. But the odds are against that. And I've seen a lot of friends over the years end up with the Wife from Hell.
Marrying a 'straight' Thai girl is no guarantee of marital bliss either. But, this is also true of American women (ugh!) back in the USA...in short, marriage is a roll of the dice, and with bar girls, you are just loading them against your own best interests.

Hey! I take exception to the comment "American women (ugh!)" comment you made. I'm pretty cool, and I'm an American woman. Some American women are cool, some suck, but the same is true for each and every culture out there, in identical numbers.

Talking about Jack of the Shadow Bar .....
He was kind of funny too ......
I was buddies with him around the same time and spent many enjoyable hours upstairs working for his business.
Once in a conversation I informed him that I was robbed by my TGF and he said:
'That would never happen to me. I have all her family papers and fingerprints in the safe'.
Perhaps some of you happened to know what happened with Jack, only six months after selling Shadow and moving with his wife to Korat .....
Let's call it a heart attack ......
Anyway, probably his snakes outlived him ...
