Great, another letter falling right into the agenda of Stickman's view that most Thai women are money-grubbing whores. 
"Falling in love" is one thing, but taking irresponsible action based upon you "falling in love" is quite another.  I have fallen in love many times in LOS.  Jing jing.

LOL...just another "burnt and bitter" letter from Stickman's mailbag. You can feel the author's anger in almost every word of it. If "Whoremongers" fall in love with "Thai hookers" why should he care so much? Heaven forbid someone else finds happiness where the writer failed to...

This one addresses the science behind 'falling in love' and suggests some ways of preventing such behavor
No, it doesn't, and no, it doesn't.
Falling in love (whatever) is one thing, but as CG points out, this is not a carte blanche to make irresponsible decisions and take irresponsible actions. Seems that invariably only those lacking a certain maturity make the same mistakes, and then wallow in their own misery -- as, it would seem, fits the author of that article, and he has managed to externalize his woes, claiming that his mistakes were not his personal stupidity or immaturity, but rather 'changing brain chemistry' resulting in him being 'sick'.
Suuuuuuuuuuuure - talk about effectively evading personal responsibility for your actions.

I think Bangkok and in fact the whole of South East Asia is not a place for people from the West who are emtionally insecure.
I think that's about the best characterisation of the situation, and the best piece of advice.

If you suspect that you are, then stay at home until you feel mature enough to emtionally stand on your own two feet instead of someone else's. Otherwise, coming here can lead you into a lot of trouble........and I'm not talking about trouble with the police, or Thai men, or foreigners or ex-pats or Thai ladies......I'm talking about trouble with your own mind and thinking.
This is not the place to try and sort yourself out.
Just look at the walking wounded. There is an army of them out there.
You've got to bring your own sanity with you.
The difficulty is in finding that your own sanity is so home-grown that it has no cross-cultural application and therefore is of no use here.
You have made my point.
We have several members of this board who are planning to pack up their things, chuck their lives back home and move upcountry to live on 20,000bt a month. All in the name of love or of finding love.
I personally agree with the writer in that 'love' lasts 12 - 18 months (hence the honeymoon period in marriage). What sustains a marrage after that is friendship, trust, and respect. With out that the whole relationship will fail.
I remember being madly in love with stunner once, and she loved me. The problem was that she was about as smart as a rock and being from rural Georga (USA) she had all of the sophistication of cavewoman. We had friendship, were developing trust, but to tell you the truth the educational/social differences between us were too big to develop respect. Even after 30 years we are still friends but she is happy with her farmhouse, NASCAR, and Gallo wine and thinks that I am crazy to be making the whole world my home and office.
The point is mutual commitment gents, and if you are making that commitment to that petite, brown-skinned beauty only on the basis of 'love', or if she is making that commitment to 'get the hell outta Issan (and provide support for her family) ' ; you are in for another crash but this time as a stranger in a strange land.
The question that each person needs to ask himself is that if he can not find hapiness and commitment at home, how will LOS be any different.
All in all, I am glad I live in Singapore where people come to find fortune, not love...
BTW DG: What was the longest relationship you had in Thailand?
EDIT IN: I have decided that I am unquestionably in love with Shizuka Arakawa
http://www.shizuka-arakawa.com/
The grace and beauty she brought to the ice last night was inspiring... But given our age differences I know it would never work so marriage is out of the question...
(get my point?)

Agree wholeheartedly. Conditions here will just exacerbate the situation in the unstable brain. Not only that, conditions here will actually identify and eat into, termite style, somewhat insecure places in the personalities of somewhat normally mature people, forcing them to strengthen or disintegrate... like the Parliment just did.
And yes, Sailor, though I don't care for Stickman's tone, you're right about different folks having different motivations as they slip into an emotional state that's similiar. The wine's the same, but the brains might take it differently. One's just got to accept people for what they are, in good form, where we're all coming from, and everyone appreciates that on some level; a certain polite frankness seems to go more miles, as far as I've seen.
And as for the rest of you dear lunatics that frequent SOL. Stop grasping at emotional straws! Cease your nub-like internal meanderings for eternal apocalypse of some soul-commune... with women whose hearts are already very magnetized!... Guys--Come on! Isn't it obvious by now that all those girls are in love with me, me, me--in a deeply personal way which none one else can fathom outside our own little love-nests sessions on the twin sofas?!!
But hey... I'm magnanimous, totally, 100%, you bet. Share and share alike at SOL! Friendliest place on this here world. And thnx Able, you're magnanimous too 
(PS unrelated but reminds me of an old sci fi communist satire: "We're willing to share all you have!")

I enjoy Stickmans weekly atricles. He seems jaded on the whole BK P4P scene. I was shocked to read his 2/20 article where it stated that a remedy for falling in love with TG's is to take Prozac while your in BK.
I have never read anything more stupid (outside of Penbelly's created posts). Are you serious?
He suggests Mixing Prozac with large amounts of Liquer and Cialis/Viagra? Why not do a shot of lithium and some X. Then you can have a real party. I am not sure how many readers he has, but that needs to be deleted. The obvious rememdy would be to barfly and nail a minimum of 3 TG's while your there. But, this bullshit about mixing Chemicals cannot be endorsed.

I enjoyed the article. But, I've studied the subject extensively.
However, in my opinion, the best way to stay away from the "drug of love" in BKK is to read Private Dancer. That will cure you.
I read it while in BKK. Big mistake. It freaked me out. Everyone planning to return to Thailand should read it.
