Popular Post Butch Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2022 I've been on the Thailand forums since 1997 in the days of the old FLB drop down "bulletin board" style of forum, and I've been lucky enough to make many great, kind and decent friends (plus a couple of enemies) as a result. For the most part, blokes come across as they are on the forums, that being decent, honest, fun loving guys with a zest for life and mutual appreciation of the female form. However (or, "But"), a few have been totally different from the person they portray to the person they actually are. One particular gent who remains nameless (as I've forgotten it, but I will edit in if I remember) was a reviewer who claimed to be African American but was actually Caucasian. He basically reviewed as many venues as he could but under a totally assumed and false identity. Actually, I lie, I didn't meet him, he was pointed out to me. Another who springs to mind was a BM we had on Thaigers called "Claw", he came across as a real tough guy, gave the image of being a 6'5 mountain of a guy who took no shit, had an intense hatred of causcasian women but in real life was actually a very pathetic, slightly built American Asian with a really nasty attitude problem. On another note is a current member of another forum, who goes by the name of "King Arthur". Initially I thought he was a bit of a party animal, he knew his onions and definitely had great taste in women. Upon meeting him, I was shocked to see a huge, gentle giant of a guy with hands the size of shovels but is arguably one of the kindest, most gentle people I have ever met. Lastly, from our own forum the enigmatic @Nightcrawler. I always thought he was a decadent, twisted perverted heathen who could hold a conversation with Satan and walk away with a bag of gold. I was right, he is and he can. If any BM's have the misfortune to meet me, I will try not to come across as a know all c**t, so at least I can try to be different from any expectations... 1 1 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I try to keep an open mind as people online are not always what I expect. But I can think of one member of another Forum (no names mentioned) who turned out to be as equaly obnoxious in person, though I kind of expected it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic that 2 different people could meet the same conclusion although I've never met him LOL. In truth though, maybe a minority are different from their board persona. It's not different from when you work with a bloke who's a total asshat at work but outside of it, he's one of the nicest people you could meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Krapow Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2022 From reading his posts on various fora i always thought @galenkia was some kinda Guardian reading, woke, tee total, pink scooter riding, vegan poof. But then i met him and quickly realised he was worse! 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post roomark Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2022 Starting posting on Secrets in 2007 though started coming to LOS early 00's . To be honest iv changed as a person myself back then I was early 30s so it's obvious I'm going to change. At one point I used to like the odd wind up on the boards nowadays I know most names from elsewhere and have met one or two over the years.. Can't always like everyone and I haven't got the patience for some , but iv met a few decent lads and women (not just Thai either) from the boards and in LOS in general. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I've met some great blokes in here (and the other forum most of in here know, and once loved). Made good friends with many I've actually met. And friends with some I haven't met yet. But I think I have a pretty good nose for who I haven't met.... high percentage of them are I'm sure great guys in person. As far as some of the phonies, and rejects. I don't waste time thinking much about them. Toss bags everywhere, waste of time and space. Sorry mother fuckers. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost his nut , not long after so maybe it was a good thing. Brian never met him , but he was a sound fella on the boards...

That reminds me of a story with a fellow Canadian BM from where I used to live. Met him on Secrets board, and we exchanged texts and decided to to meet up. Well he cancels because of a “bad back” just as I’m pulling into the parking lot, and I was understandably very pissed off. Couldn’t have been more wrong, we got together probably 5 more times in the next few years, and he footed the bill each time. Had a lovely Pinay wife too, who joined us sometimes. Just an awesome guy who I unfortunately lost touch with and now live very far away from Yeah, so just because your guard is up meeting someone from a “mongers board”, doesn’t mean the guy is strange because he misses a meet up the first time. And let’s be honest, while there are many con artists in Asia, I think with just a few hundred big time posters on this and other boards……bad news travels fast and the guy wouldn’t last long among us. I remember one lesser known BM who failed to repay one our departed members a mere 1,000 baht…..Christ he never forgave him and let the whole board know about it 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same Brian, Luton and Dunstable are pretty much joined. I think he does live in Luton but we all used to meet up at the Ewe and Lamb pub in Dunstable on the Luton Road. Spent quite a bit of time in Brians company, both in Pattaya and the UK, a fun guy for sure. Met Mathew and Pukky at one of the "Luton get togethers" too. Another nice couple, but very different to his board persona! Edited February 6, 2022 by boydeste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
