My past has been to a small extent Storied...

Their weeknight 11 o'clock news open.Image via WikipediaBy storied I do mean challenging. By challenging I mean just when I think I have some answers about stuff, boom, i get smacked in the side of the head reminding me I really dont what the hell I was/am thinking. Every feel like that??  These guys that claim to have the female species figured out may have but I guess I missed that class in High School. From high school on, I have always had more women friends than men. I am not talking from a sexual standpoint. I am talking about lets grab a beer, hang out and go from there. I know specifically why that and still is. The reason is because most guys I knew only had one thing on their mind. And it wasnt what time is the 11 o'clock news on. If you catch the drift of what I am saying. Now please dont mis-understand me. I absolutely love the scent of a woman, the smiles, the jokes, the different points of views from a woman. But I also liked going to concert especially outdoors, sharing quiet moments and laughing without the "social tension" of "getting laid" or "producing". In any event for various reasons having a "relationship" was not a must for me. Then also for many years I was a traveling sales guy so I literally went from town to town. Fun for awhile but then it became tedious.

Let Me Introduce Myself

SEATTLE - JULY 01:  Janice Kim (L) of Seattle ...Image by Getty Images via @daylifeMy name is Jim and I currently reside in Trang, Thailand. I am almost 63 years of age and single. I am a citizen of the USA, specifically from Seattle, Washington. And I have been here in Thailand for about 7 weeks now.
The reason I have started this blog is to share some experiences I have had and lead into the reason I am here in Thailand. Hopefully you may get a chuckle or 2 and maybe nod or shake your head in some of the things I will share. I do not pretend to have the female gender figured out. It is their world and I know it. I just try to live peacefully in it. And if you read anything interesting, please share your thoughts and any constructive criticisms you may have as well.
I have been single all my life. Have had a few long term relationships but none that set my world on fire. Close to marriage once but that was long distance and we all know where that goes usually. It is not that I had an urgent urge if you will to get married. No family or friends felt it was their duty to set me up or any such thing.  A majority of my business career was a traveling sales man. Literally most weeks I would hop on a plan on Sunday or Monday and returned home Thursday or Friday. That was all well and good. I did eventually get tired of schlepping my luggage and computer from town to town. During those trips I did manage to meet alot of awfully nice people and some I am proud to say I am still friends today...

This would probably be a good place to stop for today. Stay tuned.....

In The Beginning There Was Life....

Chapter One:
This will be a continuing blog regarding a subject most of us have had once, twice or several times. That being the challenges of relationships. Not so much family relationships, work relationships or even acquaintances relationships. No, I am about to blog one man's journey towards romantic relationships. The good, the bad and the ugly.  Female To Male, Male To Female Relationships. I do not portend to be knowledgeable in the "gay" type relationships. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just enjoy the female gender many, many times more than the male gender.
