never take the internet as a reference, I went to Thailand last year and did not see anything weird.

internet reality is not real life reality.

if narrow minded people judge you for something you didn't do just because of some generalised idea, then maybe is better not to be friends with those people. I've travelled alone and not alone to many places, and none of my friends ever thought ill of me.

Whatever the internet kids think I really don't give a shit, as you shouldn't either.

Man, I really hate gatekeeping.

It's always a shame when something you like somewhat overlaps with a stereotype that you don't apply to

The good thing is that by that age you shouldn't really give a fuck about stereotypes someone else has. Go chase what you like! And if you happen to have some fun with ladies here - all the better )
