The best comment here.

Indeed we all have younger wives, which might not be possible in our home countries.

And I really admire my wife to live with me old <deleted>. At the end she will be my nurse, finally burn me. ????

Who on earth is so dumb that they believe in those software. How should a software, that only have a photo of you be able to decide when your face begin to get crumpled, when you get bald, when your hair get grey or you need to start wearing glasses. You maybe even prefer to where lenses. Take down this foolish question

They are at the beginning of their life , we need to realise that many of us have well passed the halfway mark in life.

   Young people fall in love and get married  , older people need to realise that they are old and not continue to act like they are teenagers anymore

Naaa, to a Mae Noi. First off, I am to poor to support more than is on my plate with a 65K baht monthly income. Equally critical … I do believe I have reached the age of being a “puppy”. That being like a puppy chasing a car … what should I do with it if I caught one?  Equal consideration … my wife is 26 years my junior already, we are happy together and I am in the “winter of my life”. Enjoyed my initial play time in Thailand and will forever have fond memories of the Thai girls who shared my time but I am a happy camper … By the way, I’ve always stated I would quit looking when they close the lid on the coffin …

A Mia Noi situation can only be maintained with the approval of "the wife". Her stll remaining as the main beneficiary of the financial resources of the Farang.
To keep any Mia Noi situation secret in rural Thailand for any lenght of time is impossible.

I hope you are aware that the wife's approval is an automatic approval for her to do the same.  Maybe thats what she's really been waiting for all along.  Then her activities would be openly acceptable by her family and peers.  With you being the bad guy, not her fault.

I've actually been quite successful at teaching her how to massage my back by walking on it. Just need to fatten her up.

On the downside, she too whines, but only when she needs to pee.

Just been shopping in Tops and Big C and I couldn't help noticing that even after 11 years together - she was still the hottest looking girl in the mall.  

 

She's aging so well, that by the time her looks may start to fade, my eyesight will be too dim to notice.  

 

I even snapped a few phone photos while she was browsing the fruit aisle, as I just liked the way she looked in her Thai standard denim shorts.

 

So no ..... I'll not be looking for a trade in 

I wonder what she thinks of you when she's browsing the veg section...????

I live for more than 12 years with my mia noi, the mia luang stays in Europe and accepts it.

From time to time she comes to here and we have a nice time together.

I would suggest that the Mia noi is more likely to become a problem because you are seeing the same female, building a relationship and thereby an increasing threat to the stability of Mia Luang.

Whereas a short term or one night stand is no threat at all its a simple transaction and finished. Big difference in those scenarios and the latter is no long term threat at all.

I totally agree, I like to eat cake when I want and did have a young pretty one on the side, she was in her early 20's and I would see once a fortnight or when I felt the need, it went on for about 6 months, a few drinks, then straight into it, she knew I was married, and happy, and wouldn't leave my wife, she new the rules upfront, she never called me, only me messaging her giving her a days notice as she had to get someone to look after her kid for a few hours.

 

Could have easily fallen for her, I remember one day she cuddled up to me when playing pool, that said, I knew then it had to stop as my wife is my rock, and I have had a really great 15 plus years together, we just click, couldn't replace the happiness I have with her, the sex is also great, but even after 15 plus years, every now and again, once maybe twice a year if lucky pre-covid, this guy would like to eat out, and is looking forward to Covid becoming a thing of the past so that he can go back to remembering what those young delicacy's tastes like before he carks it ????

If you survived the 11 years with her already, and that in Thailand, might be a crazy risk to try and get a new / younger one. You would need to opt in for a single life in that case and use rentals. Could be <deleted>ty if you get less mobile and have nobody to trust and help you around. 

So I guess the answer for you would be a mia noi, unless you are unhappy to be with her. Then single life and rentals.

Let's assume you are a Farang living in Thailand. You have gotten older and so has your Thai wife.

While sitting on the front porch, enjoying a peaceful sunset, have you ever considered exchanging your current Thai wife for a "newer model"? Granted, that you would not suffer ruinous financial consequenses by doing so?

This is an excellent question, perhaps the key question for any man.

 

Even if you did everything right and found a girl of 19 at 30, when you are married for 22 years she will be 41 years old. I don't need to remind people of how Brigitte Bardot or Pamela Anderson, bless their souls, look today to underline that even highly attractive women, when they go past 45, 55, or God for bid 65, look like a horror story. It's truly horrific. And it's not just looks, as age goes on character too always gets worse, as the woman is less interested in pleasing you, more wilful and headstrong, more difficult to deal with generally.

 

So as men we face two options: 1) We accept that we have to wake up next to a crumpled old woman in the morning and have someone that we love not in that romantic way, but in that post-romantic way, where you care for a person, or 2) We break that bridge and try our luck again with a much younger, more fun, more pleasing woman, who will then want everything the first wife wanted, children, marriage, kids, house, and thus will get equally as boring and equally as difficult to deal with.

 

Affairs are a given, and should be forgiven of a man, who has chosen to be with a crumpled woman. For if money were no object, every man, like Bezos and Gates, would trade in their ageing wife for a newer model.

 

The problems will be there whatever you do.

Yes, unfortunately the best of women become more selfish as age increases. It's the same for men. The real issue is if you give in and give her children, which she is sure to demand in her 30s unless she is extremely stupid or there is something wrong with her fertility. Because once you have children that really takes a major toll on a woman's looks but above all her character. Because a woman that needs to deal with children inevitably turns into the bosshound from hell, and that spills over into day to day discourse. So that's added to the usual increase in selfishness, headstrongness and other issues that arise with advancing years in terms of women.

 

So any man who stays with his crumpled, headstrong woman of 55 and beyond truly deserves a medal.

 

Of course any man who takes the risk and tries to build a new relationship also deserves a medal for his courage. As men we are in a very difficult position, not as difficult a position as women obviously, but still an impossible position really.

 

Do you stay with a loyal good woman, whom you've trained to cook and clean to your liking, who was once attractive but has now slipped from a 7.5 to 6 and the slide is only going to get worse, the headstrong, selfish behaviour will only get worse? Or do you risk it all to start anew with a younger woman who is a little prettier, a little more fun, where you can experience the romantic love delusion, but will ultimately end up in the same place, ie her demanding children, marriage, being a bosshound from hell.

 

It's down to personal preference really, some men prefer the second more exciting option, others choose the safer slightly less interesting option. Both are very difficult to pull off. If money were absolutely no issue, most men would probably pull a Bezos or Gates.  But like I said, even Bezos will find that his younger Ms Sanchez will not stay the appealing romantic dove she appeared to be at the start. It's really a devil's choice.

Very true. That is another option. The problem is that men crave both, the fun and sexual adventure of a string of exciting females, but also someone who cares for them, looks after them and has a deep, meaningful connection with them. Everybody's got a hungry heart, as Springsteen says.

 

Plus if you stay single you do not get the wonderful experience of seeing your children from age 1-8.

 

But I can assure you many a married man secretly wishes he had stayed single in many a dark hour.
