Would such a "good man" stay with a much younger girl at all if he cares so much about her future? In my limited experience from relative rich guys and their younger girlfriends there is just one thing what those girls do after he died. They look for another rich guy. If he was leaving her a US million dollar plus account, real estate and more, I am sure the answer is yes. Some men probably have enough to leave their wives, that there won't be a need for a rich guy, because she will already be richer. It is quite obvious, the majority of expats in Thailand married to younger wives, are no where near that level of wealth. I have always given my wife the option if she wanted to take off with a younger partner, and she could still keep all the money. Yet she is still here? While I enjoy being with her immensely, I do not want to be a burden to her. My opinion. Her opinion is she wants to take care of me, for all the taking care I did of her. She knows she will be extremely well rewarded and I wouldn't have it any other way. I knew from day 1, the day would come, when the age difference would start to matter more and more. Did I quit my job early so I could run around Thailand? Absolutely not. Worked and worked and worked 15 years longer than planned. Then still took high paying contract jobs when I was supposed to be retired. All for her. I got out of the materialistic game 20+ years before most men, made sound investments, and it has paid off. I long for nothing, enjoy a simple quiet life, surrounded by her family. I don't look forward to death, but when the time comes, I know I did a hell of job ensuring she will never have to worry financially. Whether she wants to get remarried or not, up to her. But as an educated, US Citizen, with holdings in both countries, she is not going to fall for something nitwit broke farang. She understands the value of what she has and she knows, there will be no one coming along she would be interested in sharing her dosh with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of Thailand is that men and women still accept these facts and don't pretend otherwise. Many men in farang-land are so brainwashed from all that feminists <deleted> that after a while they actually believe they prefer old women. 555 And many once divorced from the western wife, never truly find another one to marry and stay single, the same goes for the women. My Father and mother divorced when I was 18, my dad was 35 and my mother43. Never married again, dated a few, but everyone was always after one thing and no it was not money, they wanted someone to accept the baggage they had in tow. No one wants the baggage and issues of another at least in the woke western world where unless you are 100% on the same page daily life will be filled with criticism...oh joy...not for me.

She will not have a thing to worry about, and if at 60 years of age, which she will be if I make it another 30 to 86 yoa myself, then she can go and find another, but then she will not need to as she will be set, and she takes no BS from anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thujone Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 'You would certainly get a few envious stares when you go back home on holiday and walk down your local high street with your 25-year-old Thai wife in tow.' Maybe I'm being cynical, but I'd guess that if 70 year old Bob walked down the local high street in his original country hand in hand with his wife who could be younger than his grandchildren, certainly younger than his children, it's likely he would run into trouble, which could develop beyond verbal trouble. And as for family gatherings, he should be prepared to be ostracised. Even people in his original country who have seen the P4P situation in Thailand may display a totally different attitude to Bob when amongst their original community. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BE88 Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 2 hours ago, BonMot said: The woman in the file photo is as scary as the man. The first photo shows a man with a pub girl. These photos do not follow the narrative! Men that marry women and especially poor ones from issarn are often bound for problems. Make that a poor woman under 25-30 and double that. The same with poor, lazy family and that's some serious pressure against you and your marriage. Half your age plus eight has been a good rule of thumb. Id say no more than fifteen years younger unless it's a purely financial transaction. Visa + sex + chores = care + money. If a marriage is going to succeed the couple nerds to have things they enjoy doing together. Must be fine with each other's company long term. The man needs to remain entirely in control and in control of his finances. No kids unless you want one. No houses most certainly. I love my wife. She's not a glamour girl but still looks good at 46 with a bit of makeup weighing in at 42kg. I see younger guys in BKK with hotter women but they are either rentals or gold diggers looking to set the hook. Most of all we share common interests and generally speaking life goals. Married / together 12 years. I'd not do it again at 65. But the question is who will care for you when your health deteriorates? Everyone ages I think we need to remember that. Look at that one old geezer in the photo. I bet he's dead now. When your this old do you need love and care or eye candy (that can be had here for less than b1000)? You don't gain anything here by properly marrying here save for a visa at 400k. It will give your wife peace of mind assuming you have some assets to leave her. Another stupid article. Maybe ramp up for the prospective high season as punters file in country. I widened your maximum age difference to 24 because I am a handsome man ???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silencer Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 A lot written here is true (I resemble several of the things mentioned by OP), with exceptions aplenty. Mine is 25 years younger, high school drop-out, beauty from the north that worked in a bar 3 weeks (where I met her). She converted to Christianity before I met her (which is only mentioned because she believes lying, no matter how small of a lie, is a terrible sin), had a kid just a year before I met her, and we have been together 4 years now. We will be building a large house soon for the three of us. I did the design, planning, picked the company to build, had the drawings made and permit in hand. I was planning on paying for the house (with a good chunk of my savings) but the business I helped her start last year resulted in her making over 7M baht recently. She said she will pay for the house (about 6.5M) and we can use my money for traveling around the world occasionally, maybe a new car. I also get a decent pension so I will always have my own money no matter what happens in my life. Your mileage may differ, but there are good ones out there that love to cook, clean, great in bed, don't take advantage of you, don't lie and cheat, and do everything happily for you which just makes it delight (or at least much easier) to do everything for them (and their future). I could care less what anyone thinks of our relationship. Maybe I was lucky, I knew there was a chance of making a wrong choice and I knew I could make a life of renting a girl each week/month/year but that is not what I wanted. The unexpected new kid in my life was not in my plans but she is wonderful and now learning English well and likely keeps me young as well. Many fail, many do not. Choose wisely. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Thai neighbour in his 70s married and girl of 19 with the blessing of both families. She is now 24 and looks older than her years but he was true to his word and bought her a car and she has her own business all paid for by him. No one is kidding themselves this is nothing more than a transactional relationship that is of benefit of both parties. I'm not kidding myself the relationship with my Thai GF started out as non-transactional. Having said that, I believe some relationships can morph into something else. As for having a wife or GF my own age - been there with two women, neither worked. I prefer looking at a woman who can still stir up my libido.

Popular Post seajae Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) many of the "retirees" in Thailand tend to think with their little head, its all about their ego's, their wife/girlfriend is only with them for their money and everyone that sees them together knows it. This is part of what Thailand really is for many, somewhere they can live in their own little fantasy world where playing hide the sausage is the biggest & most important part of their lives but if thats what they want then they have found it here and are happy, personally I find having someone of a similar age that is with you for love much more satisfying Edited August 16, 2022 by seajae 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
