Wrwest Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just finished rewatching the TV series, "The Tudors". Just an historical observation ... Henry VIII married 17 year old Katherine Howard. His best friend at court, Charles Brandon married his 14 your old Ward. both these relationships, however, ended badly but not necessarily as a result of the age difference.The wealthy, powerful have married much younger women in the past, nothing new to Thailand. An added observation might be that the same female financial dependence does often play into the relationship (for better or worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Exceptions against the rule; see Charlie Chaplin who was 36 years older than his last wife Oona who were married 34 years and had eight offsprings. It rarely works, agreed, but if there are no financial interests by either party ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what can he be proud of? Has he ever thought about what it would be like to be with a woman who is 35 years older than him? Why does this man think the woman is with him? Because she loves his big belly so much? Or his wrinkles? Or his bad teeth? This woman has a financial interest and is playing her part. She may have a husband, her family and several children to look after. And the man? Buys a partner to escape being alone. Maybe he's already part of the leftover ramp? And what kind of image of man is being spread here? Is it all about sex and not about a lasting, resilient partnership? Does the man I described above think his lady will be happy if he has sex with her for a few minutes every few days under the influence of Cialis and can feel his smelly breath? I was born in Italy and I miss respect in this forum. There is hardly any discussion, everyone thinks their opinion is the only right one. Other opinion holders are denigrated and dragged into the mud. Why is that? Is it because of the origin of the members? Are the majority from the UK? Old, bitter, disappointed? There are about the same number of Germans in Thailand. I'm not treated so rudely by them. Maybe they come from a different background. So, dear members: Respect! Women are not sex objects! Clear text Lucky guy, my girlfriend is only 32 year younger than me. We are not equal, it's very individual how relationships work and age difference in same. If the older part is young in mind – and perhaps also keeps a healthy body – it can work well; I'm talking from experience, however with a few less years the the mentioned poster. For me, it has so far worked well 20 year now... However, my lovely girlfriend is getting older; so, perhaps it's time to restart with a new young model... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rarely works, agreed, but if there are no financial interests by either party ......... Women tends to be attracted by economic solid men, and intelligent men. Many of those expats chasing very young women from poor districts, are neither of those two. But I guess they really do not see much other options because of low self esteem. Do not say there is gentlemen among the expats, just saying those who visually stands out, often do not seems to be any good examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross163103 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Don't see the problem; I had a friend that was 65 and had a 22 year old wife. They were married and stayed togther until he died a very happy man at 78. To be fair, she was a mature 22 not like one of those girls that likes stuffed animals, Hello Kitty stuff, and Kpop music.

Freddy42OZ Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 6 hours ago, FruitPudding said: Who cares? You still get the pleasure, right? Your job is to be someone your partner is turned on by, not be repulsed by. If you are having sex just so you get pleasure then you're doing it wrong. You are supposed to give them pleasure and they are supposed to give you pleasure and a big part of that pleasure is not to be repulsed by each others naked bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy42OZ Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 5 hours ago, ThailandYoda said: Hit the gym 💪🏻 and grow your self confidence. 5 years of training and you will be a new man. Good luck on your new fitness journey I already do although not as much as I used to. I'd rather not get bigger, I like being the same size at 56 that I was at 21. I'm 6'2", 72kgs and trying to lose body fat as I'd like to see my abs which got covered with an inch of fat during the pandemic. Like I said I don't look too bad now, but my 38 year old Russian GF is way hotter than someone with my body should be with, and I know that in a few years as I start to get wrinkles and bits start to sag I will not want to be naked in front of her or anyone else. I used to me a male escort and a male stripper, so I'm not lacking in confidence. I just like perfect bodies and mine will never be perfect again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do and I have made provision for my current Thai wife to get 50% of my pensions for her life as well. I am 79, she is 58 and we have been married for 24 years next month. I never had that much hair to start with and what is left is fading from grey to white. Her long black hair is now shorter and grey. However se is still the same woman I met 30 years ago and married 24 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
