Not being able to develop a relationship has nothing to do with age. Although many as they age, refuse to compromise on their way of living, so finding a match may be a bit more challenging.

I've always been that way, and why relationships didn't last long, or I just couldn't match up with one, that didn't agree with my 'free spirit' Try finding a gal that will accept someone who only wants to work 2 or 3 days a week, and leaves home for a week at a time, while she's working a normal 9-5 job 5 days a week, and you actually prefer to work double shifts on weekends.

You come home after a shift, fire up the bbq, and crack a beer, as she's going out the door at 0730 to work.

Due to habits. A loser with no gf for 20 years has no gf habit.

Unless you look at it from their perspective. I'm also sure an STD, which is almost guaranteed if you're doing this wholesale, can be quite hard to deal with, especially the ones that don't go away and could kill you. Also, if you aren't thinking about the fact the woman you're having sex with has had it numerous times, with numerous partners, some going into the thousands, but yes, some don't really care about that fact and are only interested in themselves and that 10 minutes of their own pleasure.

PrEP is your friend. And the rest of what you said should never be given a second thought. The alternative, with all its cost, heartache, and grief, is far worse than any of that.

Like i said, some don't care about a relationship and all it has to offer and just want to have sex with young girls and leave, not realizing or caring what they're leaving behind in the minds of those girls (or boys for some).

I can speak from experience that I know full well what happens if you choose a bad partner, but my mindset is still the same,as I prefer to really get to know and be close with a woman, and will seek that when we move back to the states if my now girlfriend won't join us back there.

I'm also at the age where closeness means a lot more than sex, being 69, and know well the happiness one has holding hands with someone that actually loves you and not your money, listening to music while driving a country road.

Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

It's better to stick to what you can see and touch today. That's all you got at any point in life. At 69 there is no point dreaming about the future. Your life is what you have right here, right now. That's all that's guaranteed. The final act may never come.

Anything is possible in Thailand. Met my GF when I was 49, married her and had a kid when 55. Better late than never!

You also should live for tomorrow, as dreams come true if you let them and aspire towards them. I still have a bucket list to visit many places, and will as long as I'm still here. No dreams and all you have is today, and today might not be that good.

This is a very bizarre society that we're living in, people are actually having "relationships" with online bots, avatars and people they've never met on social media.

You could never convince me that a mentally stable person would do something like that.

That's what I just said.

The entire OP needs to be appended by ".....In The West." Westerners are going to breed themselves into obscurity as, at least Gen-Z, has no interest in sex, and Western women as a rule have always been a stand-offish bunch.

Khun single and retired moves to Thailand and I'd expect better than a 90% chance he ends up either married or with a live-in gik.

Think very carefully about what you just stated. Now apply that to your AN postings, and may I dare say, rantings on a certain subject, person.

Anybody over 50 here can find a good relationship if they're sufficiently motivated and if they are financially stable. That is not the case in America or in Europe anymore, unless they're willing to be with a very, very old and unappealing woman.

It's far, far more likely to be a case of a woman, any woman, doesn't want to be with a very, very old and unappealing man.

This is a public service announcement for the old and "single by choice" blokes on here. You know who you are.

I know you don't like criticism of Trump, but being the goombah and the incredibly ridiculous man he is, who cannot control what he says and rants on a ridiculous level daily, I think you're just simply going to have to get used to that.

No need to get used to it, as I can actually avoid reading most of it posted here on AN.

Maybe you could ask god for some help in choosing more suitable partners.

I talk to God all the time, and yes, I've asked him to help me find a decent woman when I return, unless my girlfriend follows us there. By the way, God said to say hi, and to open your mind, because he's been watching you. I will find another woman if my girlfriend here doesn't follow, and one around 45-50, as that's my health and shape type now.

To which one of the estimated 3,600 Gods are you talking?

I'm thinking most of the people here are on the left, a little, and some more on the right, a little,with the rest like me in the middle.

I also think most here have a woman, myself included, and are only here because of that, at least until some of us go back to our native country or inhabit another , at least for awhile.

I know I'm not crazy, and from what I've seen here for years, most aren't either. Eccentric a little, but that's a good part of a character, as it makes you an individual, as well as more interesting and healthier minded. A few choice characters here are definitely out there, but I won't name names, even though we're all aware of them.

You would be surprised to discover how many have a male or a transgender as their go to for sexual relations.

The one and only. The rest are false gods some people need for help. Like trees, Odin, Zeus, and many more. if there were more than one God, there would be obvious signs of one-upmanship, trying to prove who's the best. No, there was one creator, who made everything from his mind, and gave us free will to choose what we believe in. He made the rules, and many don't want to follow them, which sadly is why the worlds so messed up.

Why is your God the one and only? Maybe yours is the false one, and number 147 is the real one?

Again, if there were 147 there would obviously be infighting to show the world's inhabitants who is the stronger God. Or would you think they are all up in Mt. Olympus smoking a tremendously large bong, laughing at all of us here, a weird creation from one of the gods because he was bored and wanted to have something to joke about with the other 3500?
