    In each and every case, this is for the "much younger woman" to decide, not for some other man's or woman's jealous ass.

    I don’t know what fairness has to do with this; it really comes down to money. The older man has it, and the young woman wants some of it. It's a means to increase their standard of living. You mostly

I don't date 30 years younger. It would be weird. My cut off is 20 years which is one generation.

In the US after my late wife passed I dated a woman thirty years my junior for about three years. Neither one of us gave a hoot what others thought and strangers often referred to us as being married, neither did her parents and most of our friends gave a damn. The stigmatization lays squarely on those who carry such conditional cultural judgmental attitudes. Some folks simply don’t have such hang-ups and find it easy to navigate through various social situations opening a broader range of social experiences and relationships especially when looking for someone with commonalities. So no, for some a monetary transactional relationship isn’t a paramount for a secure relationship, it’s about further compatibility.

There simply is the couple with a age difference and the straight up freak show with a 20 year old girl straight from a farm, looking like she isn't really sure to realize that the sun is up, with some heavily overweight 50+ dude.

I'm not sure they realize but virtually anyone hates those guys. You only get away with that sht if you stay within PTY or Phuket lol. This aside from the fact that it in 9/10 cases becomes extra obvious as the girl straight away starts flirting any younger guy around, when the old one not pays attention. I guess this describes quite a few forum members here too lol.

And yes, these ladies almost always cheat, as long it is safe to get away with. I did many their wives in my 20s here.

My wife is 34 yrs my junior, she definitely picked me for marriage. She's Creole/Honduran so quite spicy. She was 28, managed one of the largest Mexican restaurants/Bars in New Orleans.
Had her stuff together, I couldn't see a reason not to.

ng 6 to 12 time zones, or the Equator, makes a man infinitely more handsome, so no wonder 20-something Thai women are enamored of chubby old curmudgeons from the West.

And you forgot to mention whether you mean crossing time zones West to East, or the Equator from above or below.

And please do not tar ALL Thai women with the same brush. My 27 year old step-daughter certainly would not entertain a 'chubby old curmudgeon' as you suggest.

Are we talking about prostitutes or normal girls?

There is some moral to consider for those who have moral. But if you do not have any moral, then what is really to discuss?

Being well above 50, I would not be entertained or comfortable dating a 20 year old. For me it would most likely feel like a sugar daddy project.

Anyway, we just have to accept that many men get turned on by younger women, for whatever reasons that might be. Others simply feel more comfortable with mature company.

And by younger women I do not mean women above 30, or even 25. At that age they should be grown enough to know what they want. Still, it surprises me how immature and naive some women can be, especially in Asia, where age and life experience do not always match.

Sure Mr. goodie two shoes Mr. moral superior. Now tell us how many 20 year youngsters have you paid for? And don’t come back with a lying none because none will believe you.

I do worry about what her life will be like after I've gone - but that's why 'our' house is in her name, and we've also bought some rental properties in her name for her future income.

But I also remind myself that she pursued me, not the other way around. She was 30 and I was 51, and she decided she wanted to be my wife.

She used most of her wages to pay for English lessons, she got her driving license so she could pick me up from the airport after my weekly business trips - she'd be at the meeting point in Suvarnabhumi with an iced drink and a big smile at whatever time my flights arrived. Then she just sort of moved in, made sure I ate healthily, and she stocked the fridge, cleaned the house and started to help with my business.

She knew she was irresistibly hot, but she also worked hard to make herself indispensable, as she knew beauty is not in short supply in Thailand. Sixteen years later and she still works hard in our partnership. She's says our relationship is 80/20, with her doing the 80%, which is harsh, as it's more like 75/25 😅

But yes, I ask her sometimes if she wished she had a younger husband, but she says "you've always been old, you were old when I met you, you're older now, that the relationship I chose".

She believes we were meant to be together in this life and the next, and doesn't worry about it ..... she has a very Thai outlook on fate.

Thank you for this. It is amazing how many grumpy old farts try to put a damper on those of us who are lucky to have found a good woman 20, 30 and even 40 years younger. I’m very sure that these jealous men that can’t make the catch have repulsive issues that repel selective young women who have the luxury of being picky.

I know you're being sarcastic, but many of the Thai girls you meet while not sitting on a bar stool are really very sweet. They believe the fairytale.

Mine made an offering of a red rose at the Central World shrine, where many Thai girls believe they can find love, and the next day she spotted me, and thought "oh, a falang, nevermind, he must be the one".

She's from Samut Prakarn, the low wage powerhouse for many Bangkok businesses, and she travelled to work each day on the bus, as the BTS was too expensive.

Over the last 16 years she's been my utterly faithful ompanion through work crises, health scares (she caught Dengue, I got pneumonia), and financial ups and downs. She revitalised my interest in travel as I could show her the world. She'd never been on an aeroplane, but now she's seen snow in Japan, snorkelled in the Maldives, visited London, Hong Kong, Seoul and more. I also took her to a polo match for the full Pretty Woman 'divot stomping' experience, although she found the HiSo women a little intimidating.

I still sometimes worry if I took advantage of her financial situation, but from her viewpoint our relationship was fate and "elle ne regrette rien".

My tone was sarcastic, but I meant it. Truly, I'm happy for you. You are happy, she's happy, everyone is happy. No problem with it at all. Great that it all worked out for you. For all the thousands of failures at least you aren't one of them. An example of shining light. It's not the right set up for me. I'm past that point. I like things the way they are. Clean, simple, independence. Freedom. Solitude. Covid was excellent training for it all. A bit lonely at times, but not much and consistency and no surprises are the best payoff. Different strokes...

As long as it is within the law and both parties are consenting adults, then what's the problem as both sides benefit from the arrangement? There are so many attempts now to oppress and restrict free will/opinion, shaming through bitterness on social media, and judgement on adult decision making... let people decide for themselves as many that whine don't understand the cultural differences, nuances, and reality of places... even the reality of where they actually live in the West.

Stop judging everything on western society terms when you have no concept of things outside of your country.

Go on TikTok or YouTube and there are hundreds of embittered women from the US and Europe having tantrums because many western men are going their own way, stepping back, not dating because the deal is so bad, and not putting up with the entitled dating BS.

As long as it's all cool with both sides and legal, then it's no-one's business other than those involved. Don't listen to bitter western women on social media having a hissyfit over "passport bros" or people that have had enough of their BS... it's about you and your partner's happiness, nothing else.

Why do you think guys are looking for feminine women abroad? Because that's the only place to find such women now. This independent woman "boss lady" nonsense lie has run its course. How about you just let people do what they want... or is that too hard?

Personally never restricted dating by age, though compatibility on both sides is an imperative for a long term serious relationship. Older women know what they want, another body next to them. Young women want the security of direction and guidance, unless of course she’s a beggar.

Security, definitely is what they want if they are poor. Direction and guidance?

Older quality women want a lot more than a body next to them.

Really not any difference between 20 and 30 years. Your ego is setting a limit that is defensible.

I've tried all age differences and by far the best times I've had are with women my own age that I find "hot".

Have rented many in both age numbers.

There is a 100% difference in their girlie bits.

Do you have any idea how easy it to make that catch in Thailand? You basically buy their love in most cases with rare exception. I'm not jealous and just get on with my life. To each his own and some pull it off but the odds are slim :)

I haven't noticed this in the women I have chosen to be with the last 30 years. If she is beautiful with her clothes on and off, then I'm good. It is a complete package for me and I think you are looking for the next big bang before moving on. I've been there but not interesting anymore.

Nothing to do with ego. With a 30 or 40 or even 50 year age gap you have nothing in common. 80yo dating a 30yo is pure $ for her and sex or companionship for him.

You stated 20 was your cut off in your earlier post. I agree 50 is weird but some need the ego boost and the lady needs the cash.

You get weird posters above claiming that a certain type of beautiful woman is attracted to much older men. Now that is delusionally wacky. It is what they need to make it work in their head. They have found their unicorn :)

20 year old butts are tight and non jiggly and un cottaged cheese. Works for me.

At 80yo hopefully im dating a 62yo fun woman that is pleasant company. Paying a hooker at 30yo to pretend to like me is weird.

The chance of you ever finding someone willing to pretend they like you is somewhere between slim and nonexistent. Actually, forget slim. You have even tried throwing money at the problem more times than anyone can count, and we both know how pathetically that ended every time. If only you could bolt a pair of tits onto your precious AN you spend eighteen hours a day welded to, you would finally have the perfect relationship.

Whats the difference ?

I think in all fairness anyone seeing an older male with a younger female wil understand that at it's core this is a business relationship, nothing more.

Both involved are getting some value and the "relationship" is wholly transitory.

Though it can get cringy when there's a lot of public display of affection, hand holding, kissing, etc, no one wants to see that.
