Age Difference

Careful. Bitterness and envy will give you a heart attack.

I thought I just made a post here which highlighted some of the opinions made by other posters....but since I cant see it around it's either deleted or I'm completely computer illiterate...

It probably didn't matter anyway.

Great post, dmax. You would also look good on my "troller". But she is tied up in Tofino right now waiting for a salmon opening.

Maybe that fat old guy was her step father. Had that ever occured to you? The Thai children I adopted always hold my hand when we go for a walk. As Transom said, I detect a little envy there. And, what business is it of anyone else but the couple who are together for whatever reason?

Your post says a whole lot more about you than the person or persons you are referring to.

Welcome to the "Young guys who have discovered old guys have it made in Thailand club."

Great reply, Mark; I wish I had made it. It shows that we CAN have a bit of fun without insulting anyone.

[dumball]

Dmax , did you not even give a thought to the fact that the beauty of any age has a personal choice of her consort , 18-80 , they have only to say NO in a very loud voice and the consort can be apprehended , that way she may even get payed without even " Coming across " so to speak .

I admit when I first came to Thailand as young man I did not find these type of views pleasing to the eye

I do still occasionally wonder what desperation and expectation can drive people to do at times.........but as the Thai say........not my business..........if it works for them fine

I learned last year that there are successful, educated women here in Thailand who will go with much older foreign men NOT because they're after the guy's money.

The woman I'm referring to is 37; the guy is 63. She has a top job; he is one of the highest paid foreigners in Thailand. Their relationship works (worked) due to a common interest: she is obsessed with a particular sport; he has devoted his entire life to that sport.

Ultimately, age difference is relative. No one would bat an eyelid if a 90 year-old man were to announce his forthcoming marriage to a 60 year-old woman.

But I do think that older men pairing off with women less than, let's say, 30 is a bit immature. I am in my early forties and (as a single man) I will only date girls 5-10 years younger. I would never go with a girl in her twenties.

I love that line in American Beauty, "You, don't get to tell me, what to do, ever again"

Another favorite is; "I am not responsable for what you think I am"

The day I start caring about what other people think is the day I put a bullet in my brain.

My wife was 21 when I met her through her mother who owned the restuarant I frequented. I was attracted to her personality which I guess reminded me of myself at that age. Her mom was a good friend who had been to my home many times and knew what a whore dog I was. She would not let us be alone with each other until she was convinced that my intentions were good. We dated for a year, got married and went back to the states to travel. Five years later I continue to adore her and be grateful for the opportunity to be this much in love.

I know that their are narrow minded people who have a problem with it, but my question to you is what makes you think that you know what is better for me? What is missing from your own life that you ignore your own issues and focus on someone else? When I meet people who care about what others think of them I feel sorry for THEM because they will never discover what is in their own hearts while they are imprisoned by other peoples opinions. My suggestion to them is mind your own business and I will continue to mind mine.

But for most, would the age of a 'date' be determined by if you were looking for a life partner, or a two week shagathon party?

[IanForbes]

I would agree with you, Andrew if I were actually looking for even a short time relationship... but I'm not. I enjoy the company of anyone if they are interesting, or if they have someting to offer that I would enjoy sharing with them. It could be sex, it might be conversation or sports, but more often it is something in the art field, such as: writing, painting, photography etc.. I also agree that an elderly man is not likely to have anything, other than sex, in common with a young woman who still doesn't know who SHE is, let alone someone else. But, that shouldn't matter if they enjoy sex together. The simple act of love making seldom lasts more than an hour, so what are you going to do or say for the OTHER 15 or 16 hours that you might be awake? I think that alone would prove your point. I don't think anyone is deluding themselves that it is anything but a simple business transaction when a couple of widely varying ages get together. It is tough enough to make things happen properly when both parties are of the same cultural background and similar education. My hat is off to all those couples who are still happiliy married after many years. I congratulate them... but they are NOT the norm.

Best post in this treat so far

[Shotime]

I've always preferred younger women than myself after I reached my mid-fifties. Most of these younger women (At present, she is 20 years younger than me), will tell you what you want to hear. My experience with younger women is that the only problem is they really prefer younger men. That's not to say they don't like being with you, although in some cases they don't. If you are good company, can amuse and appear interesting to them, you're going to be ok. Of course, these are all generalities, exzcept for the fact they do prefer younger men. It's only natural.

I have never seen any evidence of that. It must be that you are obese or smelly. Doubt it has anything to do with your age.

Why you breaking my chops, chops? I once was blind, but now I see. I am a little smelly, though.

Yeah -- I know where you're coming from. The 37 year-old woman I referred to is my son's mother. She had an affair with a 63 year-old foreigner and I became single again last August.

When dating (and so far I've not dated too much), I do look for someone "suitable". I guess you know what I mean.

As for "two week shagothons", to be honest I'm so bloody desperate that I'd take anything. That said, I really doubt I'd last more than two minutes!

At least you have retained your sense of humour.

I just do not see the majority of men.......whatever they say on Tvisa.........whatever their age.......going into the places they frequent....... and when being approached and engaged in conversation by a stunning 20 year old.............sending her on her way with a request for somebody over 30.......who has an interest in writing, painting and photography.........but of course I may have it all wrong....

[KhunChay]

Not for the ones who got stuck in their age, can't find the way out and surrendered to the teeth of time

You are right. Any 100% guy would feel nature take over.

But for some here who sound past it when they have a long way to go to be a senior is really funny. Think l will call them viagra guys.

who gives a flying fart what you can stand seeing or can't? close your eyes if you don't like what you see!

i admit that i find it quite odd when i see a couple a described above. but then i don't get into some sort of rage and tell other people what they can do or not. sometimes i even admire an old bugger for having the guts to push a pram with one hand and lead a toddler on the other hand.

I understand one of the most desirable women on the planet, Scarlet Johannson, at just 26 yo, has just moved in with her ugly boyfriend who is nearly twice her age.

The truth of what matters with a large age differential is your state of mind " If you don't mind , it don't matter "

If you do not like it , lump it , just look the other way , as the gorgeous lady said to the dwarf " Keep your nose out of my buisiness "

With a 34 year age gap (she was 22 when he kicked Mia out of bed for her daughter and he was 56). He said, "The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to those things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that's that."

Welcome to the "Young guys who have discovered old guys have it made in Thailand club."

I think he was just wishing he was twenty years younger and could still get it up, like you and Ian.

I don't know why he wants to let out such a stream of foul bile against 18 year-olds, though. I guess some people just don't know how to treat a lady.

From the picture he's posted at then end, he looks like he sounds - a foul grumpy bald git.

He's just jealous of your youth and charm.

When he was sixty, he could probably pull the birds as well.

He's got a grand vocabulary, though, and he's clearly nailed your character down to a tee, Namm. Maybe you should take his advice, and join one of the Pattaya Investors' Circles...
