What is an Appropriate age difference in Thai/farang Relationships?

[BookMan]

Seems to be constant debate over this

What is your opinion on how many years difference in age is acceptable and why?

[saakura]

Slow sunday??

It doesn't matter?

A motorbike, because T-shirts don't have doors.

It doesn't matter...

Mrs.Trans Thai lady friend is about 40, her Thai husband, a retired teacher, is in his 70's...So regardless of nationality, cash flow is what matters..

Dead right. And that extends more so to the mia-noi/s

If you pay attention while strolling around Central Festival mall in the weekend, you'll realise that the myriad of middle aged (and older) Thai males are not taking their 20 something daughters (or grand daughters) out for shopping and lunch.

Half ones age plus seven is a good rule of thumb. So if a person is 50 they should not bother with anyone below 32.

Financial considerations, not withstanding, a plus or minus 7-10 year age difference, maintains the compatible values of the generational bridge, especially within cross-cultural marriage relationships.

That foundation standard provides for a mature level of stability, required for building solid "partnerships", particularly within the Western male/Asian female relationship.

If two consenting adults wish to share their time together, who is anyone to sit in judgement on them.

More fool anyone who actually cares what other people "think" and actually alters their behaviour because of it, relationships are personal things and its never a case of "one size fits all".

Everybody is different, everybody has different needs and wants that they seek in a partner, thats why they are usually difficult to find "the one".

That is irrespective of age race or gender, or at least it should be.

There was a phrase stated somewhere "most relationships are Love & Hate, she hates being poor, he hates being lonely" , if that fits, and it works for them, what the hell, its their life and their choice.

My wife is 60, and i am 40 but she is very rich and only has 4 kids

There is no "appropriate" age difference but those who choose to be part of large age-gap relationships should be aware that they'll often be subjected to ridicule.

If they can deal with that, I say all power to them - no one's got any right to tell you what to do or who to be with

If they can't, though, tough . . . keep it behind closed doors

Some well made points there

[SantiSuk]

different for everybody.

as long as all members of the relationship / couple / group are of legal age, it doesn't matter to me.

[jerojero]

Why does it matter to you, or anyone else other than the two people involved?

Utter BS. Should not bother? Who are you to dictate rules to others.

It is a public forum, the OP asked a question, and people are entitled to their own opinions.

I, personally, think large age gaps look stupid, and a lot of people would agree with me, some would disagree.

With you, it has obviously hit a nerve.

[manarak]

and why should it involve only two persons 5555

The only guys who care what others think are the ones with the massive hang ups about how ridiculous they look

[benalibina]

23 years, 5 months, 17 days, 22 hours, 11 minutes and 61 seconds.

[Longtooth]

Not greater than 38 years, and only if you're a "hansum man". Actually, the age difference can be in a lineal relationship to your net worth and income.

[MAJIC]

The same question pops up time and time again as regular as clockwork,it's up to the couple concerned,why anyone should be bothered with some one elses

business, and choices in life, I hope he can come to terms with his problem soon! I could venture some explainations,but that could be interpreted as flaming,so I

won't venture down that road!

How long is a piece of string?

[KC 71]

[JLCrab]

When we're out-and-about I'm not concerned about what others might think of me because they're too busy looking at her maybe even to notice me.

[1FinickyOne]

It simply only needs to be acceptable to the 2 adults involved...

[namatjira]

Well there is 25 years age difference between Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall, Gerorge Soros has 42 years age difference with his wife.....2 of the most successful business people on the planet.......surprise, surprise

Brings to mind a saying I once heard..........."Don't worry what other people think about you, it's none of your business"
