Hi Mrs. J Major,
In my humble opinion, it depends.
Example if they have known each other for quiet sometime and let say he is caring, generous, and thoughtful and those traits that made the woman fell for him, then love develops.
I have a friend who married to a guy whose 25 years older than her, she used to be the guy`s carer for 5 years then they fell inloved to each other so they decided to get married, so that would be called LOVE.
But some they willing to marry the guy even he is a lot older than her and even she has not know him that long, well thats entirely their own choice.
I just feel so sorry for those women who can afford to leave this beautiful country Oh my Philippines!and migrate to foreign land just to live with the man that she does not really love or she just marry him because she just wanted to get out of the country as you said in your post Mrs. JMajor.
And I feel so sorry for that guy, too that she just used him.![]()
