    Opinion for massive age gap?

    Hi everyone!
    I don't know if this topic is already raised in this forum,because as what I've experience as this days passes were too difficult. Yes it is a democratic country, but still we can't blame the people around us making noisy nonsense about their neighbors.

    What I am trying to imply is that this massive age gap about foreign partners or other half, because as time goes by, I found out that Foreign men with a massive age gap towards their Filipina partners are too good. They never play things. Too serious, and definitely won't hurt the woman they found. I was really amaze by this treatment. And most of all they are the insurance that they never ever leave you if you just been a honest and faithful woman. What I want to know about this forum on how these partners handle the situation with all the people around sayings the girl just a gold digger or etc...which I have known is just a rare case here..

    Is it applicable when the girl is in there 20's and the foreign man is on his 60's?
    Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...

    Age is just a number its how you feel about each other that counts. if you are happy with each other and in your heart it feels right sod what others think as long as you are both happy.

    I think the biggest gap I ever saw was a pinay of 18 or 20(cant remember exactly,long time ago)and the guy was 70 or 71 Old carabao eats young grass?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    you shouldn't be bother by what other people tells about you...at the end of the day its your life not theirs. personal opinion of others can be different from yours.

    am not against to this big age gap nor questioning their intentions but personally am not favor of it at least for myself....

    Generally in the UK it's because people are jealous of the guy.

    I suppose all the single mothers here living on benefits, the many many divorcees, the people in abusive relationships etc etc are entitled to their views.

    My ex was a mere 15 years younger than me, but both here and in the Phils the age difference was a non-issue.

    Mentally we were probably a similar age.

    Haha i always agree with Grahams posts!
    I had an opinion many years ago that i would never wanna be with a young girl and stop her doing what was natural for that age, ie going out to pubs and clubs etc.
    Since my mid thirties i much prefer hanging out with good friends and having meals, bbq's etc at each others places. The moral of the story is if you are with someone and you both enjoy each others company and what each of you is "into" then thats great.
    My GF loves the surfing, beach life and i am getting her a beginners board later this year and a snorkel set for the flat days when there are no waves and she is genuinely excited to do both.
    I think where relationships don't work is because the interests are different, reminds me of the time that i was with a "hot" Western chick some 13 years ago, she was into the clubbing scene and i was often working my ass off and felt like relaxing in the evenings, so guess.........i was the one at home looking after "her" young kids whilst she was attracting loads of young guys who would then be ringing the house at all hours etc.........NICE!!
    Live and learn eh.........never again!

    I never did understand why age-gap should be so important to anyone.
    If it's not an important issue between the two people concerned, then so what.
    As long as two people want to be together, have feelings, mutual respect for each other and a communication that fulfils them both, then they should be considered lucky.

    I'm actually lucky in this respect as my wife is older than me..................by 3 months!!!!! Thats right I'm a toy boy!!!!

    i think the reason alot of younger women tend to favour older cahps out in the far east is due to the thinking that the men when they've reached a certain age, say +55 they are finacially secure, done what they want to achieve and most importantly have done their fooling around.

    From the blokes point of veiw they get to spend their days with a young, pretty, faithful, kind g/f or wife.

    I'd say its happy days for both and sod the neighbours
    It's been emontional

    There's never been any serious discussion between my wife and me about age difference.
    But, I do remember the first time I asked her how old she was ................

    Anyway that initial reaction didn't last long. We just get on so well. Compatibility.
    We're just a married couple.

    in principle I have no objections to age gaps Ligaya is only 13 years younger and we met through shared hobbies activities so have always had common interests. I do wonder a little about the common interests in gaps beyond say 25 years but that being said i know several such couples and have seen much love demonstrated in those marriages /partnerships. And as for neighbours/friends even family.. sod ed all be happy LOL
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!

    Is it applicable when the girl is in there 20's and the foreign man is on his 60's?
    Have you got a 60+ year old friend SH?I know a pinay working in a call centre in Davao,her chatmate is almost 70,she is 30+,I asked her what attracted her to him,the usual answers kind,loyal,loving then I pointed out a pinoy guy who was the approximate age of her puti "Beau" and asked would she find the old pinoy guy attractive,she replied "No way" when I asked why a puti so old she said "Thats different",I never quite worked that one out?

    There are two types of people in the world,one trickster one crazy?

    those who's smart enough can answer this easily
    I cant lay claim to being smart but I kind of figured why the old puti was wayyyyyy more attractive than the old pinoy

    3Ms hahaahah,.I'm really aware on that issues, that's why Im quite awkward about taking some actions. What made me feels some special feelings toward him is that because of the way he always take me to home after work, which obviously my home is 1 hour away from my work.
    Well, anyway the feelings get develop, but nothing still serious...


    Well, we can say manloloko to any woman if maybe obviously they found each other on the net and chatting, definitely you can scam, but frankly we found each other in person known each other's companion and friends..so scamming would be a hard deal..

    Mostly Filipinos dont mind regarding how old the guys is... as long as you are in a relationship with blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, very tidy when he dressed up and an english speaking! It is acceptable in our culture but sure is I cant be with an old Filipino guy who is just like my father's age I might probably sick with that (sorry to those who are offended). We have got a massive age gap difference with my husband but I dont understand that the feeling is like you are having a same age filipino boyfriend that you are dating with. I feel so lucky because I have found the personality that Im looking for and I dont like to ruin it. We are so happy and we dont care about others opinion especially the neighbors gossip lol!. They just dont understand how contented I am, for me, oposite really attracts. Its odd, isnt it??

    I don't think I could be with someone who was young enough to be my daughter but that's me but if some men are happy with the age gap and their partners are happy, then fair play

    I was born in September 1944, and my daughter in August 1969 ... one month short of my 25th birthday; which is maybe WHY I'd feel more than a little self-conscious to be seen walking down the street here in Perth with someone of HER age "on my arm".
