Age Difference... When Is Too Much Just Too Much..??

[WillsG25]

I think that if the Philippines were not so soaked in poverty, there would be a lot less old westerners married to young Filipina. I think that there are many western guys taking advantage of the fact they have the attraction of the wallet and foriegn passport. How could it be that a girl of 20 be physically attracted to one 25 years her senior! How many old guys do you see with a relatively wealthy girl? I could never see nor accept a guy dating my daughter who is over 10 years older than her. My wife in 2 years older than I, so I have nothing to be ashamed of, my family were shocked when they first visited the Philippines to see a vast majority of old guys with these yound girls! Many take that long trip from the UK to find the young little thing, may it be Philippines, Thailand or China. But at the end of the day it is not my place to judge one unless it involves memebers of my family, I am sure in these mentioned relationships both parties are happy, but I would seriously doubt that all of them are of true love!

You haven't read this thread very well, do we need to put it in pictures to make it easier?

More Brit-Brit age gap relationships exist than Brit-Foreigner , and you'll find more Brit-EU age gap relationships than Brit-Asia.

Yes according to your bar graph there tends to be a increased age gap between couples in the UK, but not on the same magnitude as it is with age gaps of 25 years plus (your bar graph only goes up to 10 years) with Philippine-foreign couples. I rarely see a guy my own age from the UK in Manila. As soon as Filipinos see my wife with my daughter they instantly think that she has married a old guy. I think per person ratio you will find that age gaps will surely be highier with Brit-Phil than it were with Brit-Brit!

(your bar graph only goes up to 10 years) !

So you don't know what the '+' sign means

You are so right.... My daughter is 19 years old, last year our family was vacationing in the Philippines, and we were having a family day out at SM San Fernando in Pampanga. My daughter wanted to buy a few clothes, so we split up, my wife went with our two boys to buy a couple of watches, and I went with my daughter.

When my daughter was looking around in the shop, she had some very heated words with a shop assistant who had encouraged her to spend as much as she could since her boy friend was picking up the bill.

Filipinos and Filipinas in the Philippines now exactly what drives these grotesque age chasm mis-matches..

YEP THAT'S wHAT I BELIEVE TOOO,THAT I CAN NEVER EVER BE IN A RELATIONSHIP wHERE I CAN BE wITH A GUY 20 PLUS YEARS THAN ME,EVEN 10 YEARS.BUT HEY THATS JUST ME...IF SOME PEOPLE ARE HAPPY THEN CONGRATS TO THEM...

I ALSO ADMIRE THESE YOUNG GIRLS' COURAGE...BEING IN A SOCIETY wHERE PEOPLE LOVE TO JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE AND TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.AND ITS NOT ALREADY A SHOCKER HERE IF U SEE A 15 YEAR OLD GURL wITH AN OLD BLOAK THAT PRETT MUCH LOOK LIKE HIS DAD OR GRANPA ALREADY...SAD BUT TRUE...

If an older man is single, there’s probably a reason why. In which case, a much younger girl shouldn’t be seeing him.

Hi Queenbee..

Some of the olde boys on this forum will never see the self evident reality behind your observations..

I would agree with your comments about your visiting family being shocked at these inter-generational mismatches, they are grotesque, and as you say they are the product of a poverty soaked society..

So I guess you'll be writing to Gordon Brown then to complain about his relationship in this poverty stricken land?

Quite right, as long as the couple are happy, that's all matters. No laws are being broken and no-one is getting upset, so I don't understand why some people make it an issue.

Elsa and I are only a few years apart, (I'm 41, she's 37) but Elsa looks about 21 and only 4'9" in height, so we get the stares at the supermarket and on the High Street.
