    I'd figure due to the age gap, this would be one of the sticking points/negotiating points in most of these such relationships.

    What about issues with fertility and trying for a baby (for example failed vasectomy reversals, general DNA damage in older sperm resulting in more miscarriages) which have hampered the relationship?
    What's your point? Is it an innocent question or the sort of crap that a troll comes up with? Are you suggesting that everyone with a Filipina partner is in their 80's. Don't believe the stereotypes, there are lots of younger guys who have Filipina partners. Your profile says you are 27, if you think everyone who is interested in Filipinas is old, why are you here?

    If you are genuine and not one of the many trolls we get, no offence intended

    Believe me, it's was an innocent question. If I were a troll I'd be here looking to start arguments and to annoy. But that is certainly not what I'm here to do. Granted I do ask questions which push the boundaries, things most people don't like to talk about, but that's just me, not interested in asking what everyone else has asked (I can do a search and quite easily find those answers here). I also like to stimulate debate. Sorry.

    Indeed, I am only 27, and I do realise that not everyone on this forum who is with a filipina is old enough to be a granddad. But to pretend that there is not a mechanism in place here whereby a Westerner can seek a foreign bride, who is desperate to get out of her country to have a better life would be silly.

    Not saying it's the case with everyone here, but it seems common for the man to be around 40-50, and the bride to be in her 20's. To me that's a significant age gap (i.e. 20 years). My ex was 10 years older than me, so I'm not unfamiliar with age gaps in relationships, and I don't have a problem with it. The implication was that in some cases, the husband may have already had kids with an ex-wife/partner, and may not have wanted to have more, or possibly had a vasectomy etc. I never meant to imply that any of you are old and washed up.

    I'm looking to meet a filipina myself. My social circle of friends are mostly White, Mixed Race, and Black. I prefer to broaden my cultural influences. Most South Asians are quite closed when it comes to relationships with those outside their ethnicity or caste. Whereas Filipinas seem more open.

    I've never been married, I don't have kids of my own. Although as I mentioned before I've helped friends (lesbians) conceive children via Artificial Insemination (i.e. I was their sperm donor).

    Well, you dont seem to be doing very well so far, and with assumptions like that I dont think you will win many more friends.

    So are you paying child support then ? if not why not ?
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    It's not an assumption when someone else said it already. (sorry to bring you in grahamw48, but I'm not a Respected Member yet, so my opinion doesn't count)

    Yup depends on how

    A spokesman for Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said: "The law says that men donating sperm through licensed fertility clinics are not the legal father of any child born through that donation. "Men giving out their sperm in any other way - such as via internet arrangements - are legally the father of any children born with all the responsibilities that carries."
