Guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 I agree, age makes no difference.. (of course I have to say that because my g/f is substantially younger than me) ..but it really does make no difference. Some girls aren't into discos and dancing and that kind of thing - after all it's somewhat akin to fluffing your feathers and playing the field isn't it?.. No need for that they've got what they want at home. There are many other things to do for fun.. I cannot think of the reason why age difference is stigmatised back home.. anyone have any insight into this? FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lazyphil Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Fair play to you BB. I can't understand why this question should ever get raised in the first place, for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jai-dee Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 My GF is 28 years younger than me, and she has problems to catch up with me most of the time. But then I do feel 20 years younger when I'm with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walletss Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 If you are talking about a serious relationship then it does matter and it can be a huge problem for some. If you are older and she is younger she will want a family and unless you are interested in that commitment you will find the relationship will go down the drain. A GTG with reasonable prospects will not be prepared to waste time on an older farang who is not looking to start a family. If you are talking about poor Thai women trying to survive financially then it?s all the same charade. Of course if you are looking for marriage and a family, then you don?t have that immediate problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 I use 20 years or younger as my gauge. One thing i don't want is a girl-looking person so if the she is at the min. of 24 (i am 44), she has to be a women-looking person (possessing looks and maturity). I am just not into father-daughter looking relationships. I am personally more comfortable with the couple-looking appearance for myself. A lot of that will be determined by the women's life experiences. I would suspect 15 years and over, the usually drawing card is economics/security. The closer in age, probably less for economic reasons but it all depends on how you meet your lady. These dating services where majority of the girls are poor and looking for a better opportunity and possible financial sercurity, they seem to cap their upper limit between 15 to 20 years older than their age. For whatever reason, 45 in the minds of thai women in their mid twenties seem to be the upper most range. So I believe it does matter to thai women your age and especially how you look for your age. It is not limitless on their perception of it. I am addresses a permanent relationship and not rent a gf for a night or a week. Who cares about the latter regarding age.........

gobbledonk Posted July 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Age-wise, she could be my biological daughter, and I take your point. People are unlikely to mistake us for a father-daughter pairing for two reasons: 1. She has her own, distinct personality : she wont live in anyones shadow 2. She's Chinese, and I'm not Seriously, it comes down to whether this is an issue for the people who matter or just the onlookers who comprise 'polite society'. Good to get so much feedback, though - thanks to all who participated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 W.A. And I bet it lasts ( your relationship) for years. It's an attitudinal thing....and you probably have it big time. Stay as you are..... Cheers, Kiwi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
