hi to everybody

i would like to listen to your sincere opinions
about age gap -different age between western men and filipinas girls

what is the truth?

do they(girls) really want to meet men 15,20,25 older or more than them?
or is it just marketing of dating agencies?

regards

Some. perhaps many, prefer older guys.
They are more mature, less likely to "butterfly" and chase other women and are usually more stable financially, although the latter doesnt seem as important to many of them.

Way back, it used to be reckoned that the ideal age was that the man should be within a couple of years of twice the girls age.

I have seen many happy marriages between couples where there was a considerable age gap.
On the other hand, many of the modern and better educated Filipinas prefer someone closer in age to themselves.

One point, many people reckon that, on average, their maturity is roughly the same as a western woman of ten years younger than the Filipina.

Agree with Alan...
I know some happy couples that have been together for some time now and have at least one kid where the age difference is greater than 15 years...
An old foreman of mine once said that when he retires he was going to live in the Philippines and find himself a young(18-19ish) Filipina and settle down to become a dirty old man(can't blame him either)...
If I was to settle down(only going to happen if I win the lottery) with a Filipina I would prefer their age in the high 20's early 30's as it would be just a tad closer to my 46 plus they would hopefully be that much more mature and a tad more stable in a relationship...

I know a lot of Filipinas, and one problem I find is persuading them that they are too young for me.
They seem surprised that any older foreigner would not be interested in them.

Yes, the younger ones look attractive and can be fun, but for a long term relationship, I would prefer someone older.

The hotel ID thing is a security precaution. I guess too many men have woken up to find themselves alone and with an empty wallet cusssing

Western men and women are referred to as "farang". Not really a polite word but heard all the time.

So are you coming to thailand or heading for the philippines??
occasion

To me, one of the great things about the Philippines is that they treat older people with respect. So different from in UK / Europe / USA / etc.

As this is part of the culture, many girls tend not to consider age as a barrier, as, us being older gains us more repect and makes us more desireable.

(One of the few benefits of ageing!!!!)
