Am I Rationalising Or What !

[Classic Dry]

I've been looking at the internet dating sites for a while.

I don't take it too seriously, but I have started a few conversations.

Very generally (and I know this isn't fair) I'm going to suggest that

there are 3 groups of females.

(1) The very young. Say 18 to 30

(2) Those who are between 30 and 40

(3) Those between 40 and 50

Now you must remember that I'm 68. Bearing in mind that I like a pretty face as much

as the next man, of course I only talk to those females whom I find attractive.

Although I look at ladies from everywhere, my real interest is with the Philippines.

Those attractive ladies between 40 and 50 mostly live in China. I haven't communicated

with anyone from China, but there are some very lovely looking women well over 40 there.

By and large the 30 to 40 group don't seem to want me, the reason being, I think,

that in 10 or 15 years time when I'm dribbling and peeing my pants, it may be too

late for them to start looking around again.

So, the 18 to 30 group. Of course lots of them are looking for money, but I've had good

and serious conversations with a few. I'm honest with them and they seem accepting of me.

What do you think guys ? Am I kidding myself ?

At 57 I married a 19 year old. 6 plus years later we have 2kids and are still happily married. Sooooo. Go for it!

MR BIL BROCK! You are such an evil man!!! Married a 19 year old? At least my Special Someone will be in her 20s (as in 20) by then... And you are so old! I'm only going to be 55 next month... Ok, so my poor attempt at humour is sadly lacking... :mocking: And, honestly? We know how you feel about your wife and children! :yes: :541: :tiphat:

So, for our wondering OP, if you worry about age in a country where age doesn't mean the same as it does in your country, well... Just make sure that she loves you and is there for you and not your wallet. As I said many times, my Special Someone was only suppose to be a pen pal - mostly because of her age. I have often said that I thought she was too young for me. But time changed my mind when I realized that she was probably more honest, mature AND also exactly the woman I not only wanted but dreamed of finding. Regardless if she was older, younger, or even the same age as I am, she would still be the one I want to be with for the rest of my life... :-kiss: :mocking:

I am 69, my wife is 35. We have been married 12 years now, have a 4 yr. old son, planning to have another child this year and I could not be happier. I had the same concerns as you and most other guys our age, but in my case my concerns were quickly put to rest by the loving, caring and loyal nature of my wonderful Filipina wife. I don't think you're kidding yourself at all.

I second Bil Brock's statement, "GO FOR IT"

Damn, I'm 48 and my girlfriend is 24.... she seems old in comparison! ha ha

Oh... and go for it!

Get yourself fit and active and don't look back.

Do you plan to live in Philippines or Australia?

From our observations here in the States a large age difference maybe a problem. Not in all cases but just sayin.

i shall start with this, when looking for your future girlfriend/wife dont let your dick decide who is the best for you,use your brain and eyes, just take your time, enjoy talking and finding out who is going to be the best for you ,the ones that are not in you but your money will tell you everything you want to know, may even show a bit of flesh too after awhile, those just say goodbye too, its the ones that just love to talk and listern and do not ask you for anything, they are the ones to stay and talk too again,good luck who ever you chose and what ever age she is, also remember the younger she is she may want to have a child are you ready for that, say what you are looking for and are wanting from her and ask what she is looking for from you too, hope these wise words help

Perhaps you should seriously look at another group. Say around 25 with a young child that lives with her, find a single Mum who loves her child enough to have the child living with her rather than being "farmed out" to a relative. They know that a single Mums come with baggage and therefore are not so attractive to many men, I believe they could be a better long term bet, mother nature's call when in her thirties is not so strong if she already has a child. Having a young child is not so tying in the Phils, a ya-ya can be employed very cheaply to give you plenty of quiet time together.
