Popular Post bastonjock Posted April 13, 2018 Popular Post Posted April 13, 2018 Well I was at my Thursday night Jive session and there is a young philipine lady there ,I've seen her before with a guy who is about 20 years older than her , I made the incorrect assumption that he they had met in the Phil's, got married etc and returned to live in England . I had a dance with her and ended the dance by saying Salamat, she looked at me and said Tagalog ! With a smile on her face , we then had a chat about my recent visit and she asked me to try to persuade her man to visit the Phil's, so my assumption was totally wrong , turns out she is a teacher and has a PhD, he's a builder and they met at Jive , it's definitely not a case of her being after the money , it's changed my view to being able to accept that there can be an age gap in a relationship that's not money orientated 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Old55 Posted April 14, 2018 Forum Support Posted April 14, 2018 I used to be an ageist. One thing the forum has taught me is many Filipinas don't mind older guys especially when living in the Philippines. Dave and a few others turned me around. On the other hand in our experience here in the States few 20+ year gap couples have lasted more than ten years. The successful ones with large age gaps tended to be financially well off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These day, in Canada, few couples of ANY age gap last more than 10 years. Making a relationship last a lifetime is a dying art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewool Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Well there is 17 years between me and Emma but in our minds we are both young lovers. I have seen other couples who are older then me and others who are younger too, its all about being happy with what you have and i am very happy. There is a young couple at this moment no names mentioned who i know, she is a stunner and they do have one child, they have now split up she has a new man and has changed so much in such a short time, she has now tattoos on her body and a could not care less attitude according to all her face book pictures i must add, still nice to look at but not a wife material for me, but it takes all sorts to make the world go around . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Glatt Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Fe and I are 8 years apart (she took me no matter my immaturity) the friends that are near to each other in age are mostly ex servicemen who married there, most of the others are 20+ years apart only a few have been divorced. Just anecdotal but seems to be fewer than most couples. Also assume many have been married more than 10 years by going to children's graduations.

Popular Post Catabisis Posted June 9, 2018 Popular Post Posted June 9, 2018 There is an age difference of 32 years between my girl and I. We have been together 5 happy years. Her father told her that I am a good man to her and if we break up it will be her fault. True story. When she told me the story she looked at me straight in my eyes with a serious look on her face and said, verbatim, " Please don't ever break up with me." I adore her. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clermont Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 A barangay women is a women that has been taught to look after her man, (no bra burning tantrums, ) and she generally is not spoilt by city lifestyle. Her creature comforts are few and far between and she respects the man is in charge of the decision making. They generally come from poorer backgrounds, farms, and smaller settlements. If you're lucky enough to get one you'll see the difference in their attitude to a city women, you being a PI will know what I'm writing about. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that, (twice actually and now on the third LOL ). We did break up and it was admittedly her fault (both times). Oh well. Sometimes they change. Best of luck to ya. Often it works. Depends on both the people involved. Edited June 10, 2018 by Dave Hounddriver 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
