⌛ How Are We Perceived Marrying a Young Filipina

DING-DING-DING
Some absolute golden wisdom follows from someone that knows exactly what she's talking about.... Thank you for your input Felisa

 

That's well stated and really true. It seems in a relationship with a big age difference that you are just buying what you cannot in your own country and you know the women here are disadvantaged. I guess it comes down to what is most important. For me it was a women who knew how to cook, take care of children, able to support the family if necessary and most importantly be a great companion for the rest of my life and I have not been disappointed. The good thing is these are qualities found in the majority of Filipino women. Raise your standards, its not a problem.

 

Yes, agree felisa has told it like it is. For what little its worth, my wife has heard heaps of commentary about such couples from cashiers, diners, even friends etc...ONCE that couple is out of earshot. Not that it matters....but there is a fair amount of gas-bagging/ridicule left in their wake....Comes with the territory - and not worth losing a micro-second of sleep over...
Personally I'd find it hard to relate to young lady in her twenties (not that I'd mind trying LOL) ....Been married thirty years and we 'communicate' extremely well. Every day is a new reason for laughs and discussion. I'm happy as a pig in...sh#t. Much agree with felisa and Pedro.

 

Que Sera Sera (what has to be, will be)

 

OH Yes!

:p On this I will agree!

Hello Pato,

Dont think what other say, as long as your with ypour own, people cant help, they just want to talk, we all born free, so dont care, let them look and talk, they'll be fedup.

 

Hello Garbonzo,

Im glad your happy as a pig now, LOL..

As i read your previous post here, you were sounds dissapointed lol talling the story of bout your thai wife who sold your house LOL.
well life is life,
also i read a post of yours about tilapia fish that just eating on front lol, what do you think all fish eat in the ocean? LOL
Well agree, to see is to believe..

goodluck

 

Well try to find a young Asian "wife" or girl friend in the US that has lived in the USA for a few years and and become acclimated to the American cultural....it's not likely to happen. Why should she be with some "over the hill", beer gut, balding "old man" when she can be with a good looking guy closer to her age? And she may just meet a guy that wants more than a maid, a cook and a sex partner to keep himself happy. BUT, this being said, if both people get what they want and both understand the situation.........is it wrong? Great moral/ethical debate which most likely has no winner or loser.

I'm glad someone started this thread as I was wondering the same thing and have/had many of the same feelings as have been offered by the various contributors.......for me, I try to set the age difference no more than 15 years, at least that keeps it within about one generation "gap"........

 

i do agree with Felisa and a bit of Firefly too...
Now, based on my experienced as a filipina wife married to an expat, i had all those cultural differences that our filipino society has.

I am not a teenager but, a 37 yrs old 5'2(physically looks younger) my husband is 55 and 6ft, but still, i had the same experienced that Pato and Crislyn had.
As we know expats have a big economic contribution to the country, they paid taxes, employs workers, follow better rules(traffic rules and etc.), change the life of their wife or mistresses...
i was living abroad for almost 15yrs, and i never get same opinion of age gap! I felt sorry for those envy filipino macho and filipino tsismosa that's why their life stays in same level.
To Pato and Crislyn, your story is different because i feel that yours is a Love Story same as Mine...Good luck in PI, and enjoy life! they're just jealous because u have a beautiful wife inside and out!
