if i was 30+, i wouldn't want some 18-24 year old girl for a wife.
we wouldn't have anything in common. we wouldn't be able to make any emotional connections 'cause we'd be so different from each other.
and i'd know my wife would fantasize everyday about having some boy her own age. she could never be truly satisfied with me.

This will be the norm in a lot of overseas Chinese communities. The white men steal our women, so the Chinese brother earns more money and by the time he is near 40, he goes to China to find a younger wife.

now that i think about, i have seen a lot of this kind of couple. usually shopping at costco.
some old @$$ asian guy with a really young asian woman. and he's always clinging on her, like she some toddler who might easily get separated and lost.
what's up with the clinging? are the men scared the women will immediately run off and have an affair if they take their eyes of them for even a moment?

Heck no.
People always say age is unimportant in love. Bull$hits. You can't possibly be in love with someone your dad's age. Eww. It's all money that the girl is after.
10 years apart is okay. 15 years apart maybe tolerable. but 20 years apart? Heck no.

You must not have traveled a lot. Most overseas Asian communities still mainly date their own and marry and such. Sometimes too insular I feel.

This reminds me of the Hugh Heftner (85yrs) and his ex to be bride Crystal Harris (25yrs) cancelled marriage debacle we hear on the news lately.

Nope. I'm not narrow-minded. I'm just not being a hypocrite like some people out there who attach cheesy phony $hits to love ("love has boundary, it goes beyond age" blah blah...) when in actuality they just marry for money or some sort of economic reason. It's possible to fall in love with older guys, but it's not possible to fall in love with someone who is your father's age. I was not commenting on your picture. I was commenting on the scenario in general.
Btw that's an Ami Filipina with a Japanese/Korean man, right?

unless that guy is prince.

i'm a hetero 24-year-old dude and i'd marry him. out of love.

The Asian guy doesn't look that much older.
I agree with XigonCongchua. You can't really have a meaningful relationship with someone so much older than you. What the hell would you talk about? Arguing over which decade has better music?

The girl looks older than 19, maybe mid to late 20s.
The guy doesn't look like he's in his 40s yet... but that's just me.
I know a few relationships like that. I kind of worry for the guy. What if his wife betrays him one day for a better looking younger guy?
I would never date an old guy, unless he doesn't look that old, but I will date younger guys

. Half the guys I know that like me a lot are not just a year younger but several years younger (nothing pass 5 years younger so far). I don't know how I should really feel about that..

Some young girl may marry some rich old guy and feed him high-sugar, high-cholesterol diets every day so he'd die soon from diabete or high blood pressure and she can get the inheritance

Most women do put economic situation into account when choosing marraige
how many people u know whant to marry a bum/homesless person??
Maybe you think so ..since that is probably a viet mentality?? every culture is different and have their own set of norms

Jun 28 2011, 01:08 PM
Ejay, why are you attacking my people and my culture again? You asked for opinion. I stated it. Why did you have to twist it to something against Vietnamese? Don't think people don't know what you're doing there

If you got problem with people's opinions, then don't ask for one, don't ask "what do you guys think of [enter whatevah]". You obviously have your mind made up. Hence you're just here to promote young Filipina brides with old Japanese/Korean men. You're not really here to ask for people's opinions about couples with huge age gaps.
Funny because others have said similar things (AsiaticGlory and samnang) but you got no problem with them.
