that's poll, not pole. stay outta strip clubs!

[almaty 19]

wow, so disappointed

[Nessa 23]

my thoughts on it, men are way less mature than women by nature. therefore, if the man is years older he'll probably be only a bit more mature than his wife. no comments on the other way around.

I was out in the Trafford Centre last night (big shopping mall in Manchester, UK) having drinks with friends when we saw a couple...he was at least 65 & she was easily 20 years old! She was from the far east..

To say they didnt attract a lot of attention is an understatement! She was all over him.

What I'm trying to say is...I believe in whatever makes you happy! ...y'know, just go for it & be happy! BUT I couldn't help but think..this guy is being taken for a mug! She can't possibly find him attractive!! ..Seriously though I've read lots on her about age differences & I can believe that yeh 10, 20 years is believable but 40 years???? Nahhhh

Is she hoping he dies soon so he leaves all of his money to her? I'm sure everyone was thinking the same thing.

Wot do you thin? Should this guy enjoy his senior years being conned? Or is it really lurve??

I have read this thread a few times and the blood is about squirting from my eyes, so I will answer. How do I do this?

See, some men prefer younger women, some women prefer older men. If they are both over 18 I make no judgement, in fact as an American, I DEMAND my right to be seduced and swindled by sexy hot foreign babes! If I am so silly to do so then let me die with a smile on my face and young Russian sweetie on my lap. (and I say this in the knowledge my wife has input on this, but not YOU and NOT the government). And for the record, my wife is 12 years younger and I really don't care if anyone, except her, approves.

Were I to post the same drivel and make judgements about couples on this site that are of mixed race, the woman older than men, expressed a preference for a religious belief I can be assured I would get a TOS warning at minimum. But because you bash an old man for choosing a young wifey, all is OK.

Where I come from there is such a thing called freedom of speech? Can't I express an opinion if I so wish?

I should be 'warned' for expressing my views? Ridiculous!! Where are MY rights? There'll be a point one day when no one will be allowed to comment on issues for fear of beind politcally incorrect!

Newspapers & magazines are full of topics which are considered to be no-ones business such as this & they sell millions every day.

To say that this particular couple were consenting adults is also a matter of opinion, She was very young indeed & that was my point!

But then I suppose its not just far eastern & western marriages that have huge age gaps. I seem to remember one particular young lady called Anna Nicole Smith who was married to a very old & very rich tycoon. This was no-ones business either but I don't remember the American press being'warned' about their media coverage..and of course that WAS true love! But then I daren't comment on that either!

Whats the problem MonkeyJuice? You got to start the thread and express your opinion, no one stopped you, you have your freedom! No one closed the thread. I wish we got this many replies to questions regarding real visa questions.

There seem to be strong opinions both ways and they are being expressed (some may be getting a little personal though, don't you think?).

As for the couple you saw, if you really felt they weren't consenting adults, you should have gone up to them and given them a piece of your mind, called a policeman or made a citizens arrest. After all, it is your business, not just theirs. Many of these Asian ladies look 10-15 years younger then they really are, you don't seem to be aware of this or used to it.

So that couple raised a few eyebrows when they walked by. I will bet that most men that saw them, secretly wished that they could be with that lady. Unless you spoke with them and got to know them, you will never know if she was fleecing him or a good lady, will you? Your western up bringing (values) has taught you that this is unnatural and wrong to see this couple together ..wrong wrong wrong, right? What about in this Asian ladies culture, is it accepted in her culture? Maybe, but you will never know. The western way is the only way of thinking, only our religions are good, political views, etc. right? Lets try to be a little open minded about this.

Have to agree, the press likes to sensationalize, after all it does sell (don't believe half of what they say though). Anna Nichol is one example of a real gold digger, former built up dancer and there are foreign brides like this also. Not every case is like that though, or is it in your mind?

We have less strict guidelines when it comes to the Off Topic discussion area but I am keeping an eye on this thread. I think we can all verbalize our opinions without being offensive.

For the record, the discussions you mentioned come up quite frequently actually and they have the same reaction and moderation.

Middle eastern? In no particular order, Philippine, Brazilian, Russian, Vietnamese and Korean young ladies take the market on seeking green cards by old farts. But these old farts know this, come on. The old farts look to these countries for their little girl token brides. Viagra baby!

lmao@ brazilian. where did you get that information? i dare you to provide statistics to prove that. and what is considered old farts? i've always dated older guys, my first bf i was 16 and he was 24, and so on from there, and i never considered any of them old farts.

Oh, you know that you're just using Charles for a green card....

The more I read the sh!t posted in here (even though I know I shouldn't), the madder I get. What a bunch of judgemental, bitter, self-righteous, STUPID f##ktards there are, even here on VJ. Almost everyone on this forum has gone against tradition in one way or another, whether it's race, language, religion, culture, age, or all of the above. "Dirty Old Men" are easy prey, I guess. What about the women who are 20 years older than their husbands? Why aren't people outraged about that? Why aren't the husbands "little boy token grooms"? And the anger about American men picking out a foreign bride based upon her age and looks..... Hello? American culture isn't the only culture on the planet, and that IS how some brides are chosen. Men who want a "wife" in the traditional sense rather than a partner are certainly free to search for such overseas. And they'll find what they're looking for. "Our" ideas of marriage aren't universal, ya know. You'd think people on a visa message board would understand that.

So, all of you people judging others' marriages based on their age difference, go f##k yourselves. Seriously.

Do you and Mags have kids, Platy? Specifically daughters? It's just that if any middle aged creep ever came anywhere either of my two girls, then that individual would not walk for a very long time and would consume his meals through a straw.

Not having a go at you fella, just presenting another side to the argument.

We each have a son. Mine is 20, hers (my step-son) is 15.

If my daughters (if I had any) were 18, then it would be their choice, not mine. Just as I won't force any religion on my son or step-son, I wouldn't force my personal ideas about marriage on my fictional daughters, either. I may not like it, but at 18, it's their choice to make, not mine. I'm sure I would, however, caution them to think about it for a while before they decided....

Sigh..

I see this thread has grown to 10 plus pages..

I've been ignoring it but I thought I'd add another post..

All this talk about "I'm just expessing my opinion" or "free speech" simply means that that you are a bigot and have found a forum that unfortunately keeps the bigotry alive on a seemingly weekly basis.

If it is someones opinion that Jews, Christians or Muslims should not marry outside of their faith there would be universal condemnation here. Also should you be gay, transgendered or whatever any derisive comment on that would not be tolerated. If you are black, brown, yellow or pink and you came here and said how can they be happy, it will never last ect your comments would not be welcome.

But this place is a refuge for the ignorant and stupid when it comes to age differences. Which is to bad because in my opinion a forum that tolerates bigots are bigots themselves and is not the venue I can neither suipport nor continue to contrubute to.
