my father and mother has 20 years gap. me and my fiance have an 18 years gap but never been an issue for us. he never send me money nor i ask for any coz im sensitive not for him to think thats what i want from him. his friends and relatives adviced him for a prenup agreement and im willing to sign it. no problem.

he never send me flowers nor chocolates for he said he wanted me to love him not for the flowers nor the chocolates that he gonna give me. he doesn't have pc nor a hightech phone. but im resourceful enough to find ways for us to communicate. Free Magic jack account, globe US super direct, gmail free call to phone, etc.. we talk on the phone almost 5 hours per day and whole day on weekends.

by all these, my fiance knows i love him.

if your young gf do efforts for you and never ask for something in return i believe she loves you for who you are and doesnt mind the age.

GOD BLESS YOUR HEART

why the highlight: Don't you really think that age is a factor of compatibility? think..again think ..ponder

Challenge: If you guys believes that young girls marrying old man is a COMMON THING in my country..then why is it that you only see these cases with foreigner men? I am a filipino and hey people THAT'S NOT COMMON HERE . Sorry! Just telling the truth! Anyone who contest me on this can give me statistics of young girls/women married old filipino men!

I have to agree with u 1000 percent unless the filipino guy has money filipina's do not want him u never see it but they all think forigners are rich so ya age does not matter untell years late when the girl gets all she can and than she moves on to a guy her own age have seen it so many times

I do not think the age difference really matters if both parties are on the same page.

I petitioned my first wife with her three kids, thought I was doing a good thing by not letting the kids scare me away. When they got here I accepted total responsiblity of the kids, I put them in Karate, boy scouts, etc... However, my wife did not appreciate this and constantly did things out of spite to hurt me (making bank account negative,not saying I love you).. After 5 years we got a divorce, and I found another pinay who i think is the perfect match for me, Ive petitioned her and am awaiting NOA2.

The things I discovered was.

Management style of money is very important, one party cannot be one who sticks to a budget while the other one spends everything they can. This will not work....

It is best not to get involved with someone who already has kids and been married they will have scars, my x wife was very bitter.

It is best to be from the same church denomination.

Finally, do not petition a woman with kids thinking you are being a hero, when its said and done all that you have done will mean nothing

TO sum it up, make sure that you really know your partner, and MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE SAME PAGE...

Everyone is different on preference about soulmate or whatever it is we called for. For example, my preference is that I would not going to marry someone who as older as my father that we have 26 years difference gap. My fiance has preference not dated a girl with more than 15 years age gap.. So we are match. But, of course our preference can't be use and apply to others relationship preference.

Most important, age does not matter as long as you are both can get a long each other. My fiance told me, most important we have good communication and interest that we can match. You don't have to like all for what your partner likes but at least there is something to talk and discuss about. We can talk many hours for different topics from various things like politic, music, songs, astronomy, etc.etc. I can keep up even we have age gap and he does as well.

I was reading somewhere on VJ that there is a husband back from work and his wife watching Hannah Montana. His wife 21 year old and he is 47 year old. The marriage only last a month, if I don't make mistake to recalls the story.

I mean AGAIN age does not matter as long as both of you enjoy to create blisfull relationship. Someone can have very big problem with their age difference but look at Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. They are both happy even he is 25 years senior than her.

I think marriage is not like we just being together for short time. This is for the rest of life. No matter how beautiful or handsome or younger your partners are but when you can't have good communication the relationship would going to doom.Those physhical things easy to fade away and only good heart would stay forever.

I only say, you can ask your heart about it because heart never lies. Good luck,

I like Catherine Zeta Jones... She's the beast! hahaha j/k

A woman may be younger than the man. But. the head of a woman, will always be older. A woman ages earlier, the man.

[Solwalt 2]

May Be The younger woman than the man. But. the head of a woman, will always beolder. A woman ages Earlier, the man. No matter how old she is. Make yourself comfortable. After all, teams have changed.Compatibility Between the two is wha tmatters. Good Luck !

I stayed in the hotel for 3 months when I was with my fiance so as on the beach. I've seen a lot of not only older American guys but also Europeans, some around their 30-40's too coming in the Philippines to meet a very young woman around 18-25 they met online and it's not just one! They got a back up just in case their first choice didn't work. In a Philippine culture, that's totally unacceptable even on just being bf and gf stage.

Just watch out for the signs of gold digging and emotional instability. If you can, choose girls that are educated and manage to feed themselves before you came along. Filipino girls do not ask money directly but all you hear are the sobbing stories that the even SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE writers can't even handle. If you start providing rice subsidy, milk allowance (for the nephew and nieces) and educational assistance for everyone at the very early stage of the relationship, walk away..FAST.

Ok, I'm going to see if I can offend everyone in one post...

All men everywhere will do stupid things for pretty girls. This character flaw isn't exclusive to American men. However, most American men are not as gullible as many Filipinas seem to think they are. In many cases, these guys know darn well that these girls don't really love them. He might only want a sex toy who will treat him like she loves him for a few years. Most of the time, they're just hoping she hangs around and plays nice until he either dies or gets tired of her. Many times these guys go into these relationships knowing that it isn't going to last more than a few years. The sad truth is that many East Asian and Pacific Island girls don't age very well. They're adorable when they're young, but start to deteriorate rapidly when they hit their mid 20's.

...Jim ducks while the Filipinas start throwing kitchen utensils at him...

This isn't really any different from rich old men in the US who marry young trophy wives. These guys know that these girls marry them for their money. As long as the girl acts like his wife then they're generally ok with that. If she does anything to humiliate him, like fooling around on the side, then the relationship is over.

A lot of the men who go to the Philippines are average looking older men with average incomes. These guys wouldn't have a prayer of getting a young trophy wife in the US, but it doesn't take nearly as much to get a young wife in a poor country. There are several reasons this happens a lot in the Philippines. For one thing, the country has a long and sordid history of sex tourism, like many Southeast Asian countries. For another, there's no strong cultural aversion in the Philippines to older men marrying younger women, especially when there's a financial advantage for the bride.

Obviously, the above doesn't apply to everyone. There are many many relationships which are genuine and sincere on both sides. I'm just saying that not all of the guys who are getting played are totally unaware of it. In many cases, they're playing each other.

Yeah sometimes I do think they do play each other! Not only in Philippines, in any country.....

I think the biggest factor may be your partners integrity and self respect, get to know them inside and out. If you want to know someone, also observe the family they come from, this goes for the man or the woman. A snake is a snake from the day they are born till the day they die.

THEIR PRE_NUP READS:

Catherine will be entitled with $2.8 million for every year she's married to Michael Douglas. If she's able to prove he cheated on her, she's entitled to a one-time $5 million.

I don't know if my fiance has millions but I want to get his Ford Car, his 2 door fridge and the 2 black comforters we bought in SM Mall

:lol: IMAO

[SuperDuper! 230]

If it's a difference of say 10 yrs .. I don't think it should be an issue.

However, if you are like 50yrs and she's 25yrs.. That's pretty much gonna raise red flags, guaranteed.

Why are you so sure about this. Have you even been to the Philippines or known a mature man with a young bride?
