Poll: What's the ideal relationship age difference?
I'm wondering what you guys think is the ideal age difference in a relationship between a Western man and a Cambodian woman. When I say "ideal" I mean ideal from the perspective of the man.
When I started posting on this site ten years ago, I would post about looking for a 22 year-old wife or girlfriend. Back then, I was in my early to mid 30's, so that would have been about a ten year age difference. Those same women who were 22 at the time are now 30 or older, and I'm torn as to whether I should be pursuing 30 year olds now or still pursuing 22 year olds.
Part of the reason why Western men here get involved with local women is because they can leverage their financial superiority to get a younger and more beautiful woman here than they can back home. If that's the goal, I guess you should always go as young as possible.
Guys who are involved with Cambodian women who are the same age as they are will probably say they have more in common with their partners. I don't know if that's true, I really don't feel like I have more in common with a 32 year old Cambodian woman vs. a 22 year old.
There are other considerations. Face, of course. When I see an older guy with an attractive Asian woman who is 15-20 years younger, I often think, "Good for him." When I see one with a woman who is 25-40 years younger, I think, "Loser with gold-digger."
Then there's the sex angle. When I'm 55, do I want to be married to a 50 year old Cambodian hag when all my friends are dating or having sex with 25 year olds? Probably not. But when I'm 55 will I want to be having sex 3-5 times a week with a 25 year old wife or girlfriend? God no. That sounds exhausting even now.
I think about 15 years may be the ideal age difference, as she'll still undoubtedly be more attractive than you are, but you won't look stupid together or be from totally different generations. Feel free to offer your opinions or vote in the poll.

I guess in my eyes the age difference, whatever you believe to be ideal, shouldn't change just because the woman is Cambodian. I mean, I know we see big age gaps in couples here in SE Asia, but that doesn't make it any less , IMO, disgusting, than back home.gavinmac wrote:I'm wondering what you guys think is the ideal age difference in a relationship between a Western man and a Cambodian woman.

To each their own as long as all parties are not naive about what is really going on, but this seems to rarely be the case when you see a 55 year old + man with a girl young enough to be his daughter
I am 28 and my fiance is 27. She is Cambodian.
In general, I think the closer to the same age the better as you will have a higher probability of having things in common.
Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.

Money, face, sex - you're missing a key consideration here.
Not many Cambodian women make it to their 30s without having been married, and quite likely having a child/children. How do you fancy being a step-dad?

I came, I argued, I'm out
I'm not sure what this poll will show. Doesn't one's view about ideal age difference depend causally on one's own age?
A 70 year old voting for 30 years is one thing. A 40 year old voting for the same difference is a whole different story. As I understand it, quite a few members are around 30-35, so you'd naturally expect a figure around 5-10 years. But that means nothing to a 60 year old member.

There may be 40 year olds who vote for the 30+ year option because their plan is to screw around for 15 years and then settle down at age 55 with a 25 year old. As one does.

I think the answers to this poll will be more a reflection of age of voters. There aren't going to be many 60 year old's voting for 5-10 years.
I'm 38, my wife is 24. Before meeting my wife I would have voted 5-10 years, but I've upped my vote to 10-15 now. For an older guy 15-25 years is ok.......as long as he is leaving her something to live off when he croaks.

Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
BTW, I reckon a young woman marrying an older man is probably a gold digger, and he's probably looking for a pair of firm breasts, a nice backside and strong legs......so who's to argue? Hopefully they both get what they want in the long run.
(A real gold digger would prefer older I guess, so she has increased chances of giving him a heart ache once she has the money in the bank.)

I would say 5-10 years. I'm coming up to 60. However, as even an idiot knows, what we plan for does not take life into account and random meetings. I assume the OP is looking for some sort of guideline; forget it, when you meet her, all logic goes out the window.scobienz wrote:I'm not sure what this poll will show.

For what it's worth, I voted 15-20 years myself. This means I should be looking in the 22-27 range.

Half your age + 7 is the rule I've heard banded around, thus:
He's 20 = she's under age
He's 30 = she's 22
He's 40 = she's 27
He's 50 = she's 32
He's 60 = she's illegal
He's 20 = she's under age
He's 30 = she's 22
He's 40 = she's 27
He's 50 = she's 32
He's 60 = she's illegal

For more "mature" males to go after younger girls is normal however when it gets to be more than 15 years difference there is a big maturity difference that you have to tolerate as a man. She is going to argue about stupid things, want to watch immature shows on TV, play games, and generally act like a young child which most older man probably don't want to deal with in an ideal situation. So while you are getting a more sexually fertile woman with all of the accompanying attributes, mentally it's going to be an issue you will have to deal with which could be equally as bad as the converse - an older lady with more mental maturity but "depreciating ass"ets.
