Life Dating & Relationships

Hi all,

The most common thing here in Taiwan is to see foreigners guys with a local girlfriend at least 2 or 4 years younger than them. Very usual here.

I was wondering if any of you have an older taiwanese girlfriend ?

I am 22, my gf is 26. Despite sometimes she reproaches me to be a little bit childish, everything goes well between us. Oh, and liek most Taiwanese girls, she looks younger than her real age.
I mean she is 26 but she looks 20.

Do any of you is in this situation ?

I fee a little bit “strange” as most of time it’s the contrary that happens (older man with younger taiwanese girl). Do you care ?

I am not asking this question because I care, I am asking because I am curious. Looks like I am the only one in Taiwan in this case lol :slight_smile:

Take care, and thanks for the time you took for answerig me.

Cheers !

MY first GF was 22, nearly 23 and I was only 17 at the time. Great times!! Had another GF who was 24 when I was 20. Great times then too. NO worries. Enjoy!

(now my current GF is also in her twenties while I am NOT).

You might get accustomed to 20 something girls for the rest of your life is the only problem.

My wife is a year older than me, and she isn’t very happy about it. But every woman I’ve ever dated has been older than me, for reasons I don’t try to understand.

I have a wife who is ten years older. I find Taiwanese can generally mature very late and girls my own never seemed to show enough experience and would seem quite immature at times. I got tired of it and eventually ell in love with a mature, older woman. I never had to talk lots of fluff and do too much unnecessary running around for my wife and we gelled perfectly. Still do, seven or so years later (lost count already).

MY younger half brother only likes ladys at least 7 years older. His first wife was 30something when he was 20 something. And now his second wife is 8 years older but share the same bday . He always likes em older (maybe because they appreciate him more).

Woow !

Anyway, for me the most important is to be happy in the relationship.

Just that sometimes, as I said, the girl might be more “adult” (in her mind) than the boy. My gf is much more mature than me !

I once had a girlfriend who was 46 years older than me. How stuff man.

bob please tell me more. There’s a woman in my neighborhood that I’ve been chatting with and I really feel like we’ve made a connection but I’m not really sure how to approach the situation. She’s not 46 years older than me but at least 20 I’d say.

Approach the situation very carefully. At that age they start getting brittle bone structures and are likely to break if you try bending them over or spinning them around. Other than that they are just like younger women except with more money.

in your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones… And as in the Dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of Corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal and frequently superior; every Knack being by Practice capable by improvement.

I seem to attract older women more than younger women.
Granted I’m in my mid-twenties, so this has a forbidden aspect to it.
My last girlfriend was 12 years older than me.
Oldest woman that I remember who was hitting on me was a friend of mine, not bad looking but 20 years older than me.

The thing about older women is they are flattered that you’re not immediately trying to sleep with them. Also, cater to their romantic side and get to know her better. They tend to have more children and a lot more baggage, so tread carefully.

TLDR: Nothing wrong with older women, just be careful.

The Tiger Club. Yeeaaaooorrr!

My wife is a year and half older than me but i feel that is more suitable.

I did dated younger people but i find older is more suitable

16

The younger ladies tend to be more approachable and willing to say hi…thats what I have found. Maybe it’s the areas I hang out in, I dont know.
The older ladies prefer to be approached in my experience and are less likely to be groupies… :loco:

Why does that merit a :loco: ? What’s wrong with a woman having standards?

I can never score with a lady who has standards.

The reason why I came to Taiwan was 23 years old, and I was 18, when we started. When we broke up I was 25 and she was 30.
It was fine for the first 4 years, until her family got involved. They were traditional, southern buddhist, had money and the age difference didn’t go down too well with them. I felt a difference indeed appeared when she went back to TW and started working. I pedaled faster to keep track and level up. That wasn’t a bad experience at all as far as I’m concerned (I always love a good challenge), but the family was still hoping I’d behave and be the bf she “should” have, meaning 5 years older with a job and quite a bit of dough.

At some point later, I was dating an ex-model who turned 34 as I was 25. That felt alright since she was clearly in it for the sex and not much else.

For a few months I also courted a 31y old TV presenter who proved to be too tough a cookie for me. Seems like I had a tiny fighting chance, but ultimately couldn’t compete with that actor she was already “seeing” :ohreally:

My 40+ vice-president also made some moves in my direction. Although I admire her knack and achievements, that was clearly not gonna happen :no-no:

Since that I got in a really nice relationship with a girl who is actually younger than me, by 3 years. That’s the first time ever I’m with somebody younger and she clearly is worth it. She is really gorgeous, smart, and open-minded. I suspect that to get a girl of that level, you have to get them young (only the TV presenter was of that caliber).

What I’m trying to expose here is the importance of “providing” for girls in TW. Overall, an asian family will first look at a girl’s bf as a “provider”, it clearly is their first test. And girls repeat the process. You need to be dependable, with a good education, good family, a nice job… and to be older so that you can “guide” her through life.
This is the traditional Taiwanese social contract. Guy brings experience, money and guidance, girl brings youth, caring and loveliness.
It just is a problem for western guys who actually prefer to have somebody “equal” to them. Hence going for older women.

If for any reason Taiwanese girls start thinking that they are out of that social contract, that marriage game, things like age difference stop mattering.

My wife is 4 yrs older than me. No one ever batted an eye. Probably because we look the same age.
