my parents have been married for 47 years and while they have had some great times now just seem to fight bitterly as my dad is overweight and out of shape and very happy to garden and sit by the pool drinking all day. my mom is more gregarious and wants to do things with her friends so their interests do not mesh anymore.

I have never been married and have had only 3 long term(2 years or more) girlfriends over the years. I am now very quick to end a relationship when things go sour as I do not want to be like my parents are now. When I do meet someone I don't care if it will be a farang girl or a TG or a BG from LOS or the Philippines as long as there is a connection(love this term as it means I do not have to explain myself) with her. Do I feel that there will be a stigma on me if I marry a bargirl? Will I be self conscious about the looks that we will get when I am together? Who cares if I am happy being with her and she is happy being with me.

Being 45 my window of opportunity to meet younger farang women is closing rapidly and I definitely like younger women. I am pretty active and like to have fun but am not a big drinker like some of you european lads(but I do pretty well on a good day) but meeting younger women who might be interested in me here in farang land is much harder now.

And just think, if I meet an 18 year old now, she will be only 43 when I am 70 and I will probably die in bed with a great big smile on my face. And even if she was 25 now she would only be 50 then.

And if you never try you will never know if it could have worked out. You just need to realise that it might not work out but it would be great if it did. Getting to know each other and our different cultures would be interestin just by itself.
