Mail order husbands

Why do so many elderly men feel the need to have a younger woman as their partner, to the extent that they will pay large amount of money to travel overseas to find one. On the other hand older single women seem much more self reliant and don't seem feel the need to replace there partner with a younger model.

      I watch the show "90 Day Fiance" It addresses the need to find romantic interests in other countries. Seem like more trouble than it is worth in most cases. I think men like to be taken care of and women, having been the caregivers find a certain freedom in not having to care for anyone but themselves.

        Often it is just because they are lonely and prefer someone that is more tolerant of their ways lol

          Depends how shallow you are. If you're in it for the looks well they'll eventually fade. I think you're more of a person if you look beyond skin deep.

              Maybe it's because many Western women have become bitches the last 10 or so years, so they turn to younger women to have a better partner. Many women in the West want a career without marriage so men are turning to East. I think there are many reasons why older men want younger women, and it is easy to put all the blame on older men when women are part of the problem also.

                i think sm men have always been attracted to younger women- nothing to do with the recent part ten years or so!

              I would go 5 years younger but no more. In my opinion, younger men assume that older woman have money but they are wrong in many cases.

                Because they cannot find an equal in their own countries. Women in their own country don’t want to put up with the shit, demands, and sagging old bodies, yet be expected to be supermodels who are amazing cleaners, and amazing in the sack. Much easier to find someone who is not an equal to control.

                  I think a lot of older men are lonely and these young women need a way out of their povety so they marry.

                      Most young Australian females prefer young men about their own age. Older females have gone through life, most having raised a family, worked, cared for a home and husband or looked after their parents. None of that usually, and I do say usually, men don't do much or any of that. So in other words females can stand on their own feet while men have mostly had things done for them, they can't cope alone so search for a desperate female in a poor country who is looking for a way out. Look out sucker, here I come. And before you all dump on me, it happened in our family. Having got the ring she set out on a world trip, he didn't want to travel, and no-one ever saw or heard from her again until the paperwork arrived for her share of "their" assets. As the old adage goes, there is no fool like an old fool. We still get a laugh all these years later.

                                        So many men have been ripped of by many younger women most women are only after money and a life style what about love?

                                          Men have always wanted younger women to be their partners. Just because he's lost his hair and half his teeth he still thinks he's a great catch. We older women know we look absolutely stupid if we pick a bloke young enough to be our son.

                                                    Maybe they want someone older who is going to die sooner so they can continue their lifestyle in the way they want.

                                                      in some cases yes, but in some cases no. I've seen both ends of the spectrum here - several times. I guess if a marriage/relationship is based on convenience, as long as that's understood by both parties involved, who is anyone to judge? generally speaking, I guess, if an older man is lonely, or finds the pressures of house-holding, (cooking, cleaning etc), too much to handle, and a younger lass is happy to do this for him, in exchange for a better standard of living say, then, have at it! As long as its all above-ground, and no one is being abused, physically/mentally or financially.

The old double standard! I don't give a crap about money or material things. It's all about not being alone and having someone to support you emotionally. I have my own money and don't need theirs.

To me for the women it's away of getting into the country as all three have stayed with their older men and once the time allocated for them to be able to stay (they must stay married for so long) & not be deported they file for divorce. I know some are happy marriages but an awful lot aren't.

I am younger than my husband and I keep telling him your only as old as the woman you feel, in which he laughs. Seriously if that's what they want and they aren't hurting any one than okay but I do question the ages of some of these girls. Don't agree if they leave a family to do this and it is riff in places like Bali and Thailand. Some girls do this so they can leave and move to a better country, provide for their parents and other siblings sending them money when they can. I get all of that but no I wouldn't want to be one of them as they can suffer terrible abuse and are made to do things they necessarily don't want too do all in the name of marriage that they have chosen to do.

Most of my female friends have husbands who are younger than them. Others have chosen to remain single. For many of them this is the only wife or husband they have ever had. My wife is 25 years younger than me. We have been together for 21 years. However none of these are "mail order". I met my wife while working in Sulawesi. Most of my mail friends worked on oil rigs and lived in Asia so met their partners while working in those areas. These are the guys who still earn $70,000 US per month and their company pays for their flights. A flight from Perth to Bali was around $500 pre Covid so is a long way from the large amount of money mentioned in the question.

I think the "older women" may be all "washed out" in a figure of speaking, and are happy to hand over their sons and daughters on to the younger set and are definitely NOT looking to do more washing and cooking etc etc when they have "served their time" and want to enjoy life without strife!

Having seen a number of these old men with their young wives none of them look happy - in fact they look downright miserable. Something I have never understood about so many women/men is that they have this "need" to always have a man/woman in their lives and they seem to change them on a regular basis. Is this because they live in some sort of world in which the grass is always greener on the other side of the road. I had a partner for 30 years until death came along and whilst we had a lot of fun, and ups and downs too, I have no desire to go through it all again.
