I would never date a WH* girl below the age of 27. By the time they reach 27-28, they pretty much know what they want and one can reasonably expect that they mean business (without some sudden opinion twists and swings in direction).

I never quite manged to figure out what's the equivalent age in Thailand.

Any ideas?

I find your many and uncompromising opinions on the requirements of female compatriate fascinating, but I also have a sense of unreality with it all.

I suppose that I'm not so particular, just very happily married.

I think you have found a real ''stumper'' with this question

Yes, life gets a whole lot more complicated and the choices limited when "in my skin". However, it's my prerogative to be particular and it creates some interesting challenges for me.

On the other hand, this one is of the more sensible requirements, don't you think?

Mine is 39.
Dosen't bitch, whine or moan. No temper tantrums, and no arguments.
When she is mao, she goes to sleep. Pretty calm. No drama at all. It's nice.
I think around 38 to 40 they mellow into being an old age has been.

At least with my experience.

and I can only dream of dating someone under 27. Enjoy it while it lasts...

I was told once that there is a very old Chinese calculation to figure out the ideal age of a woman for a man.

Divide the man's age by 2 and then add 7. So, for example, the ideal age of a woman for a sixty year old man would be 37.

Ohh, these days seem to have passed for me as well (I am 37). The best I can do now is the early 30s. Yeah, I can still get a shot at the mid 20s in Thailand, but I am begining to wonder about the older 30+ category - with which I have no experience.

PS: ... seems you have it sorted out in your backyard

That would leave me with the 25.5 years plus minus age category. They like to go to "disco" too often for my taste and their shopping habits can be only described as - frenzy, insatiable, overboard ....

frenzy, insatiable, overboard ....

"WOMAN"

Try a few,
gosh sounds like I'm talkin' 'bout grocery shopping,
... closer to your age group Lynx. See if it is more to what you want...it would seem that they should know what they want out of life, and what in a partner they want.
Might be more closer to your mental challenge as well. Not as pretty, some, some more...and go to a pub over a disco..
Ah hell, ya know all this crap already.....

Face it my friend...you're getting "old-der" now.
Welkommen to the saggy titty suckers club!

I'm facing, I'm facing - the mornings are horrible

You should use the old chinese adage

half your age plus 7 for the ideal wife


your 30 she is 22

your 40 she is 27

your 50 she is 32

oh dear time to trade her in

TC

so if i wanted to get married at 16 my ideal wife would be 15..not legal in a majority of countries.... Ok in Hawaii,Afghanistan,Iran,Sudan,Jordan and a few select others, but China (prc) is actually 20 for females..so velly old chinese calculation no work velly well. !
incidently in Thailand its 15. (with parental consent) 20 without.

IMO having kids can change their perspectives and mentality.

When I was 41 dated a 36 year old Thai lady, didn't have children. Likes beer, discos and karaoke bars. She would never lose her temper but when she didn't get her own way she threw her toys out of the pram went into a sulk and wouldn't speak for hours and in one case days. Conclusion: Subtract about 20 years to get her mental age.

Dated a 26 y.o with a child, no drama, no bull5hit, didn't drink or smoke and works hard to support the child. She doesn't like clubs/discos as she thinks that is money wasted that could be spent on clothes for her child. Mature beyond her years. Conclusion: Add 20 years.

On that notion: How do Thai kids relate to their morther's farang boyfriend (or husband)?
