    The truth about large age gaps is that everyone has an opinion on them - and they all have something to say about it! Large age gaps are very common in the Philippines, and it's hard to walk more than a few steps without seeing an older man with a much younger Filipina. But what's the truth? Are they for real? Do they last? Let's have a serious talk ...

    My hubby is 25 years older than me, I was 27 when we met and we've been together 10 years. People were upset at first but now they realise I wanted a man with what are considered old school morals and manners. He wanted someone who hadn't slept around and didn't have children, we just work. It's about respect and love.

      *"He wanted someone who hadn't slept around"* This was literally why early young marriages of women was a necessity for couples and society. Now a good man will only in a small percentage of cases, find a chaste woman to commit to.
      Either way, I wish you and your husband a united marriage till death.

    My wife and I had a 20+ year age gap. I really didn't bother me that she was older than I. As her health declined, I was blessed to be her caregiver and dialysis nurse. One time a woman told her in a thick German accent,"Oh, you got a young one!" Up until about two weeks before my wife got her promotion to heaven, we still joked about all of the amazing times we had. There are absolutely no regrets, only happy memories of my best friend. Go to now, I'm seeing a wonderful Filipina. She and I have 31 years between us. I see the love she has for me. Especially when things are not going so great and she puts herself right beside me. Heck, the gal is teaching me Bisaya and Tagalog. I have a unique perspective on age gaps having been on both sides of it. Folks need to not concern themselves with when others have to say about it. Just do it. As far as how much age gap is too much. That's up to the two adults. It's nobody else's business. Pea, Salamat sa tanan nimong gibuhat para mahatagan mig panabot sa kulturang Pilipino.

      K Morris, wow. That got a tear out of me . I am currently married to an older woman myself and not in the market but I do love listening to Pea. She is wise beyond her years and has a savage sense of humor (my wife has none LOL). I have a friendship with a much younger woman (33 years) that is almost a soul mate. We share the same humor, she is unbelievably intelligent and loves animals, she actually gets almost every cultural reference from my generation. She speaks several languages as well, all wrapped up in a package of a very attractive young woman. I have never ventured to think about a romantic relationship(I don’t even know if she considers me attractive LOL), but I imagine that here in the U.S. even our friendship is verboten. If I can find this kind of compatibility in this country I imagine it’s possible anywhere although I think we are way outside the norm. Cheers.
      An acquaintance of mine is 70 and never married, he was in the Philippines a few years ago (not for romance actually) and had 2 suitors. One was 30 something and one was 18. He ran from both. He felt he had nothing in common with the 18 year old and felt the 30 something was too “controlling”. He says he still wants kids…..but wants to marry a woman in the U.S. (obviously young enough to have kids). I think he will die alone (he isn’t rich so good luck with finding anything here).

    I am glad you took the time to explain this topic so well. I found my beautiful filipina when I was 46 and she was 21, by the time I got her to the USA and married she was almost 23 and I was 47, so I was more than twice her age and nearly 25 years older. Many said she was just after my money and would leave me, but 23 years later we are still together and she has gone back to school and has a great job as a teacher and helps with the bills. We love each other very much and are very compatible. I could go on and on about why I did not marry an older woman, but suffice to say, most women that were closer to my age came with x-husbands, kids and a lot of baggage. If I had to start over after a divorce, I wanted a fresh start. This marriage has worked out well for both of us and I would do it all over again.

      But u never see young Filipina with much older filipino men, ( 30-40 yrs+) yet a common sight with foreigners, so it is about money, a better future and the opportunity to live abroad given theres NO future for most philippinos there. Given 95% of filipina marry filipino and half of all filipinas who marry foreigners fail once abroad, it sure isnt about love for most of them. And filipina can be very controlling and violent even when they cant adapt to living in West. Course by then they know if the divorce their better off anyway.

    You hit the nail right on the head again Pea❤️. When I met my Filipina wife I was 62 and she was 27. I moved here and we married. We live in Cebu in the province on a tiny pension less than the average Filipino families all around us. She obviously never married me for my money or my young age. She is madly in love with me and I am madly in love with her, almost 4 years married now. The stereotypes are simply foolish.

    Pea, outstanding vlog! This hits home with me as my Colombian gf and I have an almost 40 yr age gap. I met her online and we instantly clicked. She is not from a poor background, has a good job and her own money. She has never asked me for money in the 6 months we've been together. We both love music, travel, dancing, and animals. We never run out of conversation and she has told me that my age means nothing to her. She enjoys my company and the way I treat her with respect. She says that is something lacking in the male population in Colombia. (treating women with respect and as equals) We have spent roughly 8 weeks together in person during the last 6 months. So, I would say our only problem is the distance gap, not the age gap. Anyway, my point is if we are happy with each other and we're not hurting anyone why would anyone else care about our gap? Live and let live.

    Thanks for this timely video, as far as I'M concerned! I recently lowered my age limit to below 45 and started an LDR with a Filipina who is 23 years my junior. The problem with dealing any woman over 50 has been exactly what you stated. The conversations are very limited and she is set in her ways and routine. I actually married a Jamaican-British woman when we were both 50 years old. She was so settled and set in her ways that she never adjusted to being in the United States. Six years into the marriage, she went home for a visit with no game plan on returning. After our 10th anniversary, are divorce was finalized as an annulment, completed online cuz she still had not returned! She was more comfortable at home, she kept repeating to me. Local 50 plus women are just as settled and all women in the older age range have become more comfortable being alone and enjoying all of the material things that they worked hard to acquire. If they do want to combine two households into one, they want the man to have as much as they do, and more. Yes we are perverts to a woman over 50 because she may have experienced menopause and may have a reduced libido, if she wants sex at all!
    Our cultural differences between the East and the West make the age a good proposition. Never mind the haters (western women) , because they don't want an older man in the first place! Western men haters are just envious because they are stuck in a marriage and misery loves company!

      I can't agree! My LDR OFW Filipina is over 50 (as am I) with just under a 3-year age gap between us. But the difference is she has lived outside of her home country for close to 20 years and has worked in four countries. That international perspective is extremely important to me as I also lived more than 20 years outside of my native country. And being close to age greatly helps us have things culturally similar in terms of music and film.

    Hey Pea,
    I am an American 56 years young. I have to add a few thoughts on your subject. First of I do not consider myself a looser who couldn't get a woman back home. I was actually considered a goof catch. Being a good catch and being married once left me having to work 60 to 70 hours a week and my little free time I had was time spent with my kids. As they got older I wanted to take a trip by myself to take a break from the madness. The Phillipines is where I ended up going. My trip was more about sight seeing volcanoes being an intrest of mine. Getting married again was never a thought. Until!!
    I basically did everything that you suggest not to. Researching the Philippines and planning my trip I thought some companionship would be nice. I was always attracted to younger women but by a small age gap. I was searching the date sights to see if I could find a friend to enjoy my trip. I did not fall for any scams or try to lure women I knew money would only cause more problems.
    When I Met Christine online, I thought what a beautiful young woman but her age made me cautious. I was stunned at her maturity and we get along because I may ne a little immature.i sent money to secure lodging and to my surprise she wanted to send back the change. Right there I knew she was not looking to dig for gold.
    I am trying to keep this short so we hit it off and I brought her to the states to see how 90 days on a visa would go. We ended up staying together and getting married. We just celebrated our 5th anniversary and are now planing to retire to Cebu this Spring. Things with us couldn't be any better, as far as a fire burning between us, I almost have to beg for a break as 5 years gone by and it seems we are still on a honeymoon.
    My point though this is, you never know where love will find you. For all those who lift thier noses in disgust they are the ones with a hidden problem. They need to join the rest of the world and mind thier own buisness.

    I would like to share my story Pea. I hope it has some weight on this topic. And actually, this very video was part of my story. I am a 68 year old American male. I broke up with an amazingly beautiful woman last year after about a 20 year relationship. I add her beauty because I think it adds to the story. I had naturally been out of action for the last 20 years but had an occasional younger woman interested in me. I never reciprocated. So I didn't think there would be too much problem finding someone. I was in for the shock of my life. I tried 2 dating sites thinking that would speed up the process. It turns out that the only thing it sped up was the realization that putting the big 68 down of my age was essentially the same as saying I was a contagious leper. I was absolutely shocked at the lack of response from women around 58-68 years of age. Some might visit, which I would thank them politely for doing, but could rarely get them to even text. And the ones that did text? Well let me say that when I saw those, I thought my old college buddies had infiltrated my profile and were playing a joke on me. It was that bad. At one point, i got so frustrated and angry that I changed my age to 58 to see what would happen (I am quite fit and take good care of myself and have always been told that I look younger than my age). I immediately got 2 beautiful women about 58 responding and texting me. Point proven. The problem was that I couldn't ethically follow up because then I would be living a lie. Lets just say they were not happy with me. I have a friend who married a Chinese woman that began online that the jury is still is out on how that relationship is going to end. We talked about Thai women and Filipina women. I wanted a relationship with a woman and someone I could communicate with. That meant Filipina women. I started looking at your videos Pea. This very video really impacted on me. I realized that I had somewhat bought into the western women's view that I too was now a throw away despite having attractive women in the past. I was depressed. That you took such vigorous exception to this was a real eye opener to me. So I decided to take the plunge. I enrolled in a Filipina online dating website. Pea, what then happened may be one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I had not even gotten my profile completed when I was literally being rained upon by Filipina women with there viewing my profile and texting me. I couldn't believe it. Plus these were women that were 20-30-40 -45 years younger than me. Plus many were extremely attractive. Not only were they visiting my profile, but I was getting liked and texted left and right. It is about 1 week later from my enrolling on the dating app. I looked this afternoon, and I had 147 likes from women. I have committed to a woman to see how it goes who just luckily is moving to this area next month. She is 30 years old and is a knockout. BTW, she hasn't asked me for a dime and is refusing to let me buy her a cheap cell phone (hers was stolen). She is independent to a fault. Has been on her own since age 19. I still have those American dating sites which will expire next moth. Still not a word from anyone essentially in the last several months. Pea, honest to God, this is a true story. I still have a hard time believing it. And you were a part of my re-finding enough self worth to give it another try with Filipina women. So to you, I say thanks. I can truly say that you have had a hand in changing my life for the better. Not too shabby lovely lady! Oh, BTW, I love your sense of humor. You really crack me up.

      They're probably looking for a green card. It's quite odd that this woman just happens to be moving to the area. Make sure you face time her, to make sure she's not a catfish. Also, you shouldn't have put a false age down. Us women have enough disappointment and lies on dating apps. I just deleted mine, due to catfish and men posting old pics.

    18 year age gap between my wife and I. Been happily married 27 years now. Fell into this relationship after I ended a 16 year marriage with an abusive Cluster B. Two sons by my first marriage and one by the younger model. We have travelled extensively, and enjoy each other’s company. I am no longer sensitive about the age gap. Friends and family have accepted it. I guess those who might be against it would more likely be women who have hit the wall and who might be concerned that their husbands might get ideas. Lol.

I have sent her money a few times for medical care in an emergency (she has an eight-year-old daughter too). She always puts up a pretty good argument when I tell her I will send money to help.

    Your analysis is spot on. I have been coming to the Philippines since 2010, at the age of 65. I was absolutley amazed that young women were showing an interest in me. Some were as young as 18 yrs, although most were between 23 and 30. It is not about age, looks, or money. It is not easy to identify the reasons, but I believe it is largley down to personality. You can be old and still have a sense of humor,and fun. The woman can feel secure in the knowledge that her man is unlikely to be chasing after other women. With the right older man she can develop into who she wants to be. She won't feel bad about her body or her looks, therefore feeling more secure. I have been with my current partner since the begining of Covid. I keep an apartmnt in the Philippines and she lives there. Soon I will be back for a month, and during that time we will go to Vietnam for a week. She doesn't have to worry about money(that doesn't mean she has all she wants, I am not buying her affections), a roof over her head, or where the next meal is coming from. She is not a prisoner and could leave at any time should she choose. At 28yrs old, she is getting on bit now.

    If two truly love each other, remain faithful to each other, respect each other, who cares about age (underaged excluded of course). How many marriages are within 10 years or typically less, and end up unhappy or divorced. Honest communication, staying committed and putting in the effort to work out the problems that arise in a marriage and applying biblical teachings will go a long way to a successful marriage. Also proper planning such as a will and medical interventions.

    I am a 55 year old man from Norway and I really don't understand why people have issues with age gaps in relationships at all.
    Everybody should be able to be in a relationship with whoever they want as long as both are adults, without being judged by others.
    When I was in my early 20s, I dated women that was 3 years younger than me to women that was 8 years older than me.
    When I was 25 I got in relationship and lived for 3 years together with a woman that was 18 years older than me.
    When I was 38, I dated and married a woman that was 20 years younger than me.
    Now at the age of 55, I have realized that there are very few women around my own age that I find attractive and compatible with me.
    And those few are in very steady relationship and will never become single unless their partner dies.
    I clearly see that in reality is it only women at the age up to 35 and maybe a few up to 40 that is "realistic" for me to have a relationship with.
    The problem here in Norway, is that most have a negative view about a large age gap and it is close to impossible for me to get a relationship with a woman I find attractive and feel compatible with.
    Because of this I either must accept to be single for the rest of my life, and I prefer that over being in a relationship I don't love being in.
    Or, I will need to find a woman in a country where they don't think a large age gap is a problem and where many women there even prefer that.
    I have no idea what is in the future for me.
    I only know that I will travel a lot in the world a year or two from now and then I might be lucky and find a nice woman that don't care about me being 20 years or more older than her.
    And if I don't, then it is not the end of the world😊

Throughout the relationship, i rarely found the difference in age to be part of the problem that prevented us from staying together. I was 65, she was 37 when we met. I can imagine meeting someone in their twenties that would be more difficult to connect to. But the age difference means less when both people are more mature.

    P.S. This is to explain my comment.
    When my wife was dying I took care of her for 2 years and I referred to those years as wonderful. I said that because I didn’t let strangers rob her of her dignity and I got to spend every minute of every day with her. I learned how to do her hair and how to do her makeup as well. She would choose her clothes each day and I would dress her. I helped her in the shower and I bathed her every day. I did everything for her even extremely private things such as using the toilet and using feminine things.
    I didn’t want complete strangers doing what I promised I would do in our wedding vows.
    She refused to let me alter our house to be wheelchair accessible. So I would pick her up and carry her to wherever in our home she wanted to be.
    You want to know what wonderful is? Instead of her wasting away in a facility and me visiting her, I got to hold her in my arms a dozen times a day until the day she passed. That’s why I said those years were wonderful.
    And my son who was age 11-13 at the time got to witness how a real man honours and loves his wife. In sickness and in health. He didn’t have to go visit his mother in a facility either. They spent time together every day of those two years and it was good for both of them.
    My wife was an American born Filipina and I loved her more than life itself. And she was right when she said I would have to go to the Philippines to find a wife.
    I intend to keep my promise just as I kept the promises I made on our wedding day.
    God bless

    I’m glad to see responses from couples where the woman was older than the man. The first man I dated after my divorce was 21 years younger than I am. We had a great connection the first night we met. He treated me better in one year of dating than my ex-husband did in 17 years of marriage.
    The reality is that we don’t get to choose who we have a strong connection with. Connection is connection. Most of us should probably work on ourselves and our relationships before making negative comments about other peoples’ relationships.

I'm reassured by your experiences of other peoples' age-gap relationships in the Philippines being commonly genuine, caring partnerships; this was something I feared might be too much to hope for & I had decided not to try.
    This is thought provoking, intellectual content which I don't find so often on RUclips & I appreciate it.
    Your other vlogs are not always like this but over a couple of years I've warmed to you so much as a personality that I'm happy to see whatever it is you want to show me and I find I appreciate your lively, sociable side too.
    I just worry that you're working yourself too hard, Pea

    All relationships are based on expectations. A person gets a job and expects to be paid and the employer expects the person they hired to work. A student goes to school expecting to get an education and the school expects the student to do the work. If expectations are not met, the relationship breaks down. If you haven't discussed your expectations with your potential partner and if your potential partner hasn't discussed theirs with you, there's a good chance the relationship won't work well. Communication is a good idea from the get go. Love your channel Pea.

    Thank you Pea. You have done it already with another video, but sometimes you need to hear the same message twice or more.
    After the failure of a 24 yr. marriage to a Pinay(age gap 3yrs.), i find myself pursuing a Pinay 26 years my junior. I often wonder why she loves me. Yes, she sees something different from what i see in the mirror. I am in good shape for my age(48), but when i think of the competition of younger men, i am not to sure. Your video helps my self esteem. I always wanted more children, and i am familiar with the culture, and speak some of the language. That is why i chose a younger woman. She actually messaged me first. My biggest problem is getting enough time off, from work, to court her in person. I have to quit my job, go to the PI, come back and get a job while i file for legal papers. A major interruption to my career, but family is supposed to be more important. Thank you Pea. I love all the thought and effort you put into your videos. I hope my second marriage is until death do you part, or longer if she wants. 🙂

    I lived in Vietnam for four years and received over a hundred marriage suggestions in that time from women of all ages. I asked some why me, when they hardly knew me and I was often decades older. I received approximately the same answer each time: “You won’t hit me; you won’t go to the whore house; and you’ll provide financial security. And don’t worry, we will fall in love as we go.” I concluded that Vietnamese are simply a practical people. And in the case of the so-called “age gap” marriages that I became familiar with, those women were loving, caring and faithful wives. This matter is as much of a non-issue as homosexuality, race, foreign nationals, and so many other topics that exercise the minds of people that just must not have enough to do. :)

      One can have a mature mind and recognize that the bible speaks against homosexuality. One can simply look at the effects that is has to see it is not proper. Aids, monkeypox, hepatitis are all substantially higher in that population. I don't think there should be a law against it if it is consensual but being mature has nothing to do with not accepting homosexuality as a good thing.

      Agree or disagree, outside of the West (U.S., Australia, Canada, W. Europe, westernized and/or western influenced countries) people tend to be much more practical out of necessity. Sadly prosperity tends to bred idleness. And idleness wastes time to engage in foolishness.
      1 Tim 5:13 - Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.

My wife is colledge educated and from a solid middle class family. Her priorities are family, happiness, faith and caring for her husband and children and she is interested in money only to the extent that we can provide for our family. The 20 year age difference is perfect for us and neither would have it any other way. Those who feel that a large age gap is inappropriate just don't understand the wonder and beauty of the Filipino culture and are stuck in a dark and unhappy western cultural mind set.

    My wife and I met when she was 42 and I was 29 just turning 30. We had so much in common, PROLLY BECAUSE, when I was born in 1963, I was self-aware almost right away! Weird I know since most children can't remember until they are about 6 yrs old! Saying you can remember at age 4 is practically unheard of!!! But as for my-self I was 8 months old when I remember I was sitting on the floor watching TV with my dad and he shouted to my mom, "Hey Maydean! come look at these guys with long hair getting off of the plane!" It was the Beatles.
    My point is that I know a lot more, and can relate to the 60's, while my wife at that time was 12 yrs old, just turning 13!!! So anything she talks about from those times I was right there experiencing all of it!!! I can relate to her more than anyone my own age. Well, she's gone now, and I was blessed to have such a wonderful woman in my life. I'm turning 60 in 4/3/2023.

    Great video! I am married to a Filipina and we have a 32 year age gap. I was in my late 50's and she was in her mid-twenties. She had many offers from suitors her age, from other foreigners, so she did not choose me as a "last" or "only" option in life.
    While we have had ups and downs, she has remained the one constant in both adversity and good fortune. She stuck with me when I was in the ICU at the hospital, she stuck witth me when I had a large financial reversal that destroyed much of my wealth. If it was a money relationship, that was the perfect moment for things to fall apart. But they did not.
    Although warned against it by other expats, we moved back to the West. She was young, pretty, and bubbly. So she got a fair amount of attention once we arrived. But she stayed true to the reelationship. She would tell me about times when guys would approach her and laugh about it. She avoided situations that might encourage bad behavior. Even though there were plenty of opportunities to find a younger or wealthier complanion, she stayed with the one she had chosen originally.
    Do things always go well for these sorts of age difference relationships? No, not always. We know couples that broke up, got divorced, or ended up with a partner having "wandering eyes", but that is a minority even when the couples moved back to the West.
    So, if our age gap offends some, as surely it does, we don't really care. We live our lives and search for our happiness, not theirs. Finally, thank you, Filipina Pea, for some very well thought out videos on life in the Philippines and the culture there. I lived in the Philippines for almost 10 years and bothe my wife and I find your insights spot on! Mabuhay!

    When my friend started dating his Filipino wife I wasn't too big on it. Part of it was the age gap. I know he had talked about getting with an Asian girl. His first marriage to an American had fallen apart after a very traumatic incident occurred in the marriage. After I met her when she came back to the US to stay with him, I really found myself liking her. She was a very sweet person. My friend has had a very fulfilling marriage with her. Now financially speaking my friend makes 6 figures and was able to easily deal with the costs associated with immigration. I will say this, when I have been at his place and seeing them interact I can see the love between them. It is refreshing. Thanks for these videos, Ms Pea. Wish you the best.

    I'm not gonna lie, I literally shopped for a wife in the Philippines but that is really no different than trying to date here in the US using some other dating app or service. My reasoning was that growing up having a Filam best friend and how his mother treated me as a teenager. Later on in life I remembered that and thought it would be nice to have a wife so nice like my friends mother and not an American wife without traditional values. My spouse is very educated, more so that I and literally worked just to take care of her family. Her father had passed away at just the age of 48 due to myocardial infarction. I was talking to several filipinas and once I decided on the one I wanted, I pursued her and showed up in Manila. She's from Ternate, Cavite and did not believe in a million years she would ever hook up with a foreigner, but it happen. At the time I was 29 years old and was not having much luck in the US dating, honestly because I feel I am not well off. I had a good job but no degree. So I started to think that maybe a foreign wife would not put so much emphasis on income and material objects. We were married in 2013 and I am only 2.5 years older than her. We've been married almost 10 years and have 3 children. Even her mother lives here now in the US with us and she is a huge help. Daycare is crazy expensive these days, so that saves us all lots of money. I never had much to say about an age gap between two people. In my experience learning about filipino culture, a lot of women are just waiting for the right person that may never come their way and a lot of them are still virgins. They want what anyone else wants, to be loved and have a family. If they can achieve that with someone 20-40 years their senior, then why not?

    Pea, awesome as usual. I have some filipina friends and they talk about age gaps...and say that women in Phil's are gold diggers. Filipinas say that and think that about each other.
    To all Filipinas, your definition of gold digger is NOT the same as in USA & Europe!
    Truthfully it's hard to find any gold diggers in Phil's. Not in our sense of the word. In philippines they may want the security and safety....and nice things but they still take care of the man, the house, cook, clean, and make him feel loved. In the west a GD does not provide sex, cook, clean, or give a crap about the man. She wants him to hire help for everything and only gives sex when she gets expensive gifts.
    If the woman likes the man has money so what....shit we ourselves like we have money. But if she denies him sexually or doesn't want to work and do her share of cooking and cleaning that's different. I haven't seen that in asia at all. Even the ones that love the designer stuff over there still take pride in their house and make their man happy.
    Filipinas need to give each other a break. You are warm caring people. Maybe there are different levels of full on Filipinaism...haha (my word) but all levels are better than western style gold diggers

I was told to expect to take the whole family to have the young woman. I was not prepared to do that. I left the website service. I don't have friends my age, they are boring. Most of the people I relate to interaction are much younger than me. When I ask people to guess my age, after getting acquainted with me, guess me to be between 50 & 60 years old.

    Hi Pea. Thank you for yet another great video. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but in the west there is a basic formula for what is supposed to be an accepted age gap, which is "half your age plus seven". As some people look young for their age and some old for their age, this formula is not set in stone, but it's a good guide if anyone is wondering how their relationship will be viewed. My wife and I are just outside this range at 61 and 34, but I think we're close enough ;) We were only married a few weeks ago and the process for bringing her here to the US is going to take a while, but maybe we will update you on how accepted our relationship is once she's here.

    You hit the mail on the head in terms of different cultural programming. The way a Filipina or a Filipino family look at what is a good match and the best option available can be quite different. This makes their choice just as valid as one in the west where options are different.
