Seriously, do we need one more comment/blog/forum on this site from this guy about young Asian women?
You are an old white guy. You travel. This means you have some money, you're a way out of the country, and you will die soon enough in their life that it isn't going to be real hard to move on after you're gone.
People randomly ask to introduce you to their young daughters. Probably even before they get to know your charming personality. As if, somehow, just the superficial facts are the most important?
Excuse me.
I'm tired, and I'm buzzed, and I have never ever claimed perfection- But I would really appreciate being able to associate your face to something other than a mail-order bride program.
I suppose I read it in somewhat of a bias fashion. The 'everyone has to get a cookie' concepts leave me behind somewhere. The kind of nonsense that lead to the 'Rainbow Sheep' rhyme.
Taiwain refuses to be part of the China because of the communist coup d'etats. It was a non-democractic rule. We support them in the cause, since because Obama.
China is a top nation polluter. Clearly this is bad. We wish they decrease their emissions.
Obama has met with the Dalai Llama. He is a man of great wisdom. Why should China oppose?
China takes continuous action to keep their currency low, to falsely propose their home market. They are nondemocratic.
I should think that a person who is willingly admitting that they aren't ready to have a child in their life is doing you a favor.
Sure, a lot of those people might be ready if they really looked at it and honestly reconsidered, but then they apparently aren't the type for such introspective adventures- And for those who are, well their opinions stand!
You also have to consider, other than a matter of time or responsibility, per se, the personal commitment they're making as well..
You have a child whom that person is ultimately going to have to share attention and finances with, even if the parent covers all of the 'parent duties' - a child who isn't his/hers. Some people might find that very hard to settle with.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against single mothers in the least. Just saying, even if there are a lot of people who aren't interested in single parents, a lot of them probably DO have justifiable reasons for it.
To be quite sincere, sounds like a cop-out to me! ;)
Life isn't a teacher, it is the culmination of all you have learned!
I see this something like, "Why do you like football?" with an answer akin to "Because its fun!".
That may be very true, but isn't there a reason its fun? Is it the running, or throwing, or teamwork, or sheer strength or skill involved?
We can be taught by emotion, or our senses. Of these, we can specify even further- Hate, love, taste, touch. Then, what causes these emotions? Is the emotion itself the topic, or is it really about a person, place, action, or thing that causes emotions, or sensory input, or other cause-effect actions?
Does your child teach you because you love him, or does love teach you, because you feel love everywhere?
If you'd entertain me, I'd ask you the same question over, "Who is your favorite teacher?"
And if you might, reach into 'life' and pull us out something definitive, something critical and specific. We're all dying to know!

As for myself, to answer directly in obvious fashion, Mr. P my 10th grade Chemistry teacher was mine, because he quite often strayed into philo-politisophical rants that had nothing to do with Chemistry and everything to do with 'how things worked in the real world'. And they were import things to consider, especially as I grew older.
But, in that fashion of lateral thinking, 'patience' has taught me the most. I have had the benefit of a mild temper, and I am often surprised, and educated, by the outcome of situations where I might have been inclined to give up as I imagine many other people might have in my stead.
If you have two gears, with a load on each, they don't turn at all.
If you have two gears, and one of those has a motor, one gear turns the other gear, and things stay in motion. That's a great place to start, but there's a lot of friction, and it's all one-sided.
Now, if you have two gears, and there's a motor on each, they both spin, there is hardly any friction, and the gears both spin faster than ever!
That's a healthy relationship!
Now, you might say, if there's no load on one gear, what's the point of all the spinning?
Well, if you're both working together and having a good time at it, who cares?!
I find that a lot of women, including 'older' women, prefer young men because they tend to be energetic and whimsical. They aren't locked into ten years or working at the same old place- They're often getting into something new, and exploring their passions!
Plus, of course, they're younger! And that probably has more value concerning the quality of their body than their life experience!
I suppose, though, it will all depend on your ideal of 'love'.
What sacrifices do you make for the things that make you come alive? Can you have a love for art, without sacrifice? Is affection love, or something less?
I love cheese.
I love rich, dynamic music.
I love the family which I never see.
Where is the sacrifice, there?
Understandably, there may be sacrifices made in a loving relationship, but I wonder why God, in his infinite power and love, needed anyone at all to sacrifice? Is God not capable of forgiveness, unless someone gives his life?
It would appear, from the comments given, that the importance of age difference varies depending on what you want.
Is it OK to date someone 20 years older than yourself? I would think so.
Does such a person going into that situation really honestly believe it will carry them both through 'until death doth do they part'? I wouldn't think so..
Is it OK to enter into a relationship as such, knowing that you're probably not going to be together forever? Well, yeah, as long as you're honest with each other about the reality of it, why not? A deathbed marriage isn't what everyone is after, and if you spend fourteen years of bliss, married or not, with someone half your age, and then it has to end, wasn't it worth it?
Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
PS: Very saddening performances from both Saudi Arabia and Maryland.

RE: do you have an idea why there are many bad people
A good man suffers his whole life to do right and good.A bad man has an easier way, is not impeded by virtue, takes what he wants.
When a good man dies, he is still a good man.
When a bad man dies, he is nobody.
