Why Western Men Choose a Foreign Woman 15 Years Younger
Dating outside your comfort zone can be challenging. No matter how much you like the person, it’s difficult to get past superficial differences in age, culture and values. After all, we all have our version of an ideal partner.
That’s why when dating a foreign woman, most Western men tend to choose someone 15 years younger.
But why? Here are a few reasons why western men love younger foreign women.
She's More Spontaneous and Adventurous
You’re probably a little more conservative when it comes to dating. You’d like to take things slow and steady, especially if you’re considering marrying her in the future. On the other hand, she’s full of energy and loves going out and meeting new people.
She doesn’t want to be stuck at home on a Friday night watching Netflix with you. She wants to go out with her friends or go for a jog or a bike ride around the neighborhood.
If you want someone adventurous and spontaneous, then she’s the girl for you. After all, age is just a number.
They May Be Easier to Get Along With
Younger foreign women tend to be much easier-going and fun-loving than Western women. They get along with people better, and they’re more likely to forgive when you’ve done something wrong, even if it’s just once or twice in the relationship, rather than hold a grudge.
They May Be More Traditional
Younger foreign women tend to be very traditional in relationships and usually want a man who can provide for them financially and treat them like a lady (and treat their family well).
They mostly don’t care about things like an equal partnership and shared responsibility; they just want you to be a man and handle your business.
In contrast, Western women today seem very uncomfortable with being feminine anymore. They seem to want equality with men without any of the responsibility that comes with being masculine.
I find both of these scenarios problematic because neither one is really good for women – but foreign women know how to be feminine without losing all of their identity.
She Can Keep Up With Your Busy Lifestyle
You’ve probably been around the block more than once when it comes to relationships and dating. When she’s younger than you by fifteen years or less, she might be able to handle your hectic schedule better than someone older.
She’ll also be able to handle herself better in social situations (where most women your age tend to feel awkward or uncomfortable in such settings).
This makes her an excellent companion in networking events or business meetings as well as family gatherings and parties where many people are present at once.
Is a 15-Year Age Gap Too Much?
I’ve been asked this question a lot, and I think it’s interesting. It depends on the person, but I’ll share my thoughts below.
To me, age is just a number (and an arbitrary one at that). If two people are happy together and both feel like they have something to offer each other, then I don’t see why they can’t pursue a relationship.
Many of the men I hear from who have a big age gap with their foreign bride are concerned about the age difference, but I think that’s silly. It’s not like you will be with this woman for 50 years or more, so what does it matter if she’s 15 years younger than you?
As far as I’m concerned, if you can find a woman who wants to be with you and is willing to come to your country and live there for the rest of your life, then why not?
If it works out well, then that’s great – and if it doesn’t, then at least you didn’t waste too much time or money on your relationship.
What Age Gap is Not Acceptable in Foreign Dating?
I think the biggest age gap you should avoid is one where the woman is significantly younger than you. I doubt a 45-year-old man would want to get involved with a 20-year-old woman, and if he did, he wouldn’t be able to see her as anything more than a teenager.
The difference in maturity levels is just too much for them to overcome, so I think it would be best for both of them if they didn’t try. As far as other age gaps go, it doesn’t matter what the difference between you and your foreign bride is – so long as she’s legal and willing to be with you.
I don’t think there are any hard and fast rules about what constitutes an acceptable age gap, but there are some large gaps that I wouldn’t recommend. If you like a woman, but she’s way too young for you, then maybe consider waiting until she gets older before attempting anything serious with her.
Our Top Tips for Dating a Foreign Woman 15 Years Younger
Western men who date foreign women may be wise and mature, but they’re still men. They’re guided by their natural instincts when it comes to attraction, lust, love and sexuality.
Here are a few tips to help you date a younger foreign woman.
Be Ready For the Possibility of Divorce
If you’re planning on marrying a foreign woman, you should probably be prepared for the possibility of divorce. If she’s from a country where divorce is common, there’s a good chance it will happen to you too.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be happy with her, but it does mean that she might not be happy with you.
Try To Understand Her Culture and Traditions
If she comes from a foreign country, she will have some cultural differences that will make life difficult for you.
For example, if she comes from a highly religious country and expects you to follow all of her rules, it might be tough for you to get along with her in the long run.
Before getting involved with her, you should try to get an idea of what those differences are. If they don’t bother either one of you, then it shouldn’t matter at all.
But if they matter to either of you, then maybe reconsider getting involved with each other early in your relationship.
Don't Make Plans Too Early
If your foreign bride is coming to live in the United States, then it is best if you don’t make any plans too early about having kids or buying a house together until at least six months. This helps both of you get adjusted and acclimated to life in the U.S.
It will also give you time to consider whether this relationship is worth continuing down the road. No matter how much time passes, people change and grow apart from each other over time anyway.
As such, it’s just best not to rush things along too quickly when starting a new relationship, especially one involving cultural differences and legal issues like this one.
As such, if you find yourself attracted to women several years your junior, perhaps it’s time to see if lightning can strike twice and date another younger woman. Don’t be afraid.
Final Word: Find The Right Attitude And Approach
Dating a foreign woman can bring some challenges, especially if you are much older or she is much younger than you.
We don’t want to scare you away from dating younger foreign women, but it is important that you know what to expect before diving into a serious relationship. However, with the right attitude and approach, there shouldn’t be anything stopping you from finding love again with a foreign lady 15 years younger.
