Why are there so many old Western men dating young Filipina women in the Philippines?
They're a form of sexual predator, although not the worst type by far.Here's the typical story: a man in his late 40s onward (I've seen as old as 80s) comes to the Philippines (or Thailand, or Cambodia, or...). He is divorced, or plans to be. He thinks that women in his home country are terrible harpies, unfit for dating or marriage. He has been hurt by these women of his own culture many times, and has decided to break free and make his own way, with women who truly respect men. These women just happen to be 1/4 (or 1/6, or 1/8...) his own age and in desperate straits.The reality is that these men are usually the bottom of the barrel: untalented, unintelligent and undesirable. But not in their own opinion - they are deep, deep into Dunning-Kruger territory. It all boils down to self-interest, and performing whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to convince themselves that it's OK for an old man to have sex with girls in their late teens.Why are there so many? The fundamentals are simple. There is a massive income disparity between Western countries and the Philippines: a poor man in the US or UK is quite rich in the Philippines. There is free flow of information: it's easy to find out you can go take advantage of poor girls across the globe. They're allowed to do it by locals. And, there is no shortage of assholes in the world.As to why they're not the worst type of sexual predator out there, the simple answer is that many at least abide by legal age requirements (18+) and, happily, the women they choose are often smart enough to drain away enough money to improve their own lives. The smartest get their education and material needs (car, house) then move on to dating younger men.Here are a couple of fun phrases all Filipinos know:Matandang mayamang madaling mamatay (MMMM) - rich old man, ready to dieDOM - Dirty Old ManIn short, Filipinos are aware that these old men aren't particularly great, but they make no efforts to chase them away either, knowing that the DOMs are adding money to a rather poor economy.
How do I explain to my Grand Son that freedom comes at a high price.?
I see the same problem developing with my grandchildren. They are two and four years of age. That, in my opinion seems to young for them to understand wars and such for freedom. So instead I try to give them consequences when they abuse the freedoms and liberties that they have in their little young world. When they are older I hope they will be able to grasp what you mean. But parents are not the only liberal/independent you may be up against. Some teachers subscribe to this also and the friends they may make also. I have found being a grandparent is a double edged sword. Much of what we would like to pass on to them seems doomed by others. I have accepted this sadness of the situation and spend much time praying for the best. I thought about this subject for a lot of grandparent/grandchildren situations and it seems prevalent even for the relation ship between my father and his grandfather, also when thinking about my parents relationships with their grandchildren. What can we do, but do the best we can, try to teach them to think for themselves and be willing to sacrifice for others when the need arises. An interesting but tough question, but thanks anyway.

Question about womans equality?
We want and deserve equality in the work force, but at home and on dates we still want to be treated as women. And I do pay for dates an equal amount of the time. Of course I have had the same date for the past 18 yrs.
