Finding a woman friend in Asia

Love with a clever and pleasant woman in Asia

I'm 67 and not very interested in sex - a few times ok, but . . . I don't have a huge amount of money, but live well in Asia - India, Thailand, Sri Lanka. I want to find a woman of around 55+ to travel with, hang out with, talk to, sleep with and have occasional sex. Where do I look? (I'm on the beach in Goa but I don't find anyone who fits my l life-style of travelling around all the time.

Best answer: I think there would be many women who would love a man who only occassionally wants sex and someone who would love to travel. Unfortunately I would not know where to look in Asia. I think online dating is great. Okcupid has some profiles for women, 55+ in Thailand. So maybe you could try looking there. You can match people based on all your interests by answering questions. I am not sure if there will be a lot to choose from, but since it is free it can't hurt. You never know, the perfect person maybe be looking on there.

I second the online dating - it does wonders as far as being able to filter out people who may have less than honest or desirable traits.

Are you an expat? Or a local? Are you looking for someone of the same culture as you, or not? (Expat culture vs local culture vs immigrant culture are often very distinct and have different implications for how best to meet people.) For example, meeting someone with an offer of 'come and travel with me/live in this foreign place' is very different then looking for a local partner who may want/expect to be settled in the place they call home (even if you don't consider it home.)

Response by poster: I am an expat - English, but overseas for 40 years - and would want to be with a western woman who shared my western cultural 'style'.

Place an advert in a paper stating such. Don't forget to include the details on your requirements for a "western woman" fitting your western cultural "style". On second thought, perhaps an advert in a paper in the old country is in order.

the best way to meet an Asian woman is to get to know a family and have them fix you up with someone of your similar style and values.
