Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
I've only dated one older woman than me. She was 10 years my senior. Remarkably talented with impeccable taste and fairly wealthy. We stayed together until she started dropping her dentures into a glass. The reactions we got were little different to those already mentioned.
It doesn't really matter what aspect of life you look at. If you are in any way different to the accepted norm, people will notice.

Why does everyone assume it's all about the age difference ?
Of course sometimes it will raise eyebrows & attract attention, especially in the most obvious cases.

Perhaps the starers are wondering why such a pretty, petite young Thai girl is hanging out with an unattractive, overweight western manMind you, I have only had such looks from unattractive, overweight, western women, who would have difficulty getting a man in any country. I think they are just jealous and vindictive.
Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I was 43 when I met my wife and she was 31, not unusual even by western norms.
As a former athlete, I have been blessed with a slim waist and muscular build, which I still make the effort to maintain. I have never been overweight in my life.
I think some westerners come here with a predisposed negative mind set influenced by popular western media, which has sensationalized older western men marrying younger foreign women.
The stares are not that of pity for the Thai wife but of contempt and disgust towards the western male.

Yes I agree, it applies to any race, anything out of the norm, I suppose I must have looked a bit longer than I should when a man came towards me with a tattoo all over his face, it took me by surprise
Maybe the writer of the post is confusing the looks he gets as well...maybe dirty sexpats does not come into it at all The thing about body language is that it is unconscious. Sometimes people sit and have a coffee just "people watch" in general, ever thought of that? I think also that older people tend to stare a bit more than normal, it's just something they do, not intended. My mother stared a lot more when she got older, over the age of 80 anyway, it was not intentional, just something that came on with age. I was always saying to here "Don't stare"...she used to look people up and down, mainly women, starting at the top and ending with the shoes! This was in the UK, not in Thailand

Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
Reading through this thread no-one has really explained what is 'the dirty sexpat' look.
How would I possibly know if someone was looking at me like 'dirty sexpat' rather than 'wish I lived in a sunny country without having to work', or 'why can't I get a tan like that' or that they were just looking at me while thinking 'Was this wooden frog really worth 1000B'.
I don't think it's wise to assume you know what other people are assuming about you, and worse still is to let it bother you.

It's not an assumption when you can hear what they are saying.

Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
Have people become so rude that they would discuss their opinions of you within earshot?
I think if anyone did that to me I wouldn't hesitate to point out to them how wrong they were and how rude they were being.

Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
Sorry Frank. I would do the opposite. I would politely tell them I agree with them and then embellish it with some details to the point of shocking them. Maybe tell them that my partner (s) and I indulge in all the acts described on the 'Edens' club menu at least once a week in publicFrank Hovis wrote:Have people become so rude that they would discuss their opinions of you within earshot?

Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
@Frank - yes, I think they have.
However, my GF gets more looks than me. She's 25, but could pass for much younger. Not sure whether it is looking out of pity, out of trying to work out her age, or just lecherous attention. Absolutely sure in Malaysia, that it was lecherous attention (mainly Indians); not so sure what call to make in Market Village.

Had enough of the trolls. Going to sleep. I may be some time....
Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
Guys, you aint seen nothing yet. Try walking around with a 'Thai looking' teenage son, or Thai grand daughter - that's when you really get the looks. Just put it down to their holiday experience, and it gives them something to talk about when they get home.

Re: Do you get that look(Dirty sexpat )?
I have both a teenage son & daughter, both quite dark skinned as they've been here most of their lives and I can honestly say I have never noticed anyone apparently 'judging' me.
Maybe they look enough like me for it to be obvious that I'm their dad, or maybe I don't pay enough attention to other people.

I've never found it a problem, but have received of looks when out walking with them.
