The Good, The Bad, and The Clueless.
[QUOTE=Bart1;1345181]I just have to throw my 2 cents worth in. Without a doubt there are only 2 countries, Colombia and Thailand with such great acceptance of young chica older guy, but it goes much further than being with a young chica in public places. The friendliness of young chicas to me [60+ kanuckistan gringo) I encounter in stores and restaurants in Colombia is in total contrast to what I encounter in Canada. The friendliness of Colombianas toward older gringos also exceeds that of chicas in Ecuador and Peru in my humble opinion. I am presently in Ecuador saving my last 32 days left on my max 180 in Colombia for when my novia has her university holidays. A few notes to older gringos wanting to have a relationship with a chica, lose the big gut, if 50+ dress 35 ish, (but no white runners) buy a trimmer and use it on the nose hairs, ears, eyebrows and down below. Ricker talks about being 20 years older and meeting the parents, I meet the parents and I am 20 years older than the mother. (I am jealous Ricker I only wish I was 20 years older than the chica also).[/QUOTE]First let me say "Good For Us!" this recent subject matter did not devolve into a Young vs Old gringo flame battle. Signs of life!
I'm usually on the young side of the argument.
Let's focus on what is important in the last few posts.
Bart nailed some of the most obvious IMO:
1) Lose the gut=be the best you can be. NOBODY likes a fat slob! If you have a few extra LBS. Develop a funny and outgoing personality!
2) Dress nice, get a new shirt and not one with a huge design / pattern. If your best shirt has glitter, sparkles, looks like a tribal tattoo; you need a new shirt! Hahhaha! I don't think if you're 50 you should dress 35. What does 35 dress like? Let's shoot for classic, nice jeans (no rips or tears because if you do you'll look like the dude from Aerosmith = Trying too hard) , a new clean pair of sneakers for casual chilling and a set of nice brown shoes if you like to get a bit dressy / workish, a nice golf / polo shirt, a new cool tee shirt.
3) Lord I don't know how this is not obvious to EVERYBODY, personal grooming is key. I'd like to add breath, have gum, mints, breath spray on hand.
4) Be funny and nice! Do not be cheap!
5) Get a clue. Or be as cool as you can be. I've been up in Parque Gringo and have seen some WEAK game being spit and the look in the girls eyes of "what is this loser gringo saying to me?", for example, This dude in a bar saying to a Chica: "Do you know who you look like, Sofia Lauren!" Now SL was one of the hottest girls EVER IMO but this 20? Year old Colombian chick would have 0% chance of knowing who that is! How is she supposed to understand the joke / complement? Another; I was on a double date with my buddy Joey in the states, he commented that he needed a hair cut and said that he would shave his head but didn't want to look like the singer form Midnight Oil. WHO? A 1 hit wonder form the 80s? Both the girls where BORN in the 80s! If you are to date a younger girl you have to be versed in some of the up to date stuff in popular culture.
6) Smile and Laugh! But don't laugh at your own jokes first! That's a sign of a lack of self confidence.
I'm sure I"m missing more of the foundation stuff but this is a good start for most of the clueless.
More than 2 countries for young chica, older guy.

Mate, for my money, it is home to the most beautiful girls on the planet, and as a 65 year-old, I am always dating girls 18-25 if I like.
Now if they would only learn cooking from the Thais.
