I think what part of the world you're in makes a difference.
I live in Philippines and, for an older guy, it's absolute Heaven here. You have your choice of young girls — age is moot.
If you're in your 50s and you ask a girl in her 20s what she thinks about the age difference, you will always get the same reply: "Age is just a number, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is what kind of person you are." Hands-down, 100% of the time, that is the answer you'll get.
For an older guy, it's absolutely a win-win. Young girls have a better sex drive, more attractive, no menopause, genuinely value your experience/wisdom, and expect you to run the show. Feminists in the States overhype the whole "gold-digger" argument.. sure there are some bad ones who want to take advantage, but they're a tiny representation of the entire dating pool. The vast majority love the idea of being with an older foreigner and view their role as a partner fairly seriously.
All of this can be applied across SE and E Asia. So come on out here, gents, the girls are waiting..
