OP's post says everything: there is one common interest among all-age men, girls in their 20s

Speaking from the aspect of a 20s girl (although only one year left)

I usually dont think age would matter much, but old guys have their own problems:

It is hard to find the appropriate point to show how vigorous you are more than other men in their 40s, but not look immature to their age. I kinda dont like 40s men who try to dress them or act like they are still in their 20s or 30s.

Also you have to be relatively outstanding compared with your 20s or 30s counterparts, financially or socially,etc.

There are more girls who are in their 30-40s who like 50-60s guys than girls who are in their 20s like 40s guys. Why do you stick on age? There are many early 30s Korean woman who are serious in relationship and both financially and emotionally stable.

OP, I married a man 20 years my senior - a Korean. I was 22 when I met him, straight out of grad school. We've been together for 10 years, unfortunately we are separating.

But the point is, I wasn't looking for a dad... to me his age wasn't important. So I think you need to look beyond age and find a compatible woman, regardless of age. You are seriously restricting yourself if you won't go for women not in her 20s.

The op's not going to have much luck.
You'll have the opportunity to meet girls in their 20's...but they'll just be wanting English practice...you won't get any play.
Now, if you had a lot of money then you'd get play...but isn't that just the case for about anywhere. A teacher's salary isn't enough here, nor in Japan, nor in Taiwan.

When I was backpacking in China, I saw a lot of older guys with young pretty things...saw even more when I was travelling in the Philippines. It's poor there so even people without a lot of money can pretend to be rich.

All the girls I've dated here have been 4-5 years older than me, except one who I'm currently dating who's in high school. I say just go for the type you want. I usually date older women but if a younger one comes along that has the qualities I look for, then I date her. Treat women as individuals and don't be scared of their age. I don't ask people's ages because it automatically distorts your view of them (and I don't answer directly when they ask me until I'm sure they've fallen for me).

I am 41 and have been asked out by lots of 17 and 18 year girls in coffee shops and in restaurants. Sometimes the girls working in the convenience stores are very friendly.

I am not intersested in girls that young. I do like girls in their 20's but in Korea they don't pay attention to me as most have bf's by that time.

Other end of the scale is the 40 year women who have asked me out but I am just not interested.

I have dated 3 girls in their 20's but they were all princess like messes so I dropped them quickly.

While on vacation in other parts of Asia I notice lots of 20 ish women smiling and being interested in me. Korea is not the place for this.

I think about what the op said and compare it with my own observations.
My "auntie" wanted to set me up with girls at my church. These were PYT (high school grads!) and completely opposite of each other. But the head games were a killer.
Thank goodness i have a good woman now (older than me )
