May - December Affair

Arghh! My sinful eyes and my sinful thoughts!

No, please don’t get me wrong. I am not into pornography. :-)
You see, I can’t help but to observe people as I go to different places. And one thing that I notice here in Cambodia is that I always see Cambodian young ladies together with Caucasian oldies. One cannot help but notice them because the girl is usually in her teens while her consort is probably septuagenarian if not octogenarian. Well, I am not saying that this set up is wrong. Even when I was just a teenager I already knew that I could fall in love with an oldy. (Luckily, I did not. hehehe). Now that the inevitable of becoming an old man is near I know that I can fall in love with a young girl. (Though this is not possible because I am already married. hehehe.) Mind you, I don’t want to sound cliche but I still believe in the dictum, “Age doesn’t matter”.

One thought keeps bugging me though. What is it in these old men that a young lass is an easy prey for them? Ummm… Let me think. Here are the possibilities.

1. (My conscience accusingly pointing a finger at me with a stern look.) You naughty! She is a just a caregiver in his employ. Theirs is just an employer-employee relationship.

ME: But is it natural for employers to hold hands with their employees?

2. Because of the gender ratio. We all know that there are 3 women for every man. So, Khmer girls don’t have an option but to look for older men.

ME: But why don’t they go with khmer older men instead?

3. With the experience of older men, they are better lovers than young lads.

ME: (nodding my head though this is just a possibility and there is no concrete study to support this supposition.)

4. Well….

What a heck! It should not be my concern anymore. It is their lives and I should give them the benefit of the doubt. Honestly, I am not comfortable writing about this because I may deal on a sensitive issue of racisim.

Arghh! Sorry for being too nosy!
