In fact, I agree with you to a certain extent. Yes, if I was still in China chasing women I'd say my chances of snagging a twenty something are close to zero unless I was to spend a shitload of money. I'm 48. I think I'd be flat out attracting any woman under about 34. My former model looks don't cut it anymore. I know it. In Thailand it's different, big age gaps are normal there. A handsome 50 year old can still attract a pretty 27 year old Thai gal. One day in 2014 a 54 year old friend of mine with a thick Irish accent said to me, "Shaun, it just dawned upon me that I'm too fucking old" . "Too old to attract women in China anymore". Now he actually was quite happy in China". He left in 2015 .Apart from a lack of women in China and the better weather in Thailand I doubt he would have left. He was from Ireland, a cold country anyway. He had been in China for ten years. I don't blame him for leaving .Most men want love and sex and don't want to be alone. As for me, I am not interested in women over 35, or 38 would be my upper limit. So in that respect, at 48 I have passed my use by date in China. I can't attract early thirties women in China anymore. I always have a Plan B though, women in Thailand don't care about my age. I don't need Chinese women anymore.
