Hello,John.I think,it depends on the age of women, it first.If girl is 20 -24 she can not prefere guys older, but think, that guys of her age can not to be ready to family yet, and can choose somebody about 4 years older, not more.Afterwards, being older, women can choose men of theirs age or younger.I can tell, in our country men marry even in theirs 18 th, and wife can be older, for example,one my girlfriend married in her 27 to guy of 18. But, in international dating 2 reasons of doubt-if young man want to marry very soon and if he has possibility,because it will take more time and money,than if they were inside the contry.So, first of all, if i were you, i would find out procedure in your country and all problems and expenses, and afterwards you could tell to yourself and proove to potential partner, if you can do it.Because, sometimes it happens, even with older men, they become interested in all these things too late, and get, they can`t do it, so, as a result, women cease to believe to all men in general.
