It happens in Kenya too. Brits, Germans and Italians come here for holiday, and pursue younger men/women, and even (unfortunately) underage girls. It's a sad sight to behold, but if it involves consenting adults it's their business. When it involves minors, that's just unacceptable.

This is sad. Each side is looking for something different from the other. One is desperately seeking love, the other is desperate to escape poverty. The same thing happens in places like the Philippines but with old men going after poor young girls.

[@jacquelynn2051]

This is great exchange imho with all due respect. The business of the WORLD is recognizing a need, and filling it.

[@janellrr7395]

This is true but those Filipino ladies takes care of their man until the man mistreats them, then some ladies change, but not all of them. They still feel thankful and still serve their men. Feed them and takes care of them.

[@hayat3428]

@@janellrr7395 Yes, some of them are appreciative and okay with the relationship, and depending on how big or small the age gap is, it works sometimes. However, many of them are doing it out of desperation to get out of poverty, often sacrificing their true happiness because it's not only about them, they have expectations from their families to get them out of poverty as well. There's a reason these tourists go to the poorest Asian and African countries for these sorts of relationships. It's because they know these desperate people will do anything for the promise of a better life. At least the "cougars" seem to go after 28-40 year old men. From what I've seen, the male tourists often go after 18-20 year old girls whose brains haven't fully developed, sometimes even younger than that.

[@LeoInterHyenaem]

Not entirely. While the flockers may, indeed, be on a desperate quest for love by those incapable of loving - their protohuman counter-party is looking for: 1. Shag objects; 2. White shag objects; 3. An opportunity to dupe their white shag objects; 4. Cool factor. That's a lot more things they're after than just an opportunity to dupe the desperate hags.

The women are benefitting. These dudes probably have a wife or two and a passel of children…children are such and important part of the culture. few if any Gambian men will forgo children to marry a post menopausal, overweight, lonely crone…but I guess everyone is getting what he or she is seeking.

[@miclazy-5m]

they are probably the second wife and also benefit from it

This is one of the best documentary ever made. In sociology they say for you to do a more scientific research you have to observe with indifference and not show your feelings to the subject under research. You did just that Seyi Rhodes. Well done.

The interviewer wasn't indifferent at all. He was more concerned about the British women being financially exploited than the young Gambian men being sexually exploited.

I actually think he began with a fifty-year-old middle-aged Gambian men and a 58 year-old middle-aged British white woman just to shake it up so that one wouldn't put on moral glasses, not that one shouldn't but he wanted to be able to begin this documentary without initiating a bias from the get-go due to age disparity. I think it was achieved this by showing us two middle-aged people who loved each other & who got married and their families were involved in the marriage, the family of the man who lived in that country was involved which is usually what they say marriage is about, although with older people it is less so.

Met a 30 year old Gambian while in Texas. I asked him what his occupation was & he said he had 4 older British ladies taking care of him, why would he work. He was visiting his 20 year old girlfriend in Houston. I thought he was full of it. Gosh he was probably telling the truth.

I lived in The Gambia for a year and used to visit the beachfront stretch around the Bungalow Beach Hotel and The Kairaba Hotel in 1995. This issue of old women coming from Europe to sexually "feast" on desperately poor locals (aka bumsters), is not a recent matter. Kudos to Seyi Rhodes for doing a decent and balanced reportage on this ongoing subject. By and large, The Gambia is a great tourist destination for people who are desirous of escaping from the cold wintry days of Europe and the rest of the world.
