Why Younger Women like Older Men

Today, more younger women are dating older men then ever before.
These relationships have been depicted on the silver screen for many years,
but today’s younger woman is more than a trophy on the arm of her man.
Younger women are interested in older men because they are looking for stability,
maturity, and security.

Younger women may find that there are too many emotional issues involved
with dating younger men.  It has been a fact for years that women mature faster
then men, and many women simply don’t find men their age appealing.
When women are ready to settle down and have children, many younger men still
want to play the field.  This causes problems and distance.

The fact that older men are financially set and can woo them with gifts that their
younger counterparts generally can’t afford doesn’t hurt either. Since the divorce
rate is increasing, many older men are on the market, however dating older men
isn’t all shiny gifts and roses.  There are some downfalls that must be taken
into consideration if these relationships are going to work.

First, there must be a clear understanding regarding children.
Men are fertile and can continue to father children at any age.  There is no doubt
that younger women will eventually want to start a family.  Older men must be
prepared for this, and unfortunately, many older men simply do not want to begin
families again.  This issue must be addressed and worked through or else there is
room for great turmoil within the relationship.

If a man has just recently been divorced, jumping into another family may be the
last thing on his mind.  In fact, he may be attracted to younger women simply because
they are spontaneous, carefree, and don’t have children.  They may be in emotional
upheaval due to their divorce and lack of contact with their children.
The last thing they are thinking about is getting married and having children.
However, this may be the secret desire on the younger woman’s heart.  If the couple
is not in agreement in this area, there could be serious trouble ahead.

Additionally, younger women may not be well accepted by her partner’s children.
This can lead to turmoil and confusion.  It can also trigger feelings of jealousy
in the younger woman and she may begin to consider having children of her own.
This can cause a serious rift in the relationship.
 
At first, intergenerational dating may seem like a great option, however it doesn’t
take long for the nature of the relationship to change.  When older men expect
younger women to give up the idea of having children the relationship is headed
for trouble.  No matter how convincing a young woman may sound regarding her lack
of interest in starting a family, you can be certain that her biological clock will
tick and once it does she will feel the pressures of having a family before it is
too late.  The only way that intergenerational dating will work is through honest
and sincere communication.
