“Life is too short to be living somebody else’s dream. Age ain’t nothing but a number.” —- Hugh Hefner

Have you ever had a crush on an older man, say your professor in college or any man 10 to 15 years older than you? If you have, I want to put your mind at ease by telling you that it is completely normal. In fact, most women love dating older men more than men of their age group. There is something about older men that some women cannot resist. Something I can’t put my finger on. Maybe women are attracted to the maturity level of these older guys, or it is the way older men carry themselves, or it is because older men can challenge them mentally.

If you are a lady and are attracted to an older man, there is nothing wrong with you. And if you are a lady and considering getting into the dating scene, there are plenty of good reasons why you should opt for older men. That is what we are going to talk about in this article today.

Reasons to Date Older Men

• 1. They are more experienced

Men grow old like a fine wine. Their past experiences have molded them into someone who can make their situation much better than before. An older man comes with a certain level of maturity and are aware that things always don’t happen the way they hoped, and so they are more patient with everything in their lives.

An older man know what they want and have the guts to go for it. They are more confident, well-mannered, have been in a lot of places, and are more cultured.

• 2. They are  mostly financially stable

The only thing that normally comes into people’s minds when they hear that a woman is dating an older man is money.  This is the general stigma in society. However, this turned out to be just a myth as a study in 2010 by the University of Dundee in Scotland indicated that as women become financially independent; their preference may skew toward an older man. So it appears that when a woman becomes more successful and mature, she tends to seek a partner with the same level of maturity.

An independent woman will not settle for a man who is not earning at all.

A man in his late 20s is likely to have less wealth, few savings, and fewer assets compared to 20 years to come, considering that he continues to accumulate wealth as he the years go by.

• 3. They are likely to be better in bed

The older the man, the more experience he has under his sleeves in terms of a romantic relationship. This gives him an edge when it comes to handling relationships, as now they understand women and what they want.

Aside from having more experience in bed, an older man understand women better than younger men. They are a bit sensitive to their women’s physical and emotional needs. Most older men are also more romantic and have a good sense of humor. 

• 4. They have gained a sense of taste

In terms of finer things in life, older men usually know how to choose the better ones, be it wine, vocational destinations, food, and clothes. This is because they can afford most of these things and also because they know what is good and what is not.

• 5. They knows what comprises a great date

An older man know what a real date should entail. This again comes down to the experience he has amassed over the years. This does not mean that an older guy will be opposed to a night of Netflix and chilling, but he is well-versed on how a proper date should be.

• 6. They just get it

An older man has a greater understanding of your fears, concerns, as well as what you are looking for in life. A matured guy wants to be your friend first and is willing to work through any hurdles along the way.

• 7. They live a healthy lifestyle

While they will drink wine and beer or even smoke, they usually know where to draw the line. An older man can also handle their issues better because they are mature enough to know the way out.

They tend to have at least one or two sports that they enjoy taking part in. They make it a habit of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Older men tend to spend their money on such things as spare parts of their vehicles or bikes instead of video games and other gadgets.

Also, older men know the benefits of having a relaxing time, so they do not feel the urge to stretch their limits and exhaust their bodies.

• 8. They are likely to be looking for a serious relationship

Naturally, men take longer to mature than men, thus mostly; middle age is the age of maturity for men. This is the age for a serious and more stable relationship. It is at this stage that they have everything figured out, and they are now ready for something more than just a good time.

Therefore women who are tired of immature relationships can seek a more stable relationship with older men.

• 9. They are not party animals

Younger men are usually more focused on parties, loud music, booze, and all that stuff. On the other hand, older men realize that a party-focused lifestyle is not sustainable and unhealthy. Instead of partying, older men normally enjoy the company of their close friends.

• 10. They don’t give up that easily

I have already mentioned that older men understand what they need and go for it. If he values you, he will fight for you. Older men don’t usually love with one foot out the door, unlike many younger men.

Go for it. And remember LoveWorks for the fun stuff.
