What is with Younger Women dating or marrying Older Men?
74Older Man Younger Woman Relationships
There are many celebrity married couples where the man is old enough to be the father of the woman. Whether it is younger woman dating older man, older women dating younger men or women getting attracted to already married men, society does not look kindly at the woman in such relationships. Those women are often branded as gold diggers, cougars or the other woman whereas the man in the relationship would be called a ‘stud’ or ‘hero’. While I am not supportive of those ladies who ruin the homes of other woman or those men who leave their wives for younger women I would give the benefit of doubt for those single women in the other categories that they may have been genuinely in love.

Reasons Why some women prefer Older Men for Dating or Marriage
There may be many reasons why a younger woman may prefer to choose an older man. Some of them can be because
- They may be more matured and responsible.
- Older men mostly have established Careers or Business which gives the financial stability and comforts a lady desire.
- Older men tend to be more caring and may pamper her more and also be an authority figure in her life who takes change of things better.
- They are more reliable and disciplined compared to their young counterparts.
- They also seem to be more devoted to their partners and normally do not run around flirting or sleeping around with several women.
- They are more sexually experienced and know to please their partner.
- They are also knowledgeable because of their own experiences about what makes a relationship work and do not commit the mistakes younger men does.
- An Older Man may not possess the energy of his younger counterpart and thereby need not be pleased sexually on a daily basis which most woman consider as a positive thing.
- He also may not want children from you as he might already have some which is definitely a plus for a career oriented woman.
- He is more knowledgeable because of his age and because of this wisdom he can teach her and make her feel more secure and confident.
If it is not his Qualities which make a younger woman drawn to him then may be she is genuinely in love with him. And love is blind, isn’t it? If it is not love that has attracted her to him then may be she is a Gold Digger who is after his money. What do you think?

Very true msorensson.Love is often blind.
its true
It really has to be a two way thing. If neither partner is bothered about the age then the question does not arise. I have dated many people much younger than myself. It has always been a positive experience. There is no shortage of things to talk about, see, do and enjoy together.
Interesting hub. Sometimes age doesn't mean anything.
Older men punch harder! :lol:
Great hub! I think age is irrelevant for the most part.
What might need to be thought of is why a man can completely destroy his family for the sake of a younger woman? The younger woman might be the opportunist, but the older man likes to have a pampered ego with a younger woman on his arm. Just a thought,
Good hub, my friends :)
very interesting article, I think a good reason why woman also might date older men because it's kind of wrong, which makes it fun. Although Im sure some are in love too but I feel like I would just because I could. Not that i am though
it is not that love is blind. love can be felt even when distance is there. it is such a strong feeling that comes unexpectedly.
Well, men are attracted to youth, energy and good health while women are attracted to strength, power and wealth. If an older woman has enough strength, power and wealth to satisfy her own needs, and is also able to project enough energy and good health, she can get herself a younger man. This has been happening for millinea; today's greater awareness of it comes from mass-media.
older guys have more money, success, confidence, and authority. Thats what is attractive, age is overall irelevant.
I am 80 years old and I em happily married since 17 years youngera than me.
What is wrong?
My wife is beautiful and slim; I am really an old man walking with the help of a cane
I can tell you from my own experience that dating a younger woman is a fantastic thing. I am 43 years old and my beautiful and loving girlfriend is 22. I have felt more youthful and energetic ever since we started dating. In fact, I read a scientific study that claimed that dating a younger woman will actually make a man live longer -- and I believe it!
Hi,
Anamika,
Yes, you are right, i have woman friend who is younger than me 20 years, but she and me are enjoying best of our life, she like me so much, as give her all she wants in bed,she gets what she did not had from her hubby.
She is crzy for me.
My husband is older than me but not rich... he works at a department store and I'm starting college.... I love him very much.... he's 37 and I'm 22... but I'm not in love with him anymore due to his insecurities and controlling/possesiveness... I wish I would of stayed with guys my age because I regret getting married to my husband.... he doesn't respect me in many different ways like literally breaking his neck to look at women and almost getting in a car accident because he stares so hard... he does this infront of me all the time... he gets extremely jealous when another guy opens the door for me and starts cussing... I'm now seeking a divorce and a restraining order due to him stalking past ex girlfriends.... all guys are different.... but I will make sure next time to see the signs of a abusive guy and not to ignore them...
money sometimes maturity level
how do Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fit into this. They are pretty much the same age.
@kevinex Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie age difference is 12 years.
Searched Google. My God, I didn't know Bra Pitt is 47 years old. he looks like he is in his 30s.
I've dated an older guy 16 years my senior and it was wonderful and I was genuinely in love with him. Unfortunately he cheated on me but I always treasured the lovely moments we had. Older men are definitely a big attraction to me mainly because of their maturity, sense of responsibility and of course the financial bit is plus.
Younger men are a waste of time, untrustworthy and all they want is sex sex sex (not even making love!)
Nice hub though xx
I would rather first define "older" men. 10 - 12 years of difference is palatable, but anything beyond 20 is repulsive. Especially for a marriage. You may have a fling, a temporary relationship with a parental figure, but for marrying "till death do you part"? No, thank you.
There is a huge problem in the attraction - women who like much older men, old enough to be their fathers, have not matured themselves, they are not adults, they are still children, waiting to be spoiled, pampered, taken care of. Eventually, they will end up babysitting their old men (grandpas) and their bank accounts. And I would not be so sure in these women's fidelity. They can be married to bank accounts and have sex with young studs on the side.
I am simply old enough to know that love is just a word. Too many other considerations are taken into marriages.
A confident woman marrying a much older partner? Yeah, right. Think again. That is why wealthy older women take younger lovers (OK, not lovers, sexual partners) because it is easier. No messing with love, today is one, tomorrow is another. Sex is power, money is power.
When there is such a disparity, look deeper into transaction - the older power buys the younger beauty, stamina, sex, arm candy, you name it.
I don't believe love is blind, lovers are the one that is blind for this is how true love goes. I agree with msorensson physical appearance, characteristics and so on are not important if you really love someone for you are being blind on accepting all of his or her weakness and strength because you love him or her so much.
when god made man and made women i dont think he ever said that you cant love some body older then you or younger then you just love each other or he never said you cant love somebody that is a different color
So wat is the promable if you truly love each other age should not make any different in any way even if somebody eals dont agree. Which in any case is no body business but your own.Rather if they like it or not
Love has no set phenomena..Love is undefined reality of life..Loving elder or younger has no meaning but the only concern is whom u r happy with end of the day?
Your hub is intresting,
Hi People, My problems really weird. I love a guy, he is 6 years older than me. And he has two younger sisters. The problem is, his younger sister is a year older than me. Do you think it can be a problem if i date him? I did not ask him out yet.
Hi I date a bloke 40 years older than me s long as you are happy and over the legal age it shouldnt matter if thats all people have to talk about they have a very sad life themselves, just because you go out with an older guy does not mean you are any different to anyone else inside we still have feelings and a heart and you can't help who you fall in love with, also women my age are having children already well I'm not this man has stood by my wishes to be a lawyer and I do everything people do my age and even more. Age means nothing and doesn't mean you stop being who you really are inside. It's just a number as long as you are legal defo. And I have been very happy repute what people may comment. For 6 years now.
nice hub.. kudos!
i am going to marry a girl who is 20, I am 53. I asked her if it bothered her much that i was so much older than her and she replied. . . I wouldnt have known you were if you hadnt have told me. . . . I love her very much
Still i am unmarried,i would like to married over age man between age gap 15-25,I hope he will be a stable partner for my life.
Love this I did'nt know this was here. Great.
Loved this hub!! Im 23 & dating a 35 year old man..his the only one ive ever imagined getting married too. Godwillingly thats a sign ;)
Nice Hub!!
My past of dating one older man has come back to haunt me. I am married to a younger man, now he doesnt want to be with me because he just found out that I dated a man 22 years older than me. I love this man with all my heart, but it seems he keeps letting my past define our relationship and the type of person I am now. That was5 years ago. I do not know what to do, any suggestions?
Love is blind...my butt. Imagine kissing hugh heffner with all the wrinkles and the overactive salivary gland.come on, you are young for a reason!anything more than four years turns me OFF!I CANT go with a guy 1 sec younger than or twice as rich as i am.
I read so many stupid articles written by people who want to promote and sell their own intentions. People who marry older people like celebrities also divorce mostly and get out of those relationships after a while. The good things about them is that they can, they are famous, wealthy and don't care about fitting into society norms much. For-example Men over 40s divorced and with kid try dating young girls in their 20s is a bit creepy and indecent. They should rather marry someone who is also divorced with/without kid to help each other’s pain rather than adding pain to a younger single individual and making their life hell. Now I say we are not living in dark ages any more where old men were the only bread winner and the women was treated badly and had less social and economic status, hence they had to rely on old partners who were wealthier and put up with their controlling and more experience in life attitude. In order to build a best relationship you need to be able to do many thing together and no matter how older individual (normally over 10+ years age gap) try, there is bound to be energy level, interests, life experience differences and then raising kids for-example...You also need to be realistic as to how long a person would keep on (or willing to be) pushing child pram for you in his 40s around the malls. Best live the age you are at and enjoy most of it. You are young for a reason....shift the balance too much here and there and you may feel empty and lonely sometime, when all your friends are married and living their own life and you stuck with someone significant old partner and his society.
i was on a public transit bus one day, and this underage girl got on the bus and walk to the back where i was sitting, and sat down close to me. and i got the courage to ask her why do girls your age like dating older men. and she reply because guys her are verbally and physically abusive, to girls her age. and she also said she likes older guys because they are nice and sweet.
Women like to have a good male figure heading their households. Women want to be loved and desired by a good man. Women love strong men who know how to be leaders, husbands, fathers, and providers. A good woman wants a man who knows that she is a woman. Good women are willing to work to help their providers. Women like having a well-rounded family and a happy, safe home with kids who look like mom and dad and foreparents. Every normal married woman craves such a life with a mature man. Wives want settled and faithful husbands. Even though they may not get all of these, they have a better chance of getting them from older men than younger, who may not be as mature. If there are no skeletons in their closets, like wronging a previous spouse or breaking up a home, who could ask for more?
Like anything else, there are always disadvantages to marrying a significantly older spouse: short marriage due to death of the aged, problem sharing spouse with children from previous marriage, guilt that destroys the relationship due to previous marriage drama, distrust of spouse because he/she cheated with him/her to build their relationship, regret if real love is discovered to be absent, younger spouse cheating if not sexually satisfied with older spouse, or possible decline in romance due to aging if a medical condition prevents the use of sex enhancers if they are desired.
Oh, forgot! If you marry an older person who soon tells you that he does not want to socialize with your young friends because it makes him feel uncomfortable, or if he tells you that he is tired of doing things because he does not have your energy, be ready to deal with it. I have seen all of the attitudes I wrote in this and a previous post. This is not to make anyone feel down. It happens, and young spouses need to be aware before they are met with it without warning. I suppose true love like anything else is a chance. All young people are not as mature as they think. Sometimes experience lets them know.
I am currently dating someone who is 33 while I am 20. I am still in college while he works as a highly decorated Firefighter at West Point and received medals from helping in 9/11. Our relationship is based on love and respect for each other. Because one is older than the other does not mean maturity and chivalry have gone out the window. My advise to anyone is not to let society tell you dating an older man (within reason) is wrong. I'd like to pose a question to everyone : Some friends, and my parents are unwelcoming to my dating him. Is our age difference really so big and wrong?
The mind does not perceive age! The mind sees potential and possibilities. If the mind can see happiness in a younger relationship that is all that it takes in order to create an enviroment of love, respect and understanding!!!

Hi, Anamika,
I don't think age plays a part when you are really in love and neither does color, economic status, etc..etc...
Much love,
Melinda
