More Younger Women Dating Older Men
29 12 2009Why Are Young Women Dating Older Men?
When a superstar older man gets together with a young model or starlet, it makes the news, but doesn’t come as a surprise. But when we see young women dating older men in our city streets, it is the subject of intense gossip. There must be a lot of gossip going around, because it’s happening more and more often.
We humans think in stereotypes. Unfortunately, our stereotypes are reinforced by the media and the media rarely informs or enlightens us, but generally just tells us what we want to hear. So many women these days are choosing older men as dates, the old “gold digger and dirty old man” stereotypes just don’t hold water anymore.
If a newspaper columnist actually went to the trouble of interviewing real people, he might come up with some surprising answers. One of the many reasons why women cite a preference for older men is because they are more mature. They like that stabilizing influence and he satisfies deeper longings for real communication than the young men she has dated could satisfy.
Brad Pitt has been voted “Sexiest man in the world” more times than anybody else. The amazing thing about this is that Brad Pitt is no longer young, but his status as a sex symbol has only grown as he has matured. It may be a hard pill to swallow, but men do seem to grow more attractive with age.
The most prevalent myth about young women dating older men is that they are after their money. The trouble is, many of these men have been through a divorce and have few assets left anymore. What’s more, they’ve reached and past their earnings peak, while young men are just getting started. If it’s wealth a young woman is after in an older man, it’s the wealth of an older man’s experience that’s the attraction.
Whatever the reasons, and there are many, the phenomenon of young women dating older men is growing, so we may as well get used to it. Maybe you younger men are going to have to lift your game if you want to compete!
