Guide for Older Guys Dating Younger Women

Dating women who are much younger than you can be a very daunting challenge.  If you are dating women who are under the age of 25 and you are 7 or more years older than she is, you need to read this article on dating younger women.

There is a stereotype that women who date older men are gold diggers.  But, this applies to very small percentage of women.  Actually, many young women are just out to have a good time.  They are not looking for marriage and some are not even looking for a permanent relationship.  If you happen to be attracted to a younger woman, it may be a good idea to play into this “good time image.”

Younger women are usually more whimsical, flirty, passionate, and romantic than their older sisters.  They’re less ready to settle down and have children.  You will get a lot of mileage out of having a youthful outlook.  Being recklessly spontaneous, maintaining a high level of energy, and focusing on the emotional connections will go a long way in helping you with dating young women.

To this end, it is imperative that you not come across as someone who is emotionally needy when dating younger women.  For instance, if you were dating a woman near your own age, you would pick up the phone every time she called.  You might return her text within 5 minutes.  A younger woman doesn’t need this kind of intensity.  You can wait to return a text or let a call go to voice mail.

Many men who are dating younger women are conscious of the age difference and are insecure about being older.  Don’t let this be you. This will only serve to hasten a break up, assuming one might be pending.  Don’t bring up the issue of age unless she does.  Also, don’t make cracks about her youth or about “cradle snatching.”  Don’t refer to yourself as her “daddy.”  When you are unfazed about the age difference, she will be too.

As an older man, you have several advantages over the frat boys she may be used to dating.

You are mature. You have more experience.  You are interested in things beyond the latest video game release.  You probably make more money and can take her to more upscale places. At the very least, this will make you interesting if she has never dated older men before.

You are also more sexually sophisticated.  You will know how to satisfy her in bed and be more in tune with her needs.

Men are said to mature more slowly than women, which may be why so many young women look to date older men.  They are looking for someone to connect with in their same range of emotional development.

Dating younger women isn’t just a modern thing either.  In every society across all time, there has been a gap in the average age of coupling men and women.  While in the United States right now, that gap is a mere 2 years, in many societies that gap ranges from an average of 5 to 15 years.

If you are interested in dating young women be aware that there are challenges posed because of societal expectations and conditioning.
However, there are many advantages to dating young women. Enjoy it!
