You may be the type of person who is open to many possibilities and because of that carefree, nonchalant attitude, it may work for you or against you depending on the kind of older person you choose to date.
Similarly, some older men would never dream of dating a younger girl, while many love idea of being wild and free. This article explores the advantages of dating older men.
- He’s probably more financially secure
Not that women seeking older men are gold diggers – but it is always nice to have financial security. An older man is likely more established in his career and may have a bigger nest egg, which is great for a future family.
- Your sex life will be better
It is a big generalisation to announce that all older men are better at sex – but the chances are, a man in his 40s or 50s will have a lot more experience in the bedroom and will know what to do.
- He’s more willing to settle down
An older man who is well into adulthood is more likely to have kids and marriage on his radar. A man in his 40s is far more likely to know what he wants and settle down than a 25-year-old. If you’re ready to settle down and build a life, a man in their sunset years is probably the way to go.
- He will fight for you
A man in his twilight years of dating is not likely to give up easily if he finds a woman he wants. If you date an older man and the going gets tough, expect him to put up more of a fight! When he knows what he wants, he goes for it.
- He’ll get along with your parents
Your older beau will be closer in age to your parents than you are, so the conversations will be flowing if they ever get the chance to meet. Parents will probably approve of a silver-haired fox with a respectful attitude and great career too!
