Why Men Want Older Women

I remember a friend back in high school. We were both sophomores then. He had a girlfriend who was older than we were and was already in her third year at college. Every time he brought his girlfriend along with us or to school events, other guys who knew him would stare at him in awe. His girl friends, myself included, initially reacted with "Really?" and "How did he do that?"

Nowadays, the older woman-younger man relationship is not that uncommon and less frowned upon by society than it was before. What is it about older women men years younger than they are find attractive?

One possible reason: Older women are hotter than ever before. We are talking about physically and mentally hotter here. Women nowadays are less scared to grow old and do so with grace, confidence, and style. A lot more women are into taking care of their bodies better, living healthy and keeping fit. Styles in clothes, hair, and make up have also improved tremendously. They have chucked the notion that women are over and done with as soon as you reach a certain age. Women have more self-assurance and maturity that many men find more attractive. They are intelligent, more accomplished, and have gone through more life experiences than those younger, making them more knowledgeable and more interesting, especially when it comes to meaningful conversations.

Older women have less drama in their lives. These women are already at the point in their lives being financially and mentally independent from family and friends. Men who are looking for a serious relationship find that younger women are too immature for them. There is less competition and interference from an older woman's family and less friends to deal with and try to get along with. As women grow older, they tend to narrow down the number of friends they keep, limiting to those few they know are true and lasting friends. Since they are independent and mature, older women tend to give the man room in the relationship to be his own person. She understands why you need a boy's night out. She is less clingy and does not need attention all the time.

Older women know who they are and what they want. There are no mixed signals anymore, no more guessing games, no time wasted. Older women, having played the field already, know what they want out of a relationship and they tend to be clear with this from the start. In addition, since they have the experience and knowledge, they know how to make a relationship work and last, and what mistakes to avoid.

For the men, on the other hand, being with an older woman is a sign of conquest, a definite plus factor. It gives the impression that the man has made it to the level of "man" that would make an older woman acknowledge it and would want to be with him. It is like being given a very high compliment.
