Now before I begin, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with a guy dating a woman a few years older than him and the older he gets, the less odd this becomes, i.e. a 40 year old dating a 43 year old is a bit different from a 16 year old dating a 19 year old. And while I really don&#8217;t care if Macron marries someone his mother&#8217;s age, let&#8217;s not pretend it&#8217;s very common. Here goes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Confidence:\u00a0The most appealing trait in anyone is self-confidence. Many older women have developed their own sense of style, and after years of growth both mentally and physically they\u2019re comfortable in their own skin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Firstly, this isn&#8217;t true. There are plenty of middle-aged women out there who are emotional wrecks, endlessly seeking validation in one form or another. Secondly, of those that are confident, many express it by being a complete ball-breaking bitch. Hardly what men are looking for, is it?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Frequently she\u2019s financially independent and streetwise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Women who date much younger men are streetwise, eh? And often they&#8217;re financially independent because they&#8217;ve cleaned out some poor sod in a divorce.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Younger men want to be with her because of the positive energy she emits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unlike twenty-two year old women who are just down on everything, I suppose.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Her self-assurance will have a reciprocal effect on the man too. He\u2019ll gain maturity by being in the relationship. This will help build his character and make him feel good about himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It sounds as though sonny-boy is missing his mother.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Knowledge about sex and life.\u00a0Older women have years of sexual experience with men of all ages. She\u2019s had a lot of practice whether it was with multiple partners or one man. Being with a woman who can teach the younger guy a few new tricks is extremely alluring, especially to those who haven\u2019t had many partners or experiences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sorry, is he after a girlfriend or a whore for the night? It is a myth that men are impressed by women who are filthy in bed in the early stages of a relationship. Contrary to the opinions of the buffoon writing this piece, having had &#8220;practice with multiple partners&#8221; is generally not considered an attractive quality in a woman. What men want is a woman who has <em>some<\/em> experience, but wants to learn more &#8211; with him. If a man can find a woman who is fairly innocent and train her up to be a rampaging slut in the bedroom but only with him &#8211; that&#8217;s marriage material.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The older woman knows her own body and what turns her on. She has the owner\u2019s manual and shares it willingly with her partners. She\u2019s self-aware and knows what she wants in and out of the bedroom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because mutual sexual explorations are so boring, aren&#8217;t they? Better to find a woman who knows exactly what she wants &#8211; and doesn&#8217;t want to do.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>No game playing.\u00a0Older women are done playing games. They are straight shooters and will be honest about what they want in the relationship and what they won\u2019t accept.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Which is why they&#8217;re still single and trawling the internet for younger men.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0They will demand respect from the younger man because they respect themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nothing says a woman respects herself more than demanding respect from a lover half her age.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Typically the younger guy won\u2019t need to worry about pregnancy prevention since the older woman will be equally concerned having already had her own children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leaving aside that she&#8217;s also probably incapable now anyway, I find that she has children of her own amusing. I wonder what they think of ma&#8217;s new boyfriend?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Communication.\u00a0A younger less experienced woman may worry that if she shares her desires, she may lose the man. She may be embarrassed to tell a guy what turns her on sexually.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most guys have a lot of fun finding this out rather than waiting to be told.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The older woman won\u2019t shy away from offering advice on personal hygiene. She\u2019ll encourage him to dress like a man \u2013 not a boy. This will spill over into other areas of his life, as he gets encouragement from people about his \u201cnew look.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Handy for those men who are used to their mothers dressing them, I suppose.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The younger man can be free to be himself with an older woman. He won\u2019t need to impress her with a fake bravado the way he might think a younger woman would expect. He\u2019s with the older woman for companionship and sex without worrying that she wants something more \u2013 like marriage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh yeah? What&#8217;s the woman&#8217;s view on this?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He feels nurtured and cared for by her, and doesn\u2019t feel the demands of taking care of the younger more \u201cneedy\u201d girl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some Oedipus stuff going on here, isn&#8217;t there?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He can be with her when he wants and their aren\u2019t any obligations other than to have fun. Once the relationship is over, the resulting friendship may continue to last throughout their lifetimes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, I bet Mrs Robinson just loves that! <em>&#8220;Sorry love, I&#8217;m here just to have fun (and for you to do my laundry), but we can be friends when it&#8217;s over!&#8221; <\/em>A minute ago we were told she respects herself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The younger guy may receive a great ego boost knowing that a hot older woman finds him desirable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a substitute for hot young women finding him desirable? Erm, no.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The older woman will come to expect a certain amount of emotional maturity, which if achieved, will have a great effect on the younger man\u2019s confidence with all women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I doubt it: he&#8217;s spent the whole time being spoon-fed in the bedroom and told how to dress.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>His friends may originally question the relationship but ultimately envy him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This may be true, but is dependent on his sharing the sex stories and the arrangement being very short-lived. Meaning a month, tops.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some guys may end up finding their life partner in the older woman, whereas others may move on to be with women their own age or younger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leaving the older woman to die alone with her cats. Funny that these financially secure, confident, worldly-wise older women won&#8217;t be able to see a flaky younger man coming, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this was <a href=\"https:\/\/swingtowns.com\/blog\/author\/karenlee-poter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">written<\/a> by an older woman, one who clearly hasn&#8217;t got a clue about men. In her defence she is a widow, so didn&#8217;t choose to be in this situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via a polyamorous community on Twitter I found this article on why younger men love older women.
