Got a younger man on your radar but are a bit concerned by the age gap? Here is why you should throw caution to the wind and just go for it.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve all heard our friends say it: \u201cI just don\u2019t get along with guys my own age. They\u2019re just not mature enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Usually, though, they\u2019re talking about dating older men.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always been cool for older men to date younger girls. But whenever older women want to date younger men, it\u2019s as though the world has ended.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?! You can\u2019t do THAT!!\u201d<\/p>\n
But why not? Young men are exciting. They\u2019re full of energy. They don\u2019t want to take naps every two hours, and they\u2019re wiling to be spontaneous. They\u2019re up for an adventure. They\u2019re FUN.<\/p>\n
Why shouldn\u2019t we date younger men? Because society would shake its head? Because our friend would tell us to \u201cget real\u201d before introducing to their friend Herbert from the church who is balding and likes slippers?<\/p>\n
When there\u2019s a connection, that\u2019s all that really matters. Here are 10 reasons it\u2019s okay to date a younger guy:<\/p>\n
You have experience<\/b><\/p>\n
The older you get, the more experience you have. Unfortunately, when you meet older men that are a similar age to you, they tend to view this experience as \u201cbaggage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not so younger men. Instead, they\u2019re enthralled and fascinated by your experience. It\u2019s part of your charm. You\u2019ve lived a life they can but yet dream about, and they want you to teach them things.<\/p>\n
From the books you\u2019ve read to the places you\u2019ve visited, you\u2019ve got lots of stories to tell the younger generation. And they won\u2019t be bored by them \u2013 heck, they want you to tell them these stories and give them advice.<\/p>\n
Because young guys can be more mature than older guys<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s funny. When you tell someone that you\u2019re dating a younger guy, the first thing they always bring up is both your ages.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re both so much younger than each other. Have you never thought of dating Bill from across the park?\u201d<\/p>\n
However, you know that, while Bill is your age, he\u2019s much more immature than the guy you\u2019ve just started dating.<\/p>\n
People always love to compare ages, as though it\u2019s a measure of taste, maturity and so on. But the reality is that a lot of younger guys are a lot more mature than older guys.<\/p>\n
Just because we\u2019re older doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re any more mature. There is no correlation between age and maturity \u2013 none at all. Shake this from your head and you\u2019ll be more open to dating younger men.<\/p>\n
Your chances of conceiving might improve<\/b><\/p>\n
Research has shown that young men boost your fertility.<\/p>\n
Because they\u2019re open minded<\/b><\/p>\n
Obviously not every younger guy you come across will be open to dating an older woman. But many younger guys are more open than you might expect.<\/p>\n
In fact, according to this article young men simply can\u2019t stop chasing older women.<\/p>\n
So by making yourself available to younger men, you\u2019d be doing them a big favour!<\/p>\n
\u00a0It\u2019s sexist to think that it isn’t okay to date younger men\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
When someone (a guy) tells you that you really shouldn\u2019t date younger men, it\u2019s usually because they\u2019re either jealous or a bit (a lot) sexist.<\/p>\n
Instead, we\u2019re encouraged to date older guys because they\u2019re financially stable and have good jobs, lots of contacts and will take us on lots of vacations. Yay! It\u2019s a status symbol thing, and we\u2019re supposed to be thankful that we\u2019ve been allowed into this older guy world.<\/p>\n
Conversely, we\u2019re told that all younger guys are spotty, gawky, immature hipsters who are too lazy to get a job. It\u2019s just a stereotype. Ignore it.<\/p>\n
Young guys are supportive\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The older we get, the more we relinquish our dreams. This certainly happens to guys who seem to get grumpier as we get older.<\/p>\n
Ever met an older man who tells you not to chase your dream and to get real? It\u2019s because they think the dreams have automatically passed us by once we reach a certain age.<\/p>\n
But the older guys are projecting. Just because they think the boat has sailed for them, they tell you to quit dreaming, too.<\/p>\n
Younger guys don\u2019t do this. They\u2019ve got their whole life in front of them, and they\u2019re still chasing dreams. And they\u2019ll encourage you to chase yours, too.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve still got a big dream that you\u2019re harbouring, a young guy will encourage and not discourage you.<\/p>\n
Because young guys are ready to commit<\/b><\/p>\n
Getting any guy to commit is a difficult task. It certainly isn\u2019t just young men who find it hard to commit 100% to a woman \u2013 it\u2019s also older men.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t let the worry that younger men aren\u2019t ready for a serious relationship put you off. They\u2019re ready indeed.<\/p>\n
Friendship transcends age\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
You see friendship transcending age all the time in the movies. In the film The BFG, no one even seems to think it\u2019s at all weird that an old man becomes a young girls best friend (probably because he\u2019s also a giant who lives in a strange world populated by other giants \u2013 his age is definitely the last thing we\u2019re worried about!).<\/p>\n
But the point still stands. Friendship transcends age. If you have a connection with someone, you have a connection with them. And that\u2019s really all that matters. Age shouldn\u2019t be an issue. If he likes you, then why not go for it?<\/p>\n
They’ll get older\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Sure, they\u2019re young now and people might raise eyebrows. But in ten years time? There won\u2019t be as many eyebrows raised because he\u2019ll have been older himself.<\/p>\n
Young guys don\u2019t stay young forever!<\/p>\n
They might fulfill your needs<\/b><\/p>\n
We all have relationship needs, and perhaps lately you may have found that the older men you\u2019ve been dating haven\u2019t been fulfilling them. So why not turn to younger guys?<\/p>\n
Younger guys have relationship needs just like you, and it may transpire that you meet a guy who\u2019s needs match yours. What you need, he can satisfy. And what he needs, you can satisfy, too. So where\u2019s the problem?<\/p>\n
