George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. There\u2019s no mistake that older men have a thing for dating younger women. But if you\u2019re an older man who doesn’t give an older woman, or a woman who is the same age as you, a second glance, then you are seriously missing out. Dating an older woman can show you that you have more in common with them than you realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve been dating younger women for a while and something just seems off, here are a few reasons why a woman your own age or older could be a better fit for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. She can laugh at herself.<\/strong> 2. She\u2019s strong.<\/strong> 3. You have more in common.<\/strong> 4. She\u2019s got your back.<\/strong> 5. She doesn\u2019t need saving.<\/strong> 6. She has time for you.<\/strong> 7. She can grow old with you.<\/strong> Undoubtedly a younger woman might seem more attractive, but if you were to date an older woman, you might discover that they\u2019re on similar page as you, which will make romance, passion, and commitment a whole lot easier and way more exciting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re not connecting with your dates, it may be time to try dating someone older. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":14218,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[885,975,979],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dating-advice-men","category-dating-in-your-40s","category-over-50-dating"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nAn older woman generally has more confidence. She no longer lives with the insecurities that plagued her in her twenties and thirties. Now she\u2019s so comfortable within her own skin that she\u2019s able to poke fun at herself and roll with whatever life brings her way. The bonus of being with someone who\u2019s totally comfortable with herself? She instantly makes you comfortable to be yourself too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAn older woman has led a full life, and that includes many trials and tribulations, which have undoubtedly made her stronger. Whether she\u2019s held her own in the workplace or held her head high after a tumultuous breakup, an older woman comes with the inner strength that makes for a rock-solid partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nA woman who’s from your same generation will understand you in a way that someone younger just can’t. If you\u2019ve been married before and\/or have children, an older woman most likely has experienced the same or similar, and can relate to your family background. Plus, because you\u2019re the same age, she\u2019ll get your pop cultural references and remember songs and movies from your era that won\u2019t make you feel, well, old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAn older woman has a tightknit group of best friends that have experienced life and all of its up and downs together. With the drama of their younger years behind them, her friendships are borderline family now. The trust and emotional-intimacy building skills that she’s developed with her friends easily transfers to her relationship with you. Simply put: she can be both your lover and your best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMost likely, an older woman is financially stable, and isn\u2019t looking for a sugar daddy. She can, literally, afford to be selective about whom she chooses to spend time with. You don\u2019t have to worry about saving an older woman from distress, either emotionally or financially. If an older woman is actively dating you, it\u2019s because she enjoys you, not your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBecause she’s already climbed the corporate ladder and\/or no longer hears the ticking of a biological clock, an older woman has the time to devote more energy to a relationship. Because she doesn\u2019t have to answer to little ones or worry about breaking the glass ceiling, she’s open to new adventures and enjoying life with just you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nLet\u2019s be honest: as we age, our bodies change. In the past you might have been embarrassed to show your graying hair, wrinkles, or expanding girth to a younger woman. An older woman, on the other hand, totally understands what you\u2019re going through because she’s undergoing major changes herself. The two of you can weather the aging process, while learning and laughing through it, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
