Advice: Dating an Older Man

 

By Sparticus

If Mrs. Robinson was out with the freshman, who was Mr. Robinson with? Obviously, if you’re looking for advice about dating an older man, you have some idea of the possibilities. The younger woman / older man combination is a classic. And now, with the help of online dating sites, it’s easier to reach out and touch a man more attune to your desires. I hate to generalize, but that’s what this article is about. Take these words with a grain of salt, and open your mind to the possibility of dating an older man.

 

It can be easy to see why some women prefer to date older men. Younger guys are just coming into their own, unsure and uncertain about life, despite how much they swear they’re not. They can be inexperienced in the bedroom and hungry to put notches in their belt, some with little regard to any relationships they’re currently entertaining. Career paths aren’t as defined, nor their bank accounts. Dating a younger man has drawbacks that many older men don’t share.

Dating an older man comes with benefits.
Maturity is certainly one of the biggest and more obvious factors. Mature men tend to know themselves a little better than younger boys. They typically aren’t as sexually motivated, either, but that doesn’t mean lovemaking suffers. They can be mature between the sheets, too, knowing more and taking a different approach to pleasure. Older men are more established and farther along in their careers, and security is a nice benefit of tying yourself to a steady life. If you find the right older man, a big helping of bliss could be in your future!

 

"They typically aren’t as sexually motivated, either, but that doesn’t mean lovemaking suffers."

Do stay cool
Burt Reynolds and a 19-years-older Dinah Shore made waves in the ‘70s when word broke that they were an item, and 30 years later the public still goes slack-jawed over Ashton and Demi—proving that the older woman-younger man relationship may be the last taboo in dating. And the uncomprehending responses aren’t confined only to Hollywood love lives. You’ll have to deal with looks and remarks from friends, family, and even strangers. “Don’t date an older woman if you can’t handle that attention,” advises Gibson. But if you’re deft, you’ll not only cope, you’ll impress your lady with your maturity and charm. That stodgy couple one table over insists on gawking? Turn, smile, and smoothly say, “I don’t blame you for staring. She’s beautiful, isn’t she?”

So, now that you’ve set your sites on dating an older man, the questions becomes where and how to find them. You can wander down to any local pub and announce that you’re looking for a mature man. I can just hear the bar stools creaking as they’re pushed back and a fine group of heavy-set, 30 to 50-year-olds come waddling your way. Hey, even Herbert’s there and he’s 78 – what a great old guy! Not quite what you were thinking? No worries. We have online dating!

 

If you’re looking for a really older man, you might want to consider sites that specifically speak to a target demographic. At AgeMatch.com, there are a couple of choices to consider. Having surfed the sites myself, I know that not every man on there belongs in the age category, so you could find someone you like even if you are aiming a little lower on the age scale. Otherwise, just about any dating site will do. I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a man who won’t consider going out with a younger woman but you’ll want to make sure your lines of communication are open just the same. That means be open about what you’re looking for and hopefully they’ll be honest with you. In the end, a cup of coffee and some decent conversation never killed anyone, so what do you have to lose?
