Women and marriage to older men! Older men are more distinguished and seem to have a better handle on life in general. An older man loves the attention younger women gives to them. When they get to be middle aged, or older they start to doubt themselves and wonder if they are still attractive to the opposite sex. Their ego is very fragile during this transition in their lives.

They love to make their partner feel love and cherished, so they frequently buy them gifts and lavish them with a lot of affection. Being I'm a woman in a relationship with an older man I can attest to the fact that having an older man love you can be wonderful. They are genuinely very responsive, and are able to thrive off of a younger woman's attention. It fulfills a primal need that they may have. The more you feed the need, the better they are too you.

I think that's why some older men have affairs, the marriage is going along, the wife is miserable with life in general, she's not giving her husband the compliments that she did years ago, their sex life is nonexistent. Someone innocently comes along, just being friendly, making conversation, smiling as if they enjoy their company. The next thing that happens is the one conversation turns into many, a true friendship begins, the man suddenly feels empowered and conversation takes a different turn. They meet for lunch, take a walk in the park, and then boom it's turned into something much more than a general conversation. How long it lasts depends on the circumstances.

Some men ends it before it gets started, they just want to know if they've still got what it takes to get a woman. For many it's just a game. In my case they marry you, and you are the luckiest woman alive. You are loved unconditionally; you are cherished every moment of every day. Waking up the morning is like a dream come true. He serves you breakfast in bed. On the weekends you have a surprise trip, and are taken to the mountains to a lodge where you make love all weekend. You sit in the hot tub sipping wine while watching the big luscious snowflakes falling from the sky while listening to your favorite music. A roaring fire is burning in the fireplace. The bear skin rug just waiting to be laid on.

There is nothing that makes an older man happier than to be able to take care of and provide a stable home environment. So being married to an older man was the best thing that ever happened to me. The next time an older man asks you out, go for it girl friend!
