Why some younger men are drawn to older women

The younger men that are attracted to older women are men that don't want to play head games or have drama in their lives. They know what they want and the seasoned older woman does too. They seem to have a lot in common because they want the same things and there is no pretending needed. An older woman is more confident in herself, she knows how to please a man both emotionally and physically because she is experienced in relationships. A younger man doesn't have to figure anything out with her. She will tell him exactly how it is and how she wants it, so there is no time spent on wining and dining and drama. She is what she is at face value.

For example, an older woman has her life together and doesn't need to depend on a man for financial support or anything else. So that makes the younger man feel as though that part of his life is not something she expects anything out of. She doesn't need him in that department and impressing her with his money won't matter one way or the other. That's a big deal to a man with money. He knows that isn't why she is there.

An older woman is experienced in the dating game, so she knows how to behave around men. There is a comfort level there with an older woman because she knows men well enough and they feel at ease being with her. That takes away the guesswork for a guy who may not be that experienced to begin with. All he has to do is lie back and enjoy. And that could be taken literally.

But not all older women are like Mrs. Robinson. Some may not be that experienced and just because she is older doesn't necessarily mean she knows more than he does. She may have been a late bloomer, so the younger man should really be careful to know the difference here.

Another thing an older woman has is conversation. She just knows more about life, so she has more to talk about. She has seen more in her life, and with all of that experience behind her, of course there will be more to say and even learn.

And let's not forget children. An older woman that doesn't have small children anymore may actually be a big deal to some younger men who may not want children in their lives at all. This is attractive because the older woman is most likely alone, without an instant family, less issues, less drama to bother with.

There is something to be said about a younger man who wants an older woman or only seeks out older women. They are men that feel comfortable enough in their own sexuality to actually take on the chance they may be emasculated by a woman who might have more experience than he does. If the fear of being overpowered is something that doesn't bother him, then he can probably handle his own. Unless he is mooching off of her so he doesn't have to work. Let's not bring them into this.

This is about younger men that are drawn to older women because they want to and there are so many reasons. They are beautiful, strong, independent, secure, confident, intelligent and downright sexy. Nuf' said.
