Why Do Men Want Older Lovers?

The classic relationship between older woman and younger man has gone from being a taboo to becoming a normal part of the modern day dating scene. But why exactly do men choose to date older lovers, or if you are a would-be toy boy, why should you take to the scene with gusto?

Her life is her own

Whilst dating women your own age may entail a set path of date, move in, marriage and babies, it’s important to remember that it’s likely that your older woman has been there, done that, and probably doesn’t want to do it again! When dating an older woman, she has her own life and she simply won’t have the time to entertain you around the clock.

The fact that she has her own life to lead means that you’ll have plenty to talk about over dinner and conversations are generally much more interesting all-round.

They know what they want

Thanks to age, things become a lot clearer in all aspects of your life, especially in the relationship department. Older women have a better understanding of themselves, their emotions and what they want from each relationship they embark on, which is particularly empowering. You’ll find that older women get straight to the point and if something was to go wrong along the way they have the maturity to resolve it. That’s why making a relationship work, whatever the age-gap, is possible.

Stronger in life and love

This better understanding of the world and the way relationships work certainly goes a long way and as a result many older women are particularly passionate. Whilst this thoughtfulness and caring nature is often confused with mothering, their stronger love for life is something that younger women simply can’t comprehend.

Another plus point that comes with increased life experience is that older women are generally better in bed. After all sex isn’t like riding a bike, it takes practice meaning you may just learn a few things!

Cougars look after themselves

Cougar and toy boy relationships have become more common probably because it is much more difficult to spot an age-gap couple. Older women look after themselves these days and with a healthy diet and a bit of exercise, older women are rolling back the years. Yes 50 is the new 30, and with this many older women want and deserve a younger man on their arm!
