11 Men Reveal Why The Prefer Dating Older Women

“The communication. An older woman that can communicate well will cut through the bullshit and get straight to what she wants and expects. It’s refreshing as hell.” — Fresh-Grab-8005

“Maturity. It’s night and day. Most older women actually have their lives together and don’t play the childish game of validation.” — Cactus_Pear94

“Generally they are way less shy in the bedroom in terms of asking for what they want and willingness to try new things.” — Bravely_Default

“Money is a huge issue in relationships. Generally, older people are more financially established.” — badchad65

“To me, what stands out and what is so attractive about older women is a life perspective. I feel like when you’re young, dating someone for five years can be upwards of 20% of your life. Don’t get me wrong, it’s always a big deal to break up with someone you’ve been with for that long, but the important thing is having experiences outside of being that couple. I’ve lived several different lives and I’m only 25. It’s so fascinating to learn about different perspectives, because that’s how you grow as a person. Anyway, I think that’s probably the biggest thing, to me.” — dm_me_a_smile

“They generally don’t fuck around like younger people do. They know what they want, and don’t have any problems letting you know what that is.” — JustSome70sGuy

“Most of them have their shit together and have their own lives. They’re looking for a partner, not a provider. They’re independent, emotionally mature, and generally more capable (both in and out of the bedroom).” — ComesInAnOldBox

“More life experience: Older women have had more time to accumulate life experience, which can translate into greater wisdom, insight, and emotional maturity. Also, confidence and independence: Older women are often more confident and independent than younger women, which can be attractive to some men.” — hotmomkaia

“I’ve been with a few older women, I have also dated women of a closer age. In my personal experience I will say that older women communicate much more, don’t have unrealistic standards, they have a lot more experience both in life and the bedroom. The biggest one of all is that older women are just super hot!” — MuscleMummy

“She has her own hobbies. Women my age don’t do much but sit on their phone and worry about what I’m up to 24/7. It’s exhausting. Being in a relationship does not have to become your entire personality due to your lack of one beforehand. You can do your own thing. Dating a woman that’s 16 years older than me means she’s got her own shit to worry about, and doesn’t sit there and obsess over the little shit.” — FallenFae

“Depends what you are after but I found that there was less pressure of ‘is this going to be long term’ as you both have realistic expectations up front and know that will not change. Generally because of that, I found there was never any drama and just honest conversations. With one, she would actually talk about what sort of woman she saw me ending up with one day. No jealousy, just an understanding that we were enjoying each other’s company for now.” — Working_Turn_6625
