Dating an older woman is quite the rage these days and it’s nothing new. This is actually been going on for a couple of decades now. The reasons are varied as to why this has become a trend. The main reason is that the majority of older women have different expectations of dating and relationships than younger women. It’s time that men start realizing the benefits of dating older women. Here are 5 reasons why older women are all the rage at the moment:

1. A new experience

A man in his 30s who dates an older woman will go through an enriching life changing experience. Your average 20something woman is energetic, ambitious and out to get things done. Now you take a woman in her 40s, 50s, chances are she’s lived a little more. She’s learned that the world is not all it was cracked to be. She has more time to teach you about your own and women’s pleasures. You waste no time and effort to learn what a woman really wants. You are more likely to come out of this relationship as a great lover.

2. Looking for a good time

Older women got their own life; friends, career, and money and they are not looking for a new suitor. They aren’t out to play mind games to figure the man out. Majority of these women have been married before and have come to realise that the fairy tale “Happy forever” doesn’t live up to the hype and reality is very different. Dating for an older woman is often more about enjoying their independence, discovering their sexuality, their freedom and newfound confidence, having fun and good times.

3. Fifty is the new 30s

A fifty-year-old woman in the 1960s era was often seen as a matronly woman, whose sense of being was expressed through her power and control of the household. They perceived themselves as being too old to wear bikinis, mini skirts, high heels, and hitting the club scene. Times have changed.

Women in their 40s and 50s today don’t look like women from previous eras at the same age. Just look at Elle MacPherson who can sport a bikini better than most 20something can. Look at Halle Berry (48), Sandra Bullock (50), Jennifer Lopez (45), Vanessa Williams (51) and Christie Brinkley (60) and Raquel Welch (74) is still turning men’s heads! And it’s not just celebrities who look good! At your local gym you’ve seen women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and more working out.

Today looking old is a choice and lots of women are choosing not to. There have been dramatic breakthroughs in plastic surgery options, Botox injections, spider vein/varicose vein treatments, and chemical peels. There is awareness for better health and fitness. Women are looking younger as a result of maintaining a better healthier lifestyle and choosing to fine tune their bodies and appearance through their own efforts and some help from technology and scientific advances. Admittedly, we live in a great era.

4. Uncomplicated sex

Often older women are more sexually confident and open-minded than their younger counterparts. They are not going to use sex as a bargaining tool to influence the course of a relationship. They also don’t confuse sex with love. Older women have sex because they want to give and receive pleasure. A large number of women report becoming more orgasmic with age.

Women at this age are ready and willing to be ravaged, to give and receive pleasure without any hidden agenda, therefore, making this match, a match made in heaven. They are not afraid to ask for what they want in the bedroom. Go ahead try and shock her. Bondage? Bisexual encounters? Role-play? If she hasn’t already tried it she certainly has considered it.

Older women may find it stimulating to be with a younger man who can go more than once in a night. Chances are he’ll also be open to listening to how she likes things done and in return she’ll return the favour.

5. Hassle free breakups

Last, older women know from the onset that this is not a long-term relationship and this young duckling is going to want to move on at some stage and that this type of relationship is temporary. It’s not unusual for these women to recognise the relationship has run it’s course and let things move on hassle free.

Obviously, this is not for everybody. Dating someone who is significantly younger or older requires a mindset of focusing on your own personal choices, and your own happiness. You have to be ready to live your life on your own terms.
