6 Reasons Why You Should Date An Older Man

You must admit, an older man has a unique appeal that younger guys don’t have. Unlike younger guys who are all into the excitement and the thrill of dating, the older man takes a slower, yet better thought of approach. He doesn’t woo you with free drinks at the hottest bar in town. Instead, he’ll take you out to a rustic little hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a quartet playing in the background.

When you reach a point where you think that all the guys your age have nothing to offer you, you may start setting your sights on someone who’s more refined, more sophisticated, and definitely more mature. It would be a refreshing change from all these man-children who are still running around, not knowing what to do with their lives.

# He’s more secure

It may be a given that the older man ranks a lot higher in the career ladder than guys your age. He may even be the head of his own company. This means that when it comes to money, he’s got no problem. But other than money, he is also more secure when it comes to his emotions.

He’s well past the days of reckless abandon and oscillating emotions. Instead, he’s at the point where he’s more certain of what he feels about himself and life, in general. This means that you won’t be getting any more episodes of “I’m not sure if I like-you-like-you, but I want you around.” Nope, the older man will just outright say what he feels.

# He has learned from his previous relationships

Depending on how much older your older guy is, he has already had his fair share of dating experience under his belt. He already knows that different women have different quirks.

Some women may be more vocal, more emotional, more tolerant, more relaxed or more sexual than others. He accepts this, and this helps mold his dating philosophy. What this means for you is that he’s better able to understand what makes you tick.

# He knows more about sex

Older often means wiser, and wiser means he’s got a couple of tricks up his sleeve, right? He’s ahead of you in the game, so he’s probably got some high-level moves that you’d never have heard of. And since he’s not up to date on the latest trends when it comes to getting all worked up, as what the younger guys would read from their men’s magazines, you may be surprised that he’s got a couple of old school moves that you never thought you’d enjoy.

On a side note, so what if he needs a little pharmaceutical help to get him started? That just means he’s willing to go all in, just so he can pleasure you!

# He’s more patient with you

Your older guy has probably dated someone your age back in the day. He’s familiar with the mood swings and sudden impulses of twenty something women. This means he already has some idea of what to expect from you. And unlike a younger guy who’s more likely to fight with you over your little quirks, the older man knows when he needs to back off and just give you some space.

# He knows how to get what he wants

He’s been through more years of life than you. He’s had more disappointments and failures in life. In all of the times he has failed, he knows how he managed to get back up and get what he wants. With younger guys, they may not be sure how to get something or someone they want. Heck, they may not even be so sure about what they want in the first place. But with older men, he’s had years to try and test his technique.

Don’t take this to mean that he would be manipulative. We’re not saying that. We’re saying that an older man has more knowledge, when it comes to the different means of getting what he wants.

For instance, he may know that simply saying sorry for arguing with you won’t work. But from his experience, he knows that women like you may be wooed by an item that reflects your interests such as a rare book or a vinyl record. Once he hands that to you as a peace offering, he knows that the odds are in his favor that you’d forgive him.

# He’s not overly emotional or jealous

Remember how we started off the list with the fact that most older men are more secure in themselves? This is because we know for a fact that there have been other women who have fallen for him and stroked his ego. What he needs now isn’t someone to stroke his ego, but someone whose company he can enjoy.

This is the reason he’s not overly jealous. He’s secure in the fact that you would like him for who he is, and not just some flimsy reason that goes out the window the minute a hot guy passes by. He knows he’s more established than some hot young guy who might just catch your eye, so he doesn’t feel the need to be threatened by them.
