Well if she is already rich and successful an older and even richer man has more connections and that's how she goes up the ladder to even more fame and fortune.
But for the couples who aren't in the media I've met some intelligent and successful and beautiful women who married older men because they were more mature and accustomed to their lifestyle. I don't know if its always about the money, I know I would date a 35-45 year old if he was right for me , older men seem to care less about looks and are much more mature. But usually I see how it's about more money, more success , more fame.

Well they obviously aren't gold diggers since they are very successful themselves and don't need to be a gold digger.

George and Amal look like they are genuinely in love. Every time I see a picture of them together especially when they look at each other or hear the way they talk about each other it's obvious they love each other. George Clooney was also a well known bachelor who didn't plan on marrying, she must be a damn amazing woman if she got him to settle down.

Georgina Chapman and Harvey Weinstein are a beautiful couple as well :)

I think it depends on how big of a gap. Sometimes older men are more mature and have their life more put together and that can be a real benefit to a successful marriage. If there's a significant age gap (10+ years) I would have more questions, but if she's financially stable on her own it could still very well be companionship.

They just really like older men. I learned in psychology that most women like older guys because they seem mature and financially stable. Men go for women younger than them because of their youthfulness and they are fertile.

[VIVANT]

they dont marry 'older' guys. they marry guys who will die soon.

[Blunique]

@VIVANT Not all of them. That's incredibly heartless as well.

[VIVANT]

no not all my point is its not some magical attraction to older guys for personality sake. most people in marriage are actually very close in age. there is a fine line between psychology and platitudes.

[VIVANT]

most women and most me do not go for much older/ much younger mates.

[onetoomanybeau]

Gotta cash in on that sweet sweet life insurance and inheritance

[Asker]

But many of these women are already successful financially. They just want more?

[onetoomanybeau]

I’d say so! Women like an “alpha male”, a big roller is like a silverback gorilla... turning heads

[Trollfather]

Plus if he's super old he'll be dead in a couple years and they can take his stuff!

[bubbatxman]

They can probably sleep with who they want even in an LTR with these guys. The money, the status. Being George Clooney’s wife is a big deal!

[Philyouup]

we are more attentive lovers, we make more money and we fill a hole they have..( emotionally that is)

[Asker]

Would you date me? I am 28 now

[Philyouup]

Sure , Why not? Dating is the act of getting to know each other before we decide to commit.

[Philyouup]

Where you from? you can always PM me if you wish :)

[Asker]

Are you interested in a girl from Thailand? :o

[Philyouup]

I am never apposed to possibilities :)

[azzntittiz]

Men are idiots and it's usually better to get them when they are really ripe and too tired to be idiots anymore, but how'd that work out for Weinstein's wife.

[Nobleone]

Are you a guy hater or something?

[azzntittiz]

@Nobleone sometimes something, but mostly a guy hater.

[Nobleone]

Did you get hurt in the past or something?

[maddithebaddi]

Older men are more mature, stable, and don't just want sex like young guys. i prefer older men myself. younger guys just don't have it together.

[VIVANT]

thats bc they dont have to have it together bc 20 year old women will date them 20- years later. if they did not have that option they might be more accountable.

[maddithebaddi]

I'm not following. If a woman dates them 20+ years later that'll make the man 40 yes old. most men in their 40s have it together.

[maddithebaddi]

*years. I'm not getting what you're saying

[Exterminatore]

Cause a guy whose a 2/10 but has serious money, wealth, and fame is a 10/10.

[Colleen89227]

When that happens, it’s always the money

[Asker]

always? never love or daddy issues?

[Colleen89227]

Yeah pretty much it’s always about the money. Never love or daddy issues.

[Asker]

LMAO

[Landshrk0068]

B, C, and D=they like mature guys

[Hunterb]

This shit is disgusting

[Asker]

[Hunterb]

Imagine hot successful guys with grandmas

[Asker]

You mean the French president and his wife?

[Asker]

He is 40 she is 65

[sayitaintso85]

That's easy, They like a mature man.

[Asker]

And mature men like immature girls?

[sayitaintso85]

No they are mature that is why they are successful.

[Asker]

So success [monetary/fame] makes you mature? Interesting.

[sayitaintso85]

Yeah you have to be driven and motivated to get there both signs of maturity.

[Asker]

Luck plays into it too.

[sayitaintso85]

Luck? That's what an immature person say's.

[Asker]

Science. I said it played a role. I did not claim it was all determinate. To not recognize it plays a role--often an important one--is to be simple minded. blogs.scientificamerican.com/.../

[sayitaintso85]

You are on edge!! lol

[VIVANT]

who will be dead in 10 years..

[Blunique]

@VIVANT lol you don't know when he's going to die. You don't know what kind of good genes that person has. Just because they are older, doesn't mean they are automatically going to kick the bucket. Unless they are like in bad health.

[rapfan107]

It's all about the money

[Asker]

Many of these women already have money. They want more?

[rapfan107]

Lol duh they want an empire some have even admitted it

[Asker]

So they are greedy. Is it possible that any of them have daddy issues or are in love? Or do you think money explains every one of them?

[rapfan107]

Love I really doubt that and I do think some got daddy issues. Most girls have daddy issues for days and if the guy has money well

[jojojohnes99]

mmmmm she a gold digga

[smilingsunshine]

Love many times :)

[kaskas19]

Why does it matter?

[Asker]

It doesn't. I think teenagers should be able to marriage elderly guys for all I care.

[Salmon4056]

Money honey

[name_is_eric]

Money.

[Anonymous]

They want money.

[Asker]

but they have money already. always? never love or daddy issues?

[Opinion Owner]

Then I guess they just like older men. It doesn't necessarily mean that they have daddy issues.
