How do I get to date an older woman?

[Nadim171]

Follow up question to my other questions. I now realize that dating an older woman isn't easy, but since it is definitely possible, how can I get to do it? What exactly can attract them? Any advice is appreciated.

[AmandaYVR]

Nadim, I've got you down in my head as a smart firecracker. You've got some guts and some sense.

But I do not believe you are 16 and looking to date upwards of 40s. Something's amiss with your age and I don't like talking to liars.
And not only would a woman in 20s, 30s, 40s not want to date your age, they could go to jail over it.

[Nadim171]

Oh I swear I am not lying, it is easy to think I am and I don't blame you for suspecting it but I am not, I would prove it if I can. I was talking about when I'm 18, then even if people don't like they can't bully me into changing my mind.

[AmandaYVR]

Ok. 👍

For now work on your active listening skills and ability to communicate clearly, being a good listener is one of the more attractive qualities in a partner.


Then get in shape and focus on working towards a solid career. Showing drive and ambition is one thing many will want to see, being in shape helps you have more options since more of them will find you attractive.


Once you’re 21+ or, whatever the drinking age is where you are, go to places they frequent: anything with wine. Wine rather than beer so it’s women instead of men and alcohol in general because it means you’ll be getting potentially single adults and not families. Wine painting nights, pottery nights, etc., might work.

[Nadim171]

One of the best advices I heard until now. I think I am working on the first one already. But I really have to wait until I'm 21? Isn't 18 already enough?

[MrKinktastic]

21 because of the drinking age. You might get lucky before then of course, they’re just harder to meet

[Exterminatore]

Be fit, average looking or better, stable and at least moderately successful. Be independent. Have self control. Also have some charisma and ability to carry on a semi intelligent conversation. Be able to take the lead. Same stuff that attracts the most women of any age group, race, or any demographic you can pretty much think of. They’re not all the same but this should give you the best chance across the board. Also don’t be a puss. The more you have of these qualities the more desirable you’ll be.

How much older do you want to date? You'd have to be incredibly mature for your age, and not look younger, to even consider getting an 18 yr old girl to pay attention to you. They're out there looking to date 20+ year old guys, not 16 year old guys.

That said, you just take your chances and ask. How many older girls do you actually know well enough to ask?

[Nadim171]

30-40. I can't do anything now, I am talking about when I'm 18.

[loveslongnails]

When you're 18, you'll have figured it out. LOL Cougars will be looking for you.

[Iron_Man]

It won’t work out you’re under age and she would probably be an adult

[Nadim171]

Oh come on, I'll have more freedom after two years, it most likely can't happen now anyways, but once I'm 18 it's legal.

[Iron_Man]

What age of a woman would you like to date when you’re 18

[Nadim171]

30-40

[Iron_Man]

Wow you Really like the cougars

[Nadim171]

I do 😂 I mean I am attracted to girls my age and even a little younger, but not nearly as much as older women.

[Iron_Man]

Is it financially that they’ll take care of you and spend money on you
or you’re just physically attracted to them?

[Nadim171]

I am physically attracted to them. I won't live off a woman's money, I will provide for her even if she works once I get a stable job.

[Nadim171]

It's not as physical as much as it is emotional though. Older women are usually more willing to settle down and get married, and also I enjoy the feeling of a woman being somewhat protective of me. They're also more mature, they usually care more about practical things.

[Iron_Man]

You have no idea what your career is going to be you haven’t even finished high school- yet how do you know you can provide for yourself and another high maintenance expensive woman?

[Nadim171]

I can't be sure that I'll be able to provide for her from the beginning, but I'm not thinking about dating them for their money.

[Iron_Man]

I’d recommend just date them to get over it then take on girls your age

[Nadim171]

Perhaps. But I actually want to get married later on and settle down. I think it wouldn't be too hard to date a 35 or 30 year old when I'm in my 20s though.

[Iron_Man]

Most men don’t marry a woman in her 40s at the age of 20 it’s usually the opposite so they can be taken care of when the man’s older

[Nadim171]

I won't marry a much older woman, but if I'm in my 20s and she's in her 30s it seems fair. I don't want one of us to die far before the other.

[OlderAndWiser]

How much older?

[Nadim171]

30s-40s but I'd settle for 25

[OlderAndWiser]

You would be damned glad to date a woman 25 years old, but most women that age are looking for a man who is mature, serious about attaining some goals in life, and who won't cause them to go to prison. Why should a 25 year old woman date you?

What is the age of consent where you live?

[Nadim171]

And what if I fit this criteria? I already have goals, I want to settle down early and will never get involved in anything illegal? If I seem mature enough would it work?

[OlderAndWiser]

What is the age of consent where you live?

[Nadim171]

18 yo

[OlderAndWiser]

Why should any adult woman date you when it can result in her going to prison?

[Nadim171]

When I'm 18?

[OlderAndWiser]

You will have great difficulty getting women to take you seriously when you are 18. The fact that YOU perceive yourself as mature doesn't mean that they will perceive you the same way.

[Nadim171]

It will be hard, but all dating is hard anyways. That's why I'm asking what will make them perceive me this way.

[OlderAndWiser]

Having a job, a car, and your own home.

[princeofromance]

I don't know, I am looking to date younger women.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Be older yourself

[Nadim171]

Come on 😂 I won't wait 30 years.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Then good luck jail baiting a woman at your current age.

[Nadim171]

Well, I can't do shit now anyways because of my parents. So I'm talking about when I'm 18. Time flies, I'm 16 and a half, I'll soon be 18.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

You see, that's another reason to get older first

[Nadim171]

How older is "older"? 18? I agree. But their age? No

[Aiko_E_Lara]

even if you're 18, are you willing to accept the odds?

[Nadim171]

What exactly do you mean?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I mean what I said. Lets be real, the odds are slim but you're gonna be really lucky if an old woman accepts you. You shouldn't be surprised if only a few of them would

[Nadim171]

The odds should be well, moderate. Not many men pay attention to old women, but as a young man I won't have as much money. It should be easier once I am in my 20s.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Like what I said, if that's what you believe then you're gonna need a good luck with that
