Why would a man want to date an older woman with a 14 year age difference?

[Anonymous]

Mid 30's male asks out a 50 year old woman. The woman is hot and looks 42. Still?

Here are some reasons why men date older women:

1. Most men who are single after 40 will find that dating older women have its benefits. Those who say 'find me a wife' have found the answer while dating confident women. Since older women have more life experiences, they naturally exude confidence. This is an age where women don't have to prove themselves anymore.

2. Another reason why men date older women is because of maturity. Finding a soul mate is easy when you are dealing with mature individuals. Women who are younger, often do not know what they want in life making them appear flaky and childish coming from the perspective of a guy who has a more mature outlook. By dating someone who is fickle-minded, you don't know where you stand and you might not be able to find the answer to the question, how can I find love?

3. Most guys who are looking to be taken care of usually find themselves in the arms of older women. An older woman is more capable of giving this kind of love and nurturing. This is perhaps on of the most important reasons why men date older women.

Whether you are dating someone older or you're single after40, be open to possibilities and don't close your doors to dating older women. This can be your answer to the question, how can I find love?

Happy Manifesting!

There are plenty of possibilities here (which I am sure you have thought of them all). I too look 10 years younger than I am and always get asked out by younger guys (and unfortunately not by guys my age).

AlI I can say is that it seems you might be interested in this man, but are feeing uneasy about why he wants to be with you... so.. don't put all your eggs in one basket. Do things for yourself and let him do the calling and asking out, go slow and see where it takes you.

he feels the need to get to know her and maybe he actually likes "older" ladies? maybe he wants a "mother" around the house while he's at work or out of town? who knows why who likes who? (there's so many reasons)

Older women have a higher libido, they are also more experienced at sex, and they are a lot more likely to be open minded.

What do you think a guy would prefer? A girl who says "Ewww! You want to do *what* now?" or a woman who grabs you by the balls and says "C'mere, we're going to do something different tonight..."

Plus, it's possible the guy has a bit of an Oedipal complex and the older woman is a stand-in.

I'm a believer in the idea that age is just a number -- up to a point. For me personally, 14 years is too much of an age gap, but it took some dating to find that out the hard way. A few years ago, I dated a woman 13 years my junior, and I also dated a woman 16 years my senior. Neither woman lasted more than a few dates, mainly because the age gap made it tough for us to relate to each other.

Because she is smart, accomplished, Confident. A woman who has lived a life and has scars and experiences to prove it is very sexy to younger men. Add great sex to the mix and she is irresistible to a mere mortal!

Because he is attracted to her...some people don't really care about the age gap.

Confident, attractive, slightly older women are super attractive. That's why : )

[Apodyopsis]

Because he likes her ?
