Women Dating Younger Men

What are the reasons more women are choosing to date men that are significantly younger than themselves? Physical and sexual attributes may be the seemingly obvious and logical conclusion you leap to. Although this could be icing on the cake, these particular intergenerational relationships are often motivated by more practical matters. Age differences in relationships between older women and younger men revolve around the following:

  • Not as many women are looking for marriage, 2.5 children and the picket fence. More women would rather focus on companionship, travel, and fun.
  • Women's careers are increasingly important to them. Therefore, partnering with a man with a less-developed career simply makes sense. This allows greater flexibility: The man can relocate easier to follow the woman's job. And, he can devote more time and energy to child rearing and household responsibilities.

Hi Im a 38year old women and i have been in a relationship with a 26 year old man he is very mature and is more of a man than any other man i have met.
We have been together for a year are planing to get married and have a baby as i have two children from my previous my marrage and we want one together.
It is difficult people will accept an older man with a younger women but not the other way around,so yes we do get people lookin at us luckly we both have a good sence of humor about it and belive me he looks older and i look much younger than i realy am,and not even that helps.
