Here are some of the advantages of older dating:

1. More experience in relationships

Usually older people do not play games. You don’t have to think about whether you should text an older man back Wait an hour or what to say immediately when you text. An older man will probably call and talk to you instead. Or if he is texting, it is not to play games. It is likely to make arrangements for when he can see you.

In other words, there will be no playing games with an older man, and you should not do it playing games, either. He knows what he wants in the relationship, and he is confident to just say it. He is also willing to discuss things and is not interested in guessing what is going on with you if you are crazy about something. If you’re not happy, speak up. Older people usually like to keep things simple.

2. Mature

Older men are usually more mature and in control of their emotions than most younger men. They are more rational and deliberate before they react. They don’t get angry or defensive about the feedback you give them, as younger men might.

On the other hand, an older man who is interested in a younger woman might be attracted to her because he is immature. He may not be able to relate to women his own age and may never have outgrown his young ‘party type’. Postponing adulthood, after all, may not be an attractive trait.

3. He is finished playing the field

If you’re older, this probably means you’re not out partying or clubbing all night with your man, but this also means he’s probably been playing the field and constantly checking his social media for action. Older men are more likely to want to settle down at home and spend some time alone with you.

If you intend to get married for any reason. An older man might be the way to go.

4. He has acquired more knowledge

Because he is older and more worldly, he is more interesting than most boys your age. He has learned more from life and knows more about people and the world. Therefore, he can take you to places you have never been, and he can open your mind to new thoughts you have not had before. He has had sexual experiences and can probably teach you a few things in this area as well. If you are looking for a man who can expand your horizons, an older man is probably a good choice for you.

5. He has money

Perhaps the classic reason younger women date older men is money, which is in the column of advantages for dating older men, but there are negative connotations to this as well. The younger woman is usually referred to as a gold digger. Just because a young woman dates an older man with money doesn’t mean she is dating him just for the money. As long as both parties agree to this arrangement, it is between them. It doesn’t matter if people like it or not.

If you are dating an older man for the money, be prepared for people to disapprove, but don’t let that stop you if you and your husband are okay with the arrangement. Check out other tips on finding a sugar daddy.

Here are some of the problems with dating an older man:

1. His friends and family do not take you seriously

Don’t expect his friends and family to be excited about the relationship. They don’t tend to give him the high five to celebrate his big catch. You’ll probably think you’re a gold-digger who’s just using him for his money. You think that as soon as you get what you need from him, get bored, meet someone, etc., you will leave him.

Even if this guy doesn’t have much money, you may still be dismissed by his friends and family as not being very interesting because you are old. They may act condescendingly toward you.

2.Your friends and family wonder why he is younger.

Don’t expect your friends and family to be excited about the relationship either. They will probably ask you with a raised eyebrow where you met anyway and probably be protective. They will wonder why he is with someone so much younger, and they may think it is just for sex. The worry is that once you are no longer ‘young’ in his eyes, he will dump you for the next young thing that comes along.

3. You may not know the same pop culture

Many of the pop culture references he gives you go over your head when you’re dating an older man. Or when you refer to current pop culture, he may stare at you blankly. You can’t relate to him about pop culture the way you can relate to people your own age. Although this isn’t a deal breaker in most cases, it’s kind of a blooper because it shows how an age difference is really a thing between the two of you. Maybe it doesn’t bother you too much, but you can’t deny that it exists.

Even if you both don’t mind explaining the cultural connection to each other, neither of you will probably enjoy spending a lot of time with each other’s friends. You will feel like you are out with your parents, and he will feel like he is out with his kids’ friends. Both situations are somewhat awkward and will probably be avoided by both of you, but it is important to spend time with each other’s friends.

4. Baggage from previous relationship

If you are dating an older man, he probably had at least one significant relationship, such as a marriage, before he came to you. He might also have children from that marriage that he supports and sees every other weekend. You are not the only important person in his life, and you often take a back seat to his previous relationship. If he had a particularly bad breakup, he might not be over it. He may never get over it, and this may have exhausted him, causing him to never want to remarry or really open up to anyone again. However, you may be able to get over this emotionally.

5. You want kids, but he’s done

If he has children from a previous relationship, children who may even be grown, he might not be anxious to start all over again with a new family to raise. And if he has adult children, they are probably your age. This situation could be uncomfortable for you. Even if he doesn’t have children at his age, if he doesn’t have them yet, he may just not want them. If you want to have your own children, this relationship with an older man is not for you. Life goals are a must for relationship compatibility.

6. Health problems

You may want to wait before looking in his medicine cabinet when dating an older man. If your man is not too old, he may not have any health problems yet, but he might. However, if you are dating an older man, you should expect health problems. The older he is, the more health problems he is likely to have. Men are prone to heart disease earlier than women and may develop prostate problems. If you are still young, you are probably not ready to think about the man you are dating dealing with health problems.

Dating an older man can pose problems, but you can solve them if you are committed to the relationship. After all, there are problems with being younger, too. Read more Here .

As long as you both share the same values and goals for the relationship, don’t let age stop you from having a great relationship with an older man.
