Most Men Prefer Younger Women, Here’s Why
There's a bevy of reasons men prefer younger women, but you'll only learn the important ones here. It ranges from what she's been through to how she acts when she's in the presence of an older love. Continue reading to find out the real motives behind guys who chase the fresh faces.
No Rush To Settle Down
Sometimes, older women like to settle down sooner and have kids. Many guys aren't ready for that stage yet, so a lady who also doesn't want that is a better fit for them.
Spicing Up Their Life
"Age gap" romances can spice up a guy's life because the younger party brings a fresh perspective on things. Some men appreciate that experience and will chase it until it's theirs.
Younger Women Appreciate A Man Who Knows What He's Doing
In many cases, younger ladies respect and like a man who knows what he's doing. Usually, that means older guys, so they might like younger women because they feel more appreciated.
Younger Women Are More Humble
Humility can go a long way, especially in the eyes of men. Guys like women who know what they have but aren't flaunting it all the time like they own the planet.
Still Believing In Love
The older you get, the more jaded you become. If she's younger, she probably hasn't experienced a lot of heartache or betrayal, so she still has a strong sense of love.
Optimism
Playing off the previous idea, younger women are also more optimistic. That energy becomes infectious and breathes new life into the guy she's seeing, and what's not to love about that?
Less Complicated Lives
The older you get, the more you go through, which makes room for complications. Some guys don't want to deal with that and would rather be with someone who has a less complicated life.
The Student/Teacher Dynamic
When someone is younger, they still have lots of room to grow. Many guys like playing the role of the teacher so that they can teach their partner things as she grows into a mature woman.
Expecting Less
Perhaps they won't express it at first, but the idea of expecting less is something a guy can appreciate. Young women still have a lot of room for personal improvement, so she probably won't want as much as someone who's already established in life.
For Motivational Purposes
Being around someone who has plenty of goals to chase can inspire anyone. Age doesn't discriminate when it comes to dreams, but the younger you are, the wilder your dreams usually are, and the more work you put in to reach them.
Having More Energy
The younger you are, the more energy you have. This is an advantage for guys looking at younger women because it provides an advantage in certain areas, if you catch my drift.
Life Hasn't Attacked Them As Much
It's different dealing with someone who has had a lot happen to them in their life. Those things can change a person and even lead to bitterness and cynicism. People experience things at their own pace, but the younger you are, the less likely you've gone through as much as older people.
More Likely To Be Physically Active
You can think of thousands of collegiate women athletes and even the ones in the intramural leagues. That population alone makes it easy to see why guys might take an interest in younger women if they want someone who is fit. The fact is, people tend to get less active with age.
A Lower Chance Of Having Kids
It's rare you find a man who openly wants to step into something that could potentially turn him into a stepfather. More mature women might not already have kids, but they might want them sooner than later. It's a safer bet when she's younger.
Appearing More Attractive
To some guys, younger women are simply more attractive. Maybe it's the lack of wrinkles and bags under the eyes that sparks their interest. Who knows? But I suppose ageism is alive and well.
Wanting To Feel Appreciated
Some men agree that younger girls appreciate older guys. Not just any older guys, but the kind who aren't self-absorbed. For the gentlemen, that's a huge pat on the back.
Less Prudish
Who likes anyone that's a prude? That's a trait not many people can appreciate, but a characteristic that starts to show as you grow up. Guys like younger women because many aren't as uptight.
Making Him Feel Young Again
One of the obvious reasons a man might date younger is because younger women make him feel young again. He can take as many vitamins as he wants, but the young lady will liven him up the best.
He Wants A Child
In some cases, older women can't have children once they reach a certain age. If he still wants a child, he has a better shot at it if he's dating a younger woman.
They're More Hip
The younger a person is, the more hip they're likely to be. She can help keep him up to date with all the latest trends and have fun while doing it. Why not try that new TikTok dance?
Her Future Is Still Unplanned
The younger the woman is, the less established she is in her future. She is just beginning her career and likely doesn't live in her forever home. That leaves room for her to create and build a malleable future with her older man. She is more open to relocating, for example.
Her Sense Of Adventure
Older men like the way a younger woman will push them towards new experiences. Since they tend to have less baggage, they likely will encourage him to travel, try new cuisines, or go on hikes. These are all things he might have not normally have had the courage or will to do.
They Match His Emotional Maturity
Some men can't handle the emotional maturity of women around their age. They feel as though they can relate better to a younger mind. They might even be more understood by younger women who still are learning from their own mistakes as well.
Their Opinions Are Less Firm
Whether subconsciously or not, men prefer the way a younger woman will assume they're right about some things because of their age gap. They might even use their age as an argument.
Older women are more set in their ways, their identities, and have formed their own experience-based opinions.
She Has Fewer Health Issues
There is a kind of relief that comes with knowing a woman is still too young to experience a lot of age-related health complications. Not only will it save some bills, but it means he doesn't have to worry about her as much.
It Makes Him Feel Useful
An older man probably is more secure financially and has a little more wisdom. That means he can spoil his younger woman and help make up for the things she is still working towards. This gives him a sense of purpose.
He's In Denial About His Own Age
The last thing a man over 40 wants to be reminded of is that he lost his youth. With a younger woman, he can pretend to be younger for a while longer by looking at life through her eyes and embodying her own youth.
It's Been Romanticized For Him
So many movies, books, celebrity couples, and songs have depicted an ideal relationship between an older man and a younger woman and have romanticized the idea for him. It created a fantasy for the man that he wishes to experience for himself.
She Reminds Him Of Better Days
Often, older men will go for younger women because they're stuck in the past. The past represents their happiest and most exciting days, and they would do anything to go back to it. She can help him relive it.
They're Afraid Of Commitment
Many men will go for younger women because they know they might be able to get away with more. They might be able to feed a younger woman more excuses for their unwillingness to move forward in the relationship without the same amount of objection an older woman would subject them to.
