There are numerous advantages to dating older women. Quite a few, in fact. So that you younger men will understand this, I will now give you a few advantages:

- An older woman will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask you what you are thinking. She doesn't really care. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

- An older woman usually has a dental plan. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

- An older woman will never accuse you of taking the best years of her life. Someone else already did. (Okay, maybe the best is yet to come but she'll never accuse you of having taken them.) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Cinderlla, you are joking about a subject that is very near and dear to me. As a man in his 50's I can assure you that women in their late 40's and their 50's are extremely exciting and attractive. As a group I find them to be intelligent, good-looking, creative, pretty, mature, fit, experienced, and very independent. At times they can also be very tempestuous.

They are a challenge to date, but also very rewarding to have as a girlfriend or a good friend. They have made me be a stronger man.

Here's some more:

An older woman already HAS a life and doesn't expect you to BE her life.

You will never argue about what to name the kids.

If you end up supporting her, it will be because she took early retirement.


Waiting for dawn...
...but not afraid of the dark.

And if they are an "older BS" - "40 something" Like myself ..Look out..

They are ready to "learn new things"
They have been "without" for so long - they can't wait to catch up for all that lost time..
They don't want to marry you - they just want a "toy"....

My W is 45 years old but her femininity is the envy of women half her age. For me she is the epitome of womanhood. I am a very lucky guy.

This is too funny! Not to mention such a pick-me-up for a 42 year old like myself that doesn't feel attractive anymore.

It doesn't help that I work with a 24 year old that has dates all the time.

I enjoyed reading your posts.

They are so true!!! Thanks for the laugh Cinderella!

I am one of those older women!!

They run in my family:

My paternal grandmother was older than my grandfather.

Their oldest son married an older woman.

Their youngest son married an older woman.

Their middle son, my dad, married an older woman.

My first bf was younger than me.

Bachelor #1 was younger than me.

The Diplomat is younger than me.

YES!!!!! Give me a younger man!!!!!!

I thought I posted back to you earlier, but don't see it now.

But wanted to say, that I too have always been the older woman when I dated in school, and then married a younger man, (only by 20 days, but still)

I have only dated one guy since being d, and he was several years younger. In the beginning, it really bothered me, in the end, I thought WOW for me! How about a younger man thinking I'm something.

You always make me laugh!

I personally think we older women are awesome...
We have SO much to offer to a man. We know what we want, and we are willing to work at a relationship this time to make it a winning one.
No whiny babies to raise, no diapers, no strollers....
We have much more time to focus on our boyfriend.
I think older women rock!!!!!

I completely agree KK. As an older man I find older women to be absolutely wondeful. They are so exciting, free, and competent. As I said before, I have to be a stronger man to deal with them, but that's OK with me. The benefits of having an older woman as a g/f are immesurable.

Now I know where I went wrong!!! I always dated older men.
At thirty-eight I may qualify as an older woman. I met a good looking man yesterday, but he was only 32. I figured too young. Well, too young for somethings, but not for others. Oh, I'm just feeling devious tonight.

PS: Another benefit about older women, they don't imagine for a second that they'll die of a broken heart. The attitude is more like "Yeah, so what this didn't work out? It's not like I haven't lived through worse."
