Dating Different Women Age Groups: The Pros and Cons

There are both advantages and disadvantages in dating younger, older and women your own age. Circumstances sometimes put a man in a situation where he ends up dating a woman whose age is not within his usual preference. Should you find yourself in such a situation, here are some things you need to remember.

Dating someone younger

We’re not talking about just five years or so difference between your ages. We are actually on to men in their 40s dating women in their late teens or very early twenties. Some advantages are having someone young in bed, with every part of her in their proper places. Enjoyable sex is usually guaranteed and young women can actually make an older man feel younger.

The disadvantage? She is likely to be immature and will not have much in common with you in terms of habits and likes. And whether you admit it or not, you will always look at younger, more virile men and wonder when and which one she will run away with.

Dating someone older

It has become more common – the cougar concept. For younger men dating older women, the advantage is that she knows where the relationship stands. Most of them are not clingy types and they have likely been around so they know all the tricks to make their men happy in bed.

One disadvantage is that some younger men will inevitably feel inadequate, particularly when the older woman is successful and is part of a social circle that is beyond the younger man’s concept of society. Plus, she might not have the same freshness and figure as younger females, no matter how well she takes care of herself.

Dating someone your own age

A difference of two to three years between you is the same as dating someone your own age. You will likely have a lot in common, having grown up in the same era. What will tip the balance are your individual personalities, not your ages.
