Nowadays it is becoming far more commonplace for young guys to date older women without
anyone batting an eyelid and indeed celebrities such as Madonna and Demi Moore are well known for having married younger men. But why do young guys date older women, sometimes known as cougar women, when there are so many eager young girls out there, and can it work?
A term currently being branded around at the moment is cougar woman and this is not intended to be a derogatory term. A cougar woman is named after the wild cat and quite often displays the cat like strengths such as power, beauty and success.
A cougar woman is over 40 years of age and is attracted to younger men known as cubs.
The advantages for young guys to date older women are as follows:
An older woman is more confident and know what she wants in a man
She has experience of dating and is not afraid to seek out the type of man that she now knows she wants. She is predatory in her approach to young men and is very adept at flirting. The older woman is experienced in the bedroom and can teach her young guy a thing or two.
An older woman is financially secure and settled
She has a job and is therefore not seeking a man to look after her. Whilst she is happy to spend time with a younger man but does not necessarily want any commitment from him. She exudes confidence and is less stressful to be around than many young girls who can be insecure with their looks and career path.
Older women take care of themselves
A cougar woman values her looks and takes time to maintain them. She spends money on expensive clothes and nice hairstyles.
So you can see how it could work for you as a young guy to date older women.
