I often ponder why it is that young women like dating older guys.

I think part of the reason may be this:

Young women like to look their best. They spend a lot of time, effort and money trying to compete in what appears to be an infinity pool of stunningly attractive females.

When a girl dates a guy in her own age bracket one of two scenarios may occur.

1) He's a totally dateable guy and she is left feeling  that he may be comparing her to the other pretty girls he's dated. This makes her feel insecure and that feeling distracts from the enjoyment of the date.

2) He's not that dateable. He can't believe his luck and is fawning over her. She finds this a major turn off and isn't boosted by his admiration.

She dates an older man. He's confident and comfortable in his own skin, while at the same time cognisant of how incredibly lucky he is to be dating such an exquisite creature.

So happy that he can look a pretty young woman in the eyes and admire the curvature of her mouth and slenderness of her figure. He's not going shy away from telling her this. They both realise that beautiful girls are everywhere, but in that moment, he is with the most beautiful girl in the universe. That's how he makes her feel, because it's true. The rest of the world fades into the background. There is no other place he would rather be, no other girl he would choose over you. He makes it obvious and the young lady feels like she's floating on air.

Thanks for reading the ponderings of an older man.
