10 Reasons to Love Middle-Aged Men
1. They’re Super Sexy
Who wants a skinny boy with peach fuzz when you can have a beefy man with a five o’clock shadow? An older guy knows how to wear a suit, and his salt-and-pepper hair complements it quite well. While he may have a few wrinkles, they make him look rugged and all the more sexy.
2. They Know What They Want
Men of a certain age have dated around enough to know what they’re looking for in a woman. They’re more forthright from the start, saving you the endless hours spent wondering “what are we?” and “is this going anywhere?” that are inevitable when you’re dating a relationship rookie
3. They’re Established
While the twentysomethings are still couch-surfing and job hunting, men in their mid-thirties, forties and fifties own homes and have long-standing careers. Without the need to prove or establish themselves, older men have more time to dote on you and more money to put toward said doting.
4. They’re Confident
Older men know who they are and what they have to offer. While everyone has insecurities and doubts, men who’ve lived a bit more tend to have the self-knowledge that a lot of younger guys struggle with. A confident man won’t burden you with ego stroking and will be able to handle the inevitable thick and thin of any relationship.
5. They’re Good in Bed
Having had plenty of practice, an older man usually knows his way around the female body and communicates well between the sheets. Plus, with less testosterone flying around, they can take it slow, focus on you and hold out longer.
6. They’re More Mature
It’s common knowledge that women mature much faster than men. While a lot of women in their twenties and thirties are looking for a long-term relationship, most men that age aren’t ready to settle down yet. Having sown their wild oats and dated around, older men are more likely to commit.
Why do you think most marriages that end up in divorce are between peers?
7. They’re Groomed
Having dated several women before you, an older man’s had plenty of gals “fix him up.” His skin looks great because he knows about moisturizer; he has bath mats outside his shower; and he’s terrific at tweezing his unibrow. Sure, these seem like small things, but they all add up to one dashing dude.
8. They Won’t Try to Change You
Unlike a young gun, a silver fox knows better than to force you to fit his mold — he’s likely tried before and failed. If an older guy is with you, it’s because you have the qualities that he knows he wants. You’re free to be yourself, faults and all!
9. They Take Vacations
Younger men don’t go on vacation very often, mainly because: 1) they don’t have the cash; 2) they can’t take off of work because they still need to impress their boss. An older, established man has both the money and the job security to travel … and take you along, of course.
10. They’ll Teach You Stuff
Older men are typically more aware of the world around them — they’re socially, emotionally and financially experienced and can pass those skills along to you. Plus, they’re great Trivial Pursuit partners!
Unless you stick to men eight years your senior and older, you will end up in a mommy/son relationship with your man. Nothing is more of a turn-off than that! The maturity of a man is many years behind that of a woman. Another major plus is that while the bond between mom and son is touching, you’re less likely to deal with a meddling mother-in-law with an older man. If you make the mistake of marrying a domineering woman, just wait until you meet your lovely future mother-in-law. Like mother like daughter. She’ll be running your life and business like no other! : )
