Why Marry An Older Man?

We often see young girls marrying an older men. Some would say that she is just looking for a father figure in her life but there may be more to it than that.scold

For one, she may be looking at his secure financial status; life is not cheap these days and there may be some advantage in being an old man’s darling in the stead of a young man’s slave. Financial stability can be a big tie breaker. Starting off in a 3 bed room house may be preferable to starving in a one room apartment.daydream

And then an older man is generally more mature and sophisticated with a quiet confidence and years of experience and is more than often a good listener.wine

He will normally be patient, punctual and will display good old fashioned values like opening the door or pulling out the chair for you. Good manners go a long way. You will find him dependable and he won’t keep you waiting for hours, nor will he get upset when you stray off the topic.hmmm

An older man can be a great teacher and you can greatly benefit from his greater experience while deeper his wisdom and ability to listen will prevent him from forcing it onto you.professor

But most of all, he can be too good a friend to lose because the relationship will mean more to him than the sex. Physical intimacy is the cherry on the cake and not the object of the issue. He has done his conquering and has nothing to proof. If it happens then it does, if not, then so be it.hug

So there may be more in an older man that meets the eye and that sexy young girl who dropped her hunk to marry an old man was perhaps much smarter than what you give her credit for.wow

You make a good case for marrying an older man, perhaps I ought to consider it uh oh wow grin

Zman.
Have you considered a middle aged lady boy laugh
Not that im on the market. uh oh
angel an older man, a young girl wouldn't come with all the benefits Cat mentions wink laugh wine
I have also come across cases here in my country where beautiful young girls are married to very older white men in their 60's and even 70's. I even asked some of them why they did it and their answers vary.....

some for economical reasons - they want to raise their standard of living. others do it out of pure love cos these older men really knows how to treat them just as you mentioned in your blog Cat...Even others did it so they can get to travel and/or move abroad....Everyone of them has their own good reasons and they all seemed to happy that way.....cheers
Howzit Katvoet wave hug

Ever heard the saying, "better an old man's darling than a young man's fool"? Maybe something to do with that?

I never understood it myself dunno
Non, hmmm , so the best of both worlds, there's an idea laugh rolling on the floor laughing beer
Angel, what"s your pick...an older one or a younger one???laugh laugh

Donald Trump married a younger woman for her assets...and she married him for his assets...everyone got what they wanted...wine
@ Zman: Uh, Ok! Just checking with you!. . . . rolling on the floor laughing
@ loulou

laugh yes, they got their asset's worth...thumbs up
My last GF was 13 yrs younger..never saw the age gap....but yes they like the settled man..as long as you take care of your self should be fine..but of course there is the financial thing !,,definitely a factor ...but also experience..and that can mean anything. I was her wise old owl. others that are interested in me are also in their mid 30's..Im 49 in August

I also got the older late 50's early 60's interested in me before..so young women want older men and when they pop their clogs..get the inheritance they want a toy boy...they want it all !!!!..I even had a 30 yr old after me saying she is fed up with young men messing her about and was after me but its to young i feel..she could be my daughter...yuk !.
angel
I personally would want a man who looks like Adonis, the brains of Einstein, and the pocketbook of Getty and the wisdom and kindness Ghandi...is that too much to ask for...hahaha...wine
Angel, doing good and loving it...laugh
There is no new man in my life yet and if I do find one, he will definitely be an older man too....so I can be pampered etc etc....applause hug cheers
wave Loulou; You Go Girl!!! thumbs up
What are the benefits of the older man, having fresh meat and a new set of horns, well that is understood i guess.
After the older man is not able to function as expected then the divorce kicks in.
cat I think you meant older men of yesteryear. These days older men (and ladies) value themselves more and after working hard most of their lives want to have it all and not be mother or father to younger people. applause cheering grin
smart
Money may take years off their appearance...a youthful appearance...wine
Yes Loulou, money can change peoples...

if i have a lot of money.... hhmm... I would do plastic surgery to be looks like flirty Lady Diana....rolling on the floor laughing
@smartass.she was 29..I was 42.she had 3 kids..I didn't look at her age..we just laughed and got on so well..we Just connected...it was that simple !
Ok, so I am back
Took a bit longer than what I expected but then it does not look as if I was missed at all.laugh
One of the best parts in my past relationship with a 28 year older man was that I stopped paying any attention to my physical aging. I'd like to point out a very important part of the equation: Lovers make the best care takers and it's a valuable reason for older man to chose a younger partner.
I will not marry and older man, nor do I want to marry a younger man... I am fine on my own and proud to be me. I'm happy with me.
laugh yay teddybear
Hi Z
Hmm, If you fancy to marry an older man you will have to check with your local laws but you are going to battle to find somebody older than you.
laugh
rolling on the floor laughing doh
Oh it can't be that hard help there's you for a start dancing laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Tatami
I think that is taking it a bit far but not a record yet. Some years ago one of the Rolling Stones was involved with a 13 year old Canadian girl.
rolling on the floor laughing doh
rolling on the floor laughing easyboy1..... fresh meat...
Hi Angel
I'm sure he want an older man but how much older do you get?
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Hi Non!
cheers wave
But Z
Older women are also good. Especially the richer type.
They don't smell
They don't tell
They don't yell
They don't swell
And they're grateful as hell.

laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Carmen
Come on girl, for an old woman youre not very old yet.
laugh rolling on the floor laughing
I know English is my first language but even I might struggle to put Zman & toyboy into the same sentence sigh but then I just did so there's hope for me yet banana
Sweet mornings kitten applause Ive only married and dated younger men smitten cuz then you train them your way boxing but then again I am attracted to older bald men confused thinking its all about how much ive been drinking cuz after awhile they look the same drinking

Hope you have a wonderful day 2 kitten cartwheel buddies cartwheel
Hi Loulou
It sounds like a bad deal. His assets will appreciate in time while hers will depreciate. dancing doh
rolling on the floor laughing laugh
Hi Ian
I think that is a good difference. Since I finally divorced when I was 27, most my girlfriends were about 30% younger than I was at the time. My second wife also had that difference and age was not the cause of the breakup. My current GF is almost 18 years younger than what I am.
cheers wave
Hi Easyboy
Yes that happens but a good prenuptial contract can do wonders.laugh
cheers wave
Hi Red
Long time no see, hey!

Yes, I can understand that and nor will I want to sit with a 20 year old doll face. At my age a younger woman is around 40\45. Her children are now grown up and ready to leave the house if they had not done so yet.
hug wave
Hi Smarty
I have always preferred a younger GF. No particular reason and as you know yourself my current GF is also much younger.
hug wave
