Younger Man, Older Woman Syndrome

Society seems to frown upon women who marry younger men (younger meaning that their husband is a minimum of ten years younger). We tend to assume that it’s always the woman who was the predator. That’s not always the case. 

Anytime a man in his 20’s approaches me, my first question to him is “do you know how old I am?” The response is always the same, “age is nothing but a number”.  

A lot of the times, these men are just looking for a Sugar Mama. They are probably still in school and living at home. They most likely don’t have a full time job and are still riding the TTC. My question to them is  “what are you bringing to the table?.................That’s what I thought, absolutely nothing!

I’ve asked some of these men what attracts them to older woman. The number one response is older woman are more mature compared to women their age. We all know that woman mature faster than men but that doesn’t mean run off and marry them.

There are two major concerns I raise when talking to these men:

1) Fertility

 If he's in his late 20’s/early 30’s and he marries a woman that's ten years older than him, he's not going to have the luxury of waiting 3-5 years to have children. His wife’s biological clock is probably ticking and she’s going to want to get pregnant within six months to a year.

2) Aging

Even though his older wife doesn't look her age, what happens when she starts to? He's either going to have to spend a whole lot of money on Botox or his eyes are going to start wandering.

My advice to these younger men is always the same: be patient and wait for someone who’s the same age or a few years younger. It could save you from a lifetime of regret and disappointment.

What are you views on men that pursue/marry older woman?
