As baffling as it is, a young dude flaunting his Jaguar ranks lower than a man twice his age, standing beside the same car, trying to make his way into the heart of a younger woman. Not to make a case for those just looking for a sugar daddy, but this thought process is more common than you think. And when it comes to two different age groups pitted against each other for a woman’s affection, the older man usually wins.
Why do so many young women date older men. According to Bangalore-based psychiatrist and behavioral expert R.Alford, “It’s not the wealth that women are fancying here… in that case, the younger guy would be at par with the older one. It’s the connect females make in terms of self-earning and owning.” While the young man, in all probability may be borrowing his Dad’s car, or enjoying the fruits of his family wealth, the older person seems more enterprising and self-made. “
“That’s not it. These thoughts are further associated with character traits that one might admire or look for in a man – hard working, reliable, stable and so on…” Alford added. “If you look closely, you’ll also find that most women who date or marry someone who is years older than themselves, is because they might’ve lacked a “father figure” or a solid, dependable male in their earlier years. While other reasons could also be an attraction to experience and the ability to have a calming, reassuring effect on their partner, the first is usually what it boils down to,” she added.
If that’s not enough justification, according to a study published by a famed American university, researchers found that the pairing of older men and younger women is far from a rare phenomenon. They revealed, “With age, men may acquire greater power or possess more – emotionally, physically and financially. They are mature and patient, much more than someone who would be of a younger or similar age to a woman who’s in her young adulthood.”
It surely doesn’t take in-depth studies and rocket science to conclude that with age, men get more confident, connected with the world as well as who they truly are – and hence more attractive. We’ve given you enough logical theories that should stop those panic attacks you get, when you question yourself – “What is wrong with me? Why am I only attracted to men twice my age?” Relax girl, it’s not just you!
