5 reasons younger guys go for older women. Why wouldn't they?

Are you a single woman over 50? Good news: We have more options when it comes to men than you might think.

Today, younger men are pursuing older women with surprising vigor. So, at 50, you can date men 10, 15 … even 20 years younger than you as well as men your own age and older. That’s a lot of choices, right?

Should you choose to focus on younger men, here are five reasons why males in their 30s want to date hot, 50-something women like you:

1. Older women are confident.

By the time we reach 50, we know ourselves pretty well. That means we have more self-confidence, which is very attractive to all men. A confident woman isn’t clingy, needy or desperate. She has her own life and is more likely to not need as much attention from a man — older women are sexy for this very reason. We are just easier to spend time with and a lot less demanding than younger women.

2. Older women are looking younger than ever.

We look younger and hotter than ever. Have you been to a class reunion lately? The women look fantastic. Women are taking better care of themselves and doing more to stay young looking. And compared to men, women have so much more to rely on with good skin care, exercise, the right clothing, hair and makeup and maybe a little Botox. All this gives you a younger appearance — certainly younger than previous generations at the same age. Some experts are claiming 50 is the new 30.

3. Older women are experienced.

Now that we have entered our fifth decade, we have plenty of experience under our belts. Younger men find this exciting and are often seeking to learn more about how to please a woman in the bedroom. This can be a lot of fun as you show him what women like and educate him for younger generations. What a great service you are doing for womankind!

In addition, a younger man's youthful exuberance can bring a lot of fun to dating overall. He is not yet stuck in his ways and is far more likely to try new things with a sense of adventure. They might want to try new foods and restaurants, new cultural experiences, new social activities, new sports and even new positions.

4. Older women aren't looking to start a family.

Once you move into your 50s, you are usually beyond the child-bearing phase. The female biological clock has stopped that super loud ticking that you may have heard in your late 30s and into your early 40s. This can be a huge relief to some young men who don't want to get tied down by younger women who want to start a family.

These men are open to relationships, they just don't want that long-term commitment and family responsibility. So we offer him a great opportunity for companionship and romance without the pressure of marriage.

5. Older women are realistic.

At 50, we are savvy about how the world works. That means we know that dating a younger man may be a lot of fun, but it also might not lead to anything deeper or serious. That is fine by us. We don't mind a little romantic distraction and feel flattered and enlivened by a younger man's attention. Yet, we recognise that the relationship is not as likely to last long-term.

The good news about this fact is that we can relax, go with the flow and just enjoy it. And when the interaction with a younger man stops being fun, we are more likely to simply let go and move on.

Being savvy to the ways of men and how life works keeps you on an even keel and realistic about what you are doing. That freedom can open doors for you to have more excitement and fun than you ever imagined possible with younger men!
