Dating A Younger Woman Pros and Cons

Dating a younger woman has both pluses and minuses to consider, but much like anything we do in life, it's a decision you will inevitably have to make for yourself as some people put little stock in one's chronological age and could care less what anyone else thinks, while some are concerned with outward appearances and what others might think.  

Here are just a few of both the pros and cons to consider of dating a younger woman and some of the situations that commonly affect couples of substantial age differences: 

Pros To Dating Younger Women


  • Young women typically have a lot of energy and an admirable zest for life. This can be refreshing for older men, especially those who feel old, tired, or jaded. 
  • Similarly, dating a younger woman can help you feel younger yourself. Who doesn’t want to feel more youthful and energetic?
  • Young women are generally healthy and at their most attractive. Obviously, men are attracted to health and beauty.
  • Young women have more time to start a family and are less likely to feel driven by their biological clock. This can be important to men who want children sometime in the distant future. Young women also have better fertility rates and a decreased risk of complications.

A younger woman may be more attracted to an older man if she's looking for someone with maturity, experience, and also someone who won't be prone to playing the same immature games that men her age are notorious for. Younger women are also often full of vitality, with a certain innocence about them, having a certain zest for life that, unfortunately, pales in some of us as we age and allow ourselves to become jaded or complacent over time.

Cons To Dating Younger Women


  • May/December romances can mean mismatched goals and priorities. For example, a young lady may be focused on having fun and living in the moment, while her partner may more interested in settling down and planning for the future.
  • Men and women in relationships with a significant age difference must also contend with different levels of maturity and wisdom. Some couples deal better with this discrepancy than others.
  • May/December lovers are less likely to have things in common. This may or may not cause issues. 
  • Young women may not be ready for a serious relationship or know what they’re looking for in a mate.

Younger women are also looking for father figures, or even worse, a "sugar daddy" to pay for all of their wants and needs. Unless this something that doesn't bother you and you're fully aware of the ramifications and the consequences of being used by someone purely for money, steer clear of women with this type of behavior on their agendas, if not for your self respect, but for your wallet.  Thankfully, the long standing stigma of a dirty old man has finally begun to fade when to comes to an older man dating a younger woman, as after all, it's now become far more socially acceptable for an older women to date a younger man, so why not strive for equality all the way around?
