When a superstar older man gets together with a young model or starlet, it makes the news, but doesn’t come as a surprise. But when we see young women dating older men in our city streets, it is the subject of intense gossip. There must be a lot of gossip going around, because it’s happening more and more often.
Look at the angle the media takes when they write about a popular personality dating an older man. Then look at the angle it takes if she has fallen out of favor with the media. In both cases, they are writing from stereotypes, never from solid information. The media doesn’t help us learn the truth at all.
For a change, why not ask the women why they have chosen to date an older man. You might be surprised to discover that the answer doesn’t usually fit the stereotype. One common reason cited by women is that older men are more mature than younger men. They enjoy being with a man who is mature and experienced enough to relate to beyond the turmoil of hormonal rushes.
Is youth always sexier than age? If you judge it by the age of the “sexiest man in the world” polls, it doesn’t look like it. Someone under the age of forty rarely if ever makes it to the top of those polls. Why wouldn’t the same thing be true of the rest of the male population.
Fifty years ago it was true that wealth was something that was accumulated slowly, over time. Since the eighties, however, young men have been climbing over older men’s backs and getting to the top faster than them. The old “gold digger” myth no longer holds water, because a woman today can more easily find a wealthy young man to date than a wealthy older man.
These are just a few of the reasons for young women dating older men. There are probably as many reasons as there are men and women. One thing is clear – it’s happening a lot more often these days. It may be time for young men to worry.
