Dating young women is a particular challenge for guys.   If you are dating women who are under the age of 25 and you are 7 or more years older than she is, you need to read this article on dating young women.

There is a stereotype that women who date older men are gold diggers.  But, this applies to very few women. Actually, many young women are just out to have a good time.  They are not looking for marriage.  If you happen to be attracted to a younger woman, you need to play into this “good time image.”

Younger women are more whimsical, flirty, passionate, and romantic than their older sisters.  They’re less ready to settle down and have children.  You will get a lot of mileage out of having a youthful outlook.  Being recklessly spontaneous, maintaining a high level of energy, and focusing on the emotional connections will go a long way to helping you with dating young women.

To this end, you can’t be emotionally needy when dating young women.  For instance, if you were dating a woman near your own age, you would pick up the phone every time she called.  You might return her text within 5 minutes.  A younger woman doesn’t need this kind of intensity.  You can wait to return a text or let a call go to voice mail.

Many men who are dating young women are conscious of the age difference and are insecure about being older.  This will actually hasten the break up.  Don’t bring up the issue of age unless she does.  Also, don’t make cracks about her youth or about “cradle snatching.”  Don’t refer to yourself as her “daddy.”  When you are unfazed about the age difference, she will be too.

As an older man, you have several advantages over the frat boy guys she is used to dating.  

You have more experience.  You are interested in things beyond the latest video game release.   You make more money and can take her to more upscale places.

You are also more sexually sophisticated.  You will know how to satisfy her in bed and be more in tune with her needs.

Men mature more slowly than women, which may be why so many young women look to date older men.  They are looking for someone in their same range of emotional development.

Dating young women isn’t just a modern thing either.   In every society across all time, there has been a gap in the average age of coupling men and women.  While in the United States right now, that gap is a mere 2 years, in many societies that gap ranges from an average of 5 to 15 years.

If you are interested in dating young women be aware that there are challenges posed because of societal expectations and conditioning.  However, there are many advantages to dating young women.
