What's The Attraction? - Page 2

Despite the jokes regarding a younger man dating an older woman, these men have a genuine interest in pursuing them. Those who are bold enough to pursue their preferences, usually find it quite satisfying. For those who fear ridicule or rejection from either their friends or the woman they desire to get to know better, have found the Internet an easier method of meeting them.

Younger men are more mature than many of us give them credit for. Given half a chance they can outshine most older men in the ways they make a woman feel. Because of their younger age, they bring innocent fun back into an older woman's life, they share in the household responsibilities rather than place that burden on her shoulders completely with the attitude that it is woman's work. They enjoy talking, they communicate well, they aren't afraid to show their emotions, and love spending time with children.

For the older woman this is a dream come true. All the things she needs as a woman are found in the younger man. She finds herself feeling alive and has found her equal that just happens to be a man much younger than herself. She is loved for who she is not for what she looks like. She is pampered, spoiled, and doted upon. She has found the perfect scenario...one of both give and take. And for some it means feeling really loved for the first time in their lives by a man because so many older women were abused in one form or another in a previous relationship.

It may seem strange to the outsider who has never been in such a relationship. And it is usually those who form opinions about something they have never experienced. But those people need to understand two people are attracted to each other for the same reasons any other couple is. Just because there happens to be an age difference of more than a few years doesn't make it any different or any more abnormal. Most age gap couples never set out to date someone much younger or older than themselves initially. It just happens to work out that way.
