Many benefits of dating older men include ‘financial stability’, says relationship coach
The age gap isn’t a big deal when you end up with the right person, although a relationship with an older man has its own pros and cons.
If you’re sick of a manchild’s games and are looking for a different experience, perhaps you should consider a partner wiser from real-life experiences, while not ignoring the less-than-stellar aspects of the relationship with an older man.
Relationship coach outlines pros of dating older men
The definition of “older men” could vary from person to person. The following advice by life and relationship coach Samantha Lee focuses on a romantic relationship with a man older than you.
In a video captioned The Truth About Why Older Men Date, she first talks about the benefits of the much-debated dating arrangement – a relationship between an older man and a younger woman.
She says they tend to be more experienced, which is important to establish a stable relationship. Men who have seen the highs and lows of a romantic relationship are easier to count on than some younger men who are afraid of commitment, intimacy and are emotionally unavailable.

The second benefit is extension of the first – “they are more mature,” she says. This could mean they respond better when the relationship is met with hiccups.
It’s worth considering dating older men if you’re looking to settle as they would be keen to adhere to the societal timeline of an ideal life, even if it’s much later in life.
There’s nothing wrong with expecting your partner to be financially stable, especially if you share similar life goals. Men are more likely to be sorted with money when older.
Most older men know what they want in life and it’s a fact that applies to any gender. As Samantha points out – “they are more direct and honest. They don’t tend to play games.”
There are some drawbacks, too
A relationship with an older isn’t devoid of issues and if you plan to go down that path, the relationship coach discusses some cons that shouldn’t be ignored.
Samantha says, older men may be more possessive, and controlling, and come with more baggage than younger men.
It’s also worth considering that aged men could be more critical of things, including you, and have less tolerance for drama.
Speaking of financial stability as a benefit, you may be wondering what wealthy men think of a woman’s age – don’t worry, we have found the answer to that as well.
Professional matchmaker Gina, who has dealt with plenty of affluent clients, claims that wealthy men are rather interested in women in good shape regardless of the age.
The majority of men do not care about the number. They care how you look for the number right?, she says. So, wealthy men are attracted to women who look younger than or look phenomenal for their real age.
