Dating For Older Women: Why It Is So Difficult

Dating is difficult at any age, but it is really a crap shoot when you get older. Women for the most part have the most of it when they are younger. There are a lot of guys they turn down in the hopes that one day they will meet the man of their dreams. This doesn’t happen; what happens is that most women end up at best older and wiser to the ways of the world.  

They have usually been through a few failed relationships and now they are hoping to find a guy who is willing to take them as they are. A lot of men are reluctant because these very same women were not willing to accept them for who they were when they were much younger, as a matter of fact the same woman who wants you to talk to her now probably would not have given you the time of day when she was twenty one. 

Are older women more mature now when it comes to dating? 

Some men may want to believe that they are, infact some women might swear to you that despite the fact that they would have never looked in your direction when they were younger that they have grown up and matured. They can see you now, you exist, and all this time you thought you were invisible. What this does to some men is that when they get older they return the favor. The same women who would not talk to them when they were younger and arguably more attractive want to talk to them now, but a lot of the men want younger. This may seem petty, but it holds a lot of weight in a lot of men’s eyes.  

Think about it ladies, if you rejected a guy when you were younger because you thought you were to cute, to cool, to whatever for the guy then why would you expect the same guy in his thirties to look at you now that he is established and financially stable. You would feel like it was a slap to the face. You’re more mature now that you’re older, or do you just feel like I am good enough that you will settle with me. Men avoid women who they get this vibe from. 

Why the pool is shrinking: 

When women are older and trying to date despite being older and more mature they still have the same tendencies as when they were younger when it comes to picking a guy. The old eighty twenty rule comes into play, they will complain that there are not enough good men yet there are good men all around, they just aren’t attracted to them or they still feel as if the guy isn’t good enough.
