If you ask an older woman why an older guy will date younger women she will just make some kind of “hurump” noise and say “They just want an idiot with a nice body” but nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, most older men day younger women because they have a fresh, less jaded outlook, and their opinions about men have not been set in stone yet.

This allows them to have more honest relationships with older guys without the baggage and mistrust that older women bring to the table.

So why exactly are younger women more suitable for older men?

Opinions less set

Younger women have, on balance, fewer life experiences and as such are much less likely to have strong opinions about things. When an older guy meets an older woman, chances are she may be quite opinionated and this can be a turn-off for him.

Younger women are more open to ideas that might challenge their current beliefs but are not so set that they cannot be changed. Older men find this willingness to accept new ideas and to potentially be open to changing their opinions about things very interesting and exciting.
