👩🦱👱♂️ What has been your experience dating younger women? 👩🦱👱♂️
Are you considering getting into a relationship with a younger woman? Or have you already been dating a younger woman and are curious about the experiences of others in similar relationships? Dating a younger woman can be an exciting and fulfilling experience, but it also comes with its own set of challenges and differences. In this article, we will discuss the experiences of men who have dated younger women, the pros and cons of such relationships, and tips for making it work.
## Pros and Cons of Dating Younger Women
### Pros
– Youthful energy and enthusiasm
– Open-mindedness and willingness to try new things
– Excitement and adventure in the relationship
– Potential for personal growth and new perspectives
### Cons
– Generation gap and differences in life experiences
– Potential for immature behavior and decision-making
– Pressure to keep up with their social lives and activities
– Concerns about long-term compatibility and goals
## Common Challenges in Dating Younger Women
### Financial Decisions
One of the most common challenges in dating younger women is the difference in financial responsibility and decision-making. Younger women may not have the same level of financial stability or maturity, and their choices can sometimes lead to stressful situations for their partners.
### Lifestyle Differences
Another challenge that many men face when dating younger women is the difference in lifestyle and priorities. Younger women may have a more carefree and spontaneous approach to life, which can clash with the more settled and strategic approach of older men.
### Maturity and Communication
Maturity and communication are also areas where conflicts may arise in relationships with younger women. It can be frustrating for older men to deal with the emotional immaturity or lack of communication skills in their partners.
## Tips for Making It Work
### Communication
Open and honest communication is key in any relationship, and it becomes even more important when there is an age gap. It is crucial to discuss expectations, boundaries, and concerns openly and respectfully.
### Mutual Respect and Understanding
Both partners should make an effort to understand and respect each other’s perspectives, experiences, and priorities. Building mutual respect and understanding can help bridge the generation gap and create a stronger bond.
### Patience and Flexibility
Patience and flexibility are essential qualities in navigating the challenges of dating a younger woman. It is important to approach the relationship with an open mind and a willingness to adapt to each other’s differences.
### Supporting Personal Growth
Finally, it is important for both partners to support each other’s personal growth and development. Older men can offer guidance and mentorship, while younger women can bring fresh perspectives and opportunities for growth.
In conclusion, dating a younger woman can be a rewarding experience, but it also requires understanding, patience, and effort to make it work. By acknowledging the challenges, embracing the advantages, and focusing on healthy communication and mutual respect, it is possible to build a fulfilling and meaningful relationship across an age difference. If you are open to the unique dynamics and ready to embrace the journey, dating a younger woman can add excitement and joy to your life.

Minus the drinking that sounds like a smaller description of how I feel about my lovely wife times. I used to dislike it, thinking if I was organised and across everything why can’t she. Now… I wouldn’t change a thing, she is the life and energy of our family and who would want two of me. Boring, sounds horrible.
Edit: I don’t think I added any value here on reflection
I’m 51M and started dating again about a year ago. I’ve been on more than 50 first dates ranging from 24 to 60. The main difference, I find, is the attitudes of the women.
The 45+ women (the bulk of whom I date) seem more cynical. They’ve been through shit and are tired of men’s BS. Most of these women want a relationship, but they’re not naïve about where our date will lead. Some are more sex-focused but even they want a connection. I also find the older women a bit snobby and overly full of themselves. Granted, I’m dating in Paris, so the women are generally educated and classy.
In contrast, the much younger women I dated (about five in their mid/late-20s and five in their early 30s) were so much easier to be with. They’re immature and silly and laugh about stupid shit. They’re also impressed by simpler things. A weekend excursion, a spa, a nice restaurant – for an older woman this is all standard. For a lot of younger women, it’s like heaven.
(I should point out that I’ve never been in any escort or sugar-daddy situation with any of these women. I never paid anyone anything, and they never asked me for money or gifts. In fact, a couple of them were quite well off. Aside from flowers a couple times, the only money I spent was on things we enjoyed together.)
Another big difference is that the younger women were absolute freaks in bed. I didn’t sleep with most of them, but I did with a few of them. The 24-year-old just wanted to screw all day long. I would be so finished after sex and she would just keep touching me and trying to wake it back up. A 32-year-old was super dominant. I’m used to being in control, but she would just tell me what to do and climb on top of me and ride me like an animal. I was very active in my 20s, but I don’t remember women being so sex-crazed. Or maybe it’s just how younger women are with older men.
Depends on the age bracket.
If you are 50 and date a 40 year old she will most likely be matured and have a career. Her goals and priorities will most likely be established. You will have a planned sex schedule especially if you have kids
If you are 30 and date a 20 year old well….you are dating someone full of energy. Probably had no goals or career or priorities yet. Wants to party and call you up at 3AM for sex.
Of course there is mature 20 year old and less mature 40 year olds…
I was 28 and dated someone 23. The largest age gap by far. Before that, girls I’ve dated or were in relationships with were the same age or a maximum of 2 years younger.
I realized girls born from 2000 onwards, aka Gen-Z, have different communication styles They prefer texting a lot over talking in real life and sharing their life often on social media, to the point they are chronically online and can type on the keyboard faster than I do!
So, in-person experiences dating a Gen Z. Not that many. I would say Gen Z girls aren’t very expressive and bottle things up a lot initially. But when they open up, it’s very explosive to the point I find it endearing. Not to mention, they are more sexually open in conversations than my millennial exes.
Nonexistent, i seem to attract older rather than younger
The cartoons I grew up on, aren’t the same cartoons she grew up on.
Same things you talked about. Not on the same maturity level. Not into the same things. They play games. Fickle.
Horrible. Once I turned 21 (now 33) I stopped dating women under 25 entirely. Now I won’t date anyone too far under 30.
The closest I’ve got to this personally is having a FWB that’s 6 years younger than me (29 to my 35) we’ve been playing together off and on for also about 6 years. We’ve taken breaks from time to time, and we haven’t had many emotionally deep conversations, but we’ve grown comfortable with what we provide each other and have built trust.
For example we both agreed that we didn’t have much in common interest or experience-wise, not enough for a relationship, but we agreed that if we find new sexual partners we need to talk about it. I’ve tried dating a few women (thus the breaks with her) but didn’t have sex with any of them and she was focusing more on her career and school to date previously but is now talking with some guy and taking it very slowly since she’s been slow to trust new people in general (she’s bi, her exgf was apparently really controlling and emotionally abusive).
My experience with her has highlighted the differences starkly. The musical tastes are just an aperitif, she looooooooooves concerts, traveling, and playing one game (Fortnite). She has not communicated well in the past and it’s lead to me matching the energy and struggling to relate despite very much wanting to fuck each other. We’ve had several conversations and it’s gotten better.
Nearly all of the women I’ve dated have been my age or older. Some of it is an emotional connection and communication thing, some of it is a kink, and some of it is that’s who I attract. The kink aspect is that I find mature women, moms especially, very sexy. I have a Mommy kink (the straight guy version of a Daddy kink) that has yet to be really explored since most women are really uncomfortable being called Mommy.
Unfortunately I feel I have to avoid dating moms for my general happiness, I don’t want to be her last and least priority nor do I want to develop a bond with a kid I have no parental privileges for but still expected to help take care of, provide for, and plan around.
So far the biggest age gap to a woman younger than me is my FWB at 6 years while the oldest woman I’ve been with was 18 years older than me (50 to my 32). Most have been 2-3 years older than me though.
I will never date a woman younger than 25. Sex is likely to also be a no thanks as well. There are probably some very mature people around that age but I’m not interested in sifting through them when I’m confident there won’t be enough there to lead to anything. At my age of 35 now the only reason I’m not going to say I’m only dating 35 or older is that nearly all have a kid or kids, have a transient career that explains why they’ve never settled down, or have some glaring problem like an incurable STD or a shit personality. Maybe I’m weird but I’d like to be safe with and like those I want to put my penis inside.
Young women problems are just women problems with less skilled diplomacy skills.
They suck in bed (not in a good way), have an absurd sense of entitlement and avoid accountability at all costs.
Ex wife was 5 years younger, had a ton of unresolved trauma from severe abuse throughout her childhood. She cheated, not for fun or company, but because being mistreated was a nostalgia she wasn’t ready to put behind her. She was 25/26 when we split.
Younger women definitely have younger women problems, and those are exacerbated by other factors like trauma. My girlfriend now is 37 and it’s by far the best relationship I’ve ever had (I’m 32). The communication is unreal. We don’t fight. We’re both too tired of that shit lol. No pressure anywhere, except the occasional “take your ass to the gym” lol
Well the wife had a problem with it. So there’s that.
I was 33/34 she was 21/22.
It was good for 6/9 months then terrible.
They’re much more likely to physically assault you
I was 36, she was 25. Went really well actually. Really liked her. But we lived different lives so it didn’t work out.
I’ve always tended to prefer dating women close to my own age. As I’ve gotten older, my preferred dating age has just kind of naturally gotten older along with me.
But my career took me to Mormon country (Utah and southern Idaho) for a handful of years, and I tended to date younger there. Single women my own age were *extremely rare* there. Almost all single women were in their early 20s. It wasn’t ideal, but, y’know, if I had needs and met someone willing to fulfill them, it was what it was.
In related news, I discovered during that chapter of my life that rebellious Mormon girls are *super fun*. The enthusiasm level is off the charts, which is sexy as hell. Still, I was pretty happy to leave that area and move to an area where older single women aren’t as hard to find. Overall, I prefer that kind of dating scene.
They aren’t “young woman problems” they are “young people problems”. When I was 20 I cared about that stuff too, I’m just not 20 anymore.
I want someone who knows where they are going not someone finding themselves.
When I was a senior in college I dated a 19 year old girl that lived down the hall. I had a crush on her even though we really never talked other than just saying “hi” in passing. In the spring she knocked on my door and asked for help with something. We talked a bit, I found her on social media, asked her out and we dated. Turns out she had a crush on me the whole time too and was afraid to say anything.
It was awkward at times because she couldn’t get into any bars and there was an incident where I had to sneak her back into her building drunk after a party. I liked her a lot, but since I was about to graduate she broke things off and it sucked. I was moving away and sort of grown out of the whole party scene, while she had two years left. It hurt but it had to happen. Definitely think about her every now and then. I wonder how things would have been if we crossed paths at a different point in our lives or if I had asked her out a lot sooner. Could have a least spent the year together. It was fun regardless.
If you’ve never missed work because “the power went out and it reset your alarm clock”, you’re too young for me.
I had a 20 year younger girlfriend. Not because she was 20 years younger but because she didn’t behave like 20 years younger.
They are erratic, don’t know what they want and are easily overwhelmed.
I am generalising obviously.
I’m 37. I find that dating between 28-32 is the sweet spot for me. Fun, loving, attractive, sex – but also established, mature, independent, etc.
I’m in my early 30s and gave up dating women younger than 26. In my experience they tend to:
– Be more influenced by trends/ideas they see on social media instead of thinking independently. It’s almost like some of them are NPCs in a simulation
– Tend to have more entitlement regarding what a man is supposed to do for them without being willing to reciprocate for a man in a relationship
– Lack of financial responsibility by prioritizing wants over needs
– Be more passive aggressive about things instead of having open communication about something that is bothering them
– Be less understanding of you wanting use your free time to relax instead of constantly going out. They are more likely to label you as boring, even if you work 60+ hours a week and just want sleep
Whenever I’ve went out dates or saw for a month or so a women that was 18-21, if I were to say something that even close to life advice I would get always get the same answer. “Thanks dad.” It was clockwork. Even if they were complaining about their friends being selfish, I would say “well you gotta take care of yourself first so sometimes it’s okay to be selfish. I would get “okay dad did you learn that cause you’re old.” I was like wtf I’m only 26.
My experience of dating younger women was that when I was 27 I met my now wife of 35 years. She just turned 19. She was much more mature than most women in their 20’s I had relationships with. Yes, there were some age experience differences but as time went on those diminished. We have built 2 ranches from the ground up ourselves and raised 2 adult daughters who we are very proud of. When a shooting star comes through your universe grab on and go for the ride.
Really well. I have been taking care of myself (diet, exercise, sleep) all my life, so I reach age 30 still looking youthful and high-energy. Women of all ages want to date me (18-35). Due to my work and other activities, I am surrounded by lots of women, including hot young ones. I could abuse my position, but have resisted until this point.
Still, a man has to date, so I have done so with women of all ages. At this point I don’t date women my age or older. They are in a hurry, some are bitter, and can get defensive when we talk about things such as politics. Younger ones are high-energy, fun, and know they have more time. No brainer for guys like me to go for younger girls if options are available.
Feel sad for many women my age and a bit older. I can feel their desperation and lack of suitable male candidates. Just yesterday one reached out to me to grab coffee and politely declined since I am seeing someone right now. This is a cute girl my age with a great career who decided to out of the blue invite me for a date. Younger women will not do this.
I’m mid 50’s and my live in gf is 42.
I wore new tan scrubs to work and one of the nurses told me I look like Han Solo. We had a good laugh about that.
I went home and told my girlfriend and she said “who’s Han Solo?”
The younger girls I’ve dated around 25, will use their anxiety as an excuse for too many things, need a constant stream of texts/attention all day or it will trigger said anxiety, just generally have no idea how to be financially responsible.
I went on a number of dates with different women 10+ years younger than me when I was online dating(and I was never the one to reach out to them). I just felt the age gap too hard. At different stages of life, pretty much nothing in common from our formative years. Sure we may have had some current interests in common, but just couldn’t shake this feeling that we would never be able to truly “get” eachother.
Then there is the elephant in the room in the inherent lopsided power dynamic. At the time I made just over 150k a year, owned a house. Most of them were just getting into their careers, some were in a figuring out what they want to do phase and almost all of them still lived with their parents. I couldn’t help but think, even if I didn’t try to “wield” my superior position economically, it would inherently be a factor. Would they just always “follow the leader” so to speak even if they didn’t want to, where as they wouldn’t with someone that was on a more equal playing field.
I eventually just noped out and decided not to date outside my initial intent which was 5 years in either direction.
My now wife is only 3 months younger than me.
None, I don’t want experience dating young women.
I’m 53. I can’t even talk to anyone under 40 let alone date them.
The fucking SLANG. I’ve been dating the same older woman for years, but younger girls hit on me regularly. I work with a lot of early 20’s men and women in my capacity as a musical theatre director. The way they speak makes me want to put my head through a woodchipper. It’s exhausting. I can’t imagine dating someone like that.
I’ve only ever dated one person younger than me. All the others were around my age or older.
Same problems, the age doesn’t really change anything. My current partner is the same age as me and most of those issues aren’t a factor in our relationship. Age doesn’t matter. Well, it probably matters if you’re dating someone with an extreme age difference.
I’m 48 and divorced and during the pandemic I decided to take a chance with this 23 yr old girl that I had met at a skatepark (I’m a former professional skateboarder) and yes she didn’t have her shit together, she drank too much & didn’t really have any clear career goals. The sex was plentiful but honestly she was a little too inexperienced sexually for my tastes. She was really fun to hang out with but I always felt like she was trying working out some of her daddy issues with me and it got awkward pretty quickly so I broke it off after about a month. Needless to say that ended my curiosity with dating younger women, if the age gap is more then 10 years it’s gonna be really hard to find common ground on alot of things and it will be very difficult to relate to the things that the younger person finds important. Luckily for me one year later a women that I grew up with from my childhood who is the same age as me came back into my life and now we are happily married and I am glad that I don’t have to worry about these kinds things anymore.
I have a 38 yo friend who always hits on 18-20 yo girls and then complains they’re too immature and do stupid stuff. He recently broke the cycle and started dating a 42 yo woman and magically all his issues with women disappeared. Dating someone much younger than yourself might be fun but it will also come with it’s fair share of issues.
As a 30M, in general my experience has been that women in their early 20s tend to be more attention-seeking and commitment-averse than women in their 30s. For that reason I tend to prefer dating women in their 30s.
It felt like I was dating Eva AI sexting bot. She was significantly younger and we shared no common interests, values and topics. It didn’t last long, as you have already guessed.
but how do you feel about their parents being your age? awkward meeting them or not?
Dated a girl in her early 20s. Almost a 10 year difference between us.
Pros: she’d be down to do anything and at any time. Full of energy. No proper goals but was driven to work towards them.
Cons: wanted to party all the time, go out and eat. Travel. Go clubbing almost every weekend. Did not care about losing friends or family if it didn’t go her way (I guess that depends on a person). Did not get along with people older than her.
Long out of the game, but my findings were as expected. All the standard pros of someone younger (which is great for a while), but immaturity, the need to go clubbing still, and future thinking rarely went past 2 weeks.
— I was looking a person to spend the rest of my life, but the couple younger ones I dated were not mature enough for me and I decided to eject both before the 3 month mark. Lesson learnt.
It depends on the maturity and goals of the young woman. I was 31 when I started dating a 20 year old. When I started talking to her, it was without the intention of dating, but the more we spoke, the more that I realized that she wasn’t the typical 20 year old. Some coworkers discouraged me from dating her due to her age, but I’m glad that I stuck to my gut. She was a critical care nurse who wanted to advance in her career and settle down with kids. She didn’t feel the need to go out, party and get wasted. Now almost 13 years later, we have been married for 11 years and have 3 kids together.
I was 19/20 dating a 30/31 year old (I’m a woman and 23 now) and at during that relationship I always wondered why a lot of the time he seemed annoyed by me. looking back it was because 1. we just weren’t right for each other but 2. (more importantly) we were in completely different phases of life. the things i was focused on/were important to me were things that he had already been through or grown out of.
I was 36 and she was 24. She sent me a lot of photos of her working out in the gym and other “thirst trap” type photos. She was overly confident to the point of coming off as a total narcissist but at the same time seemed like she was constantly seeking validation. She complained about not making enough money while also making a very good salary for her age and frequently going on business trips.
Sex was also very weird. Seemed like she may have had a decent amount of experience but it also felt like she watched too much p*rn and it influenced what she thought men wanted? The stuff like switching positions every few minutes and going super rough and fast. She was also very openly and clearly dating multiple people at the same time and it was all just a big turnoff.
I’d be open to dating someone in their early-mid 20s again, but maybe someone who wasn’t so self absorbed for not having a lot to hang their hat on.
