5 Disadvantages of Dating an Older Man

The-Truth-About-Older-Men-Younger-Women

Dating or marrying an older man can have many merits, but there are still several potential disadvantages. For instance, an older man is less likely to tolerate changes to his life. Instead, the older man probably has an established and well-organized routine that has worked for him for years, and he doesn’t want to alter it. Because older men can be set in their ways, you should think twice before dating one unless you are willing to do most of the adapting.

1. Older men have had more lovers

Older men have had more wives, girlfriends or lovers than younger guys. This can make them quite wise when it comes to relationships. It can also leave them with a lot more emotional baggage than younger men. Hence an older man may have a bitter and biased point of view when it comes to women. For instance, he might think that all women are nagging shrews because his ex-wife never gave him a moment’s peace.

2. Older men often have children

Depending on the age gap between you and him, his children might even be grown up. If the older man you are dating his grown up kids, it can make things feel very awkward. This is especially true if your man’s adult children take an instant dislike to you, which is something that often happens in such cases. Issues with adult step-children are a very common problem with age gap relationships. Even if your older man’s children are still young, they can still cause problems. Are you ready to settle down with a man who comes complete with a family?

3. Older man might not share all of your interests

An older man might not share all of your interests, values, beliefs and opinions. Furthermore, he is less likely than a younger man to want to go out and party or bungee jump from a bridge at the weekend. Instead, he will probably want to enjoy cozy nights at home, attend dinner parties, or go out for romantic meals at restaurants. An older man’s friends are more likely to share his interests than yours. If you want to go out and enjoy doing all the things that young people usually find fun, you had best avoid the older man. The older man isn’t likely to be interested in these pursuits because he’s already been there and done that.

4. Older men will eventually grow old and feeble

If you date and then marry an older man, you are going to have to deal with the fact that he will eventually grow old and feeble. This may mean that you eventually have to take care of him. It also means that he will very probably die long before you do. Are you prepared to care for your man when he can no longer look after himself? Are you willing to become a widow early in life? Thinking about death and infirmity may be disturbing, but these are questions you must ask yourself before getting involved with a man who is significantly older than you.

5. Prejudice from other people

If you get involved in a relationship with an older man, you will probably have to contend with prejudice from other people. Narrow minded individuals will assume that you are a gold digger who cuckolds her husband on a regular basis. They will also assume that your older man is some kind of sick pervert for dating a woman so much younger than he is. You may even have to deal with your own natural prejudices and misgivings. Your older husband will probably have more physical flaws than he did when he was younger. For instance, his bottom might not be as firm as that of a man in his early twenties, and he might have a bit of a paunch.

Can you look past these physical flaws? If such imperfections are likely to put you off, then you have no business being with a man who is significantly older than you.
