Dating A Man 6 Years Older Can Make A Woman Happier, Study Shows
Science is proving that perhaps, older men do make better partners in general after all!
The appeals in dating differ between people, but you often see women that enjoy the company of older men as a lifetime partner and wonder if they’re indeed the better choice. And apparently, science is proving that perhaps, older men do make better partners in general after all!
There are some studies that suggest men who date younger women may experience increased levels of satisfaction and well-being in their relationships. They may feel more youthful and energized when spending time with younger partners, which can lead to increased happiness and overall life satisfaction. A happy man is already half of the journey!
What about women? What’s so good about older men?
“Simply because they are more mature,” wrote one woman.
One shared, “It’s the appeal of the experience and maturity.”
Another commented, “Besides the looks, probably the knowledge and maturity? I mean, there can be petty and crappy guys at ANY age, but I suppose someone who has the physical, emotional, and financial security is very appealing and often found more in older men.”
“They are more mature as others have said. They are also a lot more straightforward so there are very few games if any,” shared another.
Another one added, “I personally find the more mature look more appealing. The added maturity is a nice factor too.”
The CEO of WhatsYourPrice.com, Brandon Wade, shares that through years of dealing with the sales of first dates, he’d learned that men who are 6 years but not more than 10 years older than women, in general, have higher chances of landing a long-lasting relationship. He said, “Women tend to mature faster than men. For this reason, most women don’t like to date men around their age or who are younger than they are.”
Celebrities proved that the age gap could be a source of happiness.
David Hasselhoff is married to Hayley Roberts who’s 27 years younger than the man. He “didn’t think it was right” because of the gap and feared that he’d be taking away her youth, but 7 years later, they’re happier than ever. The actor gushed, “I’ve realized how much I love Hayley and how much we’ve become part of each other’s life.”
Alec Baldwin’s wife, who’s 26 years younger, never imagined she’d be married to someone so much older. Hilaria Baldwin said, “I didn’t expect to fall in love with somebody who was 26 years my senior, but you cannot help who you fall in love with.”
Meanwhile, Sir Patrick Stewart is married to a woman 39 years his junior. Sunny Ozell opened up about the age gap, “He is so youthful and I guess I’m kind of an old worrywart so we bridge the gap. It doesn’t come up much. He’s in better shape than me, which infuriates me.”
