Younger women are fun to date, there’s no doubt about it. But older women can be a hell of a lot of fun too if you know how to do it right that is. Dating older women is an entirely different ball game, but if you’ve never played it before you wouldn’t know any better. And the chances of you figuring it out along the way with women who know what they want and being successful are slim to none. Dr. Gilda Carle, International Relationship Expert, Media Coach, and author of 8 Tips to Understand the Opposite Sex, gives us the low down on how to successfully date older women – and enjoy it.
- Let Her Take the Reins every Now and Then
“Older women have more life experience than you do, so be prepared to give up the reins on occasion,” says Dr. Carle. “If you’re a control freak, you’ll have some challenges dating an older woman. They know what they want and they’ll have a good reason for it, so hear her out and don’t be too quick to judge. In return, she’ll give you an insight into what she’s learned which gives you the opportunity to learn and grow without having to go through it yourself. Dr. Carle says many couples’ arguments stem from one partner feeling that their voice doesn’t count, which is, in turn, interpreted as “I don’t count.” But if you’re happy to share the decision-making duties with your partner, you’ll probably find greater equity between the two of you, with less of the relationship burden landing on your shoulders. 2. Be Prepared for Raw Honesty
“Older women are more likely to speak up about their likes and dislikes,” says Dr. Carle. While younger women will often conceal their true emotions for the sake of relationship peace, an older woman will speak up when something doesn’t sit well with her. If she doesn’t like something you’ve said or done, be prepared to hear about it. But this will ultimately make your relationship stronger as you’ll never have to second guess how she’s feeling. In relationships with younger women, you’re often left guessing what’s on their minds. “When you ask an older woman what is wrong, don’t expect her to give you the pat response that younger women offer: ‘Oh, everything is okay.’ Just be prepared to accept it when your older woman does speak up,” she says. “It may be the first time that you’ve heard such raw honesty.” 3. There’s no Three Date Rule
Older women make their own rules and are often “quicker to jump into bed with you, but they will be slower to expect a happily-ever-after,” says Dr. Carle. “If you’re a guy who is looking for sexual satisfaction, an older woman who has been off the market for a while may be a good choice.” This doesn’t mean older women are just after sex, but after a certain age, we begin to care less about what other people think. If younger women weren’t judged so harshly on how many sexual partners they’ve had, we think we speak for the majority of them when we say they would have more fun with it – women have sexual needs too! Dr. Carle explains that many older women take on the formerly male mentality of “sex-is-merely-sex.” So if you want more than a sexual relationship, have some patience, and develop a real, deep friendship to see where it goes. 4. They Know What Satisfies Them in the Bedroom
Just like you’ll have to give up the reins every now and then in life decisions, you’ll have to do the same in the bedroom. Get comfortable with your submissive side. “Older women know their bodies and the kinds of sexuality that satisfy them,” says Dr. Carle. “They are not shy to ask you to touch them ‘there’ rather than ‘here.’ They’re also likely to fetch some of their play toys during a romp under the sheets.” If you like to experiment, you’re in for a treat. Dr. Carle says that if you’re willing to learn new tricks and ways to satisfy a woman, an older woman can be your ready teacher. But don’t ever call her “Mrs,” unless she’s into it, of course. 5. They Hold Themselves to High Standards
Younger women are still figuring out who they are and what they want, so they won’t have concrete standards to hold men to until they figure this out. Older women have high expectations of how they want their men to treat them and won’t settle for less. Even if they’re after a purely sexual relationship, they’ll be certain rules to follow respectfully. Some of these expectations “have emerged from earlier relationships that did not serve them, and their vow is to never repeat the poor treatment again,” says Dr. Carle. She recommends asking your older woman about her relationship past, and what kind of partner she wants now. Don’t be shy. “If you feel you can meet her needs, you might be entering a great interaction filled with mutual respect and admiration.”

- Financial Independence Will Give Them More Power
Older women are typically more financially independent than younger women. “One caveat is that our culture dictates that whoever has the gold makes the rules,” she says. “Therefore, your older woman may tend to want to control more of your dialogue and activities.” When dating an older woman, you need to accept that they may be more accomplished than you and not let it affect your manhood. Giving up more control generally gives you less to worry about, but Dr. Carle urges you to be careful. Be mindful of your relationship and make sure it doesn’t become one where she’s controlling you, leaving you to feel impotent in the union. She may have more money than you, but that doesn’t give her permission to make you feel like she’s worth more than you. 7. Their BS Radar Is Spot On
That person you pretend to be with a woman in her 20s doesn’t stand a chance against a woman in her 30s. If you’re being anything but authentic, she’ll know. You’ve probably noticed that younger women are getting more selective with more BS going around. The charm you used to put on the most beautiful woman in the bar had her in the palm of your hand. Now, you’ve really got to work for it to prove you’re different than the rest. If younger women are starting to catch on, you can bet older women are one step ahead of the game. They’ve had more chances to experience heartbreak than you have. “As a result, their radar for BS is constantly working to weed out the bad apples,” says Dr. Carle. They’re more alert. “When older women see a red flag, unlike younger women, they’re unlikely to continue an interaction until it plays out.” One red flag and it’s game over. “Don’t try to camouflage hollow intentions with sweet expressions of admiration.” Older women know when you’re handing out empty lines, and they won’t be afraid to call you out on them either – you’ve been warned. 8. Maturity Is a Huge Turn On
She wants a man, not a boy. Because chances are she already has children of her own and she doesn’t want to be dating a man child. “Older women have already experienced that role with their own children. Unless you find a woman who is abundantly maternal, many older women will want to avoid playing mommy to a dependent man,” she says. Older women don’t mind dating a younger man at a different stage to their in life. In fact, if you’re significantly younger, she almost expects that you won’t be fussed about the age gap. This can be extremely refreshing and give her a new lease on life. But what she will want from you is maturity when it matters. 9. You’ll Need To Be Willing To Compromise
Older women are often set in their ways. They already know what works and doesn’t work for them, so you may need to compromise more than usual. When dating whilst you’re young, you tend to build a life with that person. You factor them into everything you do because you don’t know how to do life without them. But older women know life without you, they’ve been doing it long before you and will continue to do so long after. They’re extremely independent. “Some older women will be more flexible than others, but they will still require a partner who can ride their waves,” says Dr. Carle. “It’s a real test for any guy to determine how accommodating he can be with a woman.” But she says that the ultimate test will be to see how pliable both parties in a relationship can be when it comes to someone new. Generally, the less stuck in their own ways they are, the more loving they can be. 10. Don’t Expect Them To Take All of Your Advice on Board
Younger women will take more of your advice. They don’t have as much life experience and a generally more open to getting advice from others whilst still in the learning process. Whereas “older women are usually more self-assured, and they will appreciate your guidance with things they don’t know,” says Dr. Carle. “For example, you may have a younger person’s techie know-how that would make an older, less technologically-minded woman swoon. Let your lady know about your gifts and abilities, and let her decide how they can mesh with her needs.” If she doesn’t take your advice on board, don’t take it personally, and definitely don’t get forceful with it. It won’t go down well. Older women don’t like being told what to do, but then again, does any woman?
