Dating Younger Guys Takes Mutual Respect

By Alan Bentley

Society today is very tolerant when it comes to all number of issues and this is true when it comes to personal interaction. Whereas it might have been frowned upon a generation or so ago, the concept of a woman dating younger guys is now perfectly acceptable and most people won't even raise an eyebrow. As we get more accepting in general we embrace all kinds of lifestyles and understand that it takes this kind of tolerance to develop a modern society.

If you are a woman and considering dating younger guys, one of the first things that you will have to remember is that you will undoubtedly need to display a lot of outgoing energy. This is not to say that you need to try and act like somebody who you are not, but it does mean that you should be quite an outgoing personality and not a couch potato of any kind.

Women who like dating younger guys tend to be attracted to their natural extrovert nature. They may have been through a lot of relationships that have really not given them any inspiration and will be looking for someone who has that extra "spark." They may see their next level interest as being someone considerably their junior.

Many younger men are attracted to women who are more mature and some people consider this to be looking out for a mother figure. This may be the case in some instances and they may even be looking to replace something that they missed out on in their youth, but do not automatically assume this if you are dating younger guys, as this could be to your detriment!

When you are dating younger guys, the age difference may make you feel as if you should be the dominant one in the relationship. This is a mistake, as he will want to feel as if he is a major contributor and you should always bring him into the loop, especially when about to make major decisions.

Don't think about dating younger guys, but think about them as young men. They will have ambitions and will always want to be seen as an equal. You will certainly see friction it you try and stifle this side of a relationship.

Relationships are always difficult to make a go of and this can be especially so when dating younger guys. Generational differences may be brought to bear and while you may think that they can be subtle, they can invariably lead to arguments and disagreements. Both parties must accept that differences will arise and work together to get around them.

Many couples have been able to create and maintain a great relationship between an older woman and a younger guy. If you show respect and restraint, understanding and flexibility you will both succeed.
