It may not surprise you to learn that more and more older women are seeking out men 10-20 years younger than themselves for romance and partnership.
You may have also come across the phrase Cougar, which some of these woman have proudly dubbed themselves.
Celebrity cougars such as Sadie Frost and Patsy Kensit have led the trend in the UK. Hollywood has also embraced couples such as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher who share a 15 year age gap.
But the big question is why? What it is about young men that drives these women wild? The answer may surprise you.
At first, it may seem that just passion pulls these couples together in a typical Mrs. Robinson scenario: older woman seduces younger man to satiate her sexual appetite.
However, this is only part of the equation. No one will deny that an older gal maybe more appreciative of a younger man's toned abs than her 20-something counterparts, but there is more to the story. Yes, she may actually want you for your personality.
Many cougars are looking for a young man to bring fun and excitement into her life. According to a popular internet dating site targeted at older women who seek younger men, finding a partner who is up for adventure was a big reason to go for a more nubile partner.
Young men are usually less jaded by life and may be more adventurous than older men. Since cougars are usually financially secure and aren't looking for a partner to provide them with this, they are able to choose one who can fulfil them with the thrills they seek.
Many older woman also enjoy mentoring their partner. Cougars have life experience that younger women simply don't.
They can use their wisdom to help their young men, while getting a lot back in return. Many young men also enjoy this feature of dating an older lady, which allows them to learn new things and be with a confident woman. Older women generally feel more secure in their own self-image, which is another huge turn on for a younger man.
Pure biology is another factor fueling these romances. Women often live much longer than men and an older woman may want someone who can keep up with her as she ages. Not only are women living longer, they are also able to take better care of themselves than in the past. From gyms to cosmetic surgery, young men are usually shocked at the age of some cougars. Looking stunning at any age is a fact of life for these older women.
If you never thought that Botox could be a great Valentine's day gift, than think again. Supportive, financially secure and sexy are just a few of the benefits of dating a much older woman. She can teach you new tricks both in the bedroom and outside of it, so get ready for the ride of your life with your very own cougar.
