Older men have always been and will always be fascinating to women. That's a fact there's no running away from, boys. Of course, we generalize here, and it is possible to find idiots in the older age group too. Likewise, it is also possible to find wise old souls trapped in younger bodies.
You think you do everything right when it comes to wooing women - you manage to look presentable, you crack witty one-liners (stolen from Oscar Wilde's quotes), you criticize Honey Singh just the right amount, and make the right noises when she speaks. But somehow every girl you like ends up picking your senior instead of you. Pay heed and you might be able to grasp where the problem lies.
Here are 12 reasons why women go for older men.
1. They Don't Play Mind Games
Now this is not to say they are boring. They can be witty and interesting as hell. Just that their idea of fun does not include sitting in front of their phone and not picking up their woman's calls.
2. They Have Old-World Charm
Not many women fancy the idea of hearing a "Heyyy whaddupp babesss" on their first date. Whether it is pulling chairs, getting flowers, or simply giving a peck on the cheek instead of shoving your tongue down her throat, nothing melts a woman's heart more than keeping things old school.
3. They Know How To Pleasure A Woman In Bed
Hands down, older men are way better in bed. They know what women want, and know their bodies as well as they know their beers. They have seen much variety, and definitely more than just p*rn. The delusions created by p*rn have been shattered long ago, and they are as real in bed as it can get.
4. They Are Smarter And Wiser
With all those years in their system, they have to got to be smarter than their younger counterparts busy guzzling pint after pint of beer. Let's face it, boys, older men are wiser and more mature. People are silly when they are young. And women don't like waiting for the boys to grow up.
5. They Don't Try To Change A Woman
While everyone likes a stylish and pretty woman, older men don't beat themselves too much over a girl's nail polish or that single strand of white hair. They are more concerned with what lies inside, and are more accepting of a woman's imperfections. Unlike younger boys, they don't attempt to change the woman they fall in love with. They are not judgmental, period.
6. They Can Take Charge

Older men often hold an image of authority in a woman's mind. Whether it's deciding which place to eat in, or booking that holiday package, they know when to take charge, and do it without being overbearing. Now it is a truth universally acknowledged that women tend to date daddy figures. Somebody who reminds them of their fathers, and assures them (if only subconsciously) of a protected and safe environment. The unsaid promise that they will be there in times of trouble is enough to make a woman's heart melt for them.
7. They Can Hold An Interesting Conversation
The complimentary trait that comes with more wisdom is the ability to hold a interesting conversation for more than 30 minutes. And the conversation doesn't necessarily have to have sex in it for it to be interesting.
8. They Are Well Settled In Their Careers
The older men are well established in their careers; they are financially more stable, and the promise of a calmer life is something no woman can say to. It might come across as shallow, but women looking to settle down often tend to go for the nice guy with a stable job and a house.
9. They Are Gentlemen And Treat Women Better

The one major difference between a man and a boy is the way he treats the women in his life. Older men have been around for long, and understand women better. They are more sensitive towards the feelings and needs of a woman. By now, they know the perfect responses to questions like "Honey, do I look fat?" or "Baby, where are we heading?"
10. They Are Not Hell Bent On Scoring Chicks
Older men are more secure in their skin. They have been there, done that. They have picked up girls in bars; they have made out with their girlfriends secretly in cars. The world is no longer their oyster. They don't need to brag to their guy friends about the chicks they have bedded. They just want to spend a calm evening with their woman. And nothing is more comforting for a woman than a guy who has eyes only for her.
11. They Know What They Want And Are Not Afraid To Say It
Whether it's casual dating or a serious relationship, they know what they want from a woman and express it without beating around the bush, and they can do so without sounding blunt either. Women appreciate honesty any day.
12. It's A Forbidden Pleasure

The very fact that there is a huge age gap is enticing enough for the partners to be hooked to each other. It's human nature to want that which is forbidden.
