“You Go, Girl! Why Age is Just a Number and Women Dating Younger Men is a New Norm”
3 Reasons Women Date Younger Men
A friend told me the other day that she was in love with a younger guy. She cringed as she awaited my response.
I smiled and asked for more tea. I was excited for her and for the fact that more women are becoming comfortable and honest about their desire to date younger men.
‘But Ese, he wasnt even born when I was 15 years old?” she said to me.
“Well, thank goodness you didn’t date him then.” I teased. “You met him in your forties and by now he is anything but a child.”
She hugged me. The hug was unexpected so I asked why she did that.
She said it was the first time she didn’t feel judged after telling someone that at 40, she was dating a 25-year old. During our conversation, I shared some of my experiences dating a younger guy and how exciting and forbidden it felt at first. Life seems to be changing with regards to women dating younger men. At least in my experience.
Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “age is just a number?” Especially with regards to romantic relationships.
