11 Things Older Women Who Date Younger Men Are Tired Of Hearing

There are so many rules women are expected to follow when they are in a relationship. They should be slim. They should look pretty. But do they always have to be younger than their partner? Hell, no! Would you believe that in this age and time, people still frown upon older women who date younger men??

Here are 11 of the many things people say to older women for dating younger men.?

1. He looks like your son.

Saying this is not only hurtful, but downright offensive. Two people’s relationship, who don’t find their age gap a hindrance to their love, should not be anyone else’s business. And it’s usually the woman who has to hear this. Luckily, many couples ignore these naysayers..

2. Your relationship has no future.

People will not shy away from harping on that a May-December relationship has no future, even when there is no evidence to support that. Women who date much younger men do end up getting married to their partners, having children, and leading fulfilling lives.?

3. You will die before him.

tenor

Seriously, some people have no filter and they will try their best to warn women who are older of their ‘impending’ death. Being older doesn’t guarantee an earlier death - that said, no one should ever wish death upon anyone! ‘And guess what, you’re gonna die too.”

4. Why don’t you get married?

Then there those who think that the woman is zooming past her marriageable age. Also, the ticking biological clock is sounding louder to them by the second. The only solution left is to suggest marriage. Somehow, the age gap magically disappears when wedding bells ring.?

5. You are such a cougar.

tenor

Cougars are women who prey on young and innocent men. So by default, people swear by this definition and extend it as a ‘courtesy’ to women who are older than their male partners. For those who need a lesson, a cougar is a confident and independent woman who young men seek out of their own accord.

6. Your man will cheat on you one day.

tenor

Because there are plenty of fish around - young fish, mind you. Or, if he can go around with one older woman, he can ditch her for another. Older women, therefore, must stay cautious while dating a younger man. What holds any relationship in place is the understanding between two people, age has nothing to do with it.

7. What... is he is just having fun?

tenor

It’s bad enough to ask an older woman this question, let alone question a man’s integrity. Younger men can be as successful and committed in a relationship as older men. So, why should that change the minute they fall in love with an older woman? Pray, do tell.?

8. Date someone your age.

tenor

If that was her motivation, the woman wouldn’t find herself in a relationship with a younger man in the first place. Love happens irrespective of age. It may be blind, it may be super exciting, but it also survives the tests of time. In this context, the tests being these mindless pieces of advice.?

9. Does he have a bank balance??

tenor

There is no good way of asking this question without risking the insult of calling the woman a gold-digger. Concern is alright when it is backed with genuine love but inquiring about an older woman’s younger partner’s bank balance is taking things too far.

10. Don’t gain weight or you will look even older.

tenor

Age is a wondrous thing - it shows on the human body. But weight gain has nothing to do with it! Society will always pressurise the woman to stay slim and fit, even if she is younger, just so that she can remain ‘pretty’ for her man. No offence, but this is a lot of bull.?

11. The sex must be so good.?

tenor

Why? Because the woman who is older is spent and worn out? Sex is amazing when it is new but it is wonderful when it is had with the person you love. People who ask such personal questions must function out of a space devoid of the excitement. What other explanation is there to explain this idiocy??

All you women who are dating younger men, don’t let these people dull your spirits. As long as you are confident of the love you have for your man, nothing can break you guys apart.?
