Since it is the 21st century and women have been fighting so hard to be equal to men. We are not just talking about dating here. We are talking about everything, career, financial, status and power. For centuries, we have been working so hard to prove that we can do everything just as good as men or maybe even better. This should be the same when it comes to dating younger men.
We were criticized when we date younger men while men get praised for dating younger women. We have to deal with being called “Cougar” and men on the other hand are just called “Men.”

While it’s become more and more socially acceptable, we are still outnumbered by 2/3. Over 30% of women today are now dating or with younger men.
Why do older women find younger men attractive and what does age have anything to do with it? When it comes to love, the heart has a mind of its own and probably its own language so who cares about age?
.
When we are talking about younger men, we are talking about someone who is at least 5-10 years younger.
Why would women choose to date someone who is younger, when they can date someone who is older and more established in life?
The answer isn’t that hard. Older women do look better than the past, we take better care of our body, and some of us do look better than younger women in their 20s. Look at Demi Moore, Halle Berry or Jennifer Aniston, they are smoking hot. We look young and we feel young.
We are more independent and no longer need men to take care of us, and like it or not younger men are the one who seduce us. Why do younger men want to date older women? Pretty much the same reason as why we choose to date younger men. It’s totally a freedom of choice.
Younger guy are more spontaneous, fun and full of energy and women start to hit their sexual peak in their 30s. So in a way it’s the sexual power thing. I think for me dating younger men=more power. Independent women like to call the shot and they usually can’t do that with older and well establish men. No, we are not talking about bossing someone around and telling them what to do. We are talking about having a say in decision makings. Men who like to be in power usually date someone who can be their arm candy. For women who are independent and like to have their own opinion, find that older men are less willing to give in.
I can’t speak for other women on why their date younger men. I can only speak for myself. I do look a lot younger than my age so I get asked out by younger men. After telling them my age, they still don’t care and want to date me anyway. I should know better right? After all I am the adult. OK, just because I date younger men that does not mean, I would never date older men. It's just mean that I have not met one that I was into enough to date. When men who is at least 10 years older than me asked me out, I find that to be creepy (weird how that sound).
When they are 1-3 years younger, I don’t considered that as being younger but when someone who is 10 years younger asked me out? It’s questionable and I have pass on it before mainly because I know my family and friends wouldn't approved and I was too focus about the future and not "the power of now."
The thing is I don’t think that most people choose to date someone base solely on their age. For some age may be the main factor but it‘s also depends on what they are looking for in a relationship. It’s the person that they are choosing date, not the age itself.
My decisions are base on whether or not I am attractive to the person and how compatible I am to that person. I know that in the long run it probably wouldn’t work but it’s not like I am looking for a marriage proposal from someone who is 10 years younger. All I want is to live a little and enjoy life while I can.
When it comes down to it, I always asked myself this one question? If men can do it, why can’t I? I’m only going to live once and I should enjoy.
