Ideally, age would make no difference in whether or not you find someone attractive enough for a relationship. But, the reality is that if you are considering dating a younger man, age really matters. If you are a woman over 40, you may have considered it.

Do older women like younger men?

According to a Singles in America survey, over 80% of women say they’re interested in dating a man 10 years younger, and 90% of men are interested in dating a woman 10 years older.

Women who are dating younger men have more choices in the available dating pool. But, here’s the thing. Because our culture is so obsessed with youth and beauty, being over a certain age can make you feel like you are at a disadvantage.

That feeling may be accurate to some extent. It can be a huge ego boost to have a younger man find you sexy, beautiful, and adore you. But these age gap relationships with older women are often temporary and it’s usually because of some pitfalls you didn’t consider.

Katie Couric has been married to John Molner since 2014 and he is six years younger. Kim Kardashian just broke it off with 13-years younger boyfriend Pete Davidson. Age was one of the reasons for their split.
