Being financially stable isn\u2019t about making $300k a year. It basically is the opposite of being broke, which is a libido-killer for most women. My dad was about 20 years older than my mom and they worked out great for years.<\/p>\n
He married my mother when she was 18 and he was 25, fresh from military duty during WWII. \u201cHe wanted a woman he could mold into the wife he wanted,\u201d my mom told me after I had married. When I heard this, I felt abjectly sorry for my mother, who had felt rescued from her own miserable family situation when she married my dad. What a man may not think about, however, is that even when he has an attractive woman sitting across from him on a first date, she, too, has had a life. She may have operated her own business, been an executive, and had had a marriage that brought her joy and children as well as disappointment and heartache.<\/p>\n
Our bodies are changing, children have usually left home, parents are declining, we may have retired \u2026 all contributing to the losses of being over 60. According to FBI data, 82% of romance scams are on women over 50. The scammers spend months building a relationship only to break hearts and steal millions of dollars. Tell someone where you\u2019re going, what time you\u2019re going and when you are safely home.<\/p>\n
This may be my problem but it is certainly not because I live with my mother. Three couples opened up to TODAY about their relationships and age differences. We can safely assume that there will always be couples that seek to pair up for ulterior motives, perhaps in pursuit of a marriage of convenience. But research also seems to suggest that, happily, true love is still alive and well. Research reveals both evolutionary and social motives to explain women\u00b4s desire to date older men. But regardless of the legitimacy of motive, both parties in men-older age gap relationships often have to overcome stigma and stereotype.<\/p>\n
They often shun newer technology; many are jaded about women and hate relationships, and expect you to make all the changes and sacrifices. I am sure there are great men in all age categories but I am such high energy, I just haven\u2019t had luck with older men. Also, sometimes \u201cneeding\u201d the blue pill to get it up is mental. Im 41, hes 64 and he used to need the pill in previous relationships. Our open communication and our acceptance of one another, has increase his libido, he no longer needs the pill to perform.<\/p>\n
Loving people experience an increase in the production of the number of endorphins. They are often called „pleasure hormones.“ These are compounds which are very similar to narcotic substances in their action. Therefore, there is no better cure for depression than love.<\/p>\n
