When the Older Woman... Dates the Younger Man

Not too long ago, I was asked to be part of a panel of experts to discuss live, on the radio, “Women as Cougars.”  The group consisted of college professors, authors, ministers, counselors, and me—the dating and relationship coach.

I did my best to not embarrass my friends, family, and readers, and to keep the edge out of my voice, but obviously, with that “Cougar” title, I was struggling with some of the implied assumptions.  For starters, why exactly is it that people automatically assume a younger man is DATING DOWN when he dates an older woman?  One panelist offered, “Because, a man has to propagate his genetics, and he has less of a chance of doing that with an older woman.”

Rich single women don’t get a lot of compassion from the rest of the world for their feelings or problems.  There is an unspoken assumption that if you have money, you can buy anything… including love.  Wealthy women may get a lot of pandering, needy, or superficial people trying to manipulate favors out of them.  But finding peers who are capable of understanding their personal day-to-day struggles is a challenge.  And finding someone to love can be even trickier.

How is that relevant to the rest of us?  Because everyone has complications or dilemmas to consider when they are looking for that special partner.  Very often, people think that if they had all the money in the world, their problems would disappear.  Obviously, many of their troubles would lessen, but when it comes to meeting a mate, if you were very wealthy…a new set of obstacles would emerge.  Finding your soul mate is daunting—for everyone.

“Men don’t like strong women,” accomplished single women often declare.   My response is: “Actually, men LOVE strong women.  What they’re not attracted to are women who seem cold and unapproachable…or women who THINK they’re being strong when they’re really being emotionally distant.”  

SOME men may feel threatened by a woman’s success, but in general, the men that a great woman wants are successful men who are longing for a soul mate. Recently, someone sent the following questions about the challenges of being a “strong” woman.

Dating Questions from a Successful Woman

There is a myth that persists about men being intimidated by high achieving women.  Some women who are strong and successful stay captive of this limiting thought.  It can cause them to be defensive and cautious in a man’s presence unaware of the subtle messages they are sending out.  This one belief can keep a successful woman anchored in the misconception that she can’t find love.  It can cause her to return to the same result, over and over: she’s alone.  

More than likely, men can’t get near her because of her defensiveness, her self imposed isolation, or her lack of emotional availability.  She doesn’t go out; she doesn’t reach out; and most of all…she doesn’t believe she can have a great guy.
