Let's face it. Nearly all of us more mature men love the idea of dating a younger woman....MUCH younger....young enough to be a daughter!

There, I said it.

This is not to say that we have a "daddy complex." No, contrary to how much this may upset older women, this is not what is going on. It's actually how we are hard-wired.

Let me explain...

If you go back to caveman days, life was much more about raw instinct than about cultural rules. So men merely "took" women that looked good to them. And the women that looked good were the ones who were the youngest, fittest, and prettiest. It was all about procreation....who might produce the best offspring.

OK, wake up caveman. We don't live in those times anymore, but its easy to see why dating younger women is not something we should feel guilty about. In fact, women of all ages are hard-wired for certain things too. Their instincts are to look for protectors and providers.

So, how can we make all of this instinctive stuff work in today's society? Actually it's pretty easy.

1. Recognize what's happening instinctively beneath the surface of our culture. You already know how women are programmed...just acknowledge that.

2. Be a MAN. Use your age to your advantage. Be someone she can look up to. Someone who has his stuff together. Someone who is accomplished....although that my not necessarily be about money. Someone who is strong....although that my not necessarily be about muscles. THESE are the things that ALL women are attracted to, but will certainly make it much easier to date younger women. If you notice, they are also the qualities that they will have a hard time finding in men of their own age.

All you have to do is do a quick search for terms like "dating an older man" and you'll see how many MILLIONS of younger women are looking for guidance in this arena. Thankfully, this is becoming much more accepted in our society. This is hardly a fluke. Instinct will always win out over culture.

So, recognize you have certain assets like "experience" that make you more desirable than your younger counterparts. As a result, dating younger women is really pretty simple. Invite one back to your cave sometime...I think you'll be surprised!

To Your Dating Success,
