Look, there’s no two ways about it: in the game of love, experience matters. Women are going to prefer an older partner to a man that’s younger. Naturally, there are exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking this is usually going to be true.

It’s a More Equal Relationship

Older men have no difficulty helping around the house. They just help however they can, because they know that you’re both building this dream together. Besides, doing the laundry never killed anyone. Or at least I hope it didn’t.

Financial Stability

While this doesn’t mean every girl is a gold digger, the stability of your finances is a factor you shouldn’t underestimate. Older men usually have their stuff sorted out, have a steady job, their own place,… It gives a woman peace of mind and a feeling of safety.
