So do young men get disturbed when they see a 50 year old man with a woman 15, 20, and even 30 years younger because it looks like a father and daughter or because they can't compete with men that age? It probably is a combination of both perspectives. With modern medicine, men over 50 can get their lost vitality back by popping a few pills from their doctor to put them "back in the game". Some women are dating men over 50 because they can see past the gray hair to the inner traits while other women are looking for an unhealthy replacement for an absent father.

Both the women dating men over 50 and the men they date need to evaluate the reasons behind the attractions. Women who are trying to make up for not being taken care of by a father when young should read a self-help book and date someone their own age. Men who think they can stay young by dating a young woman will see the same old gray haired man in the mirror.

If the women who choose to be dating men over 50 and the men they are meeting have a sincere interest in one another, disapproving and jealous looks from others should never stop them from finding happiness together.

There are many reasons for an energetic young woman to date responsible and successful men over 50. Gold digging or to win trivia games doesn't have to be among the reasons. Here are some of the other reasons young women are dating men over 50 years old:

Great source of knowledge-while women who date men their own age have limited conversation topics, a woman who dates an older man has a wealth of knowledge she gains while listening to her partner. School can be boring and learning on the arm of an adoring older man that she loves and respects is much more fun. It also makes her extremely interesting in other circles because an older man can broaden her horizons in a way young men can't and it gives her much more to talk about.
Skilled at spoiling-a young man might take a young woman for granted but an older man won't. Dating men over 50 will get a woman spoiled fast because he's well past game playing and very appreciative of having a young woman who looks past gray hair and some wrinkles and see who he really is. While some young men can barely find their wallet when the check comes, a man over 50 will not only pay for dinner and the tip promptly, he will have often started the date with a gift of flowers.
Great conversations-while young men want to tell young women about the same drunks but at a different party and how fast their trucks can go this week, an older man has interesting and usable information to share when having conversations. Young women are motivated to have things to talk about because an older man might not be as distracted by a low cut top and her intelligence level will matter to him.

As long as both partners have healthy motives, dating men over 50 can not only benefit the man, but the young woman as well.
