It's a common saying that age is just a number, furthermore, a man or a woman should be able to associate with the age that he or she looks and feels. However, the reality is quite different and intimidating. As much as the success of any relationship may be based on affection and mutual understanding, there are some rigid externalities that always play a role in a relationship's dynamics. Age is one of these externalities.
Here are some of the hardships of dating a woman your own age:
1. You can never argue with biology
A woman's attractive years are in her youth, around age 18 to 30. The moment she hits the big 3 0, she becomes less unattractive with every covered mileage. On the other hand, men age like wine- the older the better.
2. Ageing together is a nightmare
Men tend to lag behind women in maturity, especially in relationships. Dating a woman your own age will be a constant headache since you're both in different phases and stages of life at every particular point and this will often bring conflict on the couple's priorities.
3. Women want and respect older men
For a while now, the reason for this has been overwhelmingly economic. Older men are way more confident and successful, their guidance and experiences command their partner's respect.
4. Men are generally attracted to younger women
Its a consequence of both nurture and nature. To avoid cases of wanton infidelity and frequent heartbreaks, a man needs to find a suitable age difference that can work for him.
5. A recipe for disaster
Given that men are territorial, dating a woman your own age could be disastrous especially when it comes to establishing the true leader within a relationship. It can be a little harder for a woman to surrender control to a man his own age as opposed to an older man.
