Younger woman, Older man

When you're a middle aged man, there's something incredibly sexy about dating a younger woman. Older men younger women relationships have been around for ages. The men are often stable and want to take care of someone who appreciates all they do. Older women sometimes forget that. They want to control and manipulate the man. I'm not saying a younger woman won't do the same, but the older guy may not care as much. He's secure and confident, and in charge. Maybe not the healthiest relationship for a younger woman and an older man to be together, especially if he has kids her age. But it can work.
