A friend just learned his daughter is dating a man his age, 23 years her senior.  Two years ago that might have bothered him.   He and I both have significantly younger partners, so it’s a topic of discussion now and then (patience!)  He wrote to me:  “You know these younger people are finding out more and more that those of us from the 60’s generation are a different breed altogether. I asked my Daughter who I have a great relationship with and by the way is going with a guy that was a year younger than I am, ” Why are younger woman attracted to me?”  Her answer was straight to the point.  She said ” Dad It’s not just you.  But in your case, you are an attractive man, you exude confidence but are not cocky, make a woman feel like she is the only person in the world when you talk to them, even the old women at the grocery store, you give them your undivided attention when conversing. You are successful, dress well have kept yourself in good physical shape… and always smell good.  But to get to the main reason.  Going out to dinner is not Burger King in a pick up truck followed by hanging out with a bunch of drunken buddies that end up fighting.  And later having to loan the younger guy money for gas because he won’t work.  A quick unsatisfying round of sex where he asks wasn’t that good and who’s your daddy LOL.  Then she said, “Seriously, dinner at a nice restaurant, or he cooks for you.  A movie or a play, long walks and to top it off an older man knows his way around a woman’s body, the sex is awesome and he does not need to ask, he knows he did everything right. ”
