Cradle Robbers
When Older Women Take Younger Men
by
You spot his gorgeous form across the room and your eyes lock.
He winks and you offer up a sexy smile that means--I'm available.
He comes over and introduces himself, and after exchanging a little
about yourselves too you discover--yikes! He's younger than you are.
You search your mind--what do they call women who date younger
men? Cradle-robbers, among other things. But he's so darn cute and
the attraction is definitely there, right? That's when it hits you, the
stigma of dating a younger man has really all but disappeared. When
first spotted out on the town with Ashton Kutcher who is notably
younger, the fabulously older Demi Moore showed no remorse at all.
She's my hero. Women like Demi and Cameron Diaz are now making
it fashionable to be found clutching the arm of a younger man, and
thank God for them!
There used to be a time when society deemed it bad taste or taboo
for women to bridge the age gap by dating a younger man, but May
December romances are inevitably on the rise. Women have taken a
no holds barred approach to dating and refuse to settle just for what
they can get, they're going after what they want--an ageless package
of pure man. This proactive approach to dating of course means, hooking
up regardless of age. Some believe that it's the age gap itself that will
hinder the relationship, but I tend to think that if the couple has enough
in common and possesses more than just a "lust" for each other, any
older woman, younger man relationship really can work and develop into
something mutual and lasting.
In 2000, I met and dated a man nine years my junior. We had a lot in
common, he was a good listener and we found each other irresistible
from the start. I didn't think friends would approve so I didn't tell them,
while he told everybody who would listen. Nevertheless, we're now
approaching our four year wedding anniversary. Yes, we got married
and it's lasting! Although I had heard the warning that to date a younger
man was a no-no, I opted to follow my heart rather than popular dating
guidelines. In my opinion he was a man looking for a beautiful,
independent woman and I was looking for a handsome, ambitious kind
of man. With compatibility being a common factor, I believe that we were
blessed to find each other, and have been growing more and more in love
ever since.
The pros of dating a younger man in their 20's and 30's is that they like
to have fun, they're in their prime and are open-minded when it comes to
career, travel and other major life decisions. As we get older we tend to
become more set in our ways and find change in any of these areas an
excruciating occurrence. So, when you meet a younger man, loosen up
and enjoy yourself. A date is just a date, not every man meets woman
outing ends in holy matrimony, neither should we expect it to. My advice
is, don't make a bigger deal out of it than it is.
The cons of dating a younger man may include the fact that your tastes in
music may clash, which doesn't have to be a major catastrophe, depending
on how attached you are to your CD collection and how many CD's your
changer holds. You prefer the oldies and he's may have an incurable fetish
for rock. I say experiment with each other. You both bring something new
and refreshing to the table. Sample each other's world. Exploration and
experimentation after all, is what life is all about.

When was the last time you discovered over TEN HOURS of non-stop teaching on how to make online dating work for you...all in one place?
Emily has covered every single angle you can think of...and probably have wondered about.
She starts by setting a complete foundation for how to become the kind of woman who MEN ARE LOOKING FOR online.
Then, she spends a lot of time on a concept that I think is absolutely RIGHT ON: How to get THE RIGHT MAN interested in you instead of just ANY MAN.
Lots of women have experienced what it's like to throw a profile up there and have that initial thrill of seeing e-mails and "winks" fill our inbox.
BUT...after sorting through the pile of messages, it can be a real letdown. Where are all the GREAT men? You know...the masculine,
confident ones with ambition and a sense of romance. And you'd think that guys would have figured out how NOT to be creepy in their first e-mails and
profiles...guess not!
Well, Emily has been there herself and shares AMAZING secrets for attracting and (of course) MEETING the very best men online...and there are LOTS of them.
And of course there's a complete section on how to "makeover" your profile, including how to have stunning pictures and a great narrative section.
Emily met the man of her dreams in LESS THAN THIRTY DAYS online. AND...she believes YOU CAN TOO. She's ready to share her 30-DAY PLAN for finding a great man
online with YOU...RIGHT NOW.
Isn't it great when someone can actually back a claim like that with REAL RESULTS? And having heard first hand what her plan is all about, it's PURE GOLD.
She could have stopped there and Click With Him would still have been an absolute MUST for any woman who is
online.
But just for good measure, Emily added in complete sections on how to pick the right dating site, how to make the best use of niche sites and-yes-a full program
on everything you need to know about online dating safety (which is sure to surprise you).
Plus, she has invited some great guests to join her for Click With Him...including Scot, who shares some
shocking insight into what online dating is REALLY like for most guys out there, and how YOU can benefit from that information!
