Younger Women Looking For Older Men - YoungerWomenLookingForOlderMen.org on 22 Jun 17Entering into a relationship that involves a noticeable age difference will trigger judgements from others that are part and parcel to a host of stereotypes regarding both men and women. This is unfortunate but it is a fact that both parties will need to take into consideration. In an article published by The Guardian, the stereotypes of the "gold-digging" younger woman and the predatory older man still attach themselves to these types of relationships (McKie). People tend to rush to the assumptions that any older man who is romantically involved with a younger woman is motivated primarily out of an ego-driven need to rekindle his own lost youth through a charged "fling" with a young and attractive woman. As younger women enter into these relationships, they are frequently accused of being driven by the desire for potential material gain that they may find in a man who is older and more financially independent.
