There seems to be a lot of controversy regarding the subject of mature women dating younger men and most of it, in my opinion, seems totally misplaced. After all this is the 21st century and no one bats an eyelid when an older man is dating a younger girl. I have to confess that I am a little uncomfortable with the idea of an older women, or cougar, as she is commonly called, dating a guy who is young enough to be her son, but if the age difference is 10-15 years and both people are happy, then my advice would be "go for it girl!"

Mature women dating know what they are looking for in a guy because they have been there and done it, so to speak. So they are not afraid to ask a younger guy what he is looking for in a potential relationship and if it is something other than what she wants, then she is not afraid to move on.

Women over forty are reaching their sexual peak and can find that an older man cannot match their requirements. In a younger man she normally finds that he is just as keen as she is and, and in return the younger guy finds a partner who is experienced and knows her body well, and can show him a thing or two.

A mature woman also knows that she can call the shots in a relationship with a younger guy. She has her own career and friends, and is not insecure or dependent on him. She isn' t looking for a husband or for a guy that would be a good father to her kids. In short, she is just looking to have some fun and to boost her confidence.

In conclusion, I would say what is the big deal with mature women dating younger guys? As long as both parties know what they are letting themselves in for, whether it is just a quick fling or a long term relationship, if it is making them both happy, then surely that is all that matters.
