Why does a man look for a young girl 20 years younger?
Young ladies have not yet lost faith in sincere and bright love. If calculation is alien to them, in a relationship where the beloved man is 20 years older, they are faithful and devoted. Love here is sacrificial: giving all of yourself, they require practically nothing in exchange.
Men 40 years of age or older, who have been burned more than once during contacts with women, perceive women of their age as narcissistic and selfish. They want to take care, and older ladies, self-sufficient and morally independent, often no longer need this. Then there are young, mostly naive girls who can be pampered and taught about life, which gives the feeling: I am a real man. A young wife can become proud surrounded by her husband.

Couples in which the man is much older than the woman are not surprising to anyone these days. But if a lady is older than her chosen one not by a year, or two, but at least 16 years, then this union immediately causes gossip. Meanwhile, only truly beautiful, strong and extraordinary women are capable of conquering a man much younger than themselves. We remembered just such couples and tried to understand what their secret was.
ALLA PUGACHEVA AND MAXIM GALKIN
Age difference - 27 years
69-year-old Alla Borisovna and 41-year-old Maxim are without a doubt the most famous married couple in Russian show business. When the future parodist was just learning to walk, the fame of the Prima Donna was already thundering throughout the cities and towns.

As Maxim admitted, the affair with Pugacheva came as a complete surprise to him and fell out of the blue. As for that very age difference, Galkin assures that it never mattered to him.
— It didn’t bother me at all. Apparently, I always had broad views on this,” Galkin said in an interview. — I met Alla first because I wanted to meet Pugacheva. Then I recognized Alla, I fell in love with her. Of course, people probably have some other versions. But what do we care about their versions?
Alla and Maxim have been together for 13 years (six of them are legally married). The couple are raising two children together - four-year-old twins Harry and Lisa, whom a surrogate mother gave birth to.
LERA KUDRYAVTSEVA AND IGOR MAKAROV
Age difference - 16 years
It’s already official: 47-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva is expecting a child. The screen star will give birth to her first child to her 30-year-old husband, hockey player Igor Makarov. The couple has always attracted the attention of fans: Kudryavtseva is 16 years older than her husband, but the age difference never bothered the spouses. The TV presenter met the athlete in 2012 in a restaurant. Igor then plucked up courage and was the first to approach Lera. At first, Kudryavtseva did not take their relationship seriously, and did not agree for a long time when Makarov proposed marriage to her. But in the end she still said yes. In June 2013 they got married.

Lera admitted more than once that, despite her husband’s youth, in Igor she found what she had been looking for for so long: reliability and strength.
“You get the feeling of a reliable rear, a strong male shoulder, next to which you can relax,” says the TV presenter. - No show business can be compared with normal female happiness.
NADEZHDA BABKINA AND EVGENIY GOR
Age difference - 30 years
Nadezhda Babkina and Evgeniy Gor have been together for ages - 14 years. Despite their solid marital experience, the couple is in no hurry to formalize the relationship. “What will he change, this stamp in the passport?” — the 68-year-old singer retorts. Her 38-year-old common-law husband seems to absolutely agree with this.

However, one day Babkina still tried to force her lover to go to the registry office. Once at the wedding of friends, the singer caught the bride’s bouquet and decided: this is a sign of fate.
“I came home, Zhenya was sleeping,” said the artist. “I showed him the bouquet and told him that now we are obliged to get married. He answered me: “Nadya, are you crazy?” After that, he took it and fell asleep again. That's how the story ended.
IRINA LOBACHEVA AND IVAN TRETYAKOV
Age difference - 16 years
The 45-year-old athlete legalized her relationship with her 29-year-old lover, figure skater Ivan Tretyakov, in August 2017.
“It was Ivan who insisted that we go to the registry office,” Lobacheva told reporters. “It was a very correct gesture on his part, which I, of course, appreciated. I wanted to show that he is a real man and thus takes responsibility for his woman, that is, for me.

In the past, Irina was haunted by one failure on the personal front after another. The world and European champion, silver medalist of the Salt Lake City Olympics skated together with Ilya Averbukh, whom she married in 1995. And in 2007, when their son Martin was three years old, the couple separated. Then there was a stormy but short affair with actor Dmitry Maryanov.
Lobacheva’s new chosen one is from Kirov; in 2007 he became second in the Russian Cup final. Now Ivan works at Irina Lobacheva’s figure skating school, where he trains young students. So we can say that their romance is a work affair.
EMMANUEL AND BRIGITTE MACRON
Age difference - 25 years
The French President and his wife are one of the most unusual couples in world politics. Of course, there is a whole 25 year difference between the spouses! It was Brigitte’s age (she is 65) that became one of the most discussed topics when the results of the presidential elections were announced in Paris. However, the first lady managed to captivate the audience thanks to her famous French charm and constant elegance: at a meeting with the US President, Madame Macron managed to outshine even former model Melania Trump.

Brigitte, a former literature teacher at the Lyceum, met Emmanuel when he was only 15 years old. Young Macron was a classmate of her daughter Laurent (yes, Brigitte was by that time married to a banker, to whom she gave birth to three children). The parents of the future president of France, fearing a scandal, sent Emmanuel to study in Paris. But their relationship with Brigitte did not stop - they corresponded and met occasionally. In 2006, the woman decided to leave her first husband and married Macron.

— There are times in your life when you need to make a choice. And it was like that for me,” Brigitte said in a candid interview. - So, we have a twenty-year difference, one might say, but this is nothing. Of course, here we are having breakfast: me with my wrinkles, he with his freshness, but that’s normal. If I had not made this choice, I would have missed out on my life. I had a lot of happiness with my own children, and at the same time I felt that there was “that love” somewhere.
HEIDI KLUM AND TOM KAULITTZ
Age difference - 16 years
At 40 years old and after a divorce, life is just beginning, and Heidi Klum is a clear proof of this. Having separated from her husband, singer Seal, with whom she raised four children, the supermodel changes lovers - and all her boyfriends are one younger than the other. The model's last boyfriend is 16 years younger than her. The beautiful German woman is dating her compatriot, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz.

When 44-year-old Heidi was first caught with a 28-year-old guy, many gloated: this is a fleeting relationship and it will not last long. But the further they go, the hotter the couple’s passion becomes. The lovers officially came out together for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival. And unofficially, they kissed like teenagers on a yacht and in every Cannes cafe to the delight of the ubiquitous paparazzi.

After moving from the States, Pamela's life changed dramatically. The actress has turned into an exemplary housewife - she loves to cook and does her own shopping at the local market.
“Adil takes care of me very much,” says Anderson. “We lead a very healthy, truly wonderful life without quarrels or disagreements.” As for my age, a woman can remain sexy at any stage of her life. Adil often says to me jokingly: “You are probably 30 and not 50? Come on, show me your driver's license, because this is completely impossible. There are a lot of younger girls, how do you manage to look like that?”
SHARON STONE AND ANGELO BOFFA
Age difference - 19 years
Only Sharon Stone could celebrate her 60th birthday so spectacularly! Instead of being sad as the years fly by, the Basic Instinct star took herself on a beach vacation with her new boyfriend. The actress began an affair with a hot Italian macho man 19 years younger than her.

The couple spent Valentine's Day in one of the luxury hotels in Paris. Recently, a new ring was noticed on Sharon's ring finger - and everyone immediately started talking about the actress's possible engagement. However, it is unlikely that things have gone that far for the couple - most likely, Sharon is simply enjoying the moment and a new relationship that allows her to feel young and loved.
MADONNA AND KEVIN SAMPAYO
Age difference - 27 years
The singer now lives in Lisbon - the world celebrity moved to the capital of Portugal to be closer to her young lover, Portuguese fashion model Kevin Sampaio. Kevin is 32 years old, and the 27-year age difference with his beloved does not seem to bother him at all.

Madonna brought four black children adopted from Mali to Lisbon - twins Esther and Stella (the girls are 5 years old), 12-year-old son David and 11-year-old daughter Mercy. For her large family, the star bought an old mansion for 6 million euros - it is located not far from the training base of the Benfica junior football team, where Madonna's son plays. As the 59-year-old singer tells reporters, it was her son’s athletic talent that prompted her to move from the USA to Europe. But the tabloids don’t have much faith in the pop diva’s maternal virtues and attribute everything to Madonna’s desire not to let her handsome Kevin go.
The singer met Portuguese Sampaio back in 2015 during the filming of her video Bitch I'm Madonna. But I started dating him in the spring of 2021. Kevin turned out to be a young man, pleasant in all respects, and charmed the queen of show business so much that the lovers moved in and began to live together three months after the start of the romance.
TILDA SWINTON AND SANDRO KOPP
Age difference - 18 years
Hollywood star Tilda Swinton is often called an “alien” for her unusual appearance. Perhaps that is why New Zealand artist Sandro Kopp fell in love with her 13 years ago. Now Tilda is 57, Sandro is 39, and they are still together.

Such a high relationship.
TINA TURNER AND ERWIN BACH

What motivates a girl when she chooses a man 20 years older?
Relationships in couples where the man is 20 years older remain normal as long as he is not yet old, strong and full of desires. Under the curious and perplexed glances of her friends, the girl, holding the hand of her handsome companion, looks in love and happy. But after some time he will be, say, not 45 years old, but 60, and she is only 40. What will happen then? There are hardly any girls who have never thought about this. And yet the relationship begins. Why?
- A sad fact: in general, representatives of the fair sex agree to marry a man much older than themselves, having mercantile considerations. The man has already made a successful career, has become wealthy and respected in society. He has great opportunities, which is what many young ladies pay attention to first of all. A rich “daddy” who solves all the problems arising due to lack of funds is the goal of an active search for hundreds of girls. Such a marriage is often akin to a business contract, where the role of each spouse is defined: he provides her financially, receiving a young female body in return.
- If a girl did not receive enough fatherly love in her time, after becoming a girl, she is drawn to mature men. Every little girl needs a kind, smart, caring, gift-giving dad who can give advice in a difficult life situation. If a girl was deprived of this, then, warming her soul next to a mature partner, she finally receives long-awaited affection, protection and a reliable shoulder. Perhaps over time she will understand that the feelings she experienced were not true love, and now she needs not so much a “father” as just a loving man.
- It is known that girls grow up faster. A pubescent girl does not need peers who are only interested in computer games and cars. She wants to have an adult man nearby who has seen life. He is such an interesting conversationalist and, of course, under the guise of a good girl, he will discern a gentle female soul. In a relationship where the man is 20 years older, a lot is new to her. “How can I tell if he likes me or not?” She doesn’t yet know what to do in such a relationship, and this also arouses interest. A girl who gets carried away, as a rule, quickly cools down, and an older man can soon get rid of a boring relationship with a young lady.
- Among the stronger sex there are those who like to be a mentor, and among women - those who prefer the role of a student. When these people meet each other and decide to get married, it is likely that they will be happy together, even if the man is 20 years or more older than the woman. As a rule, such girls, in principle, are not interested in their peers, since they gravitate toward more mature companions who are wiser with life experience.
- There are cases when two people with a large age difference truly love. They are separated, one might say, by a whole life - but love does not pass. This happens quite rarely, but, as a rule, such marriages are really happy. For example, the union of singer Celine Dion with Rene Angelil, who is 26 years older, arose a quarter of a century ago. After Rene was diagnosed with cancer, Celine stopped performing on stage and took care of her husband until he fully recovered. If there is love and mutual understanding, there will certainly be happiness in marriage between spouses of different ages.

What to expect from a relationship with an older man 2
However, everything has its sides, and a girl who is ready to enter into a relationship with an older man must understand what lies behind it. Generation differences affect all aspects of life and do not guarantee that a couple with such an age difference will find agreement and be able to live together.
It is enough just to remember: for what reasons could a woman quarrel with her parents in childhood and what came out of it? Such situations can be repeated in a relationship between an adult man and a young girl.
- He is an accomplished person
A girl strives to get from a relationship what she wants, be it love or just money, and “educate” her man. A young couple grows together, changes each other and constantly solves some problems or issues in order to eventually build a stable relationship. As a rule, people change a lot when they find a permanent partner.
But a woman who has entered into a relationship with an already mature partner may notice that he cannot be “molded” in any way and already has formed views and a life “policy” that cannot be changed. This may be an unpleasant surprise for her, since such a man is unlikely to give up his habits and radically change his lifestyle. Alas, all that remains is to accept it.
- Secrets and their “skeletons”
He lived in this world longer than his young partner, had more experience with women, life's difficulties, and with them - secrets and mysteries. Each person is a huge book with their own stories and problems, which each partner must be prepared for when entering into a new relationship.
There may be no marriage behind him, even children, some scandalous situations and rumors. It is up to the woman to decide whether she is ready to accept this or whether this state of affairs does not suit her.
- "It used to be better"
It would seem that only grandparents resort to such a clichéd phrase, blaming everything that the world stands on. In fact, sometimes even young people find fault with their brothers and sisters on this basis, which is also true for a middle-aged man.
He clearly saw more than one generation and the views of people around him changed at an enviable speed. He may also have a bad attitude towards what his young partner will be interested in and do, perhaps even condemn and conflict on this basis.
- Differences in sex life
Despite their experience, in adulthood, men’s needs in bed can change radically. On the one hand, they no longer need that brave passion that boils their blood at the beginning of a new romance. On the other hand, having vast experience, he, on the contrary, may demand something more interesting from a partner who is not yet relaxed and not experienced.
At the same time, most often adult men in bed give preference not to strong emotions, but to tenderness and sensuality. Of course, everything is individual, which is why it is recommended to “test the waters” in advance and move in the same direction as your other half.
You shouldn’t expect a relationship with an older man to make all your dreams and desires come true. A woman who has decided to take such a step must be prepared for the fact that she will have to make every effort to establish contact with such a partner and become to his liking.
Message from the Editor
Do you like studying articles about relationships, but rarely find free time for them? We encourage the desire for new discoveries, so we found some more useful facts on this topic. For example, attractive women who are married to not very impressive men are much more likely to have affairs on the side. Moreover, the point is not only in women’s inconstancy, but in the fact that men, seeing a “weak” opponent in front of them, feel superior. Interesting, right? And for dessert, an entertaining, useful fact: men and women at the first meeting do not like it when their partner is late, talks too much about himself and brings up exes.

Pros of dating a man 20 years older
Strength and protection.
Any girl would prefer to have a relationship with a man who will protect her physically and mentally, take on most of the responsibility, and ensure financial well-being. This is why a young lady often likes a man 20 years older.
The priority of an older husband becomes family and the happiness of his other half, because he is no longer as selfish as in his youth. Since ancient times, it has been the custom that a man is the breadwinner, and a woman is the keeper of the hearth. A more mature partner, confident in his abilities, can create a reliable rear for a young companion.
Problem. In a union where the man is 20 years older, there are also pitfalls. You don’t need to think that, being protected and cared for, you can experience complete relaxation. A mature husband needs a calm, measured life, which is what he will demand. That is, cooking, washing and occasional picnics await you.
Indulging in whims.
An older man is a real find for capricious girls. As a rule, he tolerates and forgives his girlfriend’s frivolity and constant change of desires. This is just a dream come true! With the goal of making his companion happy, such a husband will provide any trip and fulfill your every whim.
Problem. The nature of women, especially young ones, is very contradictory. There is no guarantee that a young lady will retain respect for her older husband. Even in the case when a man indulges his soul mate in everything, he must defend his own interests. Only then will he be desirable and attractive. If the husband unquestioningly fulfills desires and constantly pampers, the girl will soon get tired of this, and she will be drawn to where another - young and wayward - is waiting.
Smart conversations.
When a man is 20 years older than a girl, he, having extensive life experience, can carry on a conversation on any topic. Therefore, a mature partner is interesting to his lady. An evening for two is something all couples appreciate.
Problem. In order for not only a woman to be interested in a man 20 years older, she needs to increase her intellectual level. It is no coincidence that there is a statement about the so-called law of communicating vessels: a mature man, communicating with a young girl, becomes younger, and the girl in this situation becomes older.
Social status.
With such a husband, a woman feels like she is behind a stone wall. He is able to help and support, and give his wife’s image greater status. He has a business or a stable career, so there is no need to worry about running out of money.
Problem. If at first a girl expects only material wealth, she will someday want to truly love. Then she will feel unhappy and start cheating.
An excellent family man.
As a rule, if a man is 20 years older, he becomes a very good husband and father. She will keep the home in the same way as any of the women. He is confident in his abilities and can do anything: look after and care for the child, visit the pediatrician, etc.
Problem. Many modern girls are in no hurry to have a child. In this situation, the age difference may just appear: the wife does not want children, since it is too early, and the husband is afraid of being late.
Great sex.
A mature man is an experienced lover who knows how to please a woman. Sex with a man 20 years older is aimed, first of all, at satisfying his partner.
Problem. In couples of unequal age, sexual harmony is short-lived. When a husband is over 60, satisfying a temperamental forty-year-old girlfriend whose sexuality has just blossomed becomes difficult.
What age difference can become critical: 10, 20 and 30 years____10_20_30
The difference of 10 years is already becoming noticeable, but only because such a man can satisfy more of a woman’s needs. Indeed, it has long been known that women develop and mature faster than their male peers.
Consequently, a woman is simply not interested in being with peers, but a man who is 10 years older becomes interesting. Such a man is older not only physically, but also psychologically. He has more life experience and is able to teach his chosen one a lot.
A relationship with a man 10 years older does not surprise anyone, and previously it was generally considered the standard of marriage. This is understandable. Although there is an age difference, it is not huge. Finding common ground and making compromises in this situation is quite easy
When a man is 20 years older, the difference can become very noticeable, and the contradictions that arise in such a union are practically insurmountable. It is indeed very difficult to overcome sexual incompatibility (especially if a man is already under 60 years old, and his chosen one is 40 years old and at the peak of her sexual prime).
When the age difference reaches 20 years, everything becomes much more complicated. Although, it would be because such a man could easily turn out to be the same age as your parents. Do you have many common interests with your parents? In addition, this is usually a person with a lot of life experience, which he will certainly want to share. Just like your beloved mom and dad. But what about - young people need to be taught and educated, experience must be passed on to them.
Such an age difference has other disadvantages. For example, such men often “get” young girls for themselves in order to “raise them to suit themselves,” hoping to train her like a dog in order to make her comfortable and flexible.
A difference of 30 years can turn into a real tragedy, or on the contrary, it can bring a lot of happiness to both partners. What does this or that development of events depend on? Most often from a woman. More precisely, from her understanding that in such a relationship a lot will have to be sacrificed.
First of all, you will have to sacrifice your youth. You know that for women who have been in relationships with much older men for a long time, the “age clock” begins to tick faster? It is a fact. A man next to young women becomes younger, and a young woman next to a man who is much older begins to age faster.
Most often you will have to give up meeting with your friends. Why? If only because for a man who is 30 years older than the entire company, there will simply be nothing to talk about in it. In addition, the older people are, the more categorical they are in their judgments. If a conversation starts on sensitive topics, where your companion ends up in the role of the opposition (and this will happen with a high degree of probability), then a scandal cannot be avoided.
To illustrate how such an outing will look from the outside, you can imagine the following: you come to your friends with an ill-mannered dog (no offense to your chosen one). This dog barks at guests, bares its teeth, tries to bite someone’s leg and craps under the table. Friends, of course, are simply “happy” from such a visit and will invite you to visit more often and ask you to bring your shaggy companion. In short, if you yourself do not stop such joint trips, then you will receive fewer and fewer invitations from friends and acquaintances to parties.
His friends won't be yours either. Well, what can, for example, a 50-year-old woman and a 20-year-old girl have in common? The first has already made a career, most often has adult or at least “grown up” children, stability in family life and is beginning to prepare for the appearance of grandchildren. And a 20-year-old girl is still studying at the institute, she doesn’t even think about children, and we can honestly say about relationships, “everything is complicated.” At best, his friends will perceive you as a young fool who needs to be taught some sense.
Such a man often already has adult children, often the same age as you. Do you expect you to become good friends? Fly further in the clouds with pink unicorns. His children will perceive you as just another daddy's toy - this is at best. At worst, expect revenge for trying to take your mother’s place, even if they have been divorced for a long time.
You will have to forget about enchanting sex with an older man. Yes, he is more experienced and knows exactly how to please a woman. Only the strength is not the same as it was 10 years ago. He will, of course, try to do his best, and sometimes he will even succeed. But you will need a lot of wisdom and tact so as not to become a constant reminder that the role of a hero-lover will soon become inaccessible to him.
How to get married. Why are all my friends married, but I’m not?
It seems to me that a happy marriage, a happy relationship are possible when you are full, when you have something to exchange. But if you are empty, you feel very bad, you suffer and you think that marriage, love, falling in love, relationships, a child is salvation from suffering, then I will say more that, most likely, as statistics show, the child will grow up the same way . He will suffer. Yes, while you are in love, everything will be fine, but what will happen then when the emotions go? And when the love goes away, you will feel the same as you feel now, without this man.
It seems to me that you need to change your environment and communicate with more developed people, with more developed girlfriends, with more developed men. And you will understand that it doesn’t matter whether you have children, whether you have a boyfriend or not. It's your own right. And if you don't have a guy on the horizon, well, it's okay that you're not in a relationship. Is this normal, what's wrong with it?
It feels like you just need a child for show. In my understanding, a child is a continuation of a happy relationship, but when a child is a continuation of an unhappy relationship, and this child is the goal, then I already have questions about this situation.
Start working on yourself, working on yourself. And moreover, I can tell you that if you think like this now at 26 years old, I very much suspect that your childhood was not the sweetest, not the happiest, not the most joyful, to put it mildly. Inside you have a lot of fears, pain and suffering. You will be very lucky if you meet a normal man. Because you don't understand men. If you don't understand yourself, how can you understand men? You will be very lucky if you come across a cool man, around whom you will grow as a person, grow as a woman. But usually in such situations the asshole is involved. And you run a very high risk of attracting an asshole. At first you will be mutually in love and fascinated, but sooner or later it will become clear what he really is like. Usually in such situations, when a woman really wants a relationship, really wants to get married, this story usually ends there.
Once again. The goal is not to blame you. Yes, perhaps somewhere it was offensive, but only so that you could hear. Honey, I'm worried about you. And I don’t see anything wrong with the fact that you are 26 years old and don’t have a relationship or children. So what, what about girlfriends? Everyone has their own life. And I believe that if communication with girlfriends and friends makes you feel guilty and bad, unworthy, it is your friends who provoke you to this, they put pressure on you, they peck you, it seems to me that this is not a very good environment. My opinion.

Cons of dating a man 20 years older
Instructions.
A girl can quickly get tired of being taught life by an experienced husband. She doesn’t like it when her husband, after listening to her fantastic ideas, confidently says that there will be no trace of them left as soon as his wife grows up. It happens that she is annoyed when a man constantly takes care of her and gives advice, for example, on clothing style, homework, choice of music, and more.
What to do? The girl must admit that her husband understands something better and listen to his words. If advice is constantly ignored, a man may withdraw into himself.
The difference is in temperament.
Let’s say a girl is easy-going and quite reckless, which annoys a mature man. She wants to spend the weekend actively, and he wants a relaxing home holiday. Most likely, the girl will not be able to persuade her husband, if he is 20 years older, to go to a noisy party, or her companion will have a dissatisfied face.
What to do? The couple must seek a compromise. Spend this evening at home, tomorrow - in a cafe or company. If everyone’s efforts are aimed at understanding and satisfying the desires of their other half, then the age difference will not be so noticeable.
Chat with friends.
In such a union there may be many common interests, but this does not mean that a mature husband will be comfortable among the friends of his young wife. Her young environment will also feel some discomfort when communicating with a man old enough to be a father. The problem is even how to call him - only by his name or using his patronymic? Sadly, spending time together in companies may gradually cease.
What to do? A girl should not force a much older man to join her circle of friends. Nobody needs discomfort. She needs to understand when, instead of going somewhere with a group, he would prefer to go somewhere else with just the two of them.
Aging.
In a couple of decades, the difference between a mature husband and a younger wife will be much more obvious, which could result in a real crisis. He is still young at heart, but physical ailments are already bothering him. It is possible that a man will constantly talk about his “sores” to his wife.
What to do? A woman should surround her elderly husband with maximum coziness and comfort. There is no need to irritate him with stories about fun times spent in the company of friends. It is advisable to stay nearby longer. If such sacrifices do not frighten you, you can safely create an alliance with a man who is 20 years older.
Gossip.
Gossip will not escape such a couple. It is difficult for others to believe that the girl married for love, and not for mercantile reasons. You need to be prepared for such misunderstanding.
What to do? If an age-unequal marriage is a done deal, the couple should not pay attention to negative assessments. Learn to repel attacks and do not react to them. When a man is 20 years older, the psychology of behavior is too complex, and the spouses may experience a relationship crisis. Will they survive?
A girl who has linked her destiny with a mature man risks much more than in an ordinary marriage. After all, he, for example, may not want more children, or will stop loving, get sick, or even die. And the lady will be left alone, attractive and in the prime of her life. The environment can also get on your nerves.
You should not react to the opinion of society. First you need to decide what the purpose of this union is, to understand all the risks and responsibility for them. It is not always the case that a couple is ready to unite their destinies if the girl is just starting to live, and the man is much older in age.
How to behave with a man 20 years older
So, the man is 20 years older. Is there a future for such relationships? It will happen when the age difference will certainly manifest itself. You will need to show wisdom and give in to each other. Even when you don't want to. Since a woman is more likely to experience dissatisfaction in a relationship, she will also have to be tolerant and restrain whims. And there can be many desires: falling in love, communicating in the company of peers, entertainment. The distance will not go away, and to maintain the union it is important to follow some rules.
- A girl should not try to change a mature man. This is useless and may turn him off.
- You can't make him jealous. Flirting, especially with men of the same age, is excluded.
- A woman should make an effort to befriend her husband's children from a previous marriage and allow her to spend time with them.
- The girl's appearance and behavior must correspond to the man's status. Outfits that emphasize youth and are too revealing are inappropriate.
- A young lady must constantly learn something new and surprise her husband. After all, he is interested not only in external beauty, but also in the inner world of his chosen one.
- It is necessary to listen to his opinion and advice and take them into account. A man appreciates this at any age.
You should take into account the changes that occur with age in a married man 20 years older, and not involve your spouse in dubious extreme sports with a risk to his health.
