What are the benefits of dating an older man?

Cupid’s Advice:

They say age is nothing but a number, but sometimes there are advantages to being with someone older.  Cupid has some ideas on why you should consider dating outside your age bracket:

1. Maturity: With age comes wisdom, and if you’re sick of dating people with the maturity level of a five-year-old, try going out with someone older.

2. Stability: Older people often have a more stable financial situation and are looking to settle down.  If you’re looking for something permanent and secure, having an older partner may be perfect for you.

3. Children: If you have children like Kate Gosselin does and are looking for someone strong and reliable to be in your children’s lives, being with someone older might be a good idea.
