DATING YOUNGER MAN

What's Behind the Trend of Women Dating Younger Men

There appears to be a trend of older women dating younger men. Socially, there's a role reversal of sorts going on, women are more powerful now than ever before and may want men who are younger, and perhaps, more flexible; men who can handle it if the woman's career and lifestyle takes priority over their own. Women who have high-powered careers -- or a well-developed self-image -- are exercising more choice.

Women who have been divorced and are established single moms may enjoy having a playmate, someone to have fun with; who doesn't try to control her. Can these older woman/younger man relationships last?
