Dateing younger men how good is that for older women

The good
Dating someone younger keeps you young, says Jane Ganahl, former singles columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle who’s currently working on an anthology about older women and younger men. Plus, there’s that whole sexual-compatibility thing. “If we can believe that nugget that women and men hit their sexual primes at different times, then a 25-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman is the best of all possible worlds,” she says. “We’re talking enormous amounts of sexual energy.”

Roberta, an over-50 marketing director from Long Island, says she experienced that energy when she became involved with a 27-year-old she met at a karaoke bar (she was 44 at the time). “He had a body like the guy from that Diet Coke commercial,” she says. “The one who takes his shirt off and all the ladies gather to watch from their office window. At first, it was all love, romance and passion.”
