THE BASICS. The Science of Mating Take our Romantic Personality Test Find a therapist near me. Key points. A man increases his chances of sexual compatibility by marrying an older woman since her sexual hormones peak later. Having lived longer, an older woman is more likely to have maturity that comes with age. On average, a man choosing a woman five years older is marrying his physiological equal, making it more likely they will age together. Note: For those who might wonder why this post focuses only on heterosexual men and women, it is because many of the issues in marrying an older person relate to pregnancy or health and there are significant gender differences in age-related health and sexuality. Many men are attracted to younger women. Mainly it's a visceral, physical thing, although some men may value a younger woman because she is more likely to look up to him, if only because he may have advanced more in his career. But there are reasons why men should consider older women as potential marriage partners. I will admit I'm biased: My wife is five years older than I am and we've been contentedly together for 46 years now. Sexual compatibility. Alfred Kinsey's classic work on sexuality concluded that men's sexual hormones peak at 18, and women's in their early 30s. Of course, factors other than hormones affect sexuality—for example, being experienced at sex—but a man increases his chances of sexual compatibility by marrying an older woman. Maturity in the relationship. Having lived longer, a person is more likely to have maturity that comes with age: not to fight so much about trivia, not as likely to have an affair, having gotten that out of her system. Marrying an older woman, on average, means marrying a more mature person. Maturity in parenting. Parenting is far more difficult and stressful than many people realize. It requires maturity and equanimity to consistently set limits but not excessive ones, remain calm, and collaboratively solve problems with your child. An older person is more likely to have that maturity than a 20-something. Likely to be further in her career. As mentioned, older people have had more time to advance in their careers. So marrying an older woman, on average, not only increases the chances she'll contribute more money to the family income, she'll be in a better position to offer career advice and maybe even help her husband land a better job. Plus, having an experienced career woman as a mate allows confidential career advice that's less likely to come from peers. Health compatibility. Women live five years longer than men, and men die earlier of nine of the top ten leading causes of death. The research suggests this is caused by biology, not lifestyle. So, on average, a man choosing a woman five years older is marrying his physiological equal. Why might that matter? At age 80, the average man is moribund or dead. There now are more than four widows for every widower. If an 80-year-old man is married to a 75-year-old, physiologically 70, even if she still loves him, she may feel he's an albatross and he may feel he's a burden. In contrast, if he had married someone five years older than him, they're more likely to be health peers and to fade away together. Earlier on life's conveyor belt, the typical 65-year-old man has at least one significant health issue. If he's married to a 60-year-old woman, he's married to someone who, on average, is physiologically 10 years younger and thus likely healthier and more vigorous, physically and mentally. If you'd feel more comfortable growing old with someone in similar shape to you, consider an older woman. Marrying an older woman may even yield health benefits fairly early in a marriage.
