Younger Women Dating Older Men May Not Foresee Consequences

"True love can be ageless," declared actor Doug Hutchison, 51, an actor who starred in the television series "Lost," when he announced his May marriage to Courtney Alexis Stodden, a 16-year-old beauty pageant queen turned aspiring country star.

A few weeks later, The New York Times ' June 16th Vows column featured the wedding of Christopher Cox, 32, the grandson of Richard Nixon and former campaign aid to John McCain, to Andrea Catsimatidis, whom he met when she was a senior at an Upper East Side high school. He was speaking at the school.

From R. Kelly's rumored romance with 15-year-old singer Aaliyah to rocker Ted Nugent falling for 17-year-old Pele Massa in 1978 -- and becoming her legal guardian because she was too young to marry him -- relationships between older men and younger girls never fail to make us squirm.

This squeamishness is understandable: Hutchison is nearly old enough to be Stodden's grandfather. In 12 U. S. states, a person can't legally consent to sex until age 17, and individuals under 18 years old must have a parent's permission to marry in all states except Nebraska, where the legal marriage age is 19.

Of course, men have paired up with younger women -- often much younger women -- for all of human history. That pairing may even make biological sense. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. LouAnn Brizendine, who has written about brain development in males and females, says that girls' brains are as much as two years ahead of boys' during puberty and that boys may not even catch up to girls until late adolescence or their early 20s, so a few year between partners can -- and often does -- make for a compatible match.

Marriage aside, the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, found that a significant number of girls lose their virginity to older partners. Some 16 percent of girls had sex with male partners who were 4-6 years older and 11 percent had partners that were 7 or more years older. According to the NCHS's William Mosher, the average age for first-time sex for women is between 16 and 17.

What's different about the Hutchinson-Stodden marriage and the Cox-Catsimatidis wedding is that the grooms were willing to enter so publicly into relationships with teenagers, with the apparent approval of their brides' parents. Catsimatidis, who is now 21, told The New York Times that her father "wouldn't have given me up to anyone else," while Stodden's mother Krista was quoted as saying. "We are totally supportive of this marriage. Doug is a wonderful man and we love him."

While an age disparity like the 35 years between Hutchison and Stodden is by no means the norm, the recent openness around relationships involving huge age gaps -- especially the Times ' willingness to feature the Cox and Castimatidis nuptials -- suggests that they may be becoming less stigmatized.

But should they? How does entering into a relationship with an older man before turning 18 -- or even 20 -- affect the young woman involved?

"When you start stretching decades and you're talking about young girls, under 19 or so, it's probably problematic," said Dr. Lee Cohen, a child and adolescent psychiatrist who is based in New York. "It's probably not healthy, or not the most 'normal' relationship.

"Based on 29 years of practice," Lee added, "I don't think you could be that mature at 17. You're still a kid."

According to Dr. Mani Pavuluri, director of the Pediatric Brain Research and Intervention Center and professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois Chicago, teenage brains are still in the process of developing until age 19 or 20.

Before that, teens' "ability to consider and use judgment is still maturing," Pavuluri said, adding that peer pressure can further impact the impulsiveness of teenagers' choices. Although adolescents know right from wrong and understand consequences, she explained, "their ability to carefully consider these matters is somewhat limited relative to adults."

Sexual relationships and marriages between adult men and adolescent girls have very been common historically and continue to be in many other cultures. But experts seem to agree that in contemporary American society the potential harm to a young woman depends on both on her age and how big the age gap is with her partner.

While several psychiatrists cautioned against judging relationships like Cox and Catsimatidis' without knowing the specifics and what each partner is bringing to the table psychologically, studies show that there can be long-term emotional repercussions for teen girls who have sex with older men.

Dr. Ann Meier, a professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota, studied data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and found that compared to teen girls with a same-aged partner, girls in 7th through 12th grades who had sex with a partner more than one year older had higher levels of subsequent depression and lower levels of self-esteem.

"If they're with a male who has more power and status," because he is older, "this might make it harder for young women to say, 'No I don’t want to have sex,'" Meier said.

There can be physical consequences for young women in these sexual relationships, too. Child Trends, a non-profit organization in Washington, D. C. has looked at contraceptive use amongst teen girls and found that those dating men who are 3 to 4 years older are at higher risk of STD and pregnancy than those having sex with boys their own age.

"Even if the girl would prefer to be using some type of contraceptive, she's less likely to do so if the guy has more power in the relationship," said Jennifer Manlove, a senior research scientist with the organization. As the age gap increases, Manlove explained, the likelihood of using contraceptives decreases.

Judy Prays, a 24-year-old graduate student living in Atlanta, dated older men from the time she was 16 -- intentionally. To this day, she said, she has no regrets.

"I thought it was so romantic and glamorous and adventurous," she said. "I wasn't interested in having any power. I was interested in the other person being in control of everything, being the smarter one, the stronger one. I was interested in letting them drive."

Prays said she never felt any of the men she dated were manipulating her and added that sex was not the focus. She argued that these relationships are too harshly criticized. For her, they were positive experiences -- she even saw the potential for marriage with some of the men.

For many women, though, these relationships look very different in hindsight. In 1999, Lynn Philips conducted a well-known study for Planned Parenthood in which she interviewed teenage girls mostly between the ages of 14 to 17 who were involved with men ages 21 to 29. Philips, a social and developmental psychologist and professor of Communication at the University of Massachusetts, also interviewed adult women who had engaged in similar relationships when they were teens.

The teenagers didn't believe they were being exploited, and no one reported feeling like a victim. Among the perceived benefits of their relationships were admiration from their peers and their partner's material assets. The girls stressed the emotional pluses even more, saying that their older partners were more considerate of their feelings and made them feel special. They believed their partners would be more faithful than boys their own age because older men were finished "sowing their oats."

"They really give adult men far too much credit," Philips said. "The irony is they find out after the fact that these men were 'sowing their wild oats' with them."

Older women interviewed about the relationships they had as teens felt quite differently.

"They had very little good to say at all when they were older: many were angry, really angry," Philips said. "They were pretty much disgusted."

Philips argued that individual needy girls and exploitative men are not the only factors driving these relationships.

"From music videos, to porn, to Disney, this is all sits within this bigger cultural context of media images and cultural messages that absolutely eroticize and hyper-sexualize teen girls," she said. "As much as we say we're appalled by [these relationships] and concerned by them, there are things out there in the culture that make this happen."

Dating Over 50: Why Older Men Date Younger Women (VIDEO)

As you know either from your personal experience or from chatting with single friends, dating over 50 can be complicated. One possible reason is a smaller dating pool that some feel gets even smaller when older men date younger women .

This was the topic on HuffPost Live recently, as a panel of post 50s talked about dating over 50 with host Nancy Redd. Richard Reiner of Los Angeles, California said he's dated women his age as well as women 20 to 25 years younger and found he just didn't click with women his age.

"The women that I've met closer to my age seem to be less dreamy. more jaded is the word I would use, because they've had so many bad experiences with men," Reiner said. "It's not how I feel. I still have the dream."

Reiner explains why he prefers to date younger women in the video above. What's your preference? Let us know in the poll or the comments section.

Younger men dating older women makes perfect sense

In praise of the the new creature stalking the urban jungle – the cougar. She's a woman in her forties or fifties, on the hunt for younger men.

There's a new creature stalking the urban jungle – the cougar. She's a woman in her forties or fifties, on the hunt for younger men. A spate of American sit coms and movies are about to prowl onto our screens, documenting the mating habits of this predatory species. The tube announcement, "Mind the Gap", is about to take on a whole new meaning.

But before becoming too judgmental, let's look at the biological facts. The male of the species hits his sexual prime in his late teens, a woman in her late forties. You don't have to be Einstein to do the maths. I mean, 19 goes into 50 a hell of a lot more than 50 goes into nineteen. A toy boy's vocabulary may be small, but who cares, when he ends every sentence with a proposition?

I once dated a boy ten years younger than me and only lab rabbits had more sex than us. We had phone sex – but in the booth. We did it while listening to music – but in the back row of the concert stadium. I was an FBI agent's dream – I had fingerprints all over me. And he enjoyed it too. Great sex is about inhibition. And once a woman has endured the indignity of the birthing ward, what could ever embarrass her again?

By contrast, younger women are so insecure. They worry about breast size, body shape, cellulite, weight – they order one crouton for lunch and then share it. (Where do size zero bimbos keep their internal organs? In their handbags?) An older woman, on the other hand, is so much more relaxed in her skin. Once a woman hits fifty, a liberating "now or never" mentality takes over. Forget breast implants and botox and get a dimmer switch – the greatest sex and beauty aid known to womankind.

The statistical evidence of older man running off with younger women has been static for about thirty years. But the statistical evidence of older women running off with younger men is on a sky-rocket trajectory.

Dating Younger Men; 5 Things You Need to Know

Dating Younger Men; 5 Things You Need to Know Susan Winter

If you’re thinking about dating a younger man, congratulations. Far too many centuries have limited women’s choices. With younger men added to the romantic game board, every woman increases her opportunity for love and romance. As a relationship expert in this specific field of research, I’ve witnessed a tremendous shift in societal perception over the last ten years. What was once thought of as unusual, has now become common place.

Our current state of social consciousness has finally allowed all women an expanded freedom of choice. No, you don’t have to be Demi or Madonna. You don’t have to be rich or beautiful. You simply have to be open to the idea, and willing to see younger men as an additional option for partnership.

While the basis of all dating is still the connection between two individuals, this romantic design contains some variations. To enjoy the best results, here are five things you need to know:

1. Be open to the possibility

In order to date a younger man, a woman must first attract a younger man into her life. How does that happen? The answer is simple. Be open to the possibility.

Human beings possess an amazing internal computer system. All of our thoughts eventually become reality. Whatever we allow into our mind, will occur in our life. If you want to date a younger man, first allow the thought to exist. It’s like selecting a radio station. Just as you’d tune the dial for the type of music you like, the radio is automatically set to pick up that station. The same is true in what you attract in the form of men. In order to date a younger man, create the mental frequency for his response.

Now, you carry that vibe. Again, like the radio, it’s something you emit. Once this mental frequency is set, it’s ready to be received by younger guys — when you’re walking your dog, in a grocery store, or out with friends. You don’t have to change how you dress. You don’t have to scout the college bars. Just live your life, and watch what happens. Trust me on this one. I’ve been dating younger men for twenty five years.

2. Expect the unexpected

Younger men come from a different generation. Therefore, they perceive the world differently than their older counterparts. They grew up with working moms. They respect and admire powerful women. Whereas older men have been taught to see women as accessories to their lives, younger guys see women as equals. Since younger men accept female empowerment as the norm, that principle transfers into equal partnership.

Each generation becomes more enlightened and inclusive. Your younger man may surprise you with an unexpected level of self-awareness. He may possess an emotional capacity you didn’t anticipate. Chances are he’ll be more spontaneous and adventurous than you’re used to. He may challenge your ideals. He’s apt to push you to a new understanding of a social situation, or open your thinking to a new perspective. This is rooted in his sense of equality. It’s not borne of a power trip. Younger men are exceedingly comfortable with your power, and don’t need to diminish you, in order to substantiate themselves.

Because a younger man hasn’t had the time to learn the routine of dating, he may throw you off a bit… in a good way. Lacking the additional years of acquired gamesmanship, he’s often more natural and honest in his courtship. It’s refreshing. But it requires an equal dose of honesty from you. What attracts a younger man to an older women, is the lack of games. So, if your default is to pullout the known “this-always-works trick,” forget it. He lacks the polish his older counterparts possess in countering your moves. You’ll be forced to be real. Honesty is the best communication policy here. And, that’s a very good thing.

Don’t equate youth with simplicity. He may have more content than you expect. What you thought would be a casual fling, may turn into the real thing. Less guarded emotionally (and lacking the years of dating and its corresponding disillusionment), a younger man comes with a cleaner slate. It’s a blank canvass upon which the two of you may design the finest romance imaginable.

3. There will be exciting differences

A younger man will force you to grow. He will open the door to a new vision of life. He may not listen to the same type of music, or use the same reference points in conversation that are familiar to you. He may have a completely different world view — one freer and more open. You will be forced to see things differently, and learn new things. That’s good. You’ll be aware of a new world, and see it with new eyes.

There will be enough commonality to connect you, but enough differences to excite you. The connection you share will be one of resonance, not formula. Expansion and excitement are the hallmarks of involvement with a younger man. Be ready to do the “unexpected date,” go to the novel location, and experience the unknown. Be ready to laugh. Be willing to let go of what you know, and enter the new. Your life will be richer for it.

4. You may not be the one in control

The term “Cougar” conjures up images of a stealth hunter on the prowl for her next easy prey. It sounds empowering, and women are loving the comparison. But in reality, media has taunted us with a myth. The only thing a secure established woman controls, is her own life. Not another’s. As an older woman, you’ve had the added years of self-reflection to have learned your truth, and live authentically. You’ve become less reactive (what men call “crazy”), taking on life with a greater perspective while taking yourself less seriously. You’ve won enough battles to know your strengths, and lost enough challenges to know you’ll survive. But don’t assume this younger man is a toy, or easy prey.

Younger men are the product of an evolving world. You may easily discover your younger man is more enlightened than anticipated. He may be able to handle things in the dating/relationship process that you can’t. Let him be himself, and allow yourself to be the woman you’ve always wanted to be. Know what you want. State your truth. Don’t worry. You’re not giving up control. You are, in reality, taking authentic control. You’re entering co-creation.

Younger men view dating in terms of partnership. While former versions of dating assumed male and female roles, today’s younger guys prefer to create original models. Resist the temptation to mold him into the rigid dating versions of the past. Don’t allow the old roles to limit your vision.

By assisting each other and working together, you can create the version of dating/relationship that works best for both of you. Here’s where you get to exercise real control. In evolving partnership models, two people function as one unit, with equal input and joint control. It’s a vast improvement on the old dating design. From my years of research, this type of partnership is where the real magic happens.

5. He’s probably had more sex than you have

While you might think you’re the one with all the experience, here’s where the tables often turn. Just because he’s young, doesn’t mean he’s sexually naive. Age doesn’t equal sexual experience. Younger generations have grown up with a more open attitude toward sexuality. From the statistics I’ve studied, many young men have been active since their early teens. Their entire sexual landscape is uncluttered by the former mores of times past. Sexuality is viewed as a healthy, normal part of human expression. It’s a new terrain, where nothing is taboo and nothing is abnormal between consenting adults. You may just learn a thing or two from him.

We always hear that older men are better in bed. Personally, I can’t comment on this one. I think it’s just a rumor… started by old men. The oldest man I’ve ever dated was still 12 years younger than myself. While older men are said to have mastered the art of pleasing a woman — again, this is anecdotal. I’ve heard far too many complaints to believe it’s factual. Judging from what my girlfriends tell me, it’s definitively dicey. In this arena, older doesn’t always mean better. As for me, I’ll take my chances with younger men. I know what to expect.

In time, perhaps I’ll have the opportunity to experience a man in his 50?s or 60?s. At that point, I will have the answer… are older men better in bed? But at 80, I probably won’t feel like writing about it.
