A man who is older than you and pays the bills feels you owe him. He is entrenched in his life and you would have to conform to his way of living. If he’s used to storing milk in an old custard container, eating eba at 5am in the morning, not shaving his kini or sleeping naked, don’t expect him to stop just because you’ve arrived on the scene.

He is not adventurous
He will think you are mad if you tell him to wear the dog or coachfella filter on Snapchat. He thinks you spend too much time with your phone. He cannot spontaneously hop on a plane and travel with you because he has a board meeting in two days.

Sometimes he look really old
Especially when he does something you find really upsetting. You start to wonder if he is going through late life crisis.

Conversations can be difficult
Sometimes you just want to talk about Wizkid tweets and he just wants to talk about the tiny scar on his right arm he sustained during the Nigerian civil war.

Family Tension
It's possible that your family would have difficulty adjusting to and accepting your mate if he's close to your parents in age, or not far from it.

Some things are permanent
He is more likely to have a pot belly and a bit of wrinkle here and there. Also, if he is terrible in bed at his age, he will always be terrible since he refused to learn work when he was young.

He might see you as a maternal figure
During the courtship stage, he might expect you to do perform maternal rules. Certain things like take care of his laundry, cook, house keeping etc

He might not be romantic
His idea of a romantic evening might be taking you to a joint where smoked fish and small stout is sold. He sees little difference between May 27th and February 14th. You cannot buy him chocolates because his doctor warned it would trigger his arthritis.

He is an upcoming ancestor
If he's really old, his years on earth are numbered and this fact would give you sleepless night.

Dealing with Stereotypes
The most well-known negative stereotype associated with significant age differences between young women and older men is the "sugar daddy"
stereotype, which suggests that an older man is financially generous with a younger woman in exchange for her company. Public reception of you
and your older mate may reflect this stereotype, which could generate stares and whispers from passersby.

Senseless post.

Do you women even know what you want?okay list the advantages of dating a younger(mommy's boy)guy?this stereotyping of men should stop.

Lost it when you added Wizkid tweets,how old is this poster?and sometimes he looks really old?Are you serious?why go into the relationship with him before if he is older?

Life is about choices. There are people that prefer dating only older people,and there are those that will only date young people. Both have their reasons why,and no matter what the outside world sees or say,they in the relationship know why they are in it.

Bianca and Ojukwu comes into mind. All relationships have both advantages and disadvantages,even if you date your age mates.

Hunger is really bad

Naijasinglegirl post is just getting drier and drier these days

Those characters you listed are being exhibited by older men. Say sugar daddies

Ordinarily, A lady is supposed to date or marry a man that is older than her, say 5-10 years gap maximum. Anything other than that is something else

I get your point to the op but I disagree with the bolded. She isn't supposed to because there's no law stating that she should.

That won't be necessary

Op, I think everything you said has to do with the older guys you've met. Personally, I prefer older guys (like 6-10 years older than I am) coz most of them are more matured and I think they know how to treat a lady better than these small boys based on their experiences.......not all though

This is so very true and real.
Ok you are point
