Looking back in history, it seems that tradition has dictated that it is normal for men to date younger women. With this in mind, society has come to accept that particular relationship dynamic, but what about women dating younger men?
It’s hard not to have noticed that this has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it’s not just the relationships of celebrities like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher (who tend to be cited as the original ‘toyboy poster couple’) who are getting involved. In normal dating circles, there seems to be an increasingly popular shift towards women who are attracted to men 5 or more years younger than themselves.
So what’s in it for women? Well, one of the biggest factors is that younger guys are more likely to see them as their equals, which means they won’t be pressured into taking on the role of scruffy housewife / housewife. Women can expect their toyboy to be open-minded and prefer a more modern, laid-back attitude towards roles in a relationship. They are often happy that their partner is self-sufficient and will be more than happy to share household responsibilities like cooking and cleaning.
Young guys appreciate the charm and confidence that an older woman possesses. Girls in their 20s are just getting started in life and can sometimes be a little unsure of where they are going. The opportunity to experience a relationship with an older woman who knows what she wants and how to get it can be very liberating and exciting.
On the other hand, younger men have a zest for life that offers the kind of passion and excitement that women rarely find with men of the same age, who are often more interested in the lifestyle called ‘ pipe and slippers’ than in living life to the fullest. .
So with these factors in mind, it’s not hard to see why the so-called ‘toyboy dating trend’ is fast becoming one of the biggest buzzwords on the solo scene right now.
