7 Things Mature Women are Sick of Hearing
For some reason there is this idea that when a woman turns a certain age, say over 45, she is no longer useful, sexy, beautiful, or worthy. This is absolute bullshit and nothing more than sexism because the same isn’t being directed at men, and women are getting tired of it. Here’s 7 things to avoid saying to older women, no matter how well intentioned you think it might be.
You’re too old to wear that
Usually aimed at older women wearing tight or revealing clothing, this is a comment that shouldn’t pass your lips ever. To anyone. No matter their age or size. You are not the clothing police. You do not get to decide what people wear. This idea that feeling sexy or wearing clothing that enhances your body is only limited to the young, thin, and beautiful is bullshit. The thing is it’s not about you. Unless you are very specifically asked to comment on someone’s clothing, just don’t do it. A grown woman can wear what she damn well pleases and really doesn’t need your permission.
You should date people your own age
While many women do date within their own age bracket, many do not and really shouldn’t have to. While millions of grey-haired men date college students and interns to the high-fives and respect of their male friends, when a woman decides she would like to take a younger model out for a spin suddenly it’s all “disgusting” and “like fucking your Grandma”. No. It really isn’t. And if that’s how you feel… Here’s a hot tip… Don’t do it yourself! Problem solved.
But you look so good for your age
No. Stop it! This is what is known as a backhanded compliment and, while you may think she’ll swoon all over you for being nice to her, it’s actually not a compliment at all. It is incredibly rude to tell someone that they are okay in your eyes IN SPITE of something about them that they can’t control and that actually has no bearing on their personality, date-ability, worthiness, or anything. (See also: “You’re so pretty for a fat girl” and “I don’t usually like Asian chicks but you’re hot” or numerous other bullshit phrases like this) No. They look good. Period. There is no but.
You must miss the tight, perky body of your youth
Why? I mean yes, the world is obsessed with unrealistic body standards, and it always has been. So these women have already had the experience of a lifetime of body shaming, body guilt, being told they’re too fat, too thin, not tall enough, boobs too small, boobs too big, smile more, eat less, wear this, reveal this, don’t reveal that… You know what… By the time we hit our 40s and 50s we couldn’t give two fucking shits any more. Yes we want to be healthy and happy and feel great… But we’ve learnt that that is far more to do with what is inside than out. And anyway what’s to say we’re NOT still tight and perky under our clothes anyway. Make comments like that, and you’ll never find out.
Older women have lost their sex appeal
Speak for yourself! Just turn on the TV these days and marvel at the amazing strength, beauty, and sexiness of women like Gillian Anderson (50 years old), Salma Hayek (52 years old), Sigourney Weaver (69 years old), Jamie Lee Curtis (60 years old), Jane Fonda (81 years old)…. I could go on and on but I am sure you get the point... These are women who have survived in one of the most age critical industries on the planet and are still kicking arse and taking names, and are the subject of millions and millions of peoples sexual fantasies. Lost sex appeal? No. It’s about knowing exactly where it is and owning it.
I’d be too much man for you to handle (from a younger man)
This is where most women would laugh at you, say “alright, buddy” and move along. Firstly an older woman couldn’t give two shits about your ego. They’ve been there and done that with guys your age when they were that age and they’re not going to take it from you now. Secondly, yeah, okay Chad with the experience of one high school girlfriend and a hidden sock under your pillow, you totes have the upper hand there. Wow. What would this woman with more experience under her belt than years you’ve been alive do without you? The real fact is the opposite. A mature woman who knows herself, her body, her pleasure really doesn’t need your jack-rabbit lessons. While yes, it’s important to be confident in life, arrogance is just gross and no-one has time for that.
Don’t call me an “older women”
Yes, I know that’s ironic but it’s actually super important. Using the phrase “older women” has connotations of fragility and senility and is just not true. If anything women who have lived for over 40 years have an incredibly bright and switched on minds that have spent years and years filtering out the bullshit and forming itself into exactly what it should be. There is nothing fragile about a woman who knows herself.

More than a month agoYou know how to talk it up Eva, and you will enjoy the applauds given to you in the comments, but in the end, your article is lackadaisical. It is full of generalisations that do little to compliment the understandings of any young person wanting to understand the sexuality of a mature aged person, and I think that's a real pity. It reads like you have been personally offended and you seek revenge.

More than a month agoThis article wasn't intended to "understand the sexuality of a mature aged person" it's part of a series on the blog which is a bit tongue in cheek and isn't designed to be a sex education piece.

More than a month agoTo the author, sorry stoped reading at "college students and interns". In Australia we do not normally refer to higher education as college, uni, tafe or of late polytechnic course. As for intern, traineeship.

More than a month agoMate.
No-one fucken says polytechnic any more. It's not 1975.
Also I went to college. In Canberra. That's in Australia you know.
And an internship is actually a bit different to an apprenticeship or traineeship and also (like college girls v uni girls) doesn't have the same connotations that fit within the context of that particular paragraph (Monica Lewinsky anyone).
But hey, it's so awesome you took time out of your day to not read my article and then tell me about how you didn't read it and then accuse me and this site of plagiarism. I'm sure you feel like a super language slueth! Elementary n all that jazz!

More than a month agoIf you're lucky enough to meet a woman confident in her sexuality, don't ever comment about her suitability for your tastes. You are in for a treat the likes of which only the lucky experience, Age? If that is a factor for you, yours or hers, then there's a huge chance you won't suit her tastes and you will have missed out on getting that much closer to sexual heaven.
That said, there are women that through circumstances and/or lack of opportunity, have not learned to let loose. Too many doubts, or lack of confidence.
Take your time, if you're able to wake up that bear... You're in for the ride of your life.
It's not just the sex... The physical part, but it's all about a woman that makes a man feel wanted as a man. And isn't that what we men want. When that comes wrapped in a woman that can bestow pleasure on you like nothing you've ever experienced., it'll be hard to hide the bounce in your step when you next walk in the office. Your air of superiority over mere males fumbling through relationships will be there for all to see...
Good luck when trying to take a dip in that most sublime of talent pools.

More than a month agoSo, so, so true... and taken from a journey of exploration, patience, and the perfection of practice... those who limit their upper age range are to be respected, of course, for their choices but they may just be missing out on an enriching and erotic experience beyond their constructed imagination... but, thankfully, many others include open age adventures in their delightful profiles and the journey continues most pleasurably!

More than a month agoAn interesting article by Eva Sless. I guess it is written from a female perspective as Eva is a woman. I would be interested to find out what one says about mature men. Perhaps we should not distinguish between men and women on this. Then if we are looking at chronological age as a marker what does it tell us about a person’s physical and mental being? Looking at the profiles of many women in their ‘40s, ‘50s & ‘60s they still seem to have an upper age cut-off where they profess no interest in more mature men. Some of them like toy boys – best of luck to them. To each their own. Sometimes one sees a stipulation of some one having a job. I guess that is to weed-out the unemployed. However, there seems to be no thought on retirement. Retirees have more free time. Do not have the stress that a job entails. And most importantly the best sex lives of all. I can attest to that with an 80 year old woman.
AMM.Editor
More than a month agoIt's been suggested that Eva research and write one from a man's perspective and I've added that to our list of future topics.

More than a month agoIn all honesty, and it's a poor generalisation, I know - just like saying "many older woman don't really like sex any more (blame menopause)" - but MANY older men (65 & up, if not younger) have erectile difficulties. Perhaps, instead of limiting age, one should stipulate (as I do) that all equipment should be in good working order! I much prefer penetration to other sorts of sexual satisfaction, so that's important for me...
FungaSafari
More than a month ago"LadyDragon" seems to have the nail on the head – ouch! Focussing on the male dilemma. The one-eyed trouser snake seems to have a mind of its own – rearing its ugly head when not required and lying dormant when action is called for. Seeing that the male member has the attributes of an eye and mind, perhaps the male member is much better attuned to beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

More than a month agoI don't know who that was written for or what age or what gender but come on really? First thing is no mention of Helen Mirren, sexy as hell, hands down winner for older Hottie!! I'm all for empowering women of all ages and I know there are some idiots about but any man would know not to say any of those things to any woman and older woman are sexy and hot, most guys I know have no problem with older women? Where do you do your research it seemed like old news or at least information which I thought would be common sense and plain old manners? Like I said before , even the dumbest of the dumb wouldn't say "you must miss the tight perky body of your youth? I like and agree older women are hot and sexy but who doesn't know that? If there are guys out there who don't now what was in that article, they'd be so stupid they wouldn't be able to even read it? Did I really need to read that? No I don't think so?

More than a month agoWhere do I do my research...
Hmmm... Perhaps being a 40+ year old woman, with quite a large number of friends in the same age and gender bracket could be a clue.
Also the fact I've been writing dating and sex articles for 20 years and have been receiving letters, emails, and comments from people for the same amount of time.
Or it could be this was also a suggested topic by a number of women in that age bracket asking for it...
But who knows, random man on the internet. Who knows....

More than a month agoI'm sorry but any guy who says anything like those to a lady is plain and simply a twit. I find women who are secure in their own skin, don't have anything to prove, with a stable head on their shoulders and no great attitude an immediate turn on. Especially when they have real curves! 80% of the time that equates to a mature lady! Most younger women could learn sooo much from mature women. Most of the truly memorable playmates and lovers I have had from my 20s to now have been middle aged and older women.

Mixing up youth, health and beauty is unhelpful.
You can be young, healthy and ugly, as well as having no personality.
Katherine Hepburn's beauty was always shown in her structure, the way she spoke and moved.
I've seen people looking busted at 29, bad luck and a simple family tree.
Men adore women for being women, women value men. Training men to only go by looks has to be some sort of abuse, i've known models who had the heart of a scorpion, but were treated well purely because they had looks. Also been around beautiful young people who were just annoying, still working out things and learning to be themselves. If life was simple it'd be no fun, right?

Everyone has different needs so it is a continuous learning curve.
Personally speaking....whilst young men 20's to mid 30's are 'hot' I find men 40 + to be sexy...there's a bit difference .
barkly48
More than a month agoI like the way you (Eva) write... and always a good read, and this one is as well, but..... (and I'm not suggesting you are stretching the truth at all, (heaven forbid, we all know where that can lead!!)), are there really guys/blokes who say those sort of things, particularly in the context of a sex/dating site? Really? How on earth would anyone expect to "get lucky" after saying "I'd be too much for you to handle"? And the same with "older women have lost their sex appeal". It's more likely that women would say the first 2,but even so, it's none of anyone's business. Being on the other side of 60, I would love to be dating a 40something, (and getting high fives from my imaginary friends),....!!
However I have been guilty of using the "you are in great shape", but I've never gone on to say "for your age"... I think, (and please correct me), that this is a compliment, and should be accepted as such. That is how I intended it, but I don't get too many thank-yous so maybe it has been taken the wrong way. I might have to curtail my appreciations of the female body, and keep them to myself...!

More than a month agoI'd even go as far as removing the word "mature"........they're simply women. Whilst on the topic of age there definitely is something sexually magical about a woman in her 40s and 50s. I was very young the first time I fucked with a 40+ year old and remember it fondly......in the end I think it was less about her age and more about her attitude. Today these same women, with experience and a great erotic attitude continue to delight me!

More than a month agoI can’t speak for every guy, but it’s difficult to know what to put in a profile. If we do put that line in, we have one group judging us saying that we are misogynist pigs.
If we don’t, we’ll we are just looking for a quick hook up.
It also offends some ladies to even mention that they are middle aged or older/mature.
I genuinely prefer women who are a little further on in life/ have more life experience. But even if you’re in that ladies age range, usually I cop something from the above list, when my intentions are genuine.
Just another negative of this environment.
