The Age Adversity

       Getting older also means getting wiser when it comes to dating. It is true between men and women. In fact, your preferences and taste for opposite sex is different when you were still a teenager. The standards in looking for mates starts to arise as you grow older. Who thought that age is just a number and has no bearing on dating choice? 

     Your preferences might change depending on your stage or situation in life.  People seek different things at different points in life. I was surfing the internet when i came a cross an article called " Does age influence our dating choices?" Melissa D'costa told that there was a study, conducted by a matchmaking website, reveals that as women become more mature, their preferences and taste in men change.  

     Psychiatrist Anjali Chhabria says the findings of the study are true not only for women, but men, too. She says, "What we want from a relationship when we are 16 may depend on peer pressure, hormones, ego-boost, etc. But at 25, relationships may depend more on a person's social and emotional needs. As you grow older, a relationship may depend on how much emotional, mental and financial support it gives you. This change, in my observation, is present regardless of a person's gender."

     Psychologist Mansi Hasan agrees. She says, "At 20, one may want to look cool in front of friends by having a boyfriend who is everybody's blue-eyed boy. But at 30, a woman needs a man who can take care of her and handle the responsibility of a family. At that stage, she seeks stability and security, because she is ready to start a family. Looks may no longer be a priority. In their 40's and 50's, women not only want a husband, but also a friend and companion who fulfils her in more than one way. Even men go through these changes. However, for them, physical attraction is as significant an aspect as emotional compatibility when it comes to long-lasting relationships."

    Your age is really a factor in finding a partner. As time passes by, your preferences changes. But still, there is one requirements that does not change among ages- as most women says " my main requirement is someone that made me feel special." No matter how young or old women are, they still want to be loved in any circumstances.
