The two biggest mistakes many young women make is to be attracted to:
bad boys, which seem “exciting”
much older men, which offer financial stability.
Both of these attractions are a result of exasperation on the part of the girls with how “immature” all the boys their age are.
Girls on average mature faster mentally than boys, and our society amplifies that gap for longer than it would be naturally. It all evens out by 25 or so, but by then many girls will make the mistake of dating one of those two types and get taken advantage of.
How is entering into a stable relationship (preferably: marriage) with an "older gentleman" a mistake?
Provided the young lady still properly "vets" her suitor - for qualities such as "reliability," "dependability," "loyalty," etc. - what has age got to do with it?
Ceteris paribus, being financial more-stable could only be of benefit!
The only "down side" I see is that the husband will then probably die decades before his wife.
Says a guy married to a woman 16 years his junior.
