It's true that many younger men, once puberty has taken control of their lateral thinking, find themselves thinking about older females, often twice their own age and upwards. For example, it's pretty common for a young man, still in school, with testosterone coursing through his veins, to develop feelings for one or more of his female teachers, a neighbor's wife, or even a friend's mother.

Many people agree that a young man's attraction to a more mature woman stems from the fact that she has the experience and a working knowledge of male anatomy and sexual prowess that a younger woman his age does not have.

Although there are exceptions, in most cases, his secret crushes remain just that and go unnoticed by the older female who still thinks of him as a young kid.

However, as the young male matures and gains his level of experience, his desire for the maturer female fades, and by the time he reaches middle age, he will frequently have his head 'turned' by a much younger woman.

This stands in stark contrast to the attraction patterns observed in the life of the species' female. Whereas the young girl will hone her intimacy skills on the younger male when she first becomes sexually aware, she will often become less interested in him as she grows older, shifting her focus to the more mature men who cross her path. But how come this is the case?

While it is often a source of amusement for some, the Sugar Daddy Phenomenon can also develop into a pretty effective relationship, with loyalty, romance, and chivalry being key factors in the union. Many women observe that a male younger than her will not show equal respect or pay attention to details as his older counterpart.

Many women are more mature than men at any age, and it's not surprising that by her mid-twenties and thirties, she already feels more compatible with a male ten or twenty years her senior. It has left the guys her age far behind mentally and emotionally. Her more mature partner can better seduce both her mind and body. He'll be less afraid to show public affection, hold her hand, or open doors for her. He'll be delighted to show the entire world how proud he is to be by her side.

Sexually, while he may not be an athlete between the sheets, he will prioritize ensuring his girl is well-satisfied over pursuing his desires. Her younger lover will undoubtedly give her "the best seventeen seconds she's ever had" before raiding her fridge for a beer. In the case of her older lover, foreplay will start in the restaurant with flirting, laughter, and eye contact. Later on, they will enjoy the afterglow together; the passion may have faded, but the emotion remains strong.

The term "Sugar Daddy" first appeared in the early 1920s and is defined by the dictionary as "a rich older man who offers a young person expensive gifts in exchange for friendship or intimacy." The sugar in this early term referred to the gifts' sweetening role and the 'daddy' to the age difference between the pair. However, there is no mention of love, romance, or even a relationship in the dictionary definition of the term, although women are often attracted, if not turned on, by men of substance or power. So, is it that difficult for a younger woman to find love with a man old enough to be her daddy, who has so much more to offer her than money and gifts?
