When men arrive at the middle age bracket of life, what they seek in a partner can change. Here are 10 qualities men in their 50s want in a woman.
A Woman Who Is Mature
Men don’t want a woman who is acting like she is 20 years younger than she is. They are looking for a woman who is comfortable about her age and acts maturely. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun together.
One Quora user says this:
“They like to date women who are comfortable in their own skin. Women who realize the way their ex was is not how all men are. Women who know what they want…in and out of bed. Women who look toward the future instead of being dragged down by the past.”
That sums up maturity.
They Want a Female Who Wants to Be Part of Their Life
“I continue to be amazed that I can meet the love of my life at 51. That I can cherish both the life she led before she met me in addition to the life we have now and the promise/hope of the future we have together.”
Any lasting relationship is based on mutual togetherness. A guy in his 50s is looking for someone who genuinely wants to be involved with his life.
Someone Who Is Grounded
A grounded woman is someone who is sure of herself and isn’t scared to stand her ground. She has empathy and understanding but isn’t arrogant.
A Woman Who Can Challenge Them
Men in their 50s want a woman who can stimulate them on an intellectual level. A female that challenges their viewpoints and can hold a meaningful conversation.
Here is what one guy online mentioned about what makes a woman interesting to him:
“I’d like to meet a woman who says to me, ‘I listened to this interesting podcast, Ted Talk, audiobook, about XYZ.’ A woman who can stretch my brain.”
Someone Physically Attractive
The physical attraction still plays an important part for men in their fifties when looking for a partner. They don’t want some arm candy but a woman who knows how to look after her appearance.
A Lady Who Is Confident
Confidence comes up a lot in lists of what people seek in an ideal partner. It’s an attractive trait and indicates that you are comfortable with who you are. Men in their 50s are looking for a woman who is secure within herself and trusts her own abilities.
Common Interests
Imagine a relationship in which both parties can’t stand each other’s hobbies and interests. That can make for a lot of awkward moments. Having shared interests makes for smooth sailing in the relationship. It enhances the bonds between the partners as they get to spend an enjoyable time together.
Honesty (And Open Communication)
Guys who are in the 5th decade of their lives desire a woman who is honest in her communication. They want a female that is open about how she feels and what she thinks.
Be Financially Stable
Men in middle age want a partner who is financially stable. A lady who is willing to contribute money towards the relationship. It’s one sign that you are committed to your man.
You Have Positivity
Being positive is a huge attraction for men. Those who are in their 50s want a woman who has an optimistic outlook and looks at the brighter side of life and people.
To sum up, men in their fifties want a partner who is independent, positive, and willing to take on her fair share of making the relationship work. Of course, men vary in what they are looking for in a woman as well as in a relationship. Don’t think you can place all men in the same mold.
