- Younger menIn your twenties, thirties or forties and drawn to women well past fifty.
- Men her own ageSixty-somethings after a partner with a full life and a quick wit.

- Women who admire womenThe advice on manners, messages and safety travels well.
Is dating an older woman really any different?
Less than people expect. The basics never change: be honest about what you want, write properly, turn up on time. What shifts is the context. A woman in her fifties or sixties usually has a settled life — work or retirement, friends, perhaps grandchildren — and you are joining it rather than starting one from scratch. That is why the best dating older women tips are about respect and clarity, not tricks.
Respect and clarity beat any chat-up line ever written.
