Older women are hot. Like a fine wine they’ve matured with age, and often they don’t come with the immature insecurities that plague many of the women you are currently dating. But seducing a lady who might be 10 years older than you can sometimes seem like mission impossible. After all, what could be more intimidating than a woman who is financially stable and knows exactly what she wants?

Modern media portrays older woman, better known as “cougars”, as horny divorced women who like to prowl clubs and bars for young men. Certainly, characters like Stifler’s Mom in the American Pie movie series perpetuate this stereotype, and make it seem like it would be waste of time trying to seduce a cougar. But we’re here to burst that bubble, and offer a few tips on how to charm the mature MILF of your fantasies.

Don’t Show Off

If she’s a good looking older woman, the chances are she’s been playing the dating game for a really long time. She’s heard every pick up line under the sun, and will not be impressed by any meager attempt to capture her attention. If you come across as cocky or egotistical, she will likely think that you are pathetic and immature. You need to be confident enough to be yourself, but also humble enough to acknowledge that her former husband was probably some prominent stockbroker on Wall Street.

Know where you stand

Any fling a man has with a cougar is sure to be a one-night stand, or a couple of hot sex sessions. The chances for a relationship are slim because both of you exist in such separate worlds. Remember this, and acknowledge that if she’s showing interest in your charms, then she’s probably enticed by the fact that you’re young, and you’d be a lot of fun to fuck. Ride this wave. Go with what she wants, but don’t compromise yourself. Never try and act more mature. Be yourself, be funny, be charming and never ever let her know that she’s intimidating you.
