Why Young Women Love Silver Foxes
Disclaimer: Strike Boca supports your older male crush, as long as you are 18 or older.
Women, we all have our favorite silver fox. Even if you do not want to admit it, most young women have a crush on an older male; whether it be their creative writing professor, regular customer at your coffee shop, or even your best friend’s dad. A silver fox can be simply described as an older male who is seen as attractive or how I like to say, has sexy gray flowing hair. The possibilities are endless and I am here to tell you it’s okay to let this part of your identity loose and express your love for older men despite the societal norms. Being into older men is more common than people may think…go ahead and ask your mother.
It is a curious stigma to dive into, since from the beginning of time young women have almost always ended up with older men. Learning this as a child, it made no sense, “Why would a young woman be forced into a relationship with an older man?” Well, it was just the societal norm at the time; being so young, and learning something so complex does not make much sense to you until you hit puberty. I can say when I first did, my male gaze transitioned from the boy in my art class to the quarterback on the highschool team, who was at least twice my age. I never understood the reasoning behind the love I had for my older brother’s friends, I just knew that I resented any male sitting next to me in class.
Research shows that there is a correlation between a father-daughter relationship and young women being “into” older men. Statistics have proven that in the subconscious mind, the majority of women are going to marry a partner that resembles their dad’s physical features. The same applies for parents of older age. This could apply to you or not. Obviously, this is a subconscious act, since women would not usually be attracted to someone like their dad, but think about it…
You spend most of your childhood and adolescence with or without your dad. Regardless of the presence, that is the first grown, male figure in your life.. Your father sets a precedent for your inevitable future male relationships. Positive or negative, your dad leaves the footprint of how a male partner should treat you.
For someone like myself, I can admit my relationship with my dad heavily influenced specific traits I look for in men. He has shown me the maturity and strength of his gender as well as how hard working he is with every task he has done. These are staple qualities of my male attraction. Men my age, or may I say boys, are illiterate, immature, and only want to dive into your panties. Older men carry themselves with confidence, and a suave air. The wrinkles on their face are not signs of aging but imprints of emotions they have felt over several years of living life. A man with wrinkles adds maturity and stability. Knowing they have lived on this earth for over thirty years, and experienced trials and tribulations of emotions, enables a woman to feel comfortable and safe.
A young woman yearns for a male that respects her, will open the door for her, hold her hand walking home from the bar, and even kiss her goodbye. All aspects of romanticity fall between the ages of thirty to fifty, according to my standards.
Ladies, go say yes to the date from the “man” you met out at Park Tavern last night. Please, tell your silver fox crush that you had the hots for him ever since he brought his dog into work. You are graduating, it is okay to ask your professor out for lunch. Let go of the stigmas and follow your heart. I can promise you one thing, older men are worth a shot, I know from experience.
