10 advantages of dating older men

We, girls, might have a problem with getting older because it usually means more wrinkles, less abs, and a bunch of health problems to deal with. Guys, on the other hand, are like good wine that only gets better with age. They finally realize who they are, want they want in life, and what kind of relationship they need. They have seen and tried a lot to not be distracted by each and every gorgeous girl passing by or adventurous job opportunity (unless, of course, that’s their thing). When you date an older guy you can be sure that even if he changes, it won’t be radical and what you see is pretty much what you get. Here are 10 advantages of dating older men.

 
He knows about chivalry

And practices it daily! Courtesy is something not many young guys know about as it is considered old-fashion and, to be fair, in this new age of feminism this may even be frowned upon by women. Yet, this is not an issue for an older guy because he knows how to be a gentleman and practice chivalry without making it look offensive. Besides, if you won’t like it, you can always just say so! There’s nothing better than being sincere about your feelings, no matter who you are dating.


He’s mature

Admit it, dating peers can become troublesome in so many ways when you pretty much know what you want, but they are still struggling to figure things out. And we’re not talking about big questions like ‘Who am I’, but rather smaller things like ‘What kind of job do I want’ or ‘What do I want from relationships.’ Okay, those might not be easier questions, but still older man are usually more self-conscious about their desires and abilities, which makes us, girls, feel more secure, too.


He’s financially secure

He might not be a rich guy, but he definitely knows a lot about money and where to get them if need be. He also knows how to support himself and how to build relationships without making money an issue. Because he’s from an older generation, his first impulse will be to pay for you pretty much everywhere, which is generally a pretty cool and admirable thing to do. But you can always share the bills!

He knows what he’s doing in bed

This doesn’t mean that he knows everything, of course, as each woman’s pleasure is individual, but he definitely knows much more than your peers!


He’s not afraid to meet your parents

He’s not afraid of pretty much anything younger men like to get all nervous about. He’s been around a bunch of parents before and knows how to behave with them. You also won’t scare him with a notion of a family dinner once in a while or some relative’s wedding you need to attend.

He’s experienced

He’s experienced in everything from making a dinner choice to planning a trip together. He may be less adventurous and more grounded, but he’s seen and tried a lot to know exactly what he’s offering you and what to expect. His vast personal experience will allow him to give you a unique advice in whatever problem or issue you’re facing.

He’s intelligent

Intelligence often comes from experience, that’s why if you want to have an intelligent conversation, an older guy is your best bet. An older gentleman is used to reading books because he comes from an age before social media and Google took over the world. That’s why he’s smart and has a vocabulary of an adult man and not a teenage boy. If you like that in a man, then an older guy is a perfect choice for you!

He’s not jealous
Or at least he’s less jealous than most guys you’ve dated before. Jealousy comes from lack of trust and low self-esteem, but an older guy understands why he has chosen you and that relationships are built on trust and respect. He’ll never make a jealous scene and if something bothers him, he’ll just talk about it with you. Like all grown-up men do.

He’s true to himself
An older man has already been through enough ups and downs that helped form his character, that’s why he always stays true to himself. On one hand, it won’t be easy to change his mind concerning certain subjects, but on the other hand, he’s emotionally stable and knows what to expect from himself, especially in a relationship.

He appreciates your personality

Young people may be a bit more focused on appearance, but as we get older we understand that looks are not everything and the inside of the package is what really matters. He will certainly enjoy it if you like to take care of yourself and go to the gym to keep fit, but he will also appreciate your personality in more ways than you could imagine.

Hurricane Florence: Life-threatening storm starts to lash Carolinas

Tens of thousands of homes are without power and sea water is sloshing through coastal streets as Hurricane Florence begins lashing the US East Coast.

The hurricane is moving towards land with maximum sustained wind speeds of 90mph (150 km/h).

It lost power as it approached North and South Carolina, but officials warn it could still kill "a lot of people" with risks of "catastrophic" flooding.

Evacuation orders are in place for more than a million people.

The governor of North Carolina, where Florence is expected to make landfall at noon local time on Friday, said surviving the storm would be a test of "endurance, teamwork, common sense, and patience".

"The first bands of the storm are upon us but we have days more to go," Roy Cooper said.

National Weather Service forecaster Brandon Locklear said North Carolina is likely to see eight months' worth of rain in two to three days.

Conditions deteriorated throughout Thursday. Some areas of North Carolina saw almost a foot of rain just a few hours, and footage showed sea levels begin to surge in land.

At 23:00 local time (03:00 GMT) the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said wind speeds had slightly lowered, making it a category one hurricane.

The NHC says that despite the gradual lowering in wind strength, the storm remains extremely dangerous because of the high volume of rainfall and storm surges predicted.

"Inland flooding kills a lot of people, unfortunately, and that's what we're about to see," said Brock Long, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).

He said that people living near rivers, streams and lowland areas in the region were most at risk.

The latest weather predictions show the storm slowing to a near standstill as it pummels the coast with "copious amounts of rain" from Thursday night to Saturday.

Wind speeds are only expected to weaken on Saturday as the storm moves slowly across land.

Economy On Right Track – BoG

The Bank of Ghana has assured the public the fundamentals of the economy are sound and strong, despite recent depreciation of the Cedi.

Speaking at “The Cedi Forum” to discuss the depreciation of the local currency, the head of Financial Markets and Treasury Dr Stephen Opata pointed out that the Central Bank has firm grips over the issues.

He said the depreciation of the Cedi is temporary, promising that measures such as “adequate reserves” have been put in place to address the shocks. “We’re providing liquidity to the banking systems to meet the shocks,” Opata stated on Thursday, 13 September 2018.

He added: “We’re trying to ensure that there is a lot of liquidity in the banking system. The shocks will come, but the BoG will always be there to manage it. The important thing is to make the economy attractive.”

“According to our analysis this currency is well aligned. We’re not too strong and not too weak. We’ve had a good year and based on the fundamentals, we were expecting to have a better year until recently,” Opata asserted.

Mr. Opata, who is also in charge of Treasury at the Central Bank, observed that “there has been significant turnaround in the fundamentals of the Cedi starting from 2017 to 2018.”

Admitting that “there has been some depreciation” in the last couple of weeks, Mr. Opata argued “it is not the worst we’ve seen.”

“The BoG is trying to live to expectation of Ghanaians in terms of achieving stability. We should not worry. We’re on the right track,” Mr. Opata assured.

No cause for concern over cedi depreciation – IFS Fellow

Daniel Opare

A Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), Dr Said Boakye, has expressed confidence in the managers of the economy, allaying fears the recent depreciation of the local currency will lead to economic meltdown.

The Ghana cedi in recent times has depreciated marginally against major international currencies, especially the US dollar causing fears within the business community.

However, Dr Boakye submitted the shocks are normal, urging the general public to have confidence in the Central Bank to manage the situation in no time.

“There is no cause for alarm,” the IFS fellow assured at a public dialogue on the local currency dubbed: “The Cedi Forum” on Thursday, September 13, 2018.

He added: “We can’t talk about a problem without talking about the integrity of it. From the beginning of the year, the cedi has depreciated by just about 6.5%.” 

In his view, this is far below the average depreciation of the cedi which stands at 11% for the periods spanning 1993 to date.

According to Dr Boakye, the local currency is doing far better than critics of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government are portraying, describing assertions on the depreciation as “noise.”

“The Cedi is not as weak as we think, so I don’t think that all the hullabaloo is necessary. I don’t think all the noise is necessary,” Dr Boakye stressed.

“The current discussion on Cedi depreciation is premature. The Cedi is performing averagely well,” the economist, who has been an ardent critic of the Akufo-Addo government stated.

Dr Boakye was of the view that the Cedi depreciation is deliberate on the part of the Bank of Ghana to fall “in line with the IMF [International Monetary Fund) programme.” This opinion was however challenged by Mr Stephen Opata from the bank of Ghana.

“In the short term, the cedi depreciation is a deliberate policy from the Bank of Ghana… The solution is clear, but it won't be simple,” the IFS Senior Research Fellow emphasised.
