Mature women know the value of a quality relationship. They recognize unnecessary drama from a mile away and want to avoid it at all costs.
They also value honesty. They won’t tolerate a man who tells petty lies or makes empty promises.
She also wants a man who respects her and will treat her like an equal.
Respect
One of the biggest things a mature older woman wants is a partner that she can respect. She may respect him for a philosophy she admires, a quality worth imbibing, his generosity or fun quirks, the way he handles tough conversations, or his commitment to financial security.
She also wants a man who respects her independence, time and space and is able to understand the nuances of enthusiastic consent. She would be extremely upset if she felt her partner did not communicate openly or respectfully.
She would also keep herself miles away from a narcissistic guy who is jealous of her professional or financial success and cannot see how their partnership works in harmony. This lack of self-confidence is toxic to a healthy relationship.
Honesty
Honesty is a major part of any relationship. A mature older woman wants to know that she can trust her partner to be honest with her.
Honesty includes speaking the truth and acting with integrity. For example, if you knock something off a table and it breaks, you should admit to breaking it instead of trying to cover it up. It is also not honest to spread rumors that you think may be false.
Being honest about things can help you avoid the stress and anxiety that comes from lying. It can also prevent you from having to remember your lies and keep them straight, which is difficult and time consuming. There is a neurophysiological difference between telling the truth and deception at the brain activation level, so you will feel better when you tell the truth (Cushman & Whiting, 1972). Honesty helps to create a strong foundation for any relationship.
Dreams
Dreams involving elderly women often symbolize health issues that you thought you had dealt with. For example, seeing old and disabled women in a dream may suggest that some malicious gossip that was previously causing you grief is about to take its toll on your reputation.
Dreaming of an older woman often symbolizes wisdom and guidance from a mentor. This could be someone you trust, such as your teacher, parent or grandparent. Dreaming about an old woman may also be a sign that you are beginning to seek answers from your spirituality. However, deciphering the spiritual meaning of dreams can be a tricky process. It requires careful introspection and emotional honesty. Documenting the details of your dreams as soon as you wake up can help with this process.
A Modern Relationship of Equals
Mature older women look for a partner who will bring something aspirational into their relationship. A philosophy worth imbibing, a quality that deserves emulating or even just a fun quirk – these are things that mature women appreciate in a partner.
She also expects her partner to be loyal to her. Cheating of any kind is unacceptable to her, whether it’s emotional, sexual or financial.
She will keep herself miles away from a man who would be envious of her professional or financial success, as this shows that he is lacking in confidence and possesses a shortsighted view of the future. She will only want a partner who prioritizes the long-term health of their partnership over their individual victories in arguments. Such a partner is more likely to be respectful of enthusiastic consent.
