How to date younger men
Why do younger men love older women – and how can you snare a young buck? Age gap romance is all the rage. Look at Hollywood, where younger men have replaced miniature pooches as the hip accessory
Count 'em: Demi Moore is 16 years older than Ashton Kutcher, Eva Longoria eight years older than Tony Parker and Reese Witherspoon four years older than the delectable Jake Gyllanhaal. Over the hill? Not a bit.
As in celebland, so in real life. In the US, almost one-third of women aged 40-69 are dating men who are 10 or more years their junior.
How are these older women snaring their fit youthful suitors? How do they hang onto them? Read on to find out.

Why younger men dig older women
1. Great sex
The older woman-younger man couple is a sexual match made in heaven.
Men's sex drive is stronger when they're younger, while women's peaks in their 30s and doesn't budge for another 20-odd years.
Fertility (or lack of it) plays a role too. Women don't always want men for their sperm. A woman who has had her family or who is past child-bearing age can have great sex without fear of pregnancy.
What the daters say: 'I love the sexual confidence of older women,' says Chris, 32. 'My last girlfriend was six years older than me, and my current partner is 10 years older. She looks young, so I've got the best of both worlds!
'Older women seem to have fewer hang-ups about their bodies. They know that sex isn't just about lying there looking fit; it's about loving what you're doing. Older women just seem to enjoy it more.'
