You understand yourself better
It is largely a trait of young, inexperienced girls to think they can drastically change a man to suit what their taste in men.
As you grow older, you learn that a man will remain a man, and there’s only a limited change you can permanently make in him.
Don’t get it wrong, it is not a bad thing to settle with a guy who is very close to how you want your ideal man to be.
At least, with little work and some tweaking here and there, he could become perfect for you.
On the other hand, taking on a guy who is a radical departure from everything you believe a man should be is something that no longer happens as you grow older.
Personality over looks
This is not to say you will now settle for only ugly looking men with great personalities. No.
What this means is that, your priority will be on the substance of a man, the things he has on the inside, and not just the outward appearance which used to really freak you while you were younger.
As a woman grows older, her priorities naturally start to lean towards things that will matter in the long run – security, faithfulness, care, support, stability, etc.
Of course, you could strike gold by meeting a man who happens to have a great personality alongside his striking good looks.
That’s every girl’s dream!
Expectations rise
As you get older, you want a little bit more drive from your lover than him just strolling through life with a lackadaisical attitude
You want him to have a solid career, and you may even expect that one day he’ll ask you to marry him.
That’s the point, isn’t it?
