From politics to the boardroom— best-selling author Jane Porter says women are held to a double-standard. Even when it comes to dating, an older man with a younger woman is seen as a status symbol yet an older woman with a younger man is seen as robbing the cradle.

Always vocal on women’s issues, Porter responds, “Women have to stop being perfect in the eyes of society and release their inner bad girl every once in a while. Why are
women judged so critically?”

According to recent polls, almost one-third of women aged 40 to 69 are dating younger men. Porter explains why aging beauties and single moms should go for the gusto of a May-December relationship.

She’ll reveal why:

• Women today are looking more for emotional security than financial security.

• Women are aging more gracefully — because of diet, exercise and medical advances.

• Two-thirds of divorces after age 40 are initiated by women.

• Younger men find the experience of older women appealing.

• Many women in their 40s and 50s prefer men in their 40s and 30s.
