How to Get an Older Guy to Like You

Video Transcript

"Lolita was a movie and a book about a younger girl who was interested in an older guy. How do you get an older guy to like you? Now this is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. I wouldn't recommend the Lolita scenario, because if you want an older guy to like you, you've got to put yourself in the position where he is. And that is, typically, a man who: a) has been divorced, b) is in a pending divorce, or c) has it behind him and is very, very skeptical, maybe cynical and maybe highly selective, and probably has the comfort level that many people don't enjoy, financially. So in order to have an older guy like you, it's a matter of being available for communicating. The first thing that an older man is going to want to know about you is, are you really intelligent in terms of being up to date in communicating, because that's where they're going to be. What do you know? If you're just an airhead or acting like one, it is not going to be effective. If you really want the older guy to be interested in you, you're going to have to have more than just a pretty face and a nice body. Okay? He can get that any place, and believe me, he'll have plenty of opportunities for it. But if you want to be the one, if you want the Donald Trump-type, you're going to look at Donald Trump's girlfriend, his wife later on. That's the type of woman that that older man is going to be with, one that he can take with him anywhere and be proud to introduce him as his girlfriend here, his wife there, his fianc?e, whatever it may be. That's how it works. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
