A relationship coach named Jake Maddock, hailing from Australia, claims to have deciphered the secret to finding and maintaining a perfect relationship. His controversial opinion is that women should always consider dating men who are ten years older than them.
In light of coaching thousands of individuals, the married Jake asserts that relationships where the woman is dating a younger man rarely lead to success.
He further argues that there exist biological factors that favor women dating older men over younger men.
According to Maddock, “Men and women mature emotionally at different times. According to experts, men take about ten years longer to become emotionally mature than for a woman,” as he told FEMAIL.
“An older man is likely to be less commitment phobic and more decisive about where he wants to take the relationship. He will also have a more mature viewpoint when it comes to solving problems and relationship issues.”
Maddock also suggests that dating an older man can help him to display more “masculine energy” and assume a leadership role in the relationship, which in turn, enhances his overall attractiveness.
“He will have made his mistakes and is unlikely to repeat them. He won’t play silly games, he chooses you for better reasons and will appreciate you more,” he added.
Maddock supports his claims by referencing successful Hollywood couples, such as George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Sklar, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas, and Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, who have substantial age gaps yet are still together.
For Maddock, the ability to efficiently navigate a relationship has been the greatest achievement in his life.
His journey involved a decade of hardship due to his lack of understanding of relationships, which ultimately drove him to educate himself and gain expertise. Ultimately, he claims to have achieved a flawless relationship through years of dedicated study, mentorship, and practical application of knowledge.
Maddock attributes men’s struggles in relationships to their difficulty in verbalizing and understanding their wants and needs.
“The greatest mistakes people make are not being intimate enough, not communicating effectively, ignoring masculine and feminine energy, not going on enough dates and disrespecting each other,” he said.
