YouTube monologue (March 27, 2025) by Anwar White giving advice on dating younger men — especially aimed at women of color — arguing younger men (about 3–6 years younger) often offer emotional support, reverence, and less traditional/stifling gender-role expectations compared with older men.
Chapters
Okay. Chell said, how do you feel about being 31 and dating a 25 year old? I will tell you that if you are a woman of color, you probably will want to date a man that's younger than you. Most of my clients get with men that are three to six years younger than they are. Don't, don't, don't get fooled and played and thinking like, you gotta find somebody that's older. Most of y' all got your financial lives together anyway. And I think sometimes we think, oh, the older they are, the more stable they are. Girl, the older they are that, that older generation, girl, they are sticks in the mud. They have more traditional.
Ways of thinking when it comes to gender roles and dynamics that can often make you feel stifled. These younger men, number one, they are jackrabbits, if you know what I mean. But also they will revere you and adore you and cherish you. And a lot of us need a bit of cherishing in our lives. We didn't get a lot of that growing up. That's what you need, that's what you want. And these younger guys are going to give it to you more than these old stick in the muds.
