Clooney effect: Maturity is irresistible!

Even singer Connie Francis knew that love is a strange game. She finds us when we least hope, and hides when we want her most. Love can hurt when it is strongest, and be good when we are weakest. Sometimes love brings together two people who seem incompatible, and separates people who seem to be made for each other.

Love always begins with falling in love. We simply can't find people with whom we would like it to sparkle, and we are burning for people that don't notice us. We allow ourselves to be influenced by a pattern of predators and we see the happiness when someone reminds us of our father and everuthing is black when we just can’t smell someone for any reason. And one variable, which does not necessarily facilitate the equation of love, is called the 'Clooney effect'. When we better think who wouldn't want him for a husband?

Maturity is irresistible

The Clooney effect is named after actor George Clooney, who seems to be blooming in the eyes of the public as he gets older and his hair becomes grayer. He seems to be sexier every year.  Although he was an attractive person in his thirties, when he stood out in his medical uniform in the role of Doug Ross in "Ambulance", he really developed into a sex symbol only when he approached the age of 50. His wonderful wife Amal who is 16 years younger than him saw that. Namely, mature men are particularly attractive to some younger people. But why is that so?

1. Self-confidence

Mature people usually have more self-confidence than younger people. They don’t need any games and they know who they are.

2. Sovereignty

With experience, people usually become more confident in their reactions and manners. And to have a sovereign person for a partner, a person who does not lose his composure in every crisis is very valuable.

3. Calmness and stability

While most people want to try many things in their younger years, after them they have to find their way in life. People in the more advanced stages of life are often calmer. Therefore in a relationship, they offer peace, stability, and a sense of home.

4. Sexual experience

Of course, this is very individual and depends on lifestyle, but we can assume that older people have more sexual experience than younger people. And the more experience, the better the performance, which is an intuitive assumption.

5. Success

Because younger people often had even fewer opportunities to prove themselves, they are often less successful than older people. Success is known to make you a sexy person, competence fosters trust, and, under certain circumstances, successful people also seem more appropriate to start a family with.
