Many young women have not yet found their own unique individuality and may relay heavily on their partner for support. They tend to be very sensitive and the thought of falling in love and the excitement of romance places them in a state of a fantasy world.

The older women have usually been through a few experiences in her life and are probably more in balanced with in herself and have developed her own unique individuality. She is probably able to provide and look after herself and may not make so much demand on her partner other than for the love and companionship.
