older woman
Woman of years
An older woman is simply a woman advanced in years, but the phrase often carries connotations beyond its literal meaning.
In dating contexts, it typically describes a woman romantically involved with a younger partner: He's always been attracted to older women.
The phrase can be neutral or suggestive depending on context—sometimes admiring experience and confidence, sometimes reducing women to their age relative to male desire.
