Shirley Rosemary Flynn, 43, started dating younger men 10 years ago after finding that men her own age were 'boring' and 'didn't want to explore in the bedroom' in the same way she did.
Shirley says women shouldn't be ashamed to try dating someone younger - like Bridget Jones does in the new film - but says they should 'love themselves' first.
She urged women to be confident in themselves when pursuing relationships with younger men since they tend to be on the receiving end of a lot of 'judgement' - as well as embarrassing moments.
While Shirley has dated men as young as 18 in the past, she now draws the line at 20 because teenagers aren't 'mature' enough for 'a powerful woman' like her.
Shirley, who is an influencer and customer sales advisor, started dating younger men a decade ago after she became disillusioned with prospective partners her own age, who couldn't satisfy her sexually.
