So its a thing now and It has a name. Older women with younger men are cougars. I am a cougar hear me roar! Three questions come to mind. Could I? Would I? Should I? Well the should I is really only there for effect. I should not. I have a guy who for reasons unknown to me likes me just the way I am. Not something you drop at the mere sight of some young six pack abs with bedroom eyes. Hmmmm. Huh? What? Where was I? Well I was right here with you of course telling you about the husband I adore. Yada yada yada. I love him (my husband). You know that. Lets move on.
Part of me is like "You go girl!" Men have been doing the same thing since I've been alive and we all know that it's been a very long time already! For the most part men look pretty stupid dating really young women but hey we fought for the right to be equally stupid! Face it, It looks like fun. I think I have always had a secret desire to be a teacher! There is a part of me that was always willing to try something at least once! It's an ego boost. Young stud wants me an older woman. In this fantasy I have a smaller butt and larger boobs! So I guess given the proper lighting and to answer the first question I guess I could.
Ah yes, but would I? If I was suddenly single would I go for a younger man? I wouldn't go looking for it but I've learned one thing in this long life, never say never. For me the ego boost would give way to my vanity. This may sound odd coming from me, the poster girl for low maintenance. I couldn't handle the inevitable signs of aging that would contrast with his lack of them. I can hear you guys saying "Oh but what if its just for fun? A quick fling maybe?" I love eye candy as much as the next cougar but I have to genuinely like someone I'm going to be with. Since with few exceptions the relationship will eventually end who do you think will be hurt more? The old broad. The young guy gets to just saunter off into the sunset only to find some pretty young thing waiting for him. That and now he has a story to tell.
So here's to you Mrs Robinson for doing what I won't. Sorry Lee Dewyse! I'm such a heartbreaker, if only in my own mind!
I love how you think girl! And as you say, "You go girl!".

Carol, Dawn is a cougar, she is 10 months older than I. I would never trade her in for a newer model, I don't want to go through training and obedience school again! Kidding aside, I adore her and love her more today than the day I married her. If I had to do it all over again, I would want to meet her sooner. Married to a cougar for 23 years and loving it.
ReplyDeleteLoving the blog, keep it going!
