What Do You Call A Guy Cougar?

This article is just downright cute…. that is if you choose to not take  yourself too seriously and just enjoy the irony of life.  Now that the moniker “cougar” has become a part of pop culture it seems we’re desperate to give older men a name too. I chuckle about all of this, but truly I wonder why we just can’t call him “him” and call her “her”.  In a day and age where we are so worried about political correctness how is it okay for us to hang labels on people based on the age of their partner?  I’m really not trying to get radical here.  I just find it damned ironic.   The good no, great news is that articles about May-December (uh oh, I’m guilty of it too aren’t I?!) relationships are popping up on the internet faster than I can post them.

So please read the article below with a light heart and let it give you a giggle.  You’ll also note that the piece links you to many other May-December tidbits.

May December News: One woman’s story from Essence.com

She says:  ”you don’t choose who you love.”

Posted by Gayle

Here’s one woman’s take on falling in love with a man 11 years her senior.  Has anyone else noticed?  We May-December folks are turning up in the news more and more. Finally it’s not just celebrities!

I contend there has been a demand for this information all along.  We were hungry but no one was feeding us.  The more we read about our unique love affairs, the more we want to read about them.

I think you’ll enjoy this woman’s story.

Are we May-Decemberers really a snowballing trend?  We’d love to find some real statistics.  If you happen to have any lying around, please send us a message.  Intelligent articles on this top keep popping up.  Enjoy….

Debunking the “Half-your-age-plus-seven” Rule of Thumb

If you’re one of those people who stares scornfully from your park bench at that 21-year-old girl walking romantically with the 55-year-old man in the park (or maybe it’s the 55-year-old woman walking hand-in-hand with the 21-year-old college-age guy)–it’s probably a good idea not to show too much open disgust. It’s likely other people around you will give you a look of disgust in return for thinking there’s something wrong with it–on par with those who still have outdated racial or other biased issues with people. Maybe it’s Hollywood setting trends once again (however arguable how influential they really are in today’s times)–but those people who sacrificed scorn with getting into a relationship with someone much younger or older than they are likely helped other people who’ve perhaps thought about it but avoided the situation for their own good.

Nine years on and Barbara Windsor and her toyboy husband Scott are happier than ever | Mail Online

For all of you women who are dating younger men, I think you’ll find this of interest.  You may not just be “cougars” anymore, perhaps you are bright, intelligent, vital women who marry the man you love regardless of what society might say!   And do we really have to call him a “toyboy” or “boy toy?”  Yikes!

Age gap – smage gap!  I mean…. I’m just saying….

Cheers,
Gayle
