- We may lampoon the older gay guys who do it, but I think it's much more accepted than in the straight version of an older man, younger girl. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 11:18
- chicken-hawk? -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 11:16
- only one area? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:16 25
  - oh wait, I read that backwards. Well, if older men go after younger women, that appears to be "normal". -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:17 24
    - Let's say "more common". I don't know that anyone thinks of cougars as 'abnormal'. Just less common. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 11:23 2
      - I come from a whole family of cougars! -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:25 1

      - Like that women sexually mature later than men? -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 11:21 5
        
        they hit puberty earlier. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:22 4
        
        He's referencing (incorrectly) the studies that talk about "sexual peaks", I think ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 11:23 3
        
        What's "incorrect" about it? Have the "sexual peaks" been debunked? - con_carne Apr 21, 11:31 2
        
        You called it "sexual maturity", which was slightly incorrect, since that technically happens at puberty. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 11:38 1
        
        I feel like a sicko -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 11:41

        (the correct spelling is, of course, prerogative. Whatever. :)) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 11:22 4
        
        And now I want perogies for lunch. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 11:25 3
        
        hey, what did you have at the Thai place? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:26 1
        
        Spring rolls, roast pork, and iced coffee. - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 11:29
        
        mmm, prerogies -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 11:26

    - that's only if it gets extreme. - Reagen Apr 21, 11:26 7
      - exactly. ten years, no biggie. But if I date a guy just a year or two younger... -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:27 6
        
        no one would bat an eye. two of my friends are married to men 5 years younger than them, no-one even *thinks* about it. - Andie Apr 21, 11:33 5
        
        not true, I always get comments. seriusly. so does my sister (her husband is 6 years younger) -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:35 4
        
        But seriously...who cares? At our age...haven't we grown passed caring what anyone says? - Jim Apr 21, 11:37
        
        then say something like 'i know, aren't i lucky?' -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 11:37 2
        
        oh, I do, but it's interesting that it always comes up. every time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:37 1
        
        petty people are petty. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 11:46
    - You don't see "cougar" as having a negative connotation? - znufrii Apr 21, 11:25 8
      - A real-life cougar can kill anyone on this board and then make that cool ROOWWRR sound. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 11:27
      - [deleted] 5
        
        well I don't know that the reality shows are "celebrating" it as much as they're mocking it, but on the whole you have a point. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 11:28 4
        
        there can't even be a "dirty old man" show because it's so common. no interest. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:28 3
        
        It's called The Girls Next Door -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 11:31 2
        
        which is super extreme, as Reagen pointed out. Imagine the Cougar with an 80 year old woman. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:32 1
        
        or if Hef were in his late 40's -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 11:45
