Society falsely stereotypes cougars

At a posh restaurant in Scottsdale sits a handsome young buck with his attractive mother.
The pair appear to be quite happy, discussing their week over a nice  meal and a few beverages. The young man apparently tells a joke and the woman bursts into laughter, drawing the attention of the restaurants’ patrons. The woman then leans in toward him as if to wipe some crumbs off his cheek and boom, they kiss. That’s not his mother?

For a moment, folks look utterly confused and then some are disgusted.

There must be some satisfaction in knowing that you have so much power, upsetting an entire restaurant with a simple kiss.

However in that instant the woman went from beautiful, to a lonely, washed-up hottie who is bored with her life in the eyes of some beholders.

As I watch the scene, I smile. Good for her. I cannot find a way to blame this woman, or any other for going on the prowl for a man who doesn’t rely on popping Viagra like candy to keep his woman satisfied.

If the situation were reversed, an older man with a young woman, people would be less shocked. In fact, the overall majority rule on the matter would be that he’s one lucky  (probably rich) guy and the young girl is looking for a way to pay off her credit card debt.
Why is this? Is it that older women remind us of our nurturing mothers who in our minds have no sexual needs or desires, while all men are thought of as horn-dogs? Woof.

There seems to be a rule outlining which gender is allowed to date a younger person and the appropriate dating age gap.

Why are relationships and love anyone’s business but the people involved?

I couldn’t care less about the dating age gap. I have an open mind and understand that someone else’s business is no concern of mine.

I would not care to date a man who was 40 when I was starting college. If that man was Richard Gere, I may change my mind.

And boys, you may not consider dating your mom’s best friend a fantasy, unless that friend happened to be the gorgeous Angelia Jolie.

I say, as long as the two are consenting adults,, then grab a hold of grandpa or grandma’s age spotted hand and hit the town. Let the world stare and make judgments.
The important thing is happiness and if saggy does it for you, great.
