Nice try with playing the "I don't understand" reverse psychology role. Think you're trying to "pwn" me by having me "make a fool of myself" while trying to come off as the Cougar's "white knight?" A normal mature woman doesn't fashion herself a "cougar" but an individual and doesn't have something to "prove" to her ex husband, or the world due to her own fairytale "ideals" she grew up with that exploded in her face.
Again, I think they are fooling themselves. Same thing with older men chasing the fountain of youth. How many of these people have anything remotely in common with someone 15 to twenty or more years younger than them? Sex? That's nice. Try hanging out with someone 15 or so years younger than you. I'm sure you'll find lots of things in common and will feel "kewl" hanging out with their younger friends.
Sure I've had alot of younger women I talked to, thought looked really good and hooked up with alot. But when it comes down to it the mindset's are completely off. Casual sex is just that. Or do you live for it? I've got better things to do then deal with the sillyness.
"Are cougar's turning the tables?" Meaning are more men gravitating towards them and younger women taking notice that more and more guys "seemingly" aren't willing to put up with their nonsense and "date" older women? Could the cougar phenomenon wisen up a few younger women? Just a thought.
