    I guess I don't understand the draw of dating younger men, at that MUCH younger men. I'm so happy to be 30 an, as far as I see, don't have to date 20 year olds ever again.

    Why oh why would you WANT to?

    Have I been mislead to believe that older men are generally better with the whole sex and even relationship thing?

    Aren't there ENOUGH animals out there to which women are already compared? Bitch, chick, shrew, foxy, catty, cow, queen bee... how many more do we need?


    Also, Officer Nick? Maybe that's his stripper name or something, because what self-respecting police officer goes on a reality show that's not Cops?

    Cougar?! She looks seriously 25. This is the stupidest thing ever. A show centered on an "older woman" and she looks my age? Wow.

    I suppose I could technically be a Cougar, as I'm 43, single, and my boyfriend is 9 years younger than I am. I have dated (slept with) men 21 to my 38, so I guess that qualifies. I guess I never saw a problem with relationships with a large age difference, but I don't know that I could carry on anything long term with someone more than 10 years my junior. Our points of reference are just too different. As it is, I often run into this with the man, anyway.

    How to win my heart:


    1. Fart the Spanish alphabet.

    2. Remove all the dog hair from my house. (NB: This is technically impossible.)

    3. Build a functioning waterslide out of popsicle sticks and trash can liners.

    I also saw one episode of this. There was a birthday challenge, and one of the guys gave her a card in which was written something like "In honor this day I want to give you something my dad used to say to me: 'I'm gonna give you a good licking.'"


    You stay classy, San Diego.

    Yes, these days you are definitely on the cool list if you have a job, especially ones that pay in US currency and provide benefits.

    "....and this'll probably shock you, but my oldest, is older than you...."


    AUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!! It has always creeped me out to no end when someone is dating someone who is younger than one of their old children, whether the person in question is a male or female is irrelevant. It's just the idea of sexualizing someone their child's age....gaaahh!

    @Nun Shall Pass: Why? Children become adults. We were all a child's age once. Obviously, if they're sexuality a 9 year old, something is wrong, but I don't find it disgusting if a 40 year old dates a 20 year old.

    Of course, the age discrepancy thing makes for some interesting family relationships. For instance, I may be the only 29-year-old who is also a great-aunt in the world.
