Age is Nothing But A Number

A cougar is a vicious wild cat that preys on helpless animals. A cougar is also an older woman that dates a younger man. Why is this practice given the name of a hungry wild cat? A woman that seeks a relationship with a younger man is not seeking a meal. She is not trying to fatten herself up. What woman is looking to do that. She is just looking to have a good time with a person with more energy, more style, and youthful good looks.

When a man dates a younger woman he is not given a name like hyena or leopard or eagle or any other predator. He is considered "the man". What makes it different when men date younger woman? Why is this considered socially acceptable? One reason is that women mature faster than men so naturally a woman would have to date an older man. Sounds reasonable but this would appear to be a a slap in the face to men, but they put a different spin on it. Men see dating a younger woman as getting a prize. They feel young and viral being with a younger woman eventhough they often look ridiculous.

Age is a number but it also represents where you are in life and what your life expectations are. We are all seeking to stay young, energetic and be happy. Before you seek your energy from others first seek to find it in yourself. I have been biased against men and younger woman in this commentary, but overall I want people to find love where they can; be open to it, but primarily be honest and realistic about it. If you are with someone younger because you feed off of their energy or you like their looks/physique, remember that they will get older too and those things will change. What will you do then? Age is a number so use that number to calculate the relationshi. If one number is greater than the other number, review the other variables of the equations and try to get a solution that is equal on both sides.
