By that formula, when I am 36, patrick and I will be perfect for each other. If I can do math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All I know is that ageofconsent.com was a very useful tool while it was up. Beyond that? Depends on the person. I have not led the sort of life that leaves me with the luxury of saying "Well, he's funny and interesting and sexy and I love his company--but he's too young/old for me."

I don't have the opportunity to start that sentence. I can't imagine finishing it that way.

Because books.

If they have tattoos they're legal. This is a much easier formula to remember.

I try not to think about how old (or, um, not) Brendon Urie is. And I really try not to think about how old I am.

Yes. This.

Leave me alone, Marco Andretti! Can't you see I'm just no good for you?!?!?!

Yeah. Not gonna happen.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Back when I was younger (and thinner), I drew far more attention than I wanted from the twice-my-age-and-lacking-appropriate-boundaries crowd. Who did not take being turned down gracefully. Gaining weight and graying a bit may not do me any favors when I'm the one on the prowl, but it has paid serious dividends in not being perved on.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I personally think you are not a cougar unless you have had a face lift and are wearing a leopard-print camisole to show off your new breasts.

Everybody else who finds younger men attractive is called "able to see."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I concur with Nutty in this matter. Also, a cougar's skin is often tanned to the breaking point.

Because books.

A 23-year-old kid at work told another one of the girls he likes to date cougars. I kind of flinch whenever he talks to me, since he's sort of weird and weirdly flirty.

Cougar = Mrs. Robinson for me.

Finding someone attractive and dating them are two different things.

I'd pretty much date any available person I'm attracted to.
