I don't know if Erinaceous is lurking these days (Hi Erin) or if it's just some kind of coincidence, but this was her Facebook status WOTD:
Dingo: an older gay man who prefers to date younger men. (on the model of "cougar")
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'm so tasty that they'll even nibble on my elbows.
Guys on other side of cubicle are playing the radio. It's tuned to a station playing Evanescence and Sixpence None the Richer.
Bless you, wonderful iPod. I put you on shuffle now.

Because books.
Wow. Cougar isn't an especially attractive term, but dingo? Not so sexy.

Maybe a dingo blew your baby?

I'm trying to figure out if that's more or less unflattering than "chickenhawk", what with the whole "dingoes ate my baby" thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
SHRIFT! TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING!
I just choked on precious precious coffee.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
THAT'S what chickenhawk means!
Also, the dingo thing made me snort my coffee.
Also, too, I really don't want to work. But I need to buckle down, because I have no boss....

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think of "chickenhawk" as kind of sleazy older man interested in fellows that are slightly too young. A "daddy" is an attractive older man who may or may not be interested in younger men. Younger men would more likely be physically attracted to a daddy than to a chickenhawk.
I hadn't heard "dingo" in that context before. I'll only note that there's a big difference between a good-looking 40-year-old and a 40-year-old who tries (and fails miserably) to look and act like he's 20. As well as a 40-year-old whose a 20-year-old boyfriend thinks he has the sexiest eyes and one whose 20-year-old boyfriend likes receiving presents from him.

So what's a "silver fox"?
I'm actually kind of afraid of what shrift might answer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cougar isn't an especially attractive term
Really? I think most of the big cats are attractive, what with the whole ultimate land predator thing they're working.
