I've always gotten a really negative vibe from it, though I don't know that I could pinpoint why.
It's not a flattering term.
Well, for right now, we're talking about it outside of the May December meaning, just in the animal sense. Tiger, cougar, cheetah, leopard, lion...they all work for me in a sinuous, seductive, predatory sense. It may be that I'm willing to give credit to the syllables just because the animals are so efficient, though.
I've seen enough women stand up and claim cougar that I wasn't sure it was a negative term. It's not like all cougars have the options of calling themselves MILFs, after all.
I think the idea is, a MILF is always older than the [boy-person] contemplating her. Because, theoretically, there comes a point in a boy-person's life where the person he is F-ing is in fact likely to be an M, or even the M of children he fathered, but when he is looking at his wife, he does not think MILF. Because a woman his own age -- horrors!
This would be why men irritate me so much.
How about liger?
"Liger" strikes me as a metrosexual tiger.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
French Open - I missed this! And
WTF!!! Serena out in the first week? I saw her first round match and she was doing so well!
Disappointing.

I've seen it used in arenas that imply that the mere act of giving birth reduces a woman's attractiveness as much as or more than aging can, so it's no longer about relative age. She's not fresh anymore.
She's not fresh anymore.
Thank you for lowering my opinion of humanity even further.

Yeah, kind of the whole point as far as I can tell is an assumption that "mother" automatically means unsexy, hence the singling out of the MILF as some bizarre exception.
OTOH, silver fox has that same implication I guess, but without the negative vibe (IME) so I'm not sure where the distinction is. Maybe because it's not so gendered. (Or is it? Maybe it's also because we're generally not so hyper-vigilant about rating and ranking men's sexuality.)
