See, I always thought MILF was just something teenage boys came up with when faced with a friend's mom who was hot. Sort of a "Stacy's Mom" thing.

Me, too!
(The hilarity when my brother married a woman named Stacy was undercut by his unblinking threats of maiming should anyone play that song at the reception.)
(Nope, nobody -- including me -- was dumb enough to even try to play it. Although Stacy's mom [that is, my brother's MiL] is attractive.)

Coming in late ... but cougar always struck me as moderately favorable - kind of, she's going after younger men and she gets them.
Silver fox is pretty much gender-neutral, but strikes me as mostly favorable - i.e., the hair's white, but they're attractive.
And years ago, chickenhawk was used of men who preyed on underage boys. Usage may have changed.

Me three. In fact, i feel like I started hearing it around the Stacy's mom/American Pie time.

I think it started out that way, but I have heard younger men (the rugby boys, not sure if that's a representative sample), notice an attractive older woman across the bar and say "whoa, check out the MILF."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the Stacy's mom/American Pie time.
ISn't there a big gap between those two? I thought Stacy's Mom was relatively recent.

American Pie the movie (I'm assuming), not the song.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
American Pie came out around 1999, Stacy's Mom around 2003 or 2004.

"Stacy's Mom" always made me double-take, too, because I had a friend named Stacy in PA who was definitely a MILF herself, or would be as soon as her kids' friends were old enough to realize it.

I wouldn't call that a big gap in terms of cultural trends.
