Am I the only one who finds "cougar" to be a real turn off as a term?
No. Though I'm resigned to it.
Edit: Its existence, not any application to me. Which there isn't. I can't speak for Jesse.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I thought it referred to the tendency of those women to dress in leopard print.
(Hil, I ancestry.commed him, too. You are not alone.)

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
I got to be in Entertainment Weekly without being a sock and committing pseudicide.
This means I am BETTER THAN YOU, FASTEDDIEGUS.

Woot! Two 22-inch monitors are coming to my desk! More room for movies on Sundays when things are slow!
Oh, and Windows 7, which shouldn't be too bad, but I will miss XP.

Connie, Win 7 is awesome. I think you'll like the switch.

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

Which I read as fasted die Gus.
I think my biggest age gaps have been 12 years, in either direction. I could be a textbook cougar again. I got nothing against it. The word doesn't bother me--I understand that the strict application of the term is supposed to apply to hunters. But I'm more of a gatherer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?
13 years difference, I opine (entirely ex cloaca).

I just tried to explain the whole Gus thing to my DH. It's hard to get all the backstory included in any kind of coherent fashion. At least, I failed at it.
My therapist referred to Older Woman Syndrome during a recent session. My husband is three years younger than me. I like Cougar better than Older Woman Syndrome if there's a choice.
