I am Officially a . . .Cougar?


I have always been open to dating men who are younger than me. When I go out, I usually only meet men who are in their 20's, because they are the ones who are actually out. Most men in their 30's are married with children or would rather sleep with 20-year-old bimbos. I recently began dating a guy who is cute, funny, nice, intelligent, and sweet. . .and, is also ten years younger than me.
The generational difference is rather striking. After all, I am one who prefers to have an actual spoken conversation. He is a big texter/emailer. In fact, I think I have perfected my text-flirting skills. We have had multiple conversations over the texting, and I may need to update my plan a little to accommodate that. Also, he has the capacity to stay awake and alert past midnight. I, on the other hand, require a certain amount of sleep to be functional the following day. However, he is the most attentive, appreciative man I have ever dated. For someone in his mid-20's, he has confidence, character, and a sense of humor beyond his years. So, for all single ladies in their 30's-40's, I highly recommend dating someone who is younger. The ego, insecurity, and lack of personality is absent, and frankly, if men can do it, why can't we?
