Law of the Jungle
This is a rose-coloured view, Amanda. The figures show there is a mismatch already between men and women of the same generation.
Women of 40-something may well be sexually experienced and financially secure, established in their own careers, but to contemplate much younger men, they are also likely to be needy emotionally. Loneliness is often the driver for Boomer women to look backwards to Gen-X and Gen-Y men. And many women will be desperate. They are hardly likely to let their fish off the hook any time soon for a younger, fertile woman when their own sexual needs are being so satisfied.
This scenario leaves numbers of 30-something women desperately seeking husbands – single men already hooked on another line by women whose fertility years are over.
The issue here is that cougars keep young, virile bachelors emotionally tied, while the fertility years of the girls of their own generation slip away.
Cougars represent a huge mismatch: a serious societal glitch in the natural order of things. Dating is the popular, correct way for young men and women of similar age and generation to suss each other out for suitable partnerships, before mating for life.
A purist would say part of the sexual joy of intimacy is young people learning about their bodies together on the pathway to commitment and family. This orderliness, the correct protocol for women to date men of their own age, or preferably a few years older is being short-circuited.
Many cougars have adult children and some are still married, looking for spice. Their younger sisters want the whole meal, to be married and raise a family, the basis of society. We don’t turn a hair when young women seek out older men because older men can still make babies, but older women cannot procreate with young men. Not only are cougars on the prowl they are poachers.

Well, you know we disagree on this subject and I think you are being very judgemental about women in their forties. Bettina Arndt was on Radio National this morning and she sees the issue differently – there are many more women than men looking for partners at the present time than there are men available. Any man in his forties and fifties who has come through a divorce and is looking to re-partner is swamped with responses from women and has endless choice. One man received 18 responses within an hour after posting his profile on RSVP. Bettina says many of these men are choosing younger women because men are visually oriented, they prefer to date younger, more attractive women and given that they have such an extensive choice many of them choose to do so. Which leaves a lot of women left over with no partners -to judge them for choosing some intimacy with younger men is simply punishing women for taking control of their desires. You should also be judging older men in the same way.

Great article – you do have some good points although, I don’t agree with you either on this one,lol. I for one celebrate that it is no longer taboo for an older woman to have a relationship with a younger man. I have always believed that whatever is good for the goose is good for the gander and even did a painting on that theme. Unfortunately I am unable to partake in this new smorgasbord (although I should rephrase that to Fortunately) as I am very happily married, however just because I am on a diet does not mean I cannot read the menu, right? Keep up the great work girlfriend. Love Marie

When I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and from now
on every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.
There has to be an easy method you can remove me from that service?
Many thanks!

Hi there Kaitlyn, I would like to suggest that you contact a Dr P>C> for your end as you are the only one to tell me of this problem. Believe it or not, I am not a good web administrator as my late husband set up the website and I have only just had dealings with the server, which was quite a strain. I have no idea why this happens and if you find out that it is a server problem, then let me know and I can contact them again to rectify the matter. Nadine
