Do You Date Younger Men?
user
Author Candace Bushnell
might be married to a man 10 years her junior, but don't call
her a cougar. In
an op-ed out tomorrow in More Magazine, the
Sex and
the City writer laments the fact that women who break out of
traditional roles are then labeled with a derogatory term. We have
"ballbuster" female CEOs, "bitchy" politicians,
and alas, "cougars." Candace believes that people who use
the term cougar are simply ignorant of the real appeal of dating
younger men. Or maybe they're just jealous. Candace writes:
What I have yet to see is a real woman choose a younger
man because he spent six hours a day at the gym trying to sculpt
his abs. The fact that a man is open to being with an older woman
suggests that he doesn't give a hang what other people think of
him. More likely, he's confident, open-minded and willing to
make his own rules. All of which just happen to be qualities that,
much more than a great six-pack, make for a great
relationship.
Do you agree that dating younger makes for a good relationship?
