Related Article:Frequently, we hear the term "Cougar" and often, it is glorified. In fact, an article in Tango sets out what the "supposed benefits" are to being a Cougar: 1. Younger Guys Know How To Live Well on Less; 2. Inexperience Equals Eagerness; 3. "New Engine, Better Ride"; 4. A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste; 5. It's a Vacation for You, No Traveling Required. Wow, your Examiner could "go to town" on this but some things are better left unsaid. "O) What are the down sides to being a Cougar, however? Judy Seaberry, Author of Men From A to Z and Is Your Family Dysfunctional? provides us an insightful counter argument to the "supposed" benefits of being a Cougar in her usual light hearted, fun-loving style. Judy sheds light on how some women are stigmatized even when they don't want to be: "Cougars, flesh eaters, slender cats found in North and South America stalking and chasing down prey that cannot outrun the predator, or is that a Jacquard? That is what your writer thinks of when she pictures Cougars in her mind. Of course there was the lime green Ford Cougar that your author's girlfriend prowled around in during the 80's. She loved that car and drove it proudly for several years. The happy summers we drove around Detroit with the sun beaming through the sunroof made for high spirits. In frosty winters we were warm beyond content as the heat blasted from the vents that kept us comfortable as we struggled to attend the many events that cold weather creates. It was during the autumn of your writer's life when she struggled to follow doctor's orders and get exercise that she met a handsome man several years her junior. He recreated the fun she knew when the summer of her life was at it's zenith. Though this young man was witty and carefree she hesitated to become involved with him. What would her friends say? Was he going to be an asset or liability? Did he want children? Was he too young to handle a serious relationship? The answers to all these questions and many more remained hidden as he held your writer in his arms and made passionate love to her menopausal body with a vigor that she had almost forgotten. Nevertheless, still being in the throes of his manhood he worked two jobs, had custody of his young daughter on weekends, and generally like many of his generation had a burning passion for anything electronic. Your writer, on the other hand, still struggles to program her VCR. Nonetheless, we began a relationship and this writer struggled to pretend the 14 years that separated us really didn't exist.
