On Cougars

Lots of buzz and articles on the blogosphere about cougar-dom and all these middle aged woman acting like college girls, ditching their yuppie lives and looking for romance, etc, etc.

My take on all of this: whatever. Everyone wants romance and crazy hook ups and all that stuff. Guys, girls, whoever. Smarter people realize the downside of the lifestyle - no rides to the airport, eating alone a lot, no one to watch Seinfeld re-runs with. I'm no marriage expert, but it strikes me if you make the right choice in who to marry and just stick to the vows that there will come a moment when you're both old and gray and the kids are all grown up and the world has changed from the way you remember it...that the both of you will look back and be and proud of what you built together. Proud that you made it through the suck and didn't succumb to all the nonsense of the weaker and more fickle of your peers. People who are lucky enough to find this, I imagine, die in peace without much regret.

But what the fuck do I know.
