I’m a proud cougar at 47 but refuse to date anyone that isn’t half my age – men in their 40s are a total drag
A 47-YEAR-OLD has revealed that she refuses to date anyone that isn’t half her age.
She said that men in their 40s don’t look after themselves properly, and have no sense of humour.
The woman known only as @fashionably.divorced said that she is a proud cougar and does not hide the fact that she has a preference for much younger men.
One of the main reasons for her penchant for toyboys is because she finds them more physically attractive.
Taking to TikTok, the woman, who hails from Maryland, US, said: “Men my age, at least in my area don’t age well and don’t take care of themselves.”
The cougar explained that because she does take care of herself and makes sure to always look her best, she can only find herself being attracted to others that do the same.
Her second reason is that she believes older men to be “battle scarred” and unwilling to take steps to heal from their past relationship trauma.
She added: “They don’t have a sense of humour, they don’t have a zest for life and intellectual curiosity, they’re a drag.”
However, she admitted that if she did want to have a serious relationship with someone, she wouldn’t choose a man more than 10 years younger than her, to prevent an uneven power dynamic.
She explained: “10 years is a window where two people can be on a level playing field because they’ve had similar life experiences.
“Younger than that, it’s possible that they haven’t”.
She added that she loves dating men half her age for a fun time, but wouldn’t stick with then long term.
The video, has likely struck a chord with many people, as it has gone viral, racking up over 84,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, with many sharing details of their own age gap relationships.
One person said: “My partner is 32 and I’m 58.
“We’ve been together for four years”.
