Robbing the Dating Cradle

One of the newer words to enter the American English lexicon is "cougar" -- an older woman who dates younger men. Personally, I would rather date a guy who lived through the 60's, not someone born in them, but that's just me. On the plus side, a younger guy has had less time to amass 'issues'. It's not easy having a relationship with a man who carries more baggage than an LAX skycap.

Younger men? Why not! Men have succumbed to the lure of sweet young things for centuries. He's deliriously happy -- or perhaps just delirious. Nothing says 'restored manhood' like a trophy girlfriend.

Now it's our turn to have some fun. But where do you draw the line? How young is too young?

He's too young if:

He thinks Fleetwood Mac is on the menu at McDonald's.

* He takes you dancing -- at his prom

* You wash with Oil of Olay. He uses Clearasil.

* You ask about Woodstock. He tells you how much he loves that little bird.

* He was learning long division while you were getting tear gassed on campus

* He thinks Flower Power is an FTD arrangement.

* He's waaayyyy too young for you if he calls you ma'am.
