Endangering the Cougar--Meeeooow!
Cougars like to prowl the Viagra Triangle on Sunday nights.
It's a fact. Probably because the college-aged girls are all hungover, doing homework and stuck in their VS Pink sweats with America's Next Top Model reruns. The boys, on the other hand, are all lit up and still riding a serious buzz after watching some sports game with their buddies all afternoon. After they mildly sober up, they go out to eat and commiserate about the game and probably the night before with the "non-cougars." They are the perfect prey for these hungry, insatiable predators.
One: of course you know
that by cougars I mean some older women, probably divorced, fit and beautiful with flowing hair, enviably tiny waists and usually a pair of make-you-drop-to-your-knees Louboutin stilettos. You know the type - think Kim Cattrall in Sex in the City.
Two: there's nothing wrong with cougars. In fact, some of my dearest friends are destined for cougardome. I'd be a cougar except I've always had a soft spot for older men--which is sort of jarring given my personality. I am cougar material -- I know what I want, I am career-oriented, driven, opinionated and maybe a little brazen.
But there's something about cougars that irks people. The younger girls don't like the competition, some of the older girls who are married might be a bit jealous, and men, of course, are probably scared or intimidated by them.
Like a train wreck, though, some people just can't stop looking. The show Cougar Town is quite popular. The tabloids are always hounding Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. I guess it's just new and most people don't know how to feel about the trend. Admittedly, it's pushing the boundaries of what's the established norm: the hubby works as the wifey stays home with the 2.1 kids and the 1.5 dog. Oh, and then there's the white picket fence. But being a cougar turns that upside down. A cougar would sit the hubby at home with a baby that she's adopted on her own while she's supporting all three with her high profile job, paying for their swanky condo on the Gold Coast.
But what do you do when you're a cougar and need to find a man? Well, don't look to Google for help. Well, at least don't type in the word "cougar" to find articles on relationships between younger men and older women.
Google has decided that "cougar" dating sites are simply "nonfamily safe" and therefore no ads containing "cougar" will be allowed.
Um, what? What the heck is "nonfamily safe"? You mean something like oh, say myspace, dateamillionaire, sugardaddy? Nope, none of those apparently qualify. What sort of looney tunes does Google have working for it? I acknowledge the company's right to free speech but the justifications for the exclusion are weak at best and not to mention, a double standard. Why is it acceptable for a young girl to look for an older, mature man but not the other way around. Are the Google cubs scared?
Google has been silent as to the double standard. I'd say that it won't be for long. It sure sounds like gender and age discrimination to me....
