My number of dating partners is kinda small (go figure), my number of sex partners is still small but a little larger than the dating partners. With that in mind, it's not about economics. At least, for me, it isn't. Until we moved to Florida Ma'am and I did not "intermingle" our financial status. We split the bills evenly and the costs for luxury items we wanted, we paid for on our own. Until I moved to Detroit, I was working a great job, with little free time, but a decent pay check. I paid for my dates. I paid for the drinks at the bar, and once or twice I paid for a hotel room. I am fortunate enough that, in this economic climate, I can still work and go to school and be partnered and in service to a woman who wants me to have the education I'm getting now. But make no mistake about it, for her it's a business decision to make it affordable for me to go to school. "PhD" spells "IRA" for her. This is an understood trade off between the both of us.
For me, it's a matter of sex and conversation. I can't hold a damned conversation with most folks my age. I seriously can't. My pop culture references are stuck in a range from the 60's-the mid 90's. I LIKE to watch the weather channel and the news. I discuss politics in a real world way and like to examine the socio-economic impact political action and changes within subcultures over the last century. And sex with pretty young things is fun for about ten minutes. They're very fun and pretty to look at. But damnit, for the most part, they can't fuck for shit. This is not the case for older women. My sexual escapades, few as they are, with older women compared to younger women is simply, hands down, in favor of the older women.
Shallow as I am, I refused to have to choose between young and pretty and older and smart...I ended up finding the older, pretty, and pretty smart woman that I serve today. I was prepared when the opportunity came and I did everything I possibly could to get her attention. I was not actively seeking but I knew what I wanted and what that looked like when I stumbled across the Want in Detroit.
So, are cougars a "myth"? No. The only fool saying such is the one who's pissed cuz he's missing out on the great opportunities with women his own age because that would mean he has to work at looking good and being fun.
