When I grow up I want to be … A cougar?
After seeing an actual commercial for a date a cougar website I was appalled. At first I thought maybe my television was on some sort of SNL show and it was a spoof commercial similar to the Mom Jeans commercials (I loved those). But no, it was for real.
As if there isn’t enough pressure to be beautiful as a child, a teen and a young adult now we must aspire to be MILFs and Cougars. If this is the focus of our older generation what kind of sick message is this sending to younger generations. I look forward to getting wiser with age, having lots of memories and experiences and mentoring younger generations. Why is it now that there is only pressure to be hot when you’re older?
Its kind of creepy too. I don’t have kids yet but I surely don’t want to be in my 40′s and 50′s and have my kids friends thinking I’m hot. How embarrassing would that be for them? I do hope to be healthy and attractive to my husband but turning heads of young pubescent boys – gross.
At what point do you get to just accept your body as it is and be happy for all the things it has done for you?
