Cougars, MILFS, & the Half Plus Seven Rule

I’ve been sitting here staring at my laptop, getting a nice screentan glow, wondering what to write about. Well, f*ck it. I’ve had a long weekend and my slinky’s kinked. So I’m just going to babble on about nothing in particular until I hit upon a topic that grabs my ass in a good way….                 

 Okay, speaking of ass grabbing – has anyone ever heard of the “Half-Your-Age-Plus-Seven” rule? It’s the rule that defines how young a romantic interest should be before the relationship is considered indecent. (example- 40-year old Lori waited patiently until Steven turned 27, fullfilling the half-your-age-plus-seven rule, before she pursued him romantically.)

 

Well, personally, I think that rule makes about as much sense as cloning cockroaches.

 

Men have been dating and marrying women a ‘fraction-of their-age-plus-zero‘ since the beginning of time. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, 25 years age difference. Anna Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall, 63 years difference! Therefore, I’m going to assume that this rule was invented by some jealous weasel-licker when the Demi’s, Cameron’s, Halle’s and other Hollywood cougars landed their prey.So where should one draw the line on age difference? I say if a man/boy is old enough to go to war and vote, he oughtta be able to have a menage’ trois with his grandma’s bridge partners, if he so chooses.

As long as the two individuals involved are both consenting adults (though being at least drinking age is a plus, seeing as alcohol is usually involved), and they enjoy each other’s company, then where is the issue? The level of emotional maturity perhaps? One of the hottest m.i.l.f. bitches I know, just celebrated her 44th birthday with her 28 year-old husband and their one-year old son by her side. Rock on, girlfriend, rock on!

 

I chose this topic because I recently hurt the feelings of a young man who wanted more than I was willing to offer, and this weighed heavily on my conscience.

 

(fade in the dramatic music…)

 

As the more mature person, was it my responsibility to protect him from being hurt? Should I not even have gone there? The conclusion I came to was this – yes, I hurt his feelings. That sucks. However, I was completely upfront and honest from the get-go. When I realized that, emotionally,  he was speeding down a dead-end street, I cut him loose immediately. I did so in a mature fashion, with the insightfulness and tact that comes from age and experience. He could have been just as easily hurt had he been dumped by a girl his own age. However, he probably would have had to deal with a crapload of drama and hysterics as well. I don’t believe the outcome had anything to do with me being the “older and wiser” involved partner because I have also experienced a similar situation on the flipside not too long ago.

 

Breaking the bonds of emotional attachment suck like a Hoover either side you’re on, at any age. I will chalk this up as another learning experience in a life full of them.

So here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson.

 

Anyone else have a similar experience to share? Opinions and comments are more than welcome.

Ciao for now!
