Ever get the “wonders”? As in, “I wonder why this young person is interested in being with someone my age”? I remember thinking that on many occasions when I was 40 and dating a 24-year-old. Of course for guys it’s a mid-life crisis or lechery, nothing cutesy like being called a cougar. I still have a sense of bewilderment that it ever happened. Hey, enjoy yourself. ---

Have you met his mother yet? I keep envisioning Liz Lemon in 30 Rock (season 2, ep 7, Cougars)when she met her boytoy’s mom and realized it could be her. ---

> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > But you have to admit that you probably thought the same about older people when you were young. It’s a common misconception- I joke about it a lot because that’s how I deal with my aging issues, but I think it’s perfectly normal for a young person to see a person in their 50’s as fairly decrepit. As I get older, I’m finding that I think the signs of aging on people actually look good. I like wrinkles and grey hair - young people’s faces are starting to look unfinished and too simple now. ---

Does the 24 years old kid have a preference for older women? I would or I would prefer much more mature ladies. Girls that dissolve into giggles for no reason (at least not discernible to me) drives me up the roof. ---

I have nothing of substance to add, but I would like to say that I think **Alice** is awesome. ---

We were 35 and 24 when me and my honey first got together. I think it’s been harder on him than me. I got old and run down rather quickly after having a baby. ---
