Today over at the Bold Italic, Kelly Malone of Indie Mart tells us about her love life:
There’s a taboo to the term cougar, much like the played out “hipster” tag. No one actually wants to be called one, myself included. However, I am 36 and dating guys a decade younger.
Let me point out, I have nothing against guys my age, and I don’t rule them out. But it’s funny (as they say) that as I get older, the dudes I’m dating stay the same age. I’m drawn to the hallmarks of these 20-somethings – the sound of skateboard wheels coming down the street, the sight of postgrads paying for their coffee with quarters. I don’t need a financially secure, established guy. I need adventure!
Adventure is the best! Read on!
Mission Local had this 3 hours ago.
Wow. I didn’t realize all the men in the mission were so white
Actually, they all look Asian to me.
Yes, even the bleach blondes.
They all look gay to me — not that that’s a bad thing.
GROSS. buy my drinks. make a first move.
Grow the fuck up Kelly.
aww
u mad
I could definitely use more bookish grad student in my life.
So she’s acting like she’s in her twenties and ends up meeting guys in their twenties. I’m shocked.
Funny how a 36-year-old woman who by all appearances is responsible, gainfully employed and has her shit together gets raked over the coals for dating men in their twenties; meanwhile scummy 36-year-old Mission dudes who aren’t even ‘together’ enough to wash their bedsheets are totally absolved of any and all Jameson-fueled one night stands with 22-year-olds. SMDH.
+1
havent felt the need to respond. but thank you. from the 36 year old who needs to grow the fuck up:) thanks jane:)
xo kelly
why would you wash your sheets?
hah! it’s not like 36 year old men in the Mission are usually financially secure and established.
