Better With Age

A favorite star of mine that portrays class and style is Demi Moore and then she stated with a smile... “I said I would get better with each baby, and I have." I find this quote funny yet with meaning and I'm glad. In this century do we really still judge? Continuing to find the need to label unique love? If a woman finds content in a sweet male cub then we should be happy instead of using our noses to snub. I find the term cougar a compliment in the end. It symbolizes maturity not prowling to win. As we age we gain self assurance and self worth. Becoming confident instead of dependent like at birth. Maybe there is a connection between a cougar and younger men. Don't knock it unless you've tried it perhaps it will bring you zen. *By Kristen Bruni for Cougar Effect Contest

If I were to be attacked by a Cougar she would be so old that she wouldn't have teeth or claws!! I guess that I will not be able to try it. I did enjoy the read - Mike

Demi is an excellent example of the Cougar Effect, Kristen. And I agree wholeheartedly, we shouldn't knock it unless we've tried it. I try not to make such judgments. If people find happiness together, that's all that really matters. Great entry for Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn
