Back in the day’s when society suggested that women should only be heard but not seen, had many baby boomer women “stunting” their growth romatically and mentally as a person. Usually once they’ve “figured” out what they want, they were labeled as being too old.

Many of these women who were subjective to what society wanted them to be, where people of contributing importance. Years ago, television and movies depicted women to be housewives, working in the kitchen and having and taking care of the children, which was true, but also shunned and was unaccepting for anything outside of this role. This made women looked at as “lesser” of a person to others.

In today’s society, women serve more as an equal partner than a silent one. Not only that, but there are more women who feel more comfortable being more aggressive in all aspects of life. That includes the aspect of dating and dating younger men. This type of attitude and assertivness has developed the cougar dating trend. Older women dating younger men is no longer something that is “unusual”, and to be quite honest, there are a lot of men who like this.

Experience means less “clingy” which all men tend to not like.
