Cougars, Toyboys, and Taboo: Older Women and Younger Men

Sharing My Truth

In this episode of Sharing My Truth, Mel and Suzie dive into the world of cougars and younger men. Mel spills the tea on knowing older women who proudly date younger boyfriends, while Suzie is left wondering if this is a real-life trend or just a Hollywood fantasy. From celebrity headlines to everyday love stories, they explore whether the cougar dynamic is more common than we think—or just a media-driven myth. Tune in as they unpack the stereotypes, the allure, and whether age really matters when it comes to love and attraction!

As the conversation unfolds, the duo questions why society often reacts differently to these pairings compared to older men dating younger women. Are we finally moving past outdated double standards, or is there still a stigma surrounding the “cougar” label? From mainstream media buzz to personal anecdotes, Mel and Suzie uncover the complexities of these relationships, questioning whether age is truly just a number—or something much more layered.

Tune in and let us know what you think.
