There's a certain amount of malicious sneering about it - it usually (as far as I've heard it) implies a rich older woman who keeps a young pretty boy-toy around for fucks.

I was just wondering why there had to be the label. You don't automatically become a cougar after some arbitrary age, and being in that 25-40 area as we are doesn't require a label where some dude can say "awwww yisssss, gonna pick me up some [insert label here] 2nite!"

Though, to tell you the truth, I wasn't half so irritated at the label questions as the "ur".

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I'm so bummed I'm 23. To be honest, I wanted to be young enough to be considered a "kid" forever, because adults are stupid.

Yeah, a number that represents how old my body is. I can physically feel the difference between this age and my twenties when I was in the military.

I can still do the same things I did then.

But it hurts so much more now.

40 is when everything starts going to shit. You can't focus on fine print and your joints start aching.
