Cougars Drool Over Lambert

Share

(Newser) – “Cougar-aged” women across the continent tuned into American Idol for the first time this season, Joan Raymond writes for Newsweek, after acquiring an obsession with its oh-so-sexy and oh-so-gay eventual runner-up, Adam Lambert. “We became Glamberts,” Raymond writes. “When we got together, we no longer talked about good books. We talked about all things Lambert.” But weirdly, she thinks the “lust” is totally normal.

Research shows that women like square-jawed types when they want a fling, but seek more feminine characteristics in a long-term mate: “Lambert has a little bit of both, as anyone who saw his version of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love can attest.” And mentally, the Lambert-love is actually healthy. “I think more women would be happier if they channeled their inner 14-year-old girls once in a while,” says one sex therapist.

Just another glib, chauvinistic American term for pre-middle age women who like sex... I reckon it's a polite replacement for "MILF".

A 35+ year old female who is on the "hunt" for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in San Francisco (or other cities)waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. "Man is cougar's number one prey" Millions of them. More famously, Demi and Ashton, Naomi Watts and Heath Ledger, Joan Collins and her hubby, Cameron and Justin, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.

misogynistic, no. Replacement for milf, no. I rest my case. Just a word describing an old bitty looking for some fresh icky.
