Strange love: French First Lady-to-be takes cougar to a whole new level

Achieving Woman

When it comes to matters of the heart, the French dance to a different beat. They are not as puritanical as the rest of the world and have shown us that there having mistresses and love-children need not be such a big deal.

This year, they have outdone themselves because we are not sure about what to make of the First couple’s relationship. What do you say, when the age gap between the President and his wife is 24 years?

What do you say about the circumstances of their meeting where one was a teacher and the other a pupil?

And how does one classify the relationship between the President and his stepchildren, some of whom are older than he is? Let us just say that the French First Lady-to-be, Brigitte Macron has given a whole meaning to the word cougar.

In simple terms, a cougar is a woman who prefers to have relationships with younger men. According to most people, this goes against norms and traditions because well, when it comes to relationships the man is expected to be the older one. I think times have changed and women who are looking for love need to start looking in the young men market for a few simple reasons.

Ability to lure

For starters, the ‘mature /older’ men market has become a bit crowded and a tad too competitive. The market is overflowing with women of all shades and shapes vying for the attention of the rather limited selection of reasonably sane, good looking and employed men. An unmarried man at 30 is an eligible bachelor who mysteriously triples his attractiveness especially if he has moved up the corporate ladder and has a healthy bank balance.

The same does not apply for a woman - once a woman hits 30, her ability to lure and bag and eligible bachelor diminishes by more than half. Given this rather imbalanced state of affairs, women are realising they need to think outside the box and simply go for the younger men (the under 30s) to meet their love needs.

Young men come with certain advantages that we women can work with. As we all know youth looks good, especially when it is packaged in a nubile six-packed body.

Visual stimulation

When it comes to looks and sex appeal, the under 30s beat the over 30s mainly because they are still relatively lean and mean looking and are yet to acquire the pot bellies that have become common place with the over 30s.

Any woman who chooses to have a ‘cub ‘or ‘toy boy’ is guaranteed visual stimulation and pleasure as a bare minimum.

One of the constant fights between mature men and women is that about change. Most men will confess that they hate it when women keep trying to change them and panel beat them into shape. This does not apply to young men these days who are as bold and as brazen to place ads in the paper seeking the attention of older women who they hope will take care of them and mould them into the shape. So, if you are an older woman looking to change the world one man at a time - then a young man is your best bet.

It has also become easier to meet young men thanks to social media and the Internet. Maybe it is time Kenyan women shed of their moral scruples and adopted the French way of looking at cougar love.
