Though we women in midlife might be cheering for Madame Macron, we are still faced with the fact that most Silver Foxes are jauntily dallying with/marrying vulnerable Much Younger Women, while peering over their reading glasses — and our heads — when we attempt to flag them down. These guys fear being labeled a Cougar’s toy, something one SF who’s hitched to a woman almost 30 (thirty) years younger explained to me recently. As that pesky old double standard has it, we’re branded as Cougars while you know what Mr SF is called?
