cougars and sugardaddies

In colloquial terms the words; cougars and sugar daddies have different meanings than when used in the natural sense. I have come to learn that in the context of the retiree these words are loaded and often met with suspicion and disdain. Persons are apt to regard the senior involved as a poppy show, another word from yesteryear, meaning an idiot. As have already been alluded to, retirement can evoke feelings of loneliness and a desire to be needed and this oft time can lead to some unlikely liaisons. Though the relationship may be mutually beneficial to both adults, unbeknownst to them, society views it with negative connotations. This is particularly evident where it is an extremely younger person that fills the void for the retiree. The female retiree is labelled by society as a cougar and in the case of a male retiree he becomes a sugar daddy in the eyes of our society and this is based solely on the age difference. The purpose of making mention of this situation is to heighten the awareness so that if you find yourself so situated you can assess your participation and determine whether it matters or matters not what society thinks and cougar or sugar daddy you will live your life for you.
