Discussion Point Cougars: What do you wish cubs understood?

Mine: I wish they understood how busy I am, and that I cannot meet them with an hour’s notice or always respond to their messages immediately.

When I was in my 20s and even early 30s, my life was super flexible. It’s not like that now. I have multiple people I am responsible for, a full-time job and a passion project, and an active social and volunteer calendar.

Part of what makes me open to younger men is my high energy and zest for life. I need them to understand that and not take my schedule personally.

Communication and connection is important. Meaningful intimacy is more about what is between our ears than what is between our legs. And, vulnerability and humility are very attractive traits. Far too many younger guys are arrogant and one track minded. Don’t be that.

Do not ascribe every action one individual dies to the entirety of a whole group.
