Discovering Cheetahs

by

Earlier this week, I was chatting with a friend of mine, a spirited and savvy lesbian north of 50.  She was a little giddy after having just met a fetching young woman who appeared to be very much her type.  Those in our group expressed optimism that things might work out between our single friend and the young lady whose acquaintance she had just made.  But, she worried about the age difference — greater than a quarter century.

Fumbling for words, I tried to recall that term for older woman who like younger women.  Knowing it was a wild and fierce cat, I said, “Maybe she likes cheetahs.”

“Cheetahs?”  She said.

“You know older women who like younger women.”

She corrected me and said the term I was looking for was “cougars” — older women who date younger men.

A cheetah ready to pounce

So, we decided to adopt a new term, a cheetah for an older lesbian who dates younger women. And a kitten is a young lesbian who likes cheetahs.

  1. Cheetahs and kittens – cute 🙂

    Is there a word for a gay guy who *doesn’t* like younger guys, but fell into dating one, just because it’s the most adorable person ever? “Reluctant chicken hawk” sounds too clunky.

    Being in the same boat myself, I kinda like badger. But if we have to stick to the non-domesticated feline, how about leopard? Snow leopard? Lynx?

    Our choices are limited. There are only about 42 species of cats on Earth, and over a thousand species of bats.

    And the Honey Badger is the most super badass animal in the world. It just doesn’t give a sh-t.

  7. For the conservative men who happened to be homos:
    the young should be bucks;
    the bucks then mature into stags.

    Or maybe I just like the Jaeger logo too much.
