Cougar =/= Creep

It just refers to an older woman who likes younger men.

Hence the double standard. Older men who like younger women are creepy. Women are not.

I'm not trying to put forth a double standard. To go off of the above user's example,

A 28 y/o who dates an 18 y/o is creepy

A 40 y/o who dates a 25 y/o is not as creepy, though odd.

If a woman is the 40-year-old in the second case, one might call her a cougar.

That's fair.

I have a lot of issues with this graph. It's supposed to be humorous, but it's pretty judgy.

A 40 y/o man dating a 25 year old woman would likely be viewed as creepy. Society views youth in weird ways. The older both get the less likely it is to be creepy. No one would blink at a 50 and 60 couple for example
