Bianca May Not Support Cougars, Funny Anyway

While we don’t think much of her advice given that we’re all about cougars, Memphis Flyer advice columnist Bianca Phillips is hard not to like. When “Hot Mama” writes in lamenting her ability to hold onto a man, admits, “I'm a bit of a cougar,” and wonders “age could be the issue,” Bianca doesn’t hold back…

Dear Hot Mama,

The only thing wrong with you is your penchant for younger men. Since 30 is the new 20, people in their mid-30s are at the height of their career life. They're getting promotions and relocating to other cities for better-paying positions.

If you want a man who'll stick around, date someone your own age or even a few years older. Most people in their mid-50s are set in their careers. They'll be retiring in a few years and stay in one place for the benefit of their retirement plan.

Besides, a man in his 30s is young enough to be your son. You may fancy yourself in the "hot older mom" role, but since men mature slower than women, you're essentially dating men with the maturity level of a woman in her late 20s. The age/maturity level gap is really a bit too wide here, don't ya think?

If you insist on dating younger men, you might find a keeper with less financially-motivated types, but beware of stoners and slackers. There are plenty of men in their mid-30s who are floundering around, looking for a sugar mama to fund their pot habits. And shouldn't couples really share the recreational expenses?

Either way, you'll likely find someone to settle down with when the time is right. Losing two boyfriends in row for similar reasons is a little strange, but not yet indicative of a pattern. Who knows? The next guy, no matter his age, could be Mr. Right.

Hey, Hot Mama, watch out for stoners!

So funny. We love Bianca even if she gives what we would consider to be terrible advice.
