Context.

Young Alpha: 22-years-old. Exhibits most of the qualities that TRP preaches; good physique, dresses well, owns a business, sense of humor, etc. We've been friends for awhile. I'm pretty confident in myself, but this dude is on another level. Last chick I saw him with could've been a porn star.

Cougar: 50-years-old. Recently divorced. Flirtatious and touchy-feely. Cute but she's old enough to be my mom. I met her about two months ago at a happy hour event that Young Alpha hosted. She's dtf but I haven't pursued because I'm not into older women right now.

Some of our friends overlap, that's how we all ended up at Young Alpha's happy hour in April.

Story and question.

This weekend I hung out with some of our mutual friends at a bar. Young Alpha wasn't there, but Cougar showed up. We all had a good time. Somehow the conversation drifted, and Cougar strongly suggested that she fucked somebody close to my age. That confirmed my suspicions that she is a bonafide Cougar with a capital C. Anyways then she started talking about Young Alpha. She said -- and I quote -- "I like him, but he needs to grow up a little." I chuckled and took another drink.

I'm wondering why she stated that. Does she view Young Alpha as immature? Is she guilty? Curious what your thoughts are.
