Why Cougars Crave "Idol" Runner-Up Adam Lambert
Newsweek ^ | 6/11/09 | Joan Raymond

Posted on 06/11/2009 9:12:00 AM PDT by pissant

Let's talk images. A snake. A butterfly. A young man with his shirt unbuttoned to his waist, pouting at the camera. Lots of chest stubble. Alone, each image is rather boring. Put them together, and what you have is a hotter-than-Johnny Depp new Rolling Stone cover of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. The 27-year-old dude who made guyliner fashionable again gave an interview to the magazine confirming—big surprise—that he's gay. What's really surprising: I can't stop thinking about him. And neither can any of my cougar-aged friends. We love Adam, truly, madly, deeply, in a kind of weirdly Mrs. Robinson sexual way. And the reason doesn't just have to do with our past lives as professional groupies. It also has something to do with biology.

Just a few short months ago, most of my female friends and I were clueless about Adam Lambert. We're busy, professional women, some of us with demanding families and children, all of us with demanding jobs. We never spent our Tuesday nights in front of the TV. Yet this year, for slightly more than two months, phone calls went unanswered and any type of social or familial interactions were put on hold on so we could plop ourselves in front of our sets at 8 p.m. to watch American Idol, the No. 1 rated show on TV, which none of us had ever bothered with before. It started innocently enough: A friend, waylaid by a flu bug, was channel-surfing from the comfort of her couch one Tuesday evening and saw a bejeweled young thing singing a scorching rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." She left us phone messages and tweets, saying, and I quote, "ohmygawdyouhavetoseethisemoglambowielovechildonAmericanIdol." We went, "Huh," but we tuned in the following week. And then we were gone.

“A 34 year old woman is considered “cougar”?”

If you are 17, yes.

Yah, your analysis seems on. The Alan Alda character, the homosexuals in all the movies who are always the “best friend.” The whole thing is disgusting, and the very, very sad thing is that Adam Lambert can sing.

I feel bad for Joan. To lust after a poofter must be hard to live with.

Nothing new. Chicks swooned over Liberace in the 50s, although deep down they had to know the truth.

Translation: "I don't know how to handle real men and thus lust for homosexual little boys".

Ick.

My wife and daughters watch this trash all the time. If it has an Idol, or has Got Talent, or has Dancing Stars, or God forbid the 100th season of those Surviving morons, they are all over it.

Sombody can sing pretty, or backstab well, or both, and I am supposed to give a damn? They spend 90% of the time making fun of losers who aren't smart enough to see they suck? Why not just go to a circus sideshow and watch some REAL freaks bite the heads off live chickens?

I have to laugh...women spend so much of their time trying to achive "intimacy" and asking questions on the order of "What are you thinking? How about now? What about NOW?"

The real secret is what most men know they think about most of the time, and very little of it has to do with idealized Fhavio faux-romance. Try sharing EXACTLY "what works" with the young lady so concerned with examining and understanding every one of your feelings. You will either have a mate for life, or she may go shrieking into the night.

Real Cougars would not be interested sexually in a male who could not be sexually interested back.....that's part of being a cougar LOL!

I say these Glambert lovers are more like Bobcats..... ;)

Those women ARE classy. I watched some of their stuff this Christmas. Amazing talent and beautiful ladies.

But I think the violin player needs to eat some food. She seemed shockingly (almost disturbingly) skinny.

*grin* Indeed.

Assertive sexuality - not aggressive sexuality - is the key there. But I suspect many men would be just as comfortable with honest female responses ...
