Cougars ‘n Cubs

Actually I'm referring to older woman/younger man couples. Rich Gosse of Gosse's Society of Single Professionals is hosting a cub convention on January 30 in Millbrea, California. Cubs is, of course, a reference to the young men typically between 21 and 40 who enjoy these relationships. Last year Gosse hosted a cougar convention in Palo Alto which drew 1000 conventioneers to a venue meant for 400. While Gosse hopes to host another large group. he doesn't think the cub convention will be quite as big. The women present will be asked to vote for 'World's Cutest Cub' from the amongst the male participants. The winner will receive a tickets for a Bahamas or Mexican Riviera International Cougar Cruise and a copy of the DVD "Spread" in which Ashton Kutcher basically plays himself.

The Cougar Cruise prize won't be taking place on Carnival Cruise Lines. After hosting one such event Carnival has declined a request to book another. Carnival denies any problems on the first cougar cruise, but state they've decided the theme doesn't fit their family friendly image. Norwegian and Royal Caribbean Lines have no such qualms about hosting the theme according to event planners.

Carnival's move, in this time of economic downturn, seems to be a bit dense.

Oh sure, an older woman gets into a relationship with a younger partner and it's all "cougars", "cubs" and cruise ships. But when I show an interest in young women all I get is called a "dirty old man" and a restraining order forbidding me from using night-vision or telephoto equipment within 5 miles of the nurses college ever again!

Oh good lord. I live in Millbrae and my husband is 9 years younger than I. I know the place this is being held. It's an incredibly tacky hotel right under the SFO flight plan.
