A self-proclaimed 87-year-old “super cougar” has revealed why she exclusively dates men who are significantly younger than her.
Hattie Retroage, a self-proclaimed 87-year-old “super cougar,” has shared her reasons for only dating men who are much younger than her.
She explains that age is just a number, which is clearly the case for Hattie.
Hattie admits that she is not averse to using modern technology to find new romantic partners.
She revealed the reason why only dating young men
In a 2019 interview, her Tinder profile described her as a “fascinating older beauty” and claimed she had a “steady selection of young men.”
When asked if she only dates younger men, Hattie stated that older men are often more preoccupied with aging, something she says “makes sense.”
Younger men are less worried about sexual performance
She believes younger men are not as concerned about their ability to sexually perform, explaining that “a younger guy is not thinking about aging.”
Hattie also revealed that many men her own age “aren’t around anymore,” which is certainly one factor driving her to date younger companions.
Being attracted to younger men’s drive and goals
She enjoys that younger men are “in the middle of achieving a goal,” something she finds appealing.
Hattie’s foray into dating much younger men has led to some interesting encounters. She recounted meeting a man from Ecuador who was significantly younger than she anticipated.
In fact, she admitted she “probably wouldn’t have gone to bed with him” if she had known he was only 19 years old at the time.
“I didn’t know he was 19. I probably wouldn’t have gone to bed with him if I knew he was 19,” she said.
Despite her unorthodox dating preferences, Hattie’s daughter Rama is generally not embarrassed by her mother’s active love life.
However, Rama did express being a bit put off when Hattie ended up “in a dorm” with one of her dates, feeling that was “pushing the limit.”
In the past, Hattie was married and had children, but the marriage ended after her kids went to university.
Following her divorce, she decided to take a more proactive approach, placing an ad in the newspaper to find a new romantic partner.
Hattie would then “audition” potential dates over the phone before deciding if she wanted to meet them in person.
Hattie’s strong sex drive drives her preference for younger men.
Hattie’s self-proclaimed “powerful sex drive” is a key factor behind her preference for younger men.
In an interview with SBS Dateline, she described the “nakedness” as making “every pore on her body” explode “with life,” calling it “wonderful” and adding, “Because it’s life, darling.”
Despite the significant age gap between Hattie and her younger beaus, she firmly believes that age is just a number.
Her unconventional dating choices have garnered significant media attention, with Hattie proudly embracing her identity as a “super cougar.”
Social media reaction
After revealing the reason why only dating younger men, Hattie faces divided opinions on social media.
Some applaud her openness and confidence in embracing her desires without age constraints. They see her as breaking stereotypes about older women’s sexuality.
However, others criticize her choice, questioning the dynamics and longevity of such relationships.
Just imagine if this was said about some guy in her age, one user said.
Probably 90% are younger then her, the second user commented.
I think that’s wonderfull but why do we torch men for doing the same? The third user said.
I wonder what that 19 year old boy was thinking what was going through his mind when he was smashing grandma over here? Another shared.
Hopefully she is loaded. Only way I would do that, for lots of money, someone said.
It’s her life! She has much more energy than I do, someone said.
