He may look harmless, but he's been known to kill prey as large as a moose. His conservation status may be classified as "vulnerable" making him seem warm and fuzzy, but his powerful jaws are enough to crush bones.
He is the wolverine. And he is completely ruining the dating scene for women under the age of 30.
Men have cougars, the species of older women that just love going after younger men. Today, I introduce to you the plight of the wolverine, a term coined by my hair stylist Kerry and her 20-something friends.
Who doesn't love a grandpa? My dad, although I am a little biased, is one of the most adorable over 55 men ever-- much more so when he's with his grandkids, and not just putting up with me and my daddy's girl antics.(Let the record show however he is NOT a wolverine).
I'll tell you who doesn't love a grandpa. The women that get hit on by them. As in the women that are nowhere near being grandma age and still get the up-down from the over 50, sometimes over 60 crowd. And oh man is that crowd a bunch of witty ones, with at times absolutely no self-censor to stop them from at times saying something completely and totally creepy.
I had a 66-year-old man tell me last week on one of the sites that he would love to start his second family with me. Countless others in the wolverine range tell me that young and fertile is just what the doctor ordered. And apparently I'm on the list of prescribed medications.
I'm sorry. I haven't even gotten around to starting my first family...much less considered hitting the ring for a second round.
After talking with other women over the weekend, I've found it's a wider spread problem than one might think. An entire crop of Kerry and her friends got hit on by not just grandpas-- but blitzed grandpas celebrating after a round of golf. Another friend recounted the tale of a wolverine that just wanted to buy one of her friends nice things.
These wolverines are in search of the fountain of youth and apparently they've found it-- in the under 30 crowd.
