Attention Women: Cougars Die Early!
Attention ladies, cougars die early. If you are considering settling with a 'boy toy'…think again…as it may send you to an early grave.
A study from Max Planck Institute in Germany suggests that older women in their 30s and 40s who date much younger men (cougars) have increased chances of dying earlier by 20 per cent. In fact, the greater the age difference, the lower the wife's life expectancy.
However, men who married younger women lived longer. Isn't that the ultimate double standard?!
Anyways, the researchers said that women with younger men could be regarded as outsiders and receive less social support, thereby resulting in a less joyful and more stressful life, reduced health, and finally, increased mortality. It simply means more stress for women because they are 'violating social norms' and thus suffer from social sanctions.
