I don't know for certain, but I would say the assumptions made in the original post are feeding into the stereotypes the labels like to create.
Most women only want younger men? Since when? Yes, there are women who have a preference for younger guys, but I would not say most. In fact, it seems that men tend to prefer younger women (at least from an initial attraction standpoint) than women preferring men.

This seems to be the case. That most women only want younger men for what they can do in bed, and because they are prettier, younger and stronger. But I'm sure many just like the youthfulness of a younger partner, without the sexual aspect. I'm sure some also want a relationship, not just sex (of course that's an important component lol). I wouldn't mind being with a slightly older woman (maybe up to 10 years) but then again I wouldn't want to be with anyone more than 10-15 years younger either. But I'm sure you'll agree the stereotype is certainly there. Men who prefer younger women aren't necessarily seen as more virile than those who don't, although that's often the case, but not to the same extent.
I personally find terms like 'Cougar' and 'MILF' more suited to a teen flick, more what teenage boys would say, but since they've become popular it's easier to just use them because everyone knows what they mean.
Be it man or woman if some is 40 in five years they are going to be 45. If 45 in 10 years they are going to be 55. So cougar or whatever at some point reality is going to hit. You can't go back in life and why should anyone..
That being said get in where you fit in. If you can date that young and firm 20-25 year old I say go for it.. At a certain you can turn off the lights. close the shade and even put on a blind fold but at some point your going to smell Ben Gay.. Then in about 10 more years your officially a Geezer.. I'm looking forward to becoming a geezer.. That way I can tell basically anyone off and get away with it.
Younger men are fitter and sexy...lol! But you don't want to go TOO young. I see the old, old guys in the pool and think YUK. They are probably nice guys - but you can't beat a hot bod! hahaha (tongue firmly in cheek!)
