The idea to try to cure feeling unhappy with a mind altering substance feels way more unhealthy for me than the conversation between mother and daughter.
I'd be surprised if there was a great deal of disagreement from folks here in principle, or the world at large, although I think you'd find an awful lot of them, myself included, do not practice what they preach.
Written from a train, on my way to visit my mother for five cannabis-free days.
Now I have the problem that I want to ask if there are actually people who are into MILFs in the first place, which would explain the existence of this riddiculous internet acronym in the first place, but then again I dont actually want to know the answer to that question.
Speaking from casually polling other men - and yes, we are the worst; when I say casually polling I mean 'disgusting misogynist conversations that I these days try to avoid' - and my own brief fling with a woman two decades my senior, I don't know many people who are into 'MILFs' in the traditional sense. The actual having of a child is incidental, it is generally more of a 'television has taught me that women past 30 are incapable of being attractive, so LOOK HOW HOT THIS 45 YEAR OLD WOMAN IS????' than an actual MILF fetish. That, and often finding it appealing if a woman has experience, or a belief that any woman of a certain age, especially if divorced, must inevitably have been sexually repressed and need liberating. By your penis.
In my case, the point where I had gained experience of actually having an intimate emotional relationship with a woman of that age was pretty much the exact point I stopped calling
anyone a MILF at any point, although given it happened around the time I was basically learning what feminism actually is, I'm not sure how often I was using that term anyway.
Relevant disgusting anecdote, at my first full-time job I was in another office to talk to somebody about something, and I overheard a conversation between two dudes who worked there:
'Aaron, I need your password so I can fix your computer'
'All small letters, "milfhunter"'
'Aaron it's supposed to be something people can't guess'
I must admit though I would date almost any of the characters in QC quite happily and Aurelia being a divorced stoner means we have two things in common
