However, the nuance is that with Mrs Robinson Syndrome the insinuation is that the younger male was lusting after the older woman. The relatively recently coined "cougar" describes the same process but the emphasis is on the older woman lusting after the younger man. It's all about who's doing the chasing really but it's quite a subtle nuance as they both refer to the same type of relationship. |
