The New Trend Of Dating Toyboys

It was only a few years ago that it was very uncommon for older women to date toyboys. It was even considered to be quite a taboo. It seems though this is something that has certainly changed in recent years. From the poking fun approach of films like American Pie with ‘Stiffler’s mom’ to the small screen with shows like Cougar Town and Sex And The City featuring plenty of stories about ‘older women’ looking for that elusive toyboy.

Hollywood has now got in on the act with the latest Catherine Zeta Jones film called The Rebound, its all about a divorced mother in her 40’s (who still looks rather hot we might add) falling for her 25 year old babysitter. We are not sure how many lucky babysitters this happens to but we can be sure that the phenomenon of younger men dating women is a trend that is growing year on year.

Members of the online dating site Toyboy Connection have been increasing steadily throughout this year and with imminent plans to launch internationally it appears there could be even bigger pastures ahead for toyboy dating. It’s an interesting time for age gap dating and we will keep you posted on any news that emerges in the field.

Coronation Street Toyboy Storyline..


Audrey Roberts has been in the thick of a rather raunchy new storyline in recent weeks after she was swept off her feet by a rather dashing toyboy. The widower’s new partner is called Lewis Archer and despite a rocky start, during which she discovered he was an escort – they have settled into a rather good relationship.

But don’t be to sure things wont blow up with more controversy – this is a prime time soap after all… Toyboys are featuring more and more in the countries soaps and tv shows as society seems to be much more willing to accept that age gap relationships are something positive.

There are the shows Cougar Town and Sex And Thee City which seem to always have a younger man / older woman theme and its not just across the pond in the US where the craze is continuing. Emmerdale is said to be preparing a similar themed storyline and its almost the latest must have theme for inclusion.

Courtney Cox Admits She Has Marriage Counselling


The ex Friends and Cougar Town actress Courteney Cox has admitted that she and her toyboy husband David Arquette. Courtney is 46 and David is only 38 but we don’t think the age difference is the reason for them looking for help.

They have had some rocky patches after it was revealed that Courtney was seen out with one of her younger co-stars during her hectic filming schedule. However they have been together for more than 11 years and as such they are one of Hollywood’s most enduring age gap marriages. It’s thought that the therapy may be more of an ‘on-going’ relationship management type of thing rather than being put in place as a tool to resolve urgent disagreements.

It seems that David and Courtney have differences when it comes to their personality – and they have spent a lot of time trying to manage their differences to make their lives in harmony at home. Toyboys in both the USA and UK appear to be getting into longer relationships and marriages with older women and Courteney and David are great examples of this chemistry working great.

Hulk Hogan’s Ex With New Toyboy


Linda Hogan has raised a few eyebrows after it was reported that she is seeing a 21 year old toyboy. Linda is 50 years old herself but the 29 year age gap certainly doesn’t seem to bother her!

They started dating when he was only 19 and many people thought that it had no chance of lasting, but 2 years on they are still together and rock solid. They were pictured walking down the street in LA this week, and they looked a great couple. They both have platinum hair and were wearing similar clothes making them look a close pair.

Lind’s marriage to Hulk Hogan ended after 23 years together in 2007 after endless arguments, it was suggested that the Hulk had had a secret affair with a family friend. Linda’s toyboy was a former schoolmate of her daughter Brooke – she wasn’t to pleased what she discovered that her mum was dating him either!

However the relationship has lasted and its refreshing to see toyboys and older women working out in the long term silencing critics who may think they can only have short flings.

Women In 40’s Enjoying Liberation


It may come as no surprise that the women these days are having more fun than ever, but it may come as more of a surprise that women in their 40s and 50s are having the most fun of all. Apparently they are enjoying an age of sexual liberation and they are certainly taking advantage of all the toyboys out there who are single to.

The thinking behind this is that as women age they become less fixated by things like body image and prefer to focus on enjoying themselves. Researchers from the University Of Texas have shown that women in their 40s indulge themselves in more sexual fantasies and have more fulfilling sex lives than ladies of the same age.

Toyboys will be pleased to hear this as research also shows that women are wanting to meet younger men and it makes them feel great to show them off. Nearly ½ of women in their 40’s have said that they would be interested to date a toyboy who is more than 5 years younger than them!

Miss Cougar USA Crowned…


While here in the UK we have women who like to date toyboys over in the USA and Canada they focus on the women and they call them ‘cougars’… In fact the twist in the states is that the women are encouraged to really prowl onto the guys.

Well that’s what happens at the Cougar Convention where the women compete to be crowned ‘Cougar of the year’ they are expected to go amongst the guys in the crowd and win their affections in order for the guys too vote for them. Certainly a novel way of getting people meeting and chatting! It’s proved so popular that the organisers had to turn people away at the door.

Toyboy partys are becoming increasingly popular on this side of the Atlantic with the average turnout at about 150 people. The prize for winning Miss Cougar USA a free holiday to Jamaica and also a cruise holiday which is themed as a – you guessed it, a ‘couger cruise’..

While sounding very different to the UK scene – infact there are a lot of similarities in the UK’s age gap dating game, perhaps not so brash and in your face, but there’s certainly plenty of fun to be had for both older women and their toyboys. Perhaps not Cougar Cruises though…

Toyboy Connection will be launching in the states very soon so it will be interesting to see how things progress and if they finally get used to using the word toyboy..

Madonna And Gwyneth Paltrow In Argument


Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow used to be best friends but it seems that there has been a change in relations recently. The Wireless held host to a variety of stars but Madonna and her toyboy Jesus stayed clear of Gwyneth as they partied in their private box.

There were reports the pair were still friends but it seemed their refusal to hook up at the festival seemed to speak volumes. Gwyneth has been together with singer / songwriter Chris Martin for a good few years, Chris is a few years younger and is a toyboy himself!

It seems there is no stopping Hollywood starlets in getting with younger men, even Paris Hilton was pictured getting in on the action earlier this month when she was pictured kissing a 21 year old actor at a star studded party. Also Kelly Brooke, despite only being 30, was famously in a long term relationship with a partner over 8 years younger, although unfortunately they split up last week, but we are sure there are plenty more toyboys on the look out for her!

Madonna’s Toyboy Jesus Modeling Again


Madonna’s toyboy Jesus Luz is in the headlines again after agreeing to model at the latest Thomas Sabo fashion collection in London next week. The model has rubbished suggestions that his relationship with Madonna had hit the rocks. Although there was no denying that they have had a few arguments they are firmly together and Jesus has been spending time with Madonna in her London home and things are going great our sources confirmed.

At the launch the singer Beth Ditto who is known for her wild antics will be joining them at the fashion show and there is talk that she could be pulling a big stunt – we have no idea what it could be but Beth is a larger than life character so anything possible.

The subject of toyboys now follows Madonna around wherever she goes especially as she is in her 50’s but going out with one of the most eligible models in the world, in his early 20’s. Luckily Madonna’s relationship got the thumbs up from Jesus’s mum earlier in the year after speculation that she may not have approved of their unconventional partnership.

Second Annual Toyboy Convention In USA


The second annual ‘Cougar Convention’ has taken place in the USA and proved a big success bringing together toyboys and older women in a great atmosphere of celebration. The event is kind of like one big party at the ballroom of a big hotel – and there certainly was romance in the air.

The whole thing was started by a guy known as Rich Gosse, who is a full time dating coach helping people acquire the skills to be successful in the world of singletons. He has turned his hands to making the toyboy dating world a huge thing in the states. Although they prefer to focus on the word ‘Cougars’ instead of ‘toyboys’.

The Cougar Conventions are traditionally started by a warm up speech from Rich himself to set the atmosphere and welcome people to the event and ask why the attendees like older women and younger men. Most answers centered around the fact that younger guys are more energetic and fun to be with. The guys thought the older ladies are fun to be with and don’t mess the guys around so much as they know exactly what they want.

After breaking the ice the lights dimmed, the music started and everyone started mingling making it a true singles event and there was romance in the air as things hotted up.. The members of the crowd who gave their opinions about why they came made it clear they weren’t there just for sex, they were looking to try something different and with all the hype surrounding the topic with shows like Sex And The City and Cougar Town making it more normal to have an age gap relationship.
