It's obvious that America is obsessed with cougars, almost as much as vampires, now perhaps more so than zombies. A cougar can be defined as a woman in her 30s or 40s who is on the sexual "prowl" for a much younger man. An older woman can be valued for her independent nature and experience, but the term "cougar" is often used in a negative way, describing a woman who is looking outside of her league and acceptable age range. But what about men in their 40s or even 50s who are interested in younger women, is there a way to describe them other than creep, pervert, or the classic "dirty old man?" Yes there is, the answer lies in the wisdom of the grey fox.
A grey fox is a successful, suave, and attractive man who displays some measure of grey hair. This can range from a touch of grey to a full head, although the latter would most likely be found on a relatively younger man who has turned grey prematurely. The grey fox is a term that is more specific than the cougar, the word fox implies a sex appeal that is not necessarily inherent in the female counterpart. Perhaps this evolved from the term "stone cold fox" or even "foxy," either way the grey fox is becoming a more accepted aspect of American culture. The Beer Fox pays tribute to one of the most ultimate grey foxes of all time, the Clooney.
