Years ago, people would have used terms like cougar, sugar mummy or the Mrs Robinson Syndrome to refer to older women dating younger men which would have been seen as purely transactional – for sex, money or both. There are far more of such couples in the dating space for sure.

What does the term Mrs Robinson mean?

Mrs. Robinson is a term used to describe an older woman pursuing someone younger than herself, in reference to the character from the 1967 movie The Graduate.
