‘You’re getting younger,’ people say as cougar admits ‘everyone said’ her 20-year age gap relationship ‘wouldn’t last’
A SELF-PROCLAIMED cougar pounced on those who were skeptical of her age gap love story.
Years later, the couple is still going strong – and her best revenge of all might just be that she is the one who seems to be aging better.
She also encouraged others to listen to their hearts, not the haters.
“I’m 20 years older, they said it wouldn’t last,” said Connie Sato (@conniesato).
She set out to prove the naysayers wrong by sharing throwback images of herself and her husband followed by pictures of the couple through the years looking as in love as ever.
The only thing that seemed to change were her brunette locks that are now blonde, as their feelings appeared to be the same.
Her fans shared their own stories – and couldn’t believe Connie’s ageless appearance.
“He got older, you got younger,” said one follower.
“Lol, thank you!” she replied.
“You look young and beautiful,” another viewer agreed.
“I’m dating someone 18 years younger, thanks for this. There are a lot of haters out there sadly. You do not look much older than him either,” said another watcher.
“Thank you. There are lots of people that make assumptions that aren’t true. Glad you found someone that makes you happy. That’s what it’s all about,” responded Connie.
“Thought I would get haters when I shared our story, what actually happened – got lots of love,” she said in a second video.
Connie formed a heart shape with her hands to express her gratitude.
“All the cougars coming together in the comments like I’m 20 years older than my hubby as well,” said one follower.
“Time for women to live their best lives! And not feel like they can’t talk about it,” she replied.
“Older women for the win,” said another watcher.
“Yes!” she agreed.
It seemed there was even scientific evidence to prove just why the cougar era was the best one yet.
According to a survey by Gitnux, 81% of women in relationships with younger men report high levels of relationship satisfaction.
