For the rich socialites of New York City, not even a recession can curb the insatiable thirst for young guns. Thus the creation of “Natural Selection Speed Date II: Sugar Mamas & Boy Toys,” the latest in satisfying older women’s sexual appetite.
According to Reuters, “applicants must be over 35, earn at least $500,000 a year or have a minimum of $4 million in liquid assets, entrusted assets or divorce settlement.”
Cougars and cubs met at Manhattan’s 230 Fifth Avenue nightclub on Feb. 7 for a night of speed-dating and, hopefully, romance. The 20 men selected were taken from a pool of 5,000 applicants, who needed to be under age 35. The organizer, Jeremy Abelson, has a history of provocative dating enterprises, not limited to events like “Fashion Meets Finance” and “Rich Guys & Hot Girls.”
No word on if Abelson will expand his experiments to the Northeast Ohio Region.
