MILFiest MILF

[Solmyr]

Sigourney Weaver. Though I guess she falls under grandma.

[derspiess]

A few years ago I would've said Patricia Heaton, but she peaked sometime after Everyone Loves Raymond.  I'd say maybe Megan Mullally, but she may have peaked as well.

[Syt]

Anyone else notice that once or twice a female friend enters MILF territory ?

I guess at a base level, it's you recognising that by becoming a mother, it proves she's fertile; nature triumphs over stereotype barby dolls ?

Preggo chicks give me the willies, giving birth demolishes vaginas like a satchel charge in a VC tunnel, and nothing wears down a woman more than the stress of motherhood.

Preggos that haven't turned into the kool aid man turn me on.

[Scipio]

Monica Bellucci.

Most definitely, on both counts.  Especially Megan Mullally when Will & Grace was on.  Damn. But those shows were, like, 10 years ago.

Dana Delaney is in her mid-50s now; definite Cougar-quality.

[Malthus]

Reminds me of that Futurama joke about how biologists, concerned about all the bad jokes made about the Puma concolor, have officially renamed the species the "wild mountain MILF".

What's the difference between MILFs and Cougars? Where's the boundary? Is a 50 year old a MILF? Or is a 30-something? In which case, since I'm 45, I call them pretty young things with children.

A MILF is an attractive older woman.  A cougar is an older woman who likes to dress and act young and fuck younger guys.  A cougar doesn't have to be attractive and usually isn't.

I've always taken cougar to be a subset of MILF, but you may be technically correct.

Technically?

So what's the cutoff age  for "older"...30? 35? 40?

Beats me.

When I think of MILFs I think of women who look distinctly middle-aged and mommy-ish but still attractive.  So in my book that tosses out people like Jennifer Anniston.  It probably also tosses out people like Catherine Deneuve and Michelle Pfeiffer, now that I think about it.

Another one to throw on the pile: the mom in Breaking Away, which is in rotation on cable now.  Dustin Hoffman's fuck buddy in Mrs. Robinson is probably the ur-MILF.

[Barrister]

ur-MILF.

The character though is of course named Mrs. Robinson - the movie is The Graduate.

The best kind of correct!

You have the heart of a bureaucrat.

Bah.

I second Blythe Danner.  Very MILFy in Meet the Fuckers.
