young women in their late teens to mid-20's who seek relationships with emotionally immature (typically leftist) men in their mid-30's. differ from gold diggers in that they seek out such relationships not for money but out of awe of a perceived intellect and stability. the men reciprocate these relationships because younger women tend to be more easygoing and forgiving with regards to their emotional immaturity. oftentimes these young women interpret the relationships as predatory later in life, though the degree to which their male partners intended harm varies. inspired by kristen roupenian's short story "cat person".
