Unless you've been living under a rock, I think we can all agree that MILFs are having a moment right now. Not since Stifler's mum made us realise she's 'got it going on' has the idea of older women locking lips with younger men been so on trend. From Nicole Kidman dry-humping Zac Efron in A Family Affair and asking her younger intern to be her 'dom' in Babygirl, to Anne Hathaway going full cougar in The Idea of You, the trope of older women romancing younger men is undeniably in vogue.

Women everywhere are lowering the age filters on their dating apps and diving headfirst into mischief with baby-faced studs. But let's get real for a moment - this phase? Not for me. Nope. Never. If I'm being completely honest, it's always given me the ick.

Dating men in their 20s when I was in my 20s was already enough of a lesson. Spoiler alert: they're adorably clueless. No offense, but they're fumbling through life, still figuring out laundry, surviving on Lynx Africa, and saving pennies for Bali 'lads trips'. As they should be.

If he can't grow a full beard, he's too young for you, Mum. From Nicole Kidman dry-humping Zac Efron in A Family Affair to asking her younger intern to be her 'dom' in Babygirl (pictured), the trope of older women romancing younger men is undeniably in vogue.

Yet, I get it, this trend does seem glamorous, particularly for women reclaiming their youth (usually post-divorce). But is it worth it?. I've seen the other side of these affairs - the young men giving up their wild 'lads, lads, lads' years, shackled by commitments they weren't ready for, and the older women hoping these lads can play the part of mature partners. It seems disturbingly unfair.
