I know I am not the only person who finds Shia LaBeouf cute, but am I the only one who feels like a cougar for saying it? Suddenly I’m old enough to feel a little sleazy about checking out younger men. When did that happen?

During an IM exchange with B. the other morning, I joked that in my undersexed, hormone-induced frenzy, I was going to start attacking men on the subway:

[11:36] Cari: “Brooklyn girl sexually assaults men on subway”…news at 11
[11:40] B.: “Men oddly don’t seem to mind, update at 12″
[11:43] Cari: “Increase in number of men riding subway, update at 1″
[11:43] B.: “Woman sent to hospital due to permanent smile, more at 5″
[11:46] Cari: “Decrease in number of men riding subway, increase in visitors to local hospital, special report at 7.”

Later, P.’s response to my idea was:

[16:16] P.: i think you should
[16:16] P.: just start grabbing crotches
[16:17] P.: “what do you think about THIS?!”

In a nutshell, guys seem to really like the idea of being violated by strange women on the subway.
