Hi, first time posting.What it says in the title. For those who donĀ“t what Mrs.Robinson is basically an old woman who feels attracted to younger males. In other words a MILF.

I am aware that some people think the dirty old man will be the spear counterpart to this, but I do not agree. Mostly, because generally the dirty old man's relationship with the younger girl is not of mutual attraction and sometimes the girl is even clueless about the lust he has for her. In constrast, Mrs robinson and her young lover/boyfriend are mutually attrated to each other. Also, the dirty old man tends to be played for laughs and almost is punished for his bad behavior. Master roshi is a textbook example here. In contrast, a spear counterpart to Mrs. Robinson would be closer to a casanova or a charmer for who (usually) the young female protagonist falls in love ( or weel, "he is just hot"). I don't remember a specific example, but mostly some "love" stories about a female student being attracted to her male teacher that is portrayed in a "positive" way. At least until recently, this trope wasn't uncommon. And don't let me start to speak anime and manga or other Asian media like k-dramas. Because there is at least one example some of us can remember. Anyway, I hope for your cooperation and I am interested in hearing about your ideas. Let's have a tropers's talk!

I think in this case, the Spear Counterpart would just an Inverted or gender inverted Mrs. Robinson.
