Sharon compares her love life to a desert — and says the best thing about getting older is that she gets to be a cougar!

Between being a mom to her three boys and juggling her career as an actress, Sharon Stone definitely has plenty on her plate. And according to the divorced Basic Instinct star, the last thing she’s worried about is finding a man to make her happy!

“Life and love is like the ocean. Sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out, and sometimes it’s like the frigging Mojave,” Sharon, 52, says in the June issue of More magazine, admitting that her current love life is non-existent. “For me? It’s Mojave! Fortunately, I like the desert. I’m a desert flower.”

Sharon, it seems, is a flower that appeals to younger men — she says she’s solved the mystery behind being a ‘cougar.’

“I really get pursued by men in their twenties, like, a lot,” she says, explaining, “They probably know there’s food in the fridge and that somebody’s there to talk to them and ask them how their day was.”

Or they just think you’re super hot! Seriously, Sharon — we want to take lessons in aging gracefully from you. You look fabulous!
