COUGAR KATIE MUST TRADE BOYS FOR MEN!

Fears lovelorn Holmes can’t find happiness by robbing the cradle

- 

UNLUCKY-IN-LOVE Katie Holmes is desperately seeking a real man who can be a stable figure in her life, according to pals who’ve warned she’s not likely to find Prince Charming if she keeps playing in the kiddie dating pool!

“Katie just turns her nose up when her friends try to set her up with sensible older men,” a source spilled. “She seems to have wasted a lot of years in Tom Cruise’s shadow — and may want to feel like the ingenue she was before they got together.”

The former “Dawson’s Creek” cutie, 43, is approaching the ten-year anniversary of her June 2012 split with Cruise. Yet she’s had nothing but bad luck with men since their divorce, spies snitched.
