| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 10:55:34 AM | | I am sorry when I answered this question, I thought it was serious. I didn't realize that you were advertising that you wanted little boys. My bad. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 11:03:00 AM | What will people think if we start dating and should it matter? Who cares, and no.
I told my friend about him and how we shared alot of common interests and she made me feel insecure with that one comment. Common interests are all that matters, and your friend is jealous.
I have never dated younger men than me so Im a little worried now. Don't worry, be happy! Go for it!
Oh please, you are hanging out in a sports bar after being stood up...what hangs out there? 20 - 30 something guys. Why are you shocked one approached you? How many other 40 yo women were in there...or women in general? You just got stood up, so you were probably looking sad and pissed off. You were probably one of the only women in there so you were an easy target for a pick up. Sorry, it's true. Now go on and fvck him and when he doesn't text you back in a few days, come post back about your experience. If you go out more than once, it will be a fvck buddy situation since he doesn't want his friends to know about you. Meow. Mew. 
Guess you never heard of Buzztime trivia. It's a fun thing to do. Buzztime sites are predominantly in sports bars. Ohio is a big time Buzztime state. For ladies, it's an easy way to meet intelligent guys. | |

If the situation were reversed, nobody would call the man a cougar. Well, of course they wouldn’t. They'd be calling him a "manther".  | |

I asked him how old he was (I would have guessed early-mid 30's). He told me 27. It caught me off guard needless to say. He acted much older and seemed very mature and grounded. Ok. So, you had a 1 1/2 hr conversation with a 27 yr old, and didn't find a whole lot of differences between you two. So what?
Can't find someone closer to your own age you'd have more in common with?
You're not the only one on earth who can boink someone a decade or more younger.
Is it him you're really interested in, or the novelty that a much younger guy doesn't seem to mind the age disparity?
BTW, what would you do if you met a man your own age that you developed feelings for, only to find out that he dated a 27 yr old girl? Just curious... | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 12:09:24 PM | I dont' think people will even notice. Have an enjoyable time! My ex wife was 9 years older than me. It was all good.

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 12:47:38 PM | | WAY TO GO! He is over the legal age, probally has some kind of path in life and a job. Just see where it goes. The problem I see with older women dating younger guys is a lot of older women are set on their ways. But if you have much in common and can talk about everything...way to go. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 4:43:50 PM | Don't worry what other people think.
Age is nothing but a # and the girls who do say negative things about it only could wish a younger man who is mature and good looking would be attracted to them. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/4/2009 9:04:38 PM | If you've made a connection, who cares? It seems a lot of folks have nothing better to do with their time than second-guess and over-analyze someone else's choices. If he's 50 and she's 25, who cares? Likewise, if the woman is the much older one. It's frankly, no one else's business.
When I first signed up on this site, I had my age preferences set from 21 to 50. Heavily skewed in favor of the young, but my personal experience has been that I don't connect romantically with men who are much older than I am. I quickly learned that 24 was too young for me, but that 35 was perfect! But again, a lot of this comes down to the individual. Don't let a catty friend rain on your parade! | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 12:14:13 PM | NO it doesn't. Once you reach the 30 and older age brackett you are pretty much on the same playing field. Age is relative to the person's back ground and life experiences. Remember men at 18 fight and die for our country, men at 30 run billion dollar businesses, many have had children and been married. Some however can't move out from mommas house. So it is all depending on the man or the woman, NOT the AGE.

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 12:47:45 PM | A cougar hunts... goes out to snag a youngun.
A milf or mature woman is pursued. OP... you rock, he thought you were IT and it sounds like you think the same. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 1:01:40 PM | Albert Einstein was 24 when he published his Theory of Relativity. You're not a Cougar any more than Mohammad 's wife was when he was in his 20's and she in her late 40's It's about something. But usually that something else isn't covered here. Just look deeply enough into his character so after a month or so you don't feel foolishly embarrassed and used. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 3:04:18 PM | | My take on it? Have a nice time. You met in a perfectly decent way, made a little connection, why not enjoy spending more time together? | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 3:22:01 PM | No more than it makes guys who date younger women Hugh Heffner. I refer to him because I don't know of any animal that is old, homely, takes pills to keep it up, has a lot of money because that's the only way he can get gorgeous young females, and has them come to him. Oh, wait! Old lions...nah, they still look good.
Go for it...men have been doing it for centuries and no one says a thing. Personally, I despise double standards. If you like him, and he likes you, have fun!  | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 4:36:37 PM | Eat him up.
Chew him up.
Spit him out.
You bad woman, you.
hahahahaha.
Just kidding.
In all reality, he approached you. Not the other way around.
Now who do I call about a large feline attacking young men in bars..
:P | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/5/2009 8:46:00 PM | | I think you should go with what you feel if you like and have feelings for this guy you should go for it. I do not think you should care about what people think about you. What will people think if we start dating and should it matter? Let people think what they think. It does not matter what they think it matters what you think and feel. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/6/2009 2:27:04 AM | | I have a female best friend and her fiance is 19 years younger than her. My own grandmother was ten years older than my grandfather and they lived a full happy life together. Its not about age its about connecting with another soul on a higher level of consciousness. Age is immaterial...... love is eternal. | |

| Does this make me a cougar? Posted: 10/6/2009 5:10:39 AM | "I was at a sports bar playing trivia after getting stood up. After playing for about 1 1/2 hours a man came over and asked my name. He then introduced himself. I asked him to sit down and we talked for over an hour and laughed freely. I was very comfortable. Never once did he talk about sex or anything taboo. Anyway, right when I was getting ready to leave I asked him how old he was (I would have guessed early-mid 30's). He told me 27. It caught me off guard needless to say. He acted much older and seemed very mature and grounded. He was there with his softball team and had noticed me when I first walked in. He let them all leave before he came over. Neither of us had any alcohol. Im 39 almost 40. We have talked several times since and are planning on going out Wednesday. But now I feel funny because of what my friend said. What will people think if we start dating and should it matter? I told my friend about him and how we shared alot of common interests and she made me feel insecure with that one comment. I have never dated younger men than me so Im a little worried now." ------------------ If you have to ask here, then yes - you're a cougar. Although 27 is young but not THAT young, but you might want to ask yourself how much future there is. | |
