a cougar is the term used to describe an older woman on the prowl, or looking to have a good time. a stag or stallion is the term used to describe men ...who are available and looking to have a good time

i think these terms are praiseworthy as opposed to diminuitive, but symantics are a matter of relative perspective...cougars, stallions, we're all part of the big picture

A cougar by most definitions is a women close to or in her 40 who like a wild animal preys on younger men. Don't be flattered if someone calls you a cougar.

How exactly does someone prey on another person??? Perhaps two people feel an attraction and then take it from there. I see that you are willing to date up until 42, then can we say that this man would be preying on you.

Good morning. Just for a giggle I went back to the original Cougar dating site. I was a charter member of it, when it made some difference to me about age. I could still log in so I took a look around at how many "victims" there were. In the male 19 to 30 category alone:

your search request shows 5875 results


Actually, the people on that site interacted very much like the people on here do and we did things in parties and events. It was my experience that the men on the site were the ones doing the hunting. No one had to hold a gun to their heads to get them to sign up. So it isn't like they were being stalked. The core group is still in touch through another site. I'm not active in it anymore but still hear from them.

Easily , one half of the men I spend time with are younger than me. It has nothing to do with years. It is more the fact that we don't judge people by age, but rather by what we bring to each others lives. As for the "pick 'em up in bars thing......I think that may have as much to with the atmosphere, the alcohol and who is available for attention at the time. Not something I do. I get myself into enough trouble on here and besides

"what's age got to do.... got to do with it?" she sings in her best Tina voice.

ps My late husband was 13 years younger and no one dragged him to the alter

I have no problem with men or women for that matter dating younger. I guess what irks me is the "age dont matter" quote, if your a 34 women dating a 22 year old men you have to bring yourself down to there maturity level. yes, i know, there are some mature 22 year olds, but im saying most of them are not. same goes the other way if your a older man dating a younger women. I dont care how mature you think a 20-25 year old is......not gonna be as mature as a 32-36 year old. I think its mostly done to "brag" that your pulling younger men. And mostly done for sex. I know im going to a million stories of how older women have been with younger men, im just saying IN GENERAL it usually doesnt work. Im a 34 year old man, hell give me a 21 female to be with, hell yea, i wouldnt complain either. If i want a RELATIONSHIP and want it to be real, give me a 35 year old female that is grounded and has been thru life ...my two cents

There is nothing wrong with older women dating younger men. Men have done it for decades.
Couger has become a bad word almost in some peoples eyes, not sure why?
Ladies just do what you want and dont listen to any negative comments.
Best of luck

I don't get women who are offended by being called a cougar; I saw one woman on here in a thread who was happy to be called "MILF" yet offended to be called a cougar. I was wondering if she knew what MILF is an acronym for.

But anyways, what's the big deal, so a woman aged 35-40 might like having sex with younger men; men that age love to have flings, as long as she doesn't lie and make out like she's looking for a long relationship, what's the big deal?

Look back at the comments from women and men. They are most often durogatory.
Does there have to be a name for any of it? Is it anyone's business what age men I am seeing? Younger men for me are men who have already been married and divorced. Most have their kids out the door and don't want any more. By the time they are my age, most of them are remarried. So it's slim pickens in my age group.

Also, according to more than half the profiles I read, all the men are under 49. How many men lock right up at the thought of having to put 50 something on their profiles?


I don't get women who are offended by being called a cougar;


See above

"In my opinion" If older women are going to date younger men , good on 'em. If you intend to develop a long term relationship.......give serious consideration to the fact that he may want children in the future. Do you?

As for the women who are labeling other women COUGARS......shame on you, you should support and encourage them. Do you consider them competition? Did your husband or boyfriend leave you for an "older" woman? I don't think so. Nuff said.

dont mean to beat a dead horse.....but if your a 35 man/women going out with a 23/25 year old guy/girl.....your not into for the relationship.....your in it for something else. Maybe its sex, Maybe its bragging, Maybe you want to be 21 again. I just dont want to hear that your out for older men/women cause its what your "attracted" to.....mabye so, but if you are , then your obvouisly not looking for a LTR, or your maturity level is that of a 21 year old.....which one?

let me add.....Im not a hater here, I have gone out with some one substantially younger than me, i knew that it wasnt because we were a good "couple"......she made me feel young, and the sex was great......so if your gonna write hate mail and bash me forget it......i will take a 21 year old any day of the week, its just not what im looking for right now. I want a relationship .......

^ a lot of sweeping generalizations going on here. Short of asking the person for id when he asks you out , you would know his age, on first contact, how?

Also, why does there have to be a motive/agenda other than company/companionship, involved in date?

Does it have to be sex or long term? No other relationship? Common interests n'est pas? Maybe we go fishing. Maybe the younger man I am with at the theatre enjoys ballet like I do.

to jewels76:

"Over-the-hill!?" HELLLL NO! 30 years-old is FAR from over-the-hill. Have more self-confidence, women who take good care of themselves can look just as good as twenty-somethings when they are 40. IMO, you need more self-confidence, you get upset when a 24 year-old calls you a "cougar" because you rejected him, what're you gonna do if you end up with some mean guy who gives you a really mean insult for turning him down.

I don't consider myself a "Cougar" ... I don't advertise for attention from younger men and as yet have only been out with 1 man younger than me, and he was only 7 years my junior. He took me out to dinner the other night ...
he's also my current roommate.

We have a relationship that involves sharing an apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms ... he has one of each and I have one of each. We get along great and respect each others' space. We're actually just really good friends, but he really did take me out to dinner. He has been a great help to me since moving to the Phoenix area a couple of weeks ago.

OT: I have been asked out by several younger gentlemen on this site ... I have no idea how much older I have to be than a man in order to qualify to be called a "Cougar", but I do have a few questions about it:

1. If I'm not the one doing the pursuing ... does that make me a "Cougar"?
2. What if it's the guys coming after me? What is the term for a guy who openly pursues somewhat older ladies?

Can someone help out here?

msg 293.Why would it matter what "other" people call what you do in your personal life?
Sheeeeeeeesh Is it important for people to have labels for each other's personal business? I have labels for "those" people "bored" "jealous" "busybodies".

Must be something more productive to do in society than find classifications for each other. Find kind encouraging things to say.

I need breakfast. I'm getting grumpy.

^^^^Thank you ... Tansi

That was the point of my post ... who cares what any of us do in our personal life? Who cares how old the people are we date? I'd much rather hear that people are dating happily than how old the folks are they are dating ... what the age difference is etc.

Why are we all so eager to place labels on things ... others' personal lives? Isn't there enough intolerance in the world already?

I am not a cougar.. I like men my age who look good and are open and alive. Finding men my age that look good and behave youthful (naturally)......
well that is the problem

You would not believe how many young guys are looking for older women.... I get hit on far more by younger men. Each time, I sigh and continue my original search for 1 good older man.

I don't want to be a cougar. Don't make me be a cougar.

Older women who have sex with younger males are referred to as "cougers" because that is the same way the feline (or large cat) couger inb nature mates (The female is always mating with a younger male and not the ther way around). She becomes fertile in her later years and seeks the more veril and active younger males whilst in heat.
There's your lesson of the day!

Ok..here it is right from the pages of an urban dictionary...

Cougar

A woman in her sexual prime who prefers to hunt rather than be hunted. A cougar's victims are usually under 25, as cougars prefer to mate with men who still have hair. Cougars generally feed and then continue hunting, as they enjoy role reversal.

Cougar

Any older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a usually much younger man. The cougar can be anyone from an overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim, an absolute sad and bloated old horn-meister, to a real hottie, or milf. Cougars are gaining in popularity ( particular the true hotties ), as young men not only a ****ing incredible sexual high, but many times a chick with her shit together.

I also read this on a web page a couple of weeks ago..

« Garland’s concert recreatedHas Superman’s real weakness been revealed? »


I saw a gaggle of cougars
Cougars in Vancouver?

I didn’t believe it either. But there we were dining out at a very nice restaurant the other night when my friend’s daughter asked me if I wanted to take a look at the cougars in the lounge.

Here I thought I was this hip-hop happening kind of old guy but apparently not.

Curious and just a tad apprehensive, we walked from our ocean-view table into the depths of the bar/lounge. We rounded a corner and there they were. Not just one cougar, but an entire gaggle of them!

Middle-aged women dressed in mini-skirts and low cut, tight fitting blouses. Each with a martini in hand and a chemically brilliant white smile beaming from beneath botoxed brows.

They laughed out loud — ha ha. They cruised the young men — how sad. They completely ignored me as I walked by — the ****es.

So for those of you not in the know about cougars, here’s the official poop:

Cougar (slang) - Wikipedia defines it as follows:

A cougar is a woman over forty who is sexually attracted to younger men, preferably in their early twenties. These women are referred to as cougars because they are thought to stalk their younger male prey like predators. The term originated in Canada, but has since spread to the United States. These women are generally very aware sexually, are attractive, look younger than their chronological age and prefer the pace they believe a younger man can give them in carnal activities.”

From the Urban Dictionary comes this definition:

“Cougar: Noun. A 35+ year old female who is on the “hunt” for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. “Man is cougar’s number one prey”

Millions of them. More famously, Demi and Ashton, Naomi Watts and Heath Ledger, Joan Collins and her hubby, Cameron and Justin, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins”

Thank you.

~OT~ I am not fond of labeling ~ under any circumstance. I'm no MILF and I'm no Cougar. I may be a willing participant with someone younger ~ but I by no means set out with fangs bared, claws sharpened, drooling at the mere thought of fresh meat. The funniest part of this entire thread ~ those younger men (at least the one's I've been fortunate enough to have in my life) found me. I didn't have to do any hunting, fishing or otherwise sniffing around.
