I think it was 8-9 years ago, but I know it began in Canada, and made its way here right around the Demi/Ashton meeting. AND all older women who want to look on the outside like how they FEEL on the outside, are not cougars by any means, so I don't see how having Botox and other things can make a woman this....sheeesh. Plus, I am 62 and my man is 42 and I am by no means a cougar.
You know, some people compare age only. To me that's never a good indicator, whether the difference goes up or down. I can find some men 20 years older than I am attractive and I can also find some men 20 years younger than I am attractive. However, somebody just being 20 years younger means absolutely nothing to me! I still wouldn't want to touch him, even if the feeling happens to be mutual.

Okay, I really don't think a 9-year age difference, with both of you being middle-aged, qualifies as an "older" anything.

Curious: if you went out with a woman who was 9 years younger than you -- age 32 -- would you consider her someone looking for a "daddy" or "older man"?

No to your question. I know this 21 year old college student that likes to date older men. Her last boyfriend was 34. She likes me but I won't date her bc of her age; even though her body is off the charts and she is beautiful. She has a good relationship with her father so she is definitely not looking for a daddy.

I know a few young ladies in their early 20s that like to date guys whom are in their 30s and these young ladies aren't looking for daddies. No more so than a man in his early 30s that likes to date women whom are mid 40s is looking for a mommy.

Then surely, a 50-year-old woman dating a 41-year-old man isn't a "cougar"?

I'm not insulting any 40something men (I'm a 44-year-old woman), but when we think "couger" (if we do...ugh, dumb term), it's usually a hot young plaything, a boy toy, with a very experienced, significantly older woman. And although certainly men in their 40s can be attractive (if they keep neat and in shape), a 40something is in no way a "boytoy". Sorry, just....no. I can't see a 41-year-old staring adoringly at the woman who "knows what she's doing" -- if so, then he's not a toy...he's someone who's been locked under a rock for the last 41 years. And sorry, but...that's not sexy.

Two people in their middle years dating, with a 9-year age difference either way, couldn't possibly constitute an interest in "older" or "younger" people. Now if the guy were 30 and the woman were 55... (I consider guys up to their early 30s, at least some guys, to still be eligible for the title "boy toy," at least to some 50+ woman out there.)

That makes sense.

Most guys don't even use the term cougar as much as we now use the term MILF. For me, a woman that is in her mid to upper 40s or even into her 50s or 60s could be considered a MILF if I want to do her. I have a thing for women in the mid to late 40s age range but a number are so hesitant to do anything with me like the one at my gym bc they think that I just want to have sex with them and nothing more; like the one at my gym. And I do want to have sex with them but we can also hang.

That's another good point...ironically, the only people who seem to use the word "cougar" are older people! I've never heard "cougar" out of the mouth of a 20something male.

I have heard MILF quite a few times.

Have you tried just being friends with her? Casual conversation, no sexual innuendos, no flirting? If she'll let you, start there!

Same here. Puritanical boredom is for the birds.

The poster was saying that the woman he's interested in, won't give him the time of day because she's afraid he wants her just for sex...(shrug)

I wouldn't call this advice in this case puritanical boredom...but if *you* would...then you obviously don't know me very well, Sierra!
