Well, I don't necessarily fit the strict definition of cougar since I only range about 10-12 years younger than myself, and can only speak for myself but it's basically two factors. The first one is that it's the men a decade younger than me that are asking me out. The second is that not only are men my age not asking me out, but they couldn't keep up with me anyway.

So that's why for me

LOL...in my group of friends it's their wives that are more like that than the guys.

I don't entirely agree with this. Seems like everywhere you look, there are images of men who are in great shape, sporting 6-packs and huge biceps. Now I know what it's like for women to be constantly bombarded with images of perfect-looking women and what it does to your self-esteem. But I hope you're right about the dating advantage that being in shape confers on men as they get older. I'm in my mid 30s and while I don't yet have the washboard abs, I do have the V-shape which I only recently learned women find attractive.
Oh, I AM right.
I lost 40lbs and my dating options were like night and day...not to mention getting hit on and flirted with.
Certainly, there are a wide range of women out there so there is no one absolute. Women are generally less visual than men so being in shape isn't critical but really...a lot of guys around 40 are just pretty unfit so if you are in shape you get bonus points from a lot of ladies.

Right on MG! I'd prefer someone in my age range (38-50). I'm really not pursuing it all that much however, because I'm busy doing things with my friends; I always feel it's better to have introductions or meet through a similar interest. My bf keeps me busy the rest of the time.

I like to hunt for young boys. So much enthusiasm without the emotional baggage. And they do like to please!

Default Ill do my part!

Men run out or low on testosterone a lot sooner than the women run out of there panties. lol theses women that have been 20-30 or more years with the desires still and lying about it then i come along tehy make a few suggestive comments. and i say hey Im your man. The sex is incredible not to mention all the alms and praise you get from them. @ yrs ago one of the 74 yr ladies i was taking care of asked me if i would mind coming over that weekend for a little get together and asked if i would bring some of my stripper outfits so i agreed. I knew something was up. but she had been telling 8 of her mostly widow friends. and they wanted to see and meet me. then Mrs diana said Do you think u could mow there lawns too. i said everybody? she sadi well not right this second! she sadi but after you do your strip tease in a little bit do you think maybe 3 or 4? I never know what to expect from her. then she winked and said who knows u might surprise yourself.! She said they are gonna see if u can. Moderator cut: Not pG-13 now the youngest was probably 65 up to 78 and Church Ladies. but they were total freaks. the kept me going for hours and it was albeit tiring it is something imprinted in my brain ill never forget. not one detail! hope she finds us another group meeting !!! Im gonna bring backup from the gym.

So if these ladies have this much libido, and desire then while i got it i am gonna take care of as many as they want.

Default Cougars

A cougar defined as a woman whom dates/sleeps with men 20 years younger then themselves.

How do you feel about them?

Personally I have a problem with male or female whom do this. And the larger the age difference the more disturbing it becomes.

I think as long as it doesn't hurt anyone (noone is cheating on anyone, and noone is under 18), it's no big deal. Seems to be working for Demi and Ashton

I think people should sleep with whomever they like. Sex is not such a big deal. Everyone does it.

From the perspective of a younger man (late 20s) I think it's a great diversion and very fun. However, few would push forth to pursue a committed relationship with a cougar, which is more problematic for the cougar, as many of them are internally seeking relationship-redeeming qualities that they were not able to satisfy when they departed their previous relationship (the majority are largely recently-divorced or in distant open marriages).

But they are a great equalizer for the college crowd and new to the workforce males, particularly in light of the fact most 20 something women still suffer from "golden vagina syndrome", where they believe that the world is at their becking call by simple virtue of being under 30 and having a vagina. Cougars have in the last decade successfully entrenched themselves in the territory once cornered by 20 some women, and they don't like it. Remember, for 20 something men, sex is about mere release, once you afford these men that release there's no leverage for 20 something women. For that reason alone cougars are a great social equalizer. By the time the 30s roll along, women are in survivor mode, pouncing and impregnating themselves on the first disease-free male that hasn't been cornered yet, the inverse pyramid rule I call it.
