is it bad that I've had crushes on women who're 35-40?

Oh whew!!!

I thought you were 80

What's the male equivalent of cougar? Geezer?

Mrs. Robinson, the gold standard for older woman dating younger men, lost out to her daughter. Something for you cougars to keep in mind.

What's with the sudden anti-cougar thing? Who here said they were a cougar? I believe the OP is a YOUNG MAN who has crushes on older women, but somehow now it's all... eh, nevermind. Ya damn kids will never understand.

Put it like this, I think Jennifer Tilly is hot. She's the only 51 year old that I would say that for

And you know most of the girl's i've had interest in were older than me from cougars obviously to some being a few years older than me.

I can always smell a cougar coming. The air gets musty and the perfume is laid on thick, and obviously to cover up armpit funk.

Granted, I still talk to girls around my age, including an old flame whom I known most of my life, but the last one I thought I had a relationship with she blew our date, which I think I came here and asked advice for.

Still though, is it bad for me, 23, to check out women in that age range?

My old boyfriend is 26. I am 48. Appearance wise I look early 30's. When we first met, through my xbf of 8 years (also five years younger than me), I blew him off for a whole month. Finally, gave in. He chased me; I did not chase him. He was totally serious about having a relationship not just a roll in the hay. We were together for almost two years. He took me to every family event. I finally decided that while the relationship could definitely endure the test of time, he needs to go out & experience marriage & children (he would marry me in a NY minute but I'm not having any more babies). We will be close for the rest of our lives.

You just have to realize what you want out of a relationship with an older woman; it might just be fun at first but you must be prepared for the emotional aspect that comes from that relationship.
