What's With The Cougars?

I think they're hot. I wouldn't think twice having one night with those babes. I really don't know why they're so attractive but they are. They're also called MILF, just a heads up.

That's true. Cougars could now compete with younger ones, specially when it come to looks. They could be as young as they would like to project because of the many beautifying techniques that could make one woman past her prime, look young again. With them being already stable in life, they can afford to compete with younger ones, in getting boyfriends.

When I was 22 the word 'cougar' just related to a member of the cat family. And 'gay' meant happy and jolly or a girl's name. But when I was 22 I was under the influence of a woman of nearly 40 and she was gorgeous and taught me all I know of how to behave in bed and pleasure a woman. I wish all young me were lucky enough to get the same tuition as it would sort out a lot of problems in this country.

Thanks to you I finally understand what a cougar is Well, I see a cougar and a younger man every now and then and I guess it'slead th easy to understand why there is such a couple. An accomplished woman, I think, is very attractive -- more mature in thinking that there is no need to baby her. There are men who likes their women to take the lead in their relationship.

I say if the guys can handle being with a couge then more power to them. I think its the cougers confidence that has young guys attracted to them.

I think cougars relationship with youngster is good. It makes the woman feel happy and fulfilled. They young man in question is also very happy too because he enjoys a perfect relationship from a matured person and he also get some good money. It is nice for people who like to have it. If you do not feel comfortable then you can opt out.

Well if my mom was a cougar, I definitely bring my boyfriend back to other places.

I could not comfortably date anyone that is the same age as my son. I do think that women are taking much better care of themselves than years prior to now. They are becoming self suffcient and strong. They are taking control of their lives and choosing their paths. This is a good thing. I think that morals are still very important though. Of course taking a b/f or stealing a husband is unacceptable. I think there is something else to consider though. What is it that is drawing the young men to these women? I think there is also another consideration...these friends are not going to be young forever and it is a rude awakening. Over night it will seem they are no longer allowed to date the men they were once attracted too. If they are still single, they will have to change their tastes...or become the cougar..lol.

I don't know why I understand those kind of love affair, although I don't see myself in such a situation. If the woman is old enough to be his grandmother, I really cringed on that one and really don't believe that love is possible, especially if the woman really looks like a grandma already. There are a lot of cases like that in here and I have come to accept it as like that of any other relationship. Age doesn't matter much to me as long as there really is love. I don't even mind dating a man double my age if I'm attracted to him!

Marriages with a wide age gap have been happening for centuries. If I remember my history correctly, in ancient countries (in particular ancient Israel) girls as young as fourteen were married off to men in their thirties or forties. It doesn't surprise me to see this trend of young with old on the dating field. Young men with cougar women, and the reverse to - older men with younger women. For the sake of this discussion I will call these older men manthers, since that is the only term I am aware of that refers to them. There are quite a few factors which make dating cougars or manthers attractive to the younger crowd. Number one is the money factor. An older woman or man has cash typically. The awkward guy or gal from college that lives on ramen noodles does not. It's pretty obvious which is more financially attractive. The second factor is stability. An older person is past the hormones and first times of youth. They have experience and patterns. Teens however are having the famous teen issues, and a college person will be busy trying to cope with the harsh, or so called real world. All of this stress and rapid change is an elixir for awkward unbalance. Which sounds more pleasing to date: a stable person who already knows how to give you a good time, or a person who is trying to figure out life and how the game of romance works at the same time? Finally, some older men are more considerate and knowing then their younger counterparts - something us girls appreciate. Some older women can be more calm and less insecure than their younger counterparts - something I am sure the guys can appreciate. And if the manther or cougar is indeed still very attractive, it's a win-win for their younger partner. For the older crowd there is the benefit of a youthful partner in the prime of their good looks. Plus, younger man or woman usually have not yet been scarred and hardened by divorce. As for how I feel, I don't mind at all. If people want to date older people then that's their choice. The young men and women can complain all they want. These young and old couples aren't hurting anyone, so let them date. Besides, it may be for the better. The free dating of youth with any youth that we see in our culture today is a relatively recent thing in humanity's history, and if the divorce and break up rates are any indication, it's not working out so well for the majority. There are some cases with happy endings, but there are just as many if not more with tragic endings. I am what one would classify as a young woman. However I can admit that many in my age group (from what I have observed), lack the crucial life experience to make a wise choice regarding who to date - long or short term. Dating someone older can give us a taste of experience. We might also learn a thing or two. It also seems that a younger and older couple could get a lot further faster than a young and young couple that are trying to figure it out via trial and error. I'm not against young people dating young people. Those relationships can travel on the road of wellness too. However, I do think dating cougars and manthers has it's definite advantages.
