Define a cougar

I still stand by what I say.


This is like debating what's "fat" and what's "thick".

 

Hello, my name is Athena and I am a cougar.

 

Hello, my name is Tarshi and I am a cougar as well

 

Hellooo, Athena.

 

For you, my dear, Athena:

 

Some times the age really is nothing more than a number, it has nothing to do with maturity. But you weren't seeking it out, so I wouldn't classify you as a cougar.

 

I guess I'm a cub....

Edit: I'm a "cub" (a baby cougar) cause I'm not a full blown cougar.

 

You have probably heard the term cougar woman a lot in the media, but have you ever wondered what makes a woman a cougar? Well, the first thing to know is that cougar is not a derogatory word. Women who are referred to as cougars are named after the wild cat and exhibit some of the cats strengths, such as power, beauty and success. Cougar women know what they want and aren't afraid to go out and get it. Here is a checklist of what makes a woman a cougar - hey you could be one yourself!
1. A cougar woman is over 35 years old.
2. A cougar woman is attracted to younger men. These men (or cubs) are usually 10 years or more younger and exhibit qualities such as good looks and a fun and exciting personality.
3. Cougar women are predatory in their flirting techniques. They are not worried about approaching men and are great flirts. They enjoy male attention and know what to do to get it.
4. Cougar women take care of themselves. They value their looks and do what is necessary to maintain them. For some this means regular gym workouts or pilates classes. Others may spend money on nice clothes, make up and expensive hair styles. For some cougars plastic surgery is the answer and they may invest in a breast augmentation or a lift here or there.
5. Cougar women exude confidence. This shines through in the way they walk, talk, flirt and generally enjoy life.
6. Cougar women are often successful in work and life. They are usually quite well off and enjoy treating their younger dates. These women are a joy to be around as they tend to be so much less stressful than younger girls, who can be insecure in their looks and life path.

So what makes a woman a cougar? Well, a combination of some or all of the qualities listed above. You can see why so many young men are falling over themselves to date one of the women. Whether it be a casual fling (JenniferAniston and John Mayer), or serious relationship (think Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore) cougar relationships are a whole lot of fun.

The male version of a Cougar is a Sugar Daddy.

 

But a Sugar Daddy is some one, who finances the young girls, exchange of sex against money- the only reason why they stay with him..if it is as you say...then a cougar is definitly not a compliment..and it is seen as here in Europe

 

Just what I was about to point out. Thanks Christine!

 

Lady I do what I can, as soon as I understand, what you guys are talking about!!

 

IMO there is a difference between a cougar and just a woman dating a younger man.

A cougar is an old woman who dates younger men to make herself feel younger again...a woman going through a midlife crisis. This is exactly the same as an older man buying a sports car, etc.

An older woman who likes younger men is just that. An older woman that likes younger men. This is a woman that has a genuine interest in the younger man she is dating, and despite the age difference, has some things in common (besides sex) with said younger man.

this is MY personal definition of a cougar...others may be different. And by the way...the same definition applies to whatever the male equivalent is called.
