Cougar Dating

Cougars no longer seen as taboo

As women get older it makes sense that they younger, more attractive gents will catch their eye. It used to be a taboo for a woman to date a younger man, despite men dating younger women, but now that has changed with many men wanting to find a cougar for themselves. Sean Wood, Communications Director at Cupid Plc who conducted the research from BeNaughty.com, says, “In today’s dating world, age is really just a number. It has always been readily accepted when men date younger women, so why should it be any different the other way round?” Surprisingly, 84 per cent of women feel that it’s perfectly acceptable for women to date younger men if they so please. To add to that, nearly six in ten women said that they themselves find younger men attractive and this was seen especially in women over 50. Over eight in ten men said that they find the older woman attractive and would have no problem with dating one. http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/relationships/cougars-no-longer-seen-as-taboo-290172.html

Got MILF? Billboard for cougar dating site fails to make breastfeeding sexy

For some men and women, the image of a new mother breastfeeding appears beautiful, wholesome. For others it's discomforting. And for some it's apparently a complete turn-on. At least, that's what Cougar Life seems to think. Once again the dating service has steered the attention of L.A. drivers from the road to another classy billboard, this time featuring a young mother nursing her baby. The newborn asks, via a word bubble, "Jealous?" Well, are you? It seems many cubs may be, as the website boasts more than four million members. Sign-ups have also nearly tripled since Monday, when the billboard went up. Timed (in)appropriately with Mother's Day, the billboard sits on Sunset Boulevard "in the family friendly neighborhood near Sherbourne Street," according to a release. So why the placement? The 90069 West Hollywood zip code "is home to the most cougars in America per capita," says Cougar Life. http://laist.com/2013/05/14/billboard_for_cougar_dating_site.php

Why older women are dating younger men

When it comes to the dating game, Mrs Robinson is not only alive and kicking, but she is and more self-confident than ever before, according to the actress Helen McCrory. Women of a certain age are keeping their looks and still feel attractive, she said. In her latest film, Flying Blind, the 44-year-old actress plays an older woman in love with a younger man. And she believes that the present fascination with the topic is a case of art imitating life. Married for five years to Homeland actor Damian Lewis, McCrory claims that the rise of the so-called “cougar” — named after the US sitcom Cougar Town, featuring a divorcee in search of love — has been fuelled by changing attitudes. http://gulfnews.com/about-gulf-news/al-nisr-portfolio/tabloid-on-saturday/helen-mccrory-on-why-older-women-are-dating-younger-men-1.1180181

Age is no bar in dating

Ever since Anne Bancroft seemingly raised her jawdroppingly taut leg as Mrs Robinson in the brilliant coming of age flick The Graduate, the older woman syndrome has caught the fancy of almost every other man. And when men like Richard Gere and George Clooney make women weak in the knees as they age, one can’t help wonder what is it about dating someone markedly older than one’s age range that seems so alluring. The X-Factor gives you seven reasons on why dating an older man or woman is a good option. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/lifestyle/relationship/age-no-bar-dating-867

Teenage cougars? Prom trend sees girls taking younger boys as dates

Bringing a date from a lower grade level to prom is a ritual almost as old as the dance itself. Guys have long been asking sophomore and junior girls to prom, and because 1950s-style dating customs are no longer in fashion, girls also ask whoever they want to prom -- regardless of their age. But recently, the trend of girls asking younger guys to prom has made national headlines. In a New York Times article, one writer claimed that her daughter forced her to ask herself a troubling question: "Can a 16-year-old be a cougar?" The mother explains that in her prom days (her date was both taller and older than her), she never would have considered taking a younger date. Now, she finds the fact that her daughter and her daughter's friends are taking a younger men to prom unsettling. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/30/teenage-cougars-prom-tren_n_1555709.html

Most readers go easy on the cougar

If The Cougar Fits is the 44-year-old who’s getting divorced and interested in dating guys in their 20s. She doesn’t want a serious relationship with them or sex. I gave her my opinion. Here are yours: LISA: Her husband was controlling and immature, and she thinks she’s going to have better luck with guys in their 20s? Oh, wait, I see! She just wants to go out with these hot young things as an ego boost. JANET: She deserves credit for being honest and telling them at the outset that she’s not going to have sex, rather than hooking them by flirting and making them think they have a chance. Any young man (or older man for that matter) who would dump her for not sleeping with him is no great loss. JENA: What’s wrong with simply wanting to date and not get serious? People do that, you know. When I met my husband, I was in my early 30s, and he was 10 years younger. I wasn’t sexually experienced and didn’t sleep around. Neither did he, and we didn’t become intimate until we had fallen in love. http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/lavin/12303099-452/most-readers-go-easy-on-the-cougar.html

The cougar bites back

We recently heard from If the Cougar Fits. She’s the 44-year-old who’s divorcing her “immature” husband. Her oldest child is 17. She’s been hanging out with twentysomething guys who’d like to be more than friends, and she’s enjoying the attention. “I’m discovering the girl I used to be. It almost feels like I’m picking up where I left off, at age 25, to get married.” She doesn’t expect “a serious, long-term relationship” and told them there wouldn’t be any sex. “I didn’t sleep around when I was 20, and I have no intentions of starting now.” But she was interested in dating them and wanted my opinion. Well, I admit, my response was kind of snarky. I told her I was curious where she found a group of hot young guys who didn’t want sex. http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/lavin/12302910-452/the-cougar-bites-back.html

Disneyland sighting sets off cougar alert

Now that Tyra Banks is a Harvard University graduate, and rumored to be single (what ever happened to that Wall Street cutie she was dating?), she appears to be taking some time to hang out with Drake. Yes, Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi. A fan posted a photo of the two on DrizzyDrake.org last week, saying it was snapped while they were on a date at Disneyland in California. According to the Daily Mail, the two shared a laugh at Yogurtland, which is said to be one of Banks’ favorite yogurt spots. If all as it seems, we think the two make a cute couple. But the big elephant in the room is the 13 year age difference between the former supermodel and rapper. We’re not mad at all if the 38-year-old media mogul wants to get her cougar on with a 25-year-old rapper. http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/2012-05-07/tyra-banks-and-drake-disneyland-sighting-sets-off-cougar-alert/
