Dating Definition: cougar
Function: noun
Definition: A woman aged 40 years or old who preys on younger men. During a hunt, she can often be spotted by her leopard print outfit, which makes her feel and look younger.
Example: “Sweet, look at all the cougars at this bar. Looks like we’ll be getting our drinks bought for us tonight.”
Background: The name “cougar” was used because it was associated with the leopard print clothing that was popular among these women to help them feel young. My definition of cougar places the age of the woman starting at 40. I disagree with definitions that state cougars are 35+ because it seems arbitrary. Statistically, the risk of pregnancy complications significantly increases at age 35, however, culturally that age is not very significant. However, age 40 is recognized as “over the hill” and therefore many people have their midlife crisis then. Therefore, major shifts in a person’s own identity occurs so to maintain a sense of their youthfulness, cougars will have plastic surgery, get Botox injections, and wear provocative clothing.

I’d like to get you guys comments. Mind you this site is humorous, so I hope nobody gets offended. But please check it out.

Wow. The cougar concept is news to me.
Most 40+ women I know are being pursued online by younger men who say the girls their age only want marriage-family-material trimmings. They desire an older woman who has experienced and transcended those phases and derives more satisfaction in creating a deeper connection.
Do you understand the attraction?
