muck Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I was listening to NFL sirius radio tonight and heard an ad for "cougar life DOT com" ... some sort of website matching older women with younger men. I'm sorry if I sound a bit prudish, but the whole idea of having to warn my boys to avoid floozies their own age ... AND ... avoide floozies 15yrs their senior seems a bit overwhelming. Besides, to hear a 40-something woman refer to herself as a cougar seems a little bizarre to me. What's the story behind the whole "cougar" thing? What do you guys think about middle-aged single women who think about themselves in terms of sexual conquests over younger men and affiliate themselves with others who think about younger men in a similar fashion?

And perhaps this may shed some light... Hmm, I was told a few years back that it was, in part, due to the prevalence of animal prints in said womens' wardrobes, in addition to being "on the hunt."

muck Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Regardless, I think it's a wholly unappealing thing to hear a woman refer to herself as a cougar. It's really no different than hearing a woman say 'I am a slut,' is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I always heard the on the prowl theory good luck "warning" your boys about floozies gawd bless those cougars - chit we all love the younger chicks, let them old broads have some fun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Bless my mom's heart. Because Dad was gone she got to try to tell me about the facts of life. The only thing I remember was the following advice: "Don't ever fool around with married women or older women." She was pretty much right.

Square Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm sorry if I sound a bit very prudish, but the whole idea of having to warn my boys to avoid floozies their own age ... AND ... avoide floozies 15yrs their senior seems a bit overwhelming. Yea, guys have it rough. Especially when women get aggressive and go after them. I don't know how they'll make it. good luck "warning" your boys about floozies gawd bless those cougars - chit we all love the younger chicks, let them old broads have some fun too +1 While "true cougars" may not refer to themselves as one, I have heard more than a few women refer to themselves (or their friends) as cougars. Seriously though. When some of the women get older, I think they just know what they like/want so they don't mess around (or play stupid games like some of the younger females). That may seem like it's more of a "hunt" but I say do whatever works. And some dudes like cougars. I have a few friends that ended up marrying older chicks. Granted we gave them poopy for being trapped by a cougar. But who really cares if they like the chick and she isn't crazy (well at least less than average).

Dr. Sacrebleu Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 While "true cougars" may not refer to themselves as one, I have heard more than a few women refer to themselves (or their friends) as cougars. :blech: meh. It's kind of the embracing of the term fag by the gay community, or N word by the black community. Terms that were coined to be derogatory to a certain group that the group then used to empower themselves (boy do I hate the term 'empower', just cant come up with anything else right now)> Really, though a 45 year old woman trying to skank on a 24year old guy seems frankly a lot less creepy to me than when the genders are reversed. JMO>>>> Not that I am a big fan of either one though. BTW my brother and I were trying to define 'inapropriate' in a relationship age wise. This is what we came up with: Let X=age of skanker Let Y=age of skanky Y<1/2X+3.5yrs = Skanky Situation Any thoughts on our variable?
