Cougars...

I'm curious as to what the overall opinion is on these wonderful women. What age actually classifies a woman as a "cougar"? (I would go with 35 & up). It is funny, but it seems as though I get more attention from these women then some of the younger females.

Personally, I love cougars and I'm fascinated by this creature that prays on us young and susceptible men.

 

Is it an age thing or a spread thing? What I'm asking is if there is a definite age when a woman becomes a cougar, or is it just an adequate number of years older than her typical lover?

Big fan, by the way. I've always gotten along much better with older women than I have women my own age or younger. In my case, I think it's a patience thing (specifically my lack of patience for stupidity, which seems to be a hallmark of younger women).

I never thought about it from the perspective of a spread....I would also argue that there is prime cougar age. Once she surpasses the age of say 50, its all down hill. Prime spread would be 35-45.

Soitwouldseem, I have more game then you could ever dream of. I just think its nice to mix it up a little. Also, roofies and buying shots don't count as game. FYI.

If you had all that game you wouldnt feel the need to tell me about it.

 

There is a certain age where complimenting a good looking woman is greeted with a thank you vs a nasty snarl. Once you start getting thank you's from women you are probably talking to cougars.

Unless said good looking woman wants you than u get a thank you

 
Edmundo Braverman:
The only reason I asked is that I was wondering how those hot 25-year old school teachers doing 14-year old dudes (lucky fuckers) were perceived. Seems like cougarific behavior to me, but that's just one man's opinion.

Those "lady fuckers" would be so bad ass if they didn't end up turning into HS/Community College dropouts with fathers 4 kids by the age of 19.

I'd say an 18-20 year old banging a 32 year old classifies as cougar behavior... so I'm with Edmundo on the spread classification.

ill share one cougar story. have i told this before? i forget.

anyway, im having after work drinks with a crowd of people from the office and were occupying a huge open booth in this midtown bar. its like 3/4 open so occasionally we have to share it with the other patrons. anyhow, im sitting there chatting with my coworkers and this older blond sits down and mingles. shes not like demi moore hot, but shes like drew barrymore cute. we start a conversation but it escalates quickly into a diatribe about her ex husband and her divorce. way too much information. i put a strained look on my face as my coworkers are starting to notice im getting undue attention from this woman. snickering ensues from the gallery. i politely try to get others involved in the conversation, but eventually its just me and the cougar again. she actually says to me "im trying to have a heart to heart conversation with you and youre trying to pass me off to your friends. thats not very nice". this catches me off guard and i do a serious back pedal. at this point its clear this cougar is hunting, but its also clear that shes a little naomi campbell-ish. what am i gonna do?

eventually my coworkers start leaving because we had decided earlier to have dinner afterward. its decision time. i linger around and pretend that the barkeep is taking too long to give me my tab. i convince my colleagues that its ok to go on ahead and that id meet them at the restaurant. it was just around the corner. by this time id already told the cougar id meet her outside in ten minutes, so shes no where around to arouse suspicion. its freezing cold and i figure if shes there when i get out what the heck, if shes not, im headed to dinner. i get outside after the coast is clear and shes just standing there waiting for me. i suggest we go back to her place. i hail a cab, let her in and she says some address off of CPW. turns out its the penthouse overlooking central park that she got in the divorce. this chic is rich. once inside she pours two glasses of wine and tells me shell be right back. she disappears for a bit and comes back to the living room in a fkg robe. you can guess what happens after this. but thats not even the end of the story. afterward she took me to the new york premier of a robert dinero movie. i kid you fkg not.

how can you not love cougars after that??

edit: i never heard from or saw this woman again.

 

Milf is just a hot mother, she isn't out trying to find younger men. Cougars are on the prowl for younger men and may or may not be a mother. So a MILF could be a cougar but isn't always. As far as age I'd have to agree with the spread. If the woman is anymore than 8-10 years older than the guy, definitely cougar behavior.

 

yeah right. your mom's best friend with 14 years age difference, your mom have you when she was 14 or what?

tell the story so you can prove you're not lying through your teeth

Names/some info have been obviously changed.

PussInBoots = my name Dori = name of my mom Presley = name of mom's best friend City X = where I've been living for past 4 years City Y = where Presley and Dori lived (60 miles away)

Part I. First impression. Sometime between freshman and sophomore year, summer of 2007. It was a hot summer day and my mom and I were preparing for a big move-in. The freshman year I lived in dorms, hence I didn't have to bring a lot of crap like tiny bed and crappy closet.

My mom's friend volunteered to help us. Dori was driving a truck with a bed and random stuff, while me and Presley were in her car taking smaller stuff. This was the second time I've seen Presley; I met her once mid my freshman year, but our conversation was very short:

"Hi Presley my name is PussInBoots, I've heard a lot about you" "Hi Puss, yes your mom told me about all of your accomplishments" Needless to say she made a strong impression: she was 5'10'' (I am 5'9''), about 140lbs, 33 years old (I was 19). She was wearing tight blue jeans and beige top. Her outfit was exposing her curves (borderline Ds).

During out trip, we talked about a bunch of random crap, no flirting, just a normal conversation between an adult and soon-to-be-monkey. I told her that she should visit City X: it's fun college town with a lot of random places and small restaurants. She liked the idea and said she'll think about it.

Part II. I said turn left! I don't remember whether Presley called/txted/e-mailed me, but she set-up a visit to City X (Saturday afternoon).

Obviously I wore my best that day: Gold Limited Edition K-Swiss, light green polo, and jeans. We strolled around campus, talking about life, finance, my experience in dorms, my problems, her problems, etc.

I didn't have my car back then, so she was driving me around. We were in downtown, I had said turn left, she turned right instead, hence the title.

Part III. Stuck in traffic. January 2008. I had to pick up my mom from an airport; Presley joined. This time I was driving my brand new car (woot woot). Traffic was horrible: we drove 5-10mph for a good 25-30 min. Again, talked about random crap. Out of nowhere this came up:

Presley: "Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day?" Me: "No, not really. V Day is still a month away" Presley: "Well, I've got nothing to do. Do you want to be my V date? As friends?" Me: "Sure, that should be fun."

When we were driving back, I flirted with her a bit, but nothing too heavy. I figured she was just really bored and joking about V Day. I had texted her few days before V Day, and found out that she was dead serious about our date.

Part IV. 27 Dresses. February 14th, 2008. I planned the whole evening from where we eat to what we watch. I drove to City Y. Everything crumbled because my mom decided to tag along. In addition to that, we had spent about 45-50 min waiting for our table and missed a showing of the movie I picked. I was upset and Presley could see that. I don't remember why, but me and Presley were in my car, while my mom drove hers; I guess we took 2 cars. On the way back from the movie Presley said, "Let's go for coffee." At an intersection my mom turned left, and I turned right :)

We ended up driving by my high school and parked in a near-by neighborhood. We talked for at least 90 min; the conversation was about everything, from far away stars to the first make-out experience. I wanted to make a move, but was scared shitless: she was a strong 9 for her age, taller than me, very intimidating. Didn't make a move. Took her home, txted thanks for the date, drove back to City Y.

Part V. I don't care. After V Date we started texting each other. It was slow at the beginning, but by the end of February we were sending 30-40 texts/day. March 13th: Presley: "Let's go watch a movie." (there is a movie theater right between City X and City Y) Me: "Alright, which one you want to see? There is a Gay Movie #1 with shitty reviews, and a horrible Movie #2 with even worse reviews." Presley: "I don't care, let's just watch a movie." (this message hit me really hard. I realized that she is up to something" Me: "Ok"

The movie theater was almost empty (Thursday night). We were the only people in the row and Presley rested her head on my lap. Yes, I did have boner the entire movie. At the end of the night I gave her an awkward hug, jumped in my car, and drove off.

Part VI. Deal closed. March 14. We set up a date for March 15th in City X. She txted me, "you better not disappoint me this time."

It was a beautiful sunny day and we walked around downtown. Randomly, she told me that she liked guys of her height, I asked why. "Because it's possible to have awesome standing sex, " then she added while touching my arm, "I hope I am not too forward with you."

Finally, we decided to watch a DVD and came back to my place. I didn't have a TV; we laid in my bed and watched the movie on my laptop. Everything went down after the movie.

Aftermath We dated for about 10 months. Then I broke up with her. My mom eventually found out about us. She said that she felt some vibes and wasn't shocked.

P.S.: 2 months into our relationship, she left her long-time boyfriend (he was older than her).


monty09, let's hear your stories. I might write a few more :)

 

Nice, but I believed you up until the point where your mom found out and was not shocked and you broke up with a "9" cougar.

I still cannot believe I did it. I'd love to go back, but she is married now.

Is this what happens in non-coastal Cali? :p

 
Marcus_Halberstram:
The one part he left out to protect everyone's anonymity is that Presley is actually a man and the part about Presley being an intimidating 9 didn't quite mean what you may have initially thought.
Hahahaha, while I liked the story, this response was far better. As for the comments above about a "14 year age gap" -- just because this chick was his mom's friend doesn't mean the two were the same exact age.
