I understand that completely although I feel empowerment doesn't stem from a term but from being free to do what you want, have relationships with whomever you want. Can't put a label or a price on that, can we? :smile:Sometimes the younger men pursued me, sometimes the other way around. As for the term "Cougar", I like to see it as speaking of empowerment. :smile:
I have seen nasty comments that were disparaging of cougars as "fat, ugly sluts who couldn't find a man when they were in their prime".
AND... it can be just about sex, but it can be something more serious as well. I mean, there are instances of older women and younger men even getting married. My grandmother and step-grandfather were this way. My mom's mother married a man who was a year younger than my mom was! Now, he wasn't a particularly nice person, but that had nothing to do with his age. :biggrin1: And then of course there are Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher...
wow, you have issues. chill out.:bukkake2:But neologisms usually detract from language and culture rather than add to it. A cougar is a species of puma. A woman is something else entirely, don't denigrate her by giving her silly high school names. You are a man not a boy.

True... I always wanted that kind of freedom. I sort of got it, but in doing so, I don't have many close friends, and even my casual acquaintances, I have to be careful what I say around them for fear of hostility (but this isn't just about sexual stuff - I can totally say I'm attracted to younger men around just about anybody, but I have trouble telling anyone what my political views are because I've been met with hostility on the few occasions that I said anything about them. And on some sexual things I have similar fears).
Usually heard from men our age or older feeling threatened because we've stepped into their territory. Which baffles me because we're obviously not their cuppa tea so why they would care what we do is beyond me.
Strange...I had to laugh at one woman commenting on the people who were saying that cougars were fat, ugly losers and/or sluts and were disgusting. She said something similar about men who were balding and had pot bellies. Of course, there have been older men/younger women pairings for years, and actually, there have been older women/younger men pairings as well, but they weren't talked about as much. It was often considered socially unacceptable. (Of course, MOST of my views seem to be socially unacceptable, especially in repression-land, so I get the upper hand by keeping to myself.)
I have a very good friend who is 62. Her husband is 48. He is devoted to her and would move the earth and sky for her. Married 23 years. Yes, it does happen. :smile:
ever met a woman who's not:buttkick:Cougars for the win, I love the idea of an older woman knowing what she wants and possibly teaching me some of her tricks. Just watch out, they're dangerous
My gf is 52 and doesn't look a day over 35, she gets chased by boys in their 20s all the time. She just laughs when people use the word "cougar" around her,that may be because she's never prowled for any males. Fortunately I've stayed in good shape and look in my mid 30s so it works out well . As Seaside mentioned many men (and I'll add women) haven't kept in shape and look older than they actually are. Bottom line you have to be in pretty physical condition to go at it for hours on end...
I`ve been with my "cougar" for nearly ten years now, I`m 27 while she is 48 and our sex life and relationship is still as good if not better than it was when we first met.
She`s got an incredibly high sex drive too and loves sucking my dick ever chance she gets, and I honestly don`t think I would have this kind of sex life with someone my age if what my friends tell me is any indication.
They are in relationships with women their age and it seems I am getting a lot more steady sex than they are, I guess its true when they say women reach their sexual primes around their forties then.
I'm 38 and I've been dating a guy 14 years my junior for 2 years.
I dislike the term cougar though.
I didn't pursue him but responded favorably when he asked me out. It went from there basically. All the other younger men (the other age differences were not as significant) either asked me out or it was a mutual thing (I'm not very aggressive or good at the art of pursuit).
Interestingly, there is a 30 year difference between my boyfriend's parents. The father is 30 years older than the mother.
And I'll bet that people don't really bat an eye about his father being 30 years older than his mother, but if a woman is 30 years older than the man in her life, people would think that's really strange! Now, I'm not old enough to be doing that - 30 years younger than me is still underage! But I do like guys in their twenties and thirties.
That's why I 1) want to find an athletic guy - for the stamina! and 2) want to have enough money and time to join a gym so I can get in better shape myself! (not just for the stamina for sex, but also yeah, for looks, and for health, and because I want to do stuff someday like do adventure travel, and you have to be in good shape to do that stuff too.)
See, it isn't just casual relationships! It can be casual and short-term, but it can be long-term as well. It's all good.
