So, I've heard they are out there, but today was the first time I was solicited by a Cougar. We were drinking at the airport lounge bar. She had a beautiful Puerto Rican accent and made me blush (I'm a sensitive flower of a man). Anyway, all I could do was laugh...
Anyone else been a target lately?

When they ask for money they aren't cougars.  |

They also are not cougars if they are hitting on men who are age appropriate.

Why are women of a certain age taking to younger men called cougars? Reverse it and men are called playboys. Typical double standard.
I am about to be 48 years old. DH is 4 years younger than me. I've been teased about being a cougar, but guess who can keep with this old lady? 🤣

And for the record, I think Cougar is a great name. Out in the wild (four legged furry cougars) they are known to sneak up in their prey and attack without notice before fading back into the shadows when unsuccessful.... |
