First off, a Cougar chases Cubs. I've always thought this also to mean that the woman is old enough to be the mother of her partner. I don't mean 12, 16 or even 18 years older. I'm talking about a woman in her 40's dating college aged partners, for example.

When it's less extreme, say mid 30's with mid20's. That makes one a PUMA. Not kidding, Google it, girls.

August 9, 2007 Urban Word of the Day
An attractive woman in her late 20s or early 30s. She is a pre-cougar/urban cougar.
I think that puma just grabbed my ass.

puma    
   
A woman who is not quite old enough to be a cougar, but still likes to date/mate with younger men.
Dating a puma wasn't so bad, Bob reflected. After all, the sex was great and she never minded picking up the tab when they went out on the weekend.

So...maybe you're not a Cougar...but a Puma instead...

So, one of my regular sex partners is almost twice my age. Is there a name for him?

TOF  No offense intended !

Lol, well, glad to see that I am not alone....

Although I think the guys in their early 20s are just good for an one-night stand  they probably are not relationship material at that age anyway

I'm in my 40's and I'm probably not relationship material either. But,. I make a great friend with benefits.

That's my feeble attempt at figuring out what you just said. I learn so much from this site. Can you explain just a tad further?

Felix, I don't know what Jen meant by TOF but Tons Of Fun sounds about right.

That fits. Thanks.

I hooked up with a 21 yr old who wanted a relationship. He was bisexual(but I think he's gonna turn out gay later on) and he wants me to dump the married man.

Wonderful guy, except I don't know how things are gonna pan out. Al is 32 and well, a bit possessive and I don't see him taking the "reveal" very well. I love meeting men in the Castro, especially the younger guys... I have enough 30-40 year olds after me.

While we are on the subject here, you know male/female pheromones....

I swear that I have become more acute to younger guys' pheromones, lol. They just seem tastier to me!

Eight more days for me.
(that smilie is labeled 'walk,' but it has happy feet)

if it makes you feel better im 21 and my boyfriend is 30. I mean, i'm a trans woman but i met him before he knew that and before i decided to transition.  (My boyfriend is also trans but untransitioned and is okay with male pronouns for the record)
But dont feel like a cougar yet, cougar status is 40+

Wow! the endless potential combinations of relationships!

On a different but related note -

Masha mentioned to me that she had a 16 years old person hit on her - imagine this , I am a HIGH SCHOOL teacher! Yup, that is right, I am surrounded by young guys entering their pubertal stages!!!

What's even worse - I teach exclusively seniors, meaning most of them are 17-20.  and one of the classes has FIVE jocks. lol.

God help me.

I have ALWAYS loved older women, and right now I'm dating a 44-year-old (I'm 36). Nothing at all wrong with this, IMO

You know, age is to a big part only a number on a paper. It is a cliché, yes, but nonetheless a very true such one.
And not to forget to mention, people age differently too, and someone that is 40 on the paper may nonetheless be biologically or/and mentally younger than someone that is 25 on the paper.

Don't think about age so much just because others do, just let go and and if you like someone then you like someone and if that person likes you, than that person likes you, regardless of age.

Well, age does play a factor if the relationship is May-December!!! 

Emergency!!!

I truly was a cougar!!! I got too drunk at Castro last night and woke up with a 21 years old guy in my bed! God, it was wild

And he was one of those skater emo skinnny boys. lol. hardly the type I would pick up heh
