Prrrrrrrrr, Growl, MEOW!

The Puma
A woman who is not quite old enough to be a Cougar, but still likes to date/mate with younger men.
Example:  Ashley Greene/Joe Jonas


The Cougar
A 35+ year old female who is on the "hunt" for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The Cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. "Man is Cougar's number one prey"
Example:  Jennifer Lopez/Casper Smart


Take note that the opposite of the Cougar is known as a Manther.
Example:  Hugh Hefner/All girlfriends and ex wives


The Jaguar
A woman who, once in a while in the animal kingdom of human females, supercedes the Cougar. the Jaguar status is attained when plastic surgery begins to be had to "correct" previous procedures. face lifts and Botox have become so frequent that the Jaguar often looks Asian. 
Example:  Joan Rivers/everyone is younger than her so insert any name here.


My question is why?  I am not talking about a woman dating a man that is less than five years younger, I am talking about a significant age difference.  Take Demi/Ashton, did she really think that it would last?  She is a gorgeous woman but she is nearing 50 years old.  Ashton is young, smart and doesn't have an ounce of fat on that fine body.  Their age difference was 15 years.  Some could say that she quite possibly could be his mother.  Regardless, they were in love.  I give mad props to that in this day and age.


The reason for this post?  Personally, I have noticed the young men that are looking for older women.  Not only looking for them but seeking them, hard and heavy.


I have a friend (we will call her Flo).  Flo is a hot lady.  Flo has been courted by younger men in the past but recently a young man (we will call him Bro) that we both know has been "all over her".  Emails, texts, Facebook messages, etc.  Bro wants a lil' Flo.  The funny thing?  She has no interest.


There is only a 8-10 year age difference but he types/texts like a boy and not a man.  He is a handsome little devil but Flo isn't "down".  He requests that she come over late night which is defined to me as a "booty call".  The absolute best was when he sent a text photo that was a tad bit risque.  Flo is not a Cougar but she is being courted by a Mountain Lion.


I robbed the cradle once.  When I was a senior in high school, I dated a junior.  Granted I graduated at age 17 and while we were only 5 months apart in age, I like to refer to this time as "dating a younger man".  It gives me street cred.


Relationships are hard enough as is.  That's all.
