What's the deal with cougars?

I have reached the ripe old age of 38 and this puts me at the younger end of the species lately known as the cougar. I cannot profess to being cougar as I'm not particularly hot and I'm married (which I also think is a bit silly, however that's the topic of another thread).

I was out last Saturday night and, despite the cold weather, I saw an awful lot of skin, stilettos and tacky tattoos on dames young and not-so-young.

It got me thinking: why do women of a mature age insist on living up to some faux-pornstar ideal? Have they completely given up on the idea of being taken seriously?

I have also read about 40-something women say things like, "It's so great going out with a 20-year-old because they have so much energy and make me feel young again."

I've got news for you, honey: he doesn't feel the same way about your crow's feet, laugh lines and botox. He's only with you because you fund his present lifestyle.

Is this what 50 years of second-wave feminism has brought us? The opportunity to slave away for some corporation just to achieve some semblance of financial security and slum around like a predator? Is equality just having the ****ty existence of some salary-man? Is a woman's worth reduced to how long she can get away with behaving like a teenager? Who wants to fight for that?

And in the end you're just old. To deny it and reject the maturity and intelligence it confers for the emptiness of a few nights with some dumb-a$$ beau is just plain stupid. A battle no one can ever win. Joan Rivers, anyone? And as for that Courtney Cox, why did anyone wake up that erect-nippled harridan and put her in a show to rival Desperate Housewives?

Let's hope cougars become an endangered species because their story is already a pretty sad one. I'm not advocating a return to the days of women wearing crinoline skirts and discussing oven cleaner with housewife pals at the supermarket, but there's got to be something better than this. Lesbianism? Nah, I don't like carpet and the spiky hair, and I just know how much guys like that idea.

Otherwise, a lot of perfectly good bras were burnt in vain.

I might need pictures to make up my mind.

But there is something to the idea regarding experience in the sack.

You might have something there. Then again, any 16-yr-old with broadband can learn the tricks of the trade quicksmart.

Perhaps these cougars were in bad marriages and relationships before and are trying to make up for "lost time." Besides, cougars are fun to be around if only to eavesdrop in their conversations while imbibing a cold one. Better than the alternative: sausage-fest at the bar.
As for Courtney Cox, she looks in great shape and I don't just mean her face but her legs are toned as well.

I had to look up the word "harridan". Why not just say skinny *****?

I think TS is just jealous. You should maybe talk to a counselor about the emotional pain you are going thru as a result of not finding any young guys to give you the time of day.

she said nipple:D

I'm thinking since she is ragging on skinny women with erect nipples, she is probably fat and has some of those inverted nipples, which may have contributed to getting kicked out of the sack by some young dude when he saw them. Which in turn resulted in this thread.

I "dated" a girl once that had those; pretty weird but she was very good in bed. Oh, and she was older than me and married to a redneck that learned about sex from watching farm animals. I guess I have a soft spot in my heart for cougars, especially the ones that get out of bed and go home and don't bother you afterwards.

Hmmm, maybe you could refer me to your witchdoctor?

Ya know, if vocab and comprehension aren't your strong suits, maybe you should refrain from doing psychology.

All the cougars in the world are welcome to you, Rhett, you incorrigible charmer you!

The attraction to cougars is obvious, A woman who knows the landscape and will dismiss any conversation that involves the love of poetry,sunsets and long walks on the beach by a 20 year old guy. Cougars for the most part want to hold hands with a time machine and go back 15 or 20 years to get busy and then roll over and sleep. Tattoos are going to be a cultural curse and are going to make nursing homes even more sickening.Tramp stamps above the but crack and all those cherries between pubz and pelvis are going to make old age diaper changes even more disturbing. Divorce has put way too many late models out on the market and none of them come with the human equivalent of a Carfax so you know even with a nice exterior just how many serious accidents the body has been through. Seeing 50 year old men with 20 year old girls is creepy but men a wired for sex until the grave. Seeing the tables turned with women that look like Dane Edna or Phylis Diller out with Micheal Phelps just makes me feel dirty, dirty like the slash from a porta potty where not sink is available.

"Incorrigible". Now that is a word that I am familiar with. ;)

Seriously, I'm just trying to help. I mention psychologist because alot of times when somebody feels compelled to complain about something in a public manner it usually means they are jealous or are self-loathing. Think of the Catholic priests or Ted Haggard.

You have some hidden demon that has made you lash out like this on a cycling forum. Here are some links to some things that may help:

You will probably have better luck in there than in here, with smarta$$es like me derailing threads.

I'm older than you, so my cougar days are over. They were fun while they lasted, for both parties. Too bad you can't experience them. :p

Thank you for your mercy, kind sir. Anyone can see you're way too sharp for a poor, inexperienced wench like me. I'm going to to weigh myself now, then weep over my Sara Lea Ultra Choc while I watch Oprah.

Your benevolence manifests in strange ways. My post was humourous, while you were the one lashing out with kinda freaky aggression. And the details of your erotic life? They sure were something...man I could almost smell it!

Again, thank you. It was great.

Chris may have a few rough edges, but when you get past that sometimes he's just a real ****.:D

You put this out there for discussion and I was just curious about your motivation. Being fat or having inverted nipples could be something that inspired this rage you are exhibiting. Again, I'm sorry that I touched a nerve here. If it is 12 o'clock where you live, may I suggest you run to the store and buy a 12 pack and chill out?

I am not sure why you are attacking me. The internet is a useful tool where reasonable people can agree to disagree and discover different perspectives on life. I feel you have misplaced anger towards cougars and now it is being directed towards me, since I have taken advantage of this breed of older woman. I am the enemy now by proxy. On top of that you keep using unusual words like "harridan" just to try to confuse the issue.

Thanks for messing up my morning. I'm gonna go take a walk. :mad:

What's this osession with inverted nipples? I heard your story with them but, man, that's funny. Oh yeah, I referred to Ms. Cox (suitable name, don't you think?) as an erect-nippled harridan as she was famous for her headlights on TV's Friends. As for the harridan reference, I just picked that one outta the air.

I found it strange that you cast aspersions on both my physique and motivation, then you come cap in hand saying you were, "only trying to help." Now you're saying you need a time-out. Far be it from me to mock the afflicted. Carry on.

My motivation? It's not slinky young bodies I envy. I objected to the 'cleansing' of the BoB website, for one, and I have a keen eye for beauty. These cougar-types, though, are a bit shallow and don't compare well to their youthful competition. I cringe at their pitiful grasping for years past and object to their dismissal of maturity. They need to grow up. They smile brightly, but it's a smile through pain.

And do they all have cracker bodies? Noooooooooo. Heck, I'm a cyclist, my *** firmer than most of the mutton traipsing about! They diss men who are bald...that's very bad form. Captain Pickard and Ben Kingsley are at the top of my list and are much more interesting than some sap like Toby Maguire. Brad Pitt? Dumba$$! Give me Christopher Walken or Kevin Spacey (Ok, the latter is probably gay, but, Oh well...)

In the end, the cougar stereotype that so many women over 35 seem to aspire to has two main problems 1) it's an affectation and therefore insincere, and 2) it reduces a woman's value to her body. Many of the posters so far seem to indicate this.

Now then, Party on, dudes ;)

She will not be a Cougar after 50, the proper name after 50 is Puma. Not sure what the next stage after Puma is..... Aardvark?

There is nothing better then a mature, intelligent women....but when they dress up like Britney Spears it is just weird. It is kinda like a clown costume.
