Have you ever been called a cougar? How do you feel about it? I shared my thoughts on this over on the This is Africa site
“…Recently, as I was walking toward one of my friends at an arts festival, another guy said in reference to me, “She looks like a cougar. Is she one?” I wonder what gave him that impression. Was it my slightly too short denim skirt? Or was it a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’?

A Manther is the equivalent name of a cougar. Unfortunately, the standards for this highly practice lifestyle is not the same. The problem with dating younger is that men mature much later than women and you might have to struggle with some infantile behaviors. Another problem is that most men want a seed and an older woman might not be in the position to be able to fulfill that need. There are many great looking women that don’t look their age and might be able to get away with a younger lover. However, investing your time on a low return should be something that you are willing to take a lost at. Otherwise, find yourself an older man with lots of stamina.

@AM, no we’re not exclusive and nah I don’t care one hoot
