I think younger men want to learn, where as older men think they have nothing to learn.

My opinion? Younger guys see and are attracted to a vibrant, newly awaken heart in an older woman. spend 30 minutes chatting with a lady in her late 30s or 40s and you can't help but see the difference. You can see "life", you can see "zest", and you can see "a younger heart". Older guys spend time thinking "my life is nearly over", while older ladies tend to think "my life is far from over!"

It may sound corny, but if you think it through you'll come to the same conclusion.

(Man, thats way too deep for a Friday night...)

I think , therefore I am.

Very nicely stated

I thought the same thing about this reply - q
uite insightful, really!!

Ok here is my opinion.

Younger woman are inexperienced and have a high standard for that perfect moment while everything has to be right with the perfect prince for the princess' fairy tale world. Like launching a space shuttle. (Quote from American Pie... hehe... which also made popular MILF).

Whereas the Cougars are just plain sexual animals that just want to get down to business. Life has been a series of disappointments, but sex is still exciting and enjoyable without the fairy tale dream... just extasy (sp??).



OR my other simple theory is: Experience vs No Experience.

No Experience with another No Experience person makes bad bed experience. "Is this right? What else can we do... I don't know"

Experience with Experience makes it normal. No wow factor.

Experienced Older and No Experience Younger makes the Younger in AWE and the Older feel... hey I just scored someone more sexier and younger.


Hehe... I am only guessing.

Hmmm, bad guess. My life has certainly not been filled with disappointment. And believe it or not, life is not all about sex as you seem to think. You keep up that kind of thinking and your life will be filled with the "disappointment" that you seem to push on us. JMO

Ok... so if an older guy/women hooks up with a younger women/guy and it is not about the sex... than what is it???

HAHA!!! I was wondering what you were bother about.
Let me clarify, Disappointments as in the first marriage the marriage for love, was not a fairy tale promise. The Happily Ever After. The realization that life is alittle more complicated that what someone of youth thought about marriage.. the hope of an everlasting love. I stand my ground, it is a disappointment when a first marriage doesn't last a lifetime.

Maybe, disappointed in the older men's ability. hehe...

I am sure you had a great life and I am not familiar with your life's particular circumstances and thus I was not talking about you, nor referring to you.

And it is all about SEX. The title of Thread is about "Cougar".

* Cougar refers to an older woman, usually in her 40s, 50s or 60s who usually sexually pursue men in their 20s and 30s[11]. In many cases, the alternative scenario is true where these women are pursued by younger men who have an affinity for the beauty, maturity & intellect of women in this age range. Term used by TV series 30 Rock (episode "Cougars"), How I Met Your Mother (episode "Aldrin Justice"), Two and a Half Men (episode "Waiting for the Right Snapper"), Supernatural (episode "Red Sky at Morning"), the NBC reality TV show Age of Love, CBC's jPod, One Tree Hill and Law & Order: CI (episode "Betrayed").

On film, it was used in 2004's National Lampoon's Going the Distance and in 2007's Ocean's Thirteen. The 2007 film Cougar Club was dedicated to the subject — its plot was about two males creating a club where parties are thrown where male members get the chance to meet and have sexual encounters with "cougars".

oboy... never mind...

I get e mails from men in thier 20's, I tell them I am flattered but not interested. Men my age do not e mail me.

Me too... I get emails from girls in their 20's... I tell them I am interested especially when they send me naked photos... but they always want me to pay for their website and look at their ads.

OHHHHHHH... I've got another hair brain theory..
Men are just plain horny... no matter what the age.
Women are just plain (oooo.. better watch what I say...) opportunistic. hehehe...

So, I think Cougars are older women that are just plain horny.

Here Kitty Kitty so I can make you purrr

I like the name myself...it fits the definition. I am a cougar, i do bite and have claws to defend myself with. I don't try to get with younger men but, i seem to atract them and what's not to like???!! cougar? yes-Younger men are my prey, I'm on the hunt, and looking for a wild man to tame me...

I was shocked at the number of young guys who were interested. I didn't think I was a cougar because they came looking for me, but I'll take the nickname because of the young guys that come with it.

Young guys are fun, not expecting you to take care of them, cook for them, etc. They just want to enjoy your experience and your sexual confidence, which is great. For the most part, I find they are OK at sex, but they're really pretty, which makes up for it. Plus, you can instruct them.

Hilly... I love your attitude!!!

So what is the name for an older man hunting for young girls?

pervert. LMFAO

my favorite post. had to quote.
