>>Why do we have to have such a negative label put on an older woman dating a younger guy anyway.

Because men want to have the absolute last word on female sexuality, so they coined this belittling term to categorize behavior they find threatening. It's all about them.

In a Bones episode, Booth explains to Bones that cougar means a woman who prefers to date younger men. Bones reply is something like, "So, basically all women, then."

I think if you're an older woman, and you can get a young man, that's a compliment. YAY for the cougars!

Think of it this way - when young woman goes with a much older man, it's for his money and nothing else.

Well, I highly recommend the older woman/younger man scenario - it's the best way to go!!!!!!

Yeah, I know what your saying, but the term "cougar" is viewed negatively by a majority of people. I do know one younger guy that I find extremely attractive, but I'd feel like an idiot if I was dating him.

Don't get me wrong.......I think there is a limit on the age spread to make it acceptable and avoid the "ICK" factor......going either way.

I love it when women are compared to animals for a quick-n-easy personality reference.

Well, in all fairness, the same has been the case for men........Rat, Stud, Bull, Jackass, etc.

My roommate told me he'd rather be called a "Cougar" than a "Chicken Hawk".
