Cougars On The Prowl
Say goodbye to secretive, predatory Mrs. Robinsons. Older women dating younger men aren't taboo anymore.
They're fierce -- they're cougars.
And now they're being celebrated on the new reality show hosted by Vivica A. Fox, "The Cougar."
They're women over 40 who want to date men under 35. And one of them on the show, Fox told The Early Show, has her pick of the litter. Twenty-somethings are lining up to win the affection of a twice-divorced 40-year-old mother of four.
"I think that a forty-year-old woman today looks a lot different than she did, per se, 20 years ago," Fox told Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman. "And her state of mind now is different. She has her own career. Her own independence. Her own bank account. And she's making her own decisions."
Fox added that young men are growing more attracted to mature women.
"I don't know what's going on with the younger guys," she said. "They are attracted to... heck, I want a woman!"
Madonna was 10 years older than the man she divorced, then went on to date a man almost 30 years younger. Jennifer Aniston, who is 40 years old, is almost a decade older than former boyfriend John Mayer. And Demi Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher have a 15-year age difference.
But it isn't just celebrity women who are dating younger men. Dating Web sites cater to this crowd, including Cougar Speed Date.com, run by relationship expert Lucia.
"The number one reason guys say they like older women is confidence," Lucia told Kauffman. "She knows what she wants by then, she's not afraid to ask for it, she's not afraid to go and get it."
But what happens to cougars that age?
Fox said there's no expiration date on a cougar.
"You just enter into the next league -- and become a jaguar!" she said. "Check that out!"
"The Cougar" airs Wednesday nights on TV Land.

As for the comment above about older women being more willing to wear lingerie and won't make men work for it.....YEA... DUH. The old women realize that there isn't much to make the guy wait for so they HAVE to wear lingerie immediately to keep the young boys attention. When your young, tight and firm in your 20s...your body and sexuality is a treat to your man so women my age like to surprise their men and give them something to look forward to. Lets face it..girls my age can wear a pair of baggy sweats and a bra and still look sexy as hell. Put a 40 to 50 year old in the same outs fit and the thought is revolting.
Yes there are always going to be men that find older women attractive.

Lets face it though, women might be more mature and have more money as they get older...but plastic surgery isn't going to keep their insides young...and that includes female genitalia.

In my experience, whenever I have asked a woman under 30 to wear the sheer black seamed stockings, the response I get is: "No way. Forget it. Whats wrong with you. How dare you disrespect me like that."
The first time I ever asked a Cougar to do the same thing, she said: "I'd love to do that for you."

Not true at all. If there is any sagging at all they more than make up for it with an advanced set of skills. They are usually good sports about lingerie and won't make a man jump through hoops the way a younger woman will.
I am going to get some Cougar NIP tonight and hang it around my neck and all the Cougars will be puring and wanting attention.
