Cougars On The Prowl

Vivica A. Fox Hosts Show That Celebrates Older Women Dating Younger Men

(CBS)  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.

Okay, I'm just going to lay this out. Cougars are absolutely disgusting! Okay so with enough plastic surgery and face lifts you are able to look somewhat younger. Lets face it! As you get older parts of your body begin to die and STINK. Most women in their 40's have to ****** regularly just so those around them don't get nauseous. I'd say about 90% of women won't be honest with men about how gross female genitalia can become with age. They have some crazy obsession with trying to feel young again because they realize that they are getting old. They find satisfaction in sleeping with younger men because they are in denial about their age. They want to feel young?! I say GO FOR IT... but don't put your stinky dying coochies on young guys. Its disgusting.

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.
Yes there are always going to be women that find younger 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.

The Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher example is perfect. Any normal man would see why he was so captivated by her. He probably gladly goes along with whatever she wants because he knows she is going to thrill him on a daily basis. But a big component of his satisfaction is making it clear to women his own age that he doesn't need them all. Not them or their little attitudes.

It was mentioned that what about when the man is 40ish and the "cougar" is 60ish? It is no different than twenty years before. I am 63 and my good-looking love is 47. He is the one who initiated the relationship and thinks I am beautiful and appreciates my wisdom and experiences in life. Everything in life is relative; so girls, go for it!

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."

Women over 40 are washed up and disgusting. I dont care how "fit" they are, their body begins to go through changes that remind you that they are old.

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.

Cougars are Fabulous, Older women know what they want and dont play stupid games like 20 and 30 year olds. I like a woman who is direct and to the point & most Cougars look better then these 20 somethings.

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.

Women over 40 are gross. 20-30 is the perfect age. Over 40 they start getting stiff and soft,GROSS.

I dated older women until I turned 40. As a 20 year old college student, my first experience with a 36 year old woman was mind altering. She came around once or twice a week on her schedule. I was always up for the occasion. Its great for a young man to get his needs met. Its also very satisfying to sneer at a 20 year old teasing snob, rubbing in her face "I'll show you". A 20 year old man being kept unloaded by a Cougar absolutely infuriates 20 year old women.
