I recently went out to a singles night in town at a local hotel.

When I arrived they gave me a card with the name of a famous TV or movie star. I got Fred Flinstone and had to find Wilma in the Crowd.
All people in the room were mostly older than me so I danced with several ladies 50 plus.

Most times when I go out that's the age of the ladies after me. They call the "Cougars". I am 44, Where are all the ladies my age or younger? Nothing against older ladies. what should I do?banana head banger

Cougar has come to mean an insult to any older woman that dates a younger man. I think it the beginning it meant older women that prey on younger men like they were game.

No problem wine but i just think women that chase younger men are a bit sad wine and visa versa

Thanks for the clarification - would Demi Moore be a Cougar then? What does the age difference have to be to qualify as a Cougar. Very absurd in my opinion.

The world of Hollywood is a little different but I'm just talking about an average guy in the dating scene, which I am new to, an a little curious.

was at a singles bbq once (although my mate actually never told me till half way thru the night)yes all the women were older but it was a great night never laughed so much, no romance came from it , still a good night

That's great and I want to point out that there are many Beautiful ladies of all ages but I didn,t understand why I was attracting certain ladies.

Not all older women are out to grab a younger man, but are comfortable with themselves and able to just enjoy male company in a social setting without wanting sex wine

you did say they were all older than you, so no younger ones to attract, and just maybe they were at a singles night and just socializing dunno

There was a certain demographic missing so females from 30 to 40 were not there on the night. another mystery. do they have children and find it hard to go out?

In Bournemouth where I used to live Singles nights were known as cattle markets.Sad but true.

As for the "age" thing there is no barrier where TRUE love is concerned and nor should there be.heart beating

Lol... that's what mothers are for... laugh

Technically she is wrong, this term - cougar - is for women hunting young men 18-30, about 15-20 years their juniors.

Translating/applying this term to a man in his mid-forties, his "cougars" should be well over 60.
