    Since my last birthday, my husband has joked that I've entered cougar territory, but it just doesn't hold water. I prefer men my age or a little bit older... (And he knows that, he just likes teasing me... :wink: )


    So in your house, it's a put down or someone to laugh at. OK.

    Indif about it. Age means nothing if you like the other person.

    I wouldn't ever consider it an insult to a lass if I heard them described as it but also would probably only use it tongue in cheek or with someone who I knew would take it as a compliment.

    I agree that it can depend on who is saying or what's implied.

    Sometimes men over 40 just don't do. :wink:

    Good thing I'm not even 30 yet. ;) lol!

    Really though, all women are beautiful! Young and old. (Just have a thing for older experienced ladies. They don't play around or do drama. I hate drama)

    That's the thing. There's plenty of drama with a younger woman. Though I wouldn't call a 40+ woman "old."

    I'd prefer to be called a MILF. The term "cougar" makes me think of a lady in her mid 40's+ with botox, like all of those "Housewives." There's nothing wrong with being a cougar; I'm just not at that age yet.
    Botox, lolwut? :noway:
    Sheesh.

    Re the original post, it's a negative term to me... but so is the premise. Not interested in guys my son's age; that's just, ew. No. The rest of y'all can have 'em. :flowerforyou:

    Fortunately back in my dating years, dating younger men didn't require that I be labeled. :ohwell:

    Yeah it probably did, but no one said it to your face. Back then, sexual women were vilified.

    They still are. There's a very fine line between prude and slut.

    IMHO confident women unfortunately will be vilified regardless of their sexual prowess or lack there of but I think there is a huge difference between prude and slut... I prefer to find the middle ground :laugh: :laugh: :drinker:
