Mrs Robinson

What Is A Cougar Relationship?  Put quite simply, it is a relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

It seems there's been  an increase in cougar relationships over the last few years. The fact is that the younger man / older woman relationship has existed for eons.  It is often the older celebrity woman that gets noticed by the media when they have a relationship with a younger man. People like, Mae West, Mary Tyler Moore, Raquel Welsh and  Susan Sarandon.

This part of our site explores the factors influencing cougars as they explore their options and dating possibilities with younger men.


Mature Women Cougars Were scandalous then intriguing

July 28th, 2009 by GiGi

Mature Women as Cougars were scandalous then intriguing and are now simply ordinary.

demiashton1.jpgThanks to the booming divorce market, we now live in an age when more and more 35-and-older women are both single and financially independent. Add image-enhancing prospects created by fitness, diet and plastic surgery, and you have something approximating a new species of woman. And every new species needs a new name, in this case homo cougarus - The Cougar.

This is the Golden Age for mature women and we not just talking on the Hollywood scene. You have Katie Couric presenting the news to the nation every night. Women such as Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton on the political front and fabulous Hollywood ladies such as Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon all have some things in common. Most are highly intelligent, and most are glamorous. These women and the breed of women they represent have their own money, their own power.

Backing up the cougar craze as the buzzpoint of a larger population shift are the statistics cited in the new book Microtrends, which features a chapter on cougars. Among the book’s findings:

U.S Census bureau statistics show that the number of couples in which the woman was significantly older than the man shot up by more than 3 million between 1997 and 2003.

10 Tricks For Young Men To Dating Older Women

November 14th, 2008 by GiGi

I don’t think I’ve ever met a man you had hardly any common sense. For you young studs out there looking to hook up with a mature older woman for the experience of a lifetime, here’s a few pointers to get your first date with your hot cougarheaded in the right direction:

  • Trust me when I say she won’t be interested in the number of women you’ve slept with and  your ability to drink a 24 without falling down
  • She won’t want to hear about your sorry love life. Keep the Ex’s out of the conversation.
  • Unless your a sumo wrestler, don’t pig out on that first date. Try not to wipe the spaghetti sauce off your face with your sleeve. Keep those eating noises to a minimum please.
  • Stay off that damn cell phone. Put it on mute if necessary.
  • Check your attire - no holes, stains etc., and if you’re wearing running shoes find some that aren’t riddled with holes.
  • For God’s sake use deordorant. You guys tend to take the term “macho” a little too far.
  • You’re probably a little awkward and baffled why the hell she picked you, but if you respond to her conversation with one syllable answers, you’re going to find yourself left high and dry. A mature woman expects her man to be interested in her and be able to hold his own in a conversation
  • Some things are on a “Need To Know” basis. Try to keep some of those traumatizing experiences in your past to a minimum. This is a “Get To Know You Date”.
  • So you’ve had 8 glasses of wine over dinner and you don’t like the way the guy at the next table is looking at you. I know you’d like to stand up and show her just how “Macho” you really are,  but mature women don’t care to post bail on their first dates
  • So she’s not what you expected and probably you’re not what she was hoping for either, so please remember to keep your roaming eye focused on your date. I know the chick at the next table is giving you the eye, but a little courtesy and good manners goes a long way.

These ten little dating tips for a younger man older woman relationship could apply to just about any dating senario.

Is Katie Couric Still A Cougar?

July 14th, 2008 by GiGi

Cougar Katie Couric With Her Boy Toy

We think Katie Couric is still one hell of a cougar even though her romance has now fizzled with her boy toy, Brooks Perlin, we salute the lady for knowing how to pick em’.

Screw the ratings when you’ve got a hunky looking triathlete with one of the best pedigrees in the country. So who is Brooks Perlin? The prep school-educated son of a rich Connecticut family, he attended prestigious Williams College.

“The age difference scared her off at first,” said a friend of the CBS Evening News anchor. Rumor had it that Perlin had a roving eye with the ladies. Maybe this is what finally did scare her off.

Katie Couric is the anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric a 60 Minutes correspondent and anchor of CBS News primetime specials. When the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric debuted on Sept. 5, 2006, Couric became the first female solo anchor of a weekday network evening news broadcast. Since then, she has reported on and anchored from some of the biggest stories, domestically and internationally.

Kittens Take 2nd String To Cougars

July 14th, 2008 by GiGi

Who The Hell Wants A Kitten When You Can Find A Mature Cougar?
Is it any wonder that 34% of women over 40 are dating man who are younger than themselves? The kittens or younger women are busy trying to figure out what the hell they want out of life. Many still believe that they need a relationship to find happiness. They still believe in the dream wedding, the picket fence and living happily ever after, and they’re spending most of their time trying to find someone who’ll give it to them. They haven’t yet discovered that you can be happy even if you are single.

The cougar or mature women seem to have eclipsed this time of their lives. What’s more [tag]sexy than having the confidence to know that you can do everything a younger woman can and probably do it better.

Cougars have confidence and wisdom working for them. Somewhere through the years the cougar has discovered that happiness is not dependent on someone else. She could give a damn about the opinions of others as she has spent too many of her younger years toeing the line. She’s looking to explore life, love and sex and what better place to do it than with someone who’s got the vitality and youth and will appreciate her.

Find Yourself A Mature Woman!

So You Wannabe A Cougar

July 7th, 2008 by GiGi

For WannaBe Cougars only……

If you’re thinking about breaking your own private glass ceiling and considering an affair with a younger man consider the following before you do:

  • Great sex is an important part of any relationship, but you may decide that great abs are not as important as a lover who shares some of your life’s experiences.

  • Be careful. What if you fall in love with your boy toy? He may be thinking about getting married and having a family. Chances are you’ve already been there, done that. This type of glitch in a relationship is nearly impossible to overcome and the possibility of your May to December romance won’t have a future

  • You’re going to need to expand you horizons somewhat. More important than years on the planet are shared values, similar interests, and chemistry.

  • Are you going to have a hard time dealing with disapproval that may come from you friends and family?

Ellen Degeneris To Marry GirlToy

May 16th, 2008 by GiGi

BoyToy or GirlToy -  I’m as confused as hell.ellenportia.jpg

On the heels of a ruling that struck down California’s laws against gay marriage, Ellen DeGeneres announced her plans to wed longtime girl-toy, Portia de Rossi. Ellen, 50, and her longtime love (since 2004 which can be “longtime” by Hollywood Standards), Portia who’s 35, made the announcement before Ellen’s cheering audience.

The California’s Supreme Court ruled that people have a fundamental “right to marry” the partner of their choosing – therefore the previous ban on gay marriage was ruled unconstitutional.

One key to their happiness, DeGeneres said last year, is that they learn from one another. “She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her,” said the TV host. “We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, okay, this is completion.’ ”

Seems to me Ellen had similar things to say about wierd Anne Heche at one time!

Why Some Women Like Younger Men

May 12th, 2008 by GiGi

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Your old high school English teacher and… your best buddy?! Hey, it could happen. These days, if an older woman wants a baby, she can have one.

There will always be the Traditional Tina, scoping out an older fella who’s “on her maturity level” as she likes to think- and who’s willing to play provider. But what of the ever-growing population of footloose women with their crazy cradle-robbing ways? Is this another Maggie May, who, as Rod Stewart tells it, will “wreck your bed, and in the morning kick you in the head?” Or is she some lonely desperado, hoping to latch on to a kinder, gentler generation of men? Here are some insights as to why some women prefer to date younger guys. Read the rest of this entry »

Where Is My Boy Toy

May 9th, 2008 by GiGi

ivana4.jpg

It just doesn’t seem fair. Ivana Trump and I are close to the same age. How is it she’s able to land a hot boy toy like Rossano Rubicondi? The best I can do is any guy over 70 who’s had too much to drink normally makes a pass at me. (I think I look like the type that carries a mickey in her purse)

We both have blonde hair and green eyes. She obviously exercises a little more than I do and I’m guessing I’m unlikely to meet Mr. Hot Pants by hanging out at Wal Mart on a Saturday night.

Nevertheless, it pisses me off. Think I’ll make myself feel better by having another piece of that chocolate cake.

Demi and Ashton Realistic Expectations On Marriage

April 29th, 2008 by GiGi

Ashton Kutcher, the main squeeze of dynamic Demi Moore has put a lot of serious thought into his marriage. He and Demi tied the knot a few years ago amid the tabloid frenzy caused by their age discrepancy of 15 years. He happens to be married to one of the hottest cougars in the world!

When questioned regarding the age difference between he and Demi - “The number is so inconsequential,” he groaned. “I know 40-year-olds who act like they are 10 and I know a lot of 10-year-olds who act like they’re 40. They should change the measure from how long you have been here to how much responsibility you have taken on in your life. “That should be the age barometer. You fill in a docket, send it out to them and they send you back something that says ‘You are actually 50′.”

Ashton say the reason they’ve defied the critics and stayed together is because they have realistic expectations about marriage.

“The biggest problem in general with relationships is guys are raised with a goal of having sex,” he grinned. “But for women, they have these goals of ‘I’m going to get married, then I’m going to have kids’.

“What we’re missing is no one has the goal of being married. They think about the wedding, so no one’s working towards being married as a goal.”

Incredibly, Ashton even claims he didn’t even know the identity of stunning brunette Demi when they first met.

“The first time I ever saw her, I didn’t know who she was,” he smiled. “I sat and talked to her, not having the slightest idea I was talking to a famous person.” Yet when he made his debut red carpet appearance at Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle with Demi and her ex Bruce Willis, this became bigger news than anything he was doing on screen.
