10 Reasons Why Young Men Like Cougar Dating
There’s a lot to be said for snaring yourself a cougar - an older woman on the prowl for a younger lover. Half your age, plus seven is the generally accepted rule of thumb for a dating lower age limit - but what about a sexy older senorita who’s nearly twice your years?
We got to thinking about May-September romance, and why hooking up with your mum’s friend - or your friend’s mum - might be the best sex of your life.
Confidence
Older women exude confidence. Maybe it comes from years of experience, or maybe they really have seen it all before, but nothing compares to being on the arm of a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to speak her mind.
Maturity
If you’re tired of your twentysomething girlfriend’s pettiness, immaturity, or unreliability, maybe it’s time to try someone who’s had three husbands and is OVER IT. Cougars don’t mess around - they’ve got no patience for that any more.
Self-knowledge
Your older lady friend knows herself - knows what suits her, knows what she wants, knows what she likes and what she doesn’t like - and yes, that goes for in the sack too.
Decision made
When you’re dating with someone your own age, societal pressure often takes physical form in well-meaning relatives asking you when you’re going to settle down, make it official and have a few kids. Want to give this tiresome survey the swerve? Only date women who have already decided what they’re doing with their lives. It’s out of your hands!
OHAC
It sounds shallow, but women over a certain age probably have their affairs together financially. Let yourself be pampered for a change! So she’ll pick you up from the airport, buy you dinner, take you shopping, and all she wants in return is your gorgeous young body. Sounds like a good deal to us.
Purpose
Everyone I know has had a get-wrenching breakup in their twenties - one of those really god-awful, three-weeks-in-bed, block-their-number, gain-ten-pounds-on-the-ice-cream-diet ones - because one of the people in the relationship had a quarter-life crisis and decided they needed to go travelling/move to another country/date more people/experiment (delete as applicable). Your sugar mama has gotten this out of the way already - she knows what she wants, where she’s going and how to get it - and it’s smooth sailing from here on out.
Experience
There’s no point in beating around the bush here - any single woman on the other side of her thirties has more experience, know-how and skill in her little finger than the average 21-year-old. What’s the point of having all that knowledge if she can’t share it with you?
Feel appreciated
We’ve touched on this before. Everyone deserves to be lavished with care and attention sometimes. As long as you treat your cougar with respect, she’s going to look after you in ways you didn’t even know you needed or deserved. Don’t let it go to your head!
Variety is the spice of life
After all, do you want to settle down in your early thirties having only dated an endless succession of Gemmas, Jades, Jessicas and Megans?
- Broaden your horizons
Older women can show you things that women your age often have simply no idea about. Culture, art, fashion, history, politics and sex. Appreciate her and she’ll open doors for you that you didn’t even know existed.
