A male cougar has always just been considered a pervert or a ? old man whereas a female one is some kind of empowered sex goddess.

Why can't a guy bang a 25 year-old chick when they're 40 without society frowning on them?

    i think society usually frown on the women in these situations because if an older man is with a hot young chick, he's usually outkicked his coverage and the perception is the woman is only with him for money.

    I'm pretty sure mid to late 20's is still acceptable for a 40 year old. It's when you're 50-60 and ? with 25 year olds that it's nasty.

    It's the same reason why society look down on male sexual predators (teachers), but no big deal is made with female sexual predators who are teachers. I think it's looked at more as sexual when the woman is involved, when the male is older it's look at as he is taking advantage of a younger chick. It's that woman is a victim mentality!

    The thing about being a male is that you suffer a lot in ya younger years, socially speaking, but you age like wine and have it smooth past 30, if you prepare for it. No cougar for the male; only paid off work.

    Because when people think of older male/younger female couples they think of stuff like "? ", "gold digger", and "Hugh Hefner". They basically think the man is in it for the sex. However, that is not the case all the time. I've seen some cougers with some sugar baby men.

    well i would assume the man is definitely in it for the sex; who wants to listen to a young chick babble all day about twitter and young money and all that other dumb ? they're into?

    but i'd also assume the lady cougar is in it for the sex too.

    a (female) cougar knows that the only thing she had in her younger years-? -is fading, she now offers it with ease, and even teaches young dudes some tricks to make sex better.

    Because a rusty ass key ain't opening no new lock, but you find a new key for a rusty lock and you might just unlock all kinds of treasure.

    Or something like that...

    lol, i love it

    and i have no idea what you're talking about t/s, i'm pretty positive society is more cool with a 40 year old man dating an 20 year old girl than it is with a 40 year old woman dating a 20 year old man. it's pretty much expected at this point, that the 40 something year old divorced/single man will get him a young chick, while giving them sex-crazed cougars the side-eye

    we're talking about american society not that ? muslim ? yo.

    So what's the age range for a "cougar" anyway, before it gets to the point to where it just looks wrong?

    i wasn't talking about that either. show me where in american society are people more cool with seeing a 40 year old woman dating a 20 year old man than the reverse? i've never seen that. being a cougar is still pretty taboo from everything i've seen, where as the reverse is more widely accepted.

    let me put it like this, do you see more of the 40 yr old man, 20 yr old girl couples or do you see more cougar couples?

    Well there's this popular tv show called Cougar Town... and on the other side of the coin you have To Catch a Predator.

    There will never be an age where I won't ? a girl 18 and up, unless she's still in high school. Thats the only line I draw.

    Because men have been stigmatized very badly. If they aren't with someone with 10 yrs of their age, it must be because he's a ? , because society has been condition that all men are predators.

    Its weird though, because men gain sex appeal with age (n/h), and women lose it entirely past a certain age.
