Heard on Sports Talk Radio
I just got home from my Saturday morning coffee run. For the record, I got a 20 oz. coffee with cream at Hess Express for $1.92, rather than Starbucks. While driving over to the store, I was listening to WDAE here in Tampa and happened to hear a radio spot for a web site called Cougar Life.
It became clear pretty quickly this was not an ad for any type of nature conservancy or hunting program. Nothing like that. It was a commercial for a dating site here guys could sign up to get connected with the hottest single moms and divorcees.
And not old gray haired geezers like me, this is for the young dude hankering for someone with some experience, or for that for experienced divorcee or hot single mom who just can’t get enough.
What is Cougar Life?
According to their web site, Cougar Life is the premier online dating service that pairs women in their prime with younger men and ends the double standard!
This would presumably be the double standard where old guys like me get our choice of all the hot young babes out there waiting for us to pick them out of the crowd and invite them to hit the town with us. For the record, I’m married - but everybody knows this is how the single half of my age demographic obviously gets to live!
Let’s take a look at some more information from the Cougar Life site.
What is a Cougar?
Cougars are Women in their PRIME: independent, sexy and wildly successful. They enjoy men that are youthful, fit with the same zest for life. Cougars are classy, confident women that already possess many of the finer things in life — but now want the young, hot guy to go with it.
What is a Cub?
To snare a true Cougar a man needs to be youthful, fit, unintimidated and of course sexually driven! These men can range from athletes to intellectuals, and from technologists to entrepreneurs and all points in between; they can come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they have in common is the desire to possess a sexually charged older woman.
Are you sold yet? Apparently a lot of people already are. According to founder Claudia Openkelder, the site launched in February 2009 and has over 200,000 members. There are even specialized city sites for potetial cougars and boy toys.

What do you think? Does this site help end an unfair double standard? Is it just another way to make money by exploiting perceived social and sexual stereotypes?
Are “Cougars” really women in their prime who are just seeking happiness and fulfillment, or is this just another stereotyped expectation created by media and marketers that people somehow have to live up to?
Whether you are a cougar, a boy toy, or just a married geezer like me, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
