We all know that one of the main reasons why men like dating cougars is because an older woman is more confident and self-assured – in day to day life and of course, from a sexual perspective. Throughout the ages of 27 – 45 women experience more sexual desires and are even more inclined to have casual sex and one-night stands. In contrast, men reach their sexual peak at a younger age and so it makes sense that younger men are better matched sexually, with an older woman.

So why is this? The science or theory behind a woman’s increasing sexual activity or desires is simply due to her fertility which declines with age. Therefore the hormones automatically react to this. It’s harder to get pregnant as you get older and the female body copes with this by wanting more sex. This lustful behaviour in older women isn’t a recent ‘trend’ – our female ancestors also experienced exactly the same feelings!

A psychologist named David Buss carried out a survey and asked 827 women to fill in questionnaires about their sexual habits. The survey concluded that women who had passed their peak fertility years but had not yet reached the menopause were the most sexually active. Regardless of whether these women were mothers, married or single, those in the age bracket of 27 – 45 were more sexually interested or active than those in their early 20’s.

So, if you are going to date a cougar – be prepared. Older women are proven to be more lustful, and now you know why!

The cougar dating phenomenon is now much more than a craze and for many women, it has become a lifestyle choice. To help us really get to grips with the idea of cougar dating and what makes cougar women tick, we decided to carry out an exclusive piece of research which provides an unprecedented insight into the views, preferences and lifestyles of modern women who exclusively date younger men.

So, we decided to ask over 100 women who are all self-proclaimed ‘cougars’ to complete a detailed survey which included questions such as-:

* How old is the average cougar and what is the typical age gap?
* Where is the best place for younger men to meet a cougar woman?
* Where is the ideal venue for a younger man to take a cougar on a date?

The answers from this piece of research have helped us to understand factors such as how women like their younger man to behave on dates, facts and stats, and what cougar women are really looking to get out of cougar dating. In turn this has helped us to build and develop Cougared.com to ensure our members are getting the most out of the site.

So, if you want to learn more about cougars and gain an insight into what makes them tick, take a look at our exclusive Cougar Report findings at http://www.cougared.com/report/.

There is absolutely no doubt that the cougar dating trend is on the increase but where are the best places for cougars to find their perfect younger guys?

According to Time Out Chicago it seems that the Chicago is definitely the place to be and last weekend it wasn’t just a couple of cougars who paid the city that never sleeps a visit, but a whole convention!

Yes, this was actually the 2nd Annual Cougar Convention where a huge group of cougars joined forces and took to the bar and dance floor of a Chicago hotel, proving that cougars are not just a type of woman who likes to date a younger guy, but in fact, as Time Out described ‘a movement’.

There has been a fair amount of opinion expressed about the word ‘cougar’. Some say they find the term offensive and sexist with the raw meaning of a cougar basically being an older woman on the prowl, out to manipulate and corrupt younger men.

Let’s face it; that’s a fairly old-fashioned perception of the term ‘cougar’ and thankfully time and attitudes have moved on. In recent years when older women and younger men have maintained very happy, fulfilled and successful relationships, the word cougar has gradually become one that women embrace and find flattering! With celebs such as Kim Cattrall, Demi Moore and Helen Mirren all renowned cougars, they are certainly not perceived to be conniving or manipulative but strong, confident, independent and beautiful women that most men of any age would love to date!

Today, cougars are now seen as sexy and desirable. Younger men are attracted to women who are self-assured and know what they want out of life and for women especially, these qualities all come and blossom with age and a woman is even said to be in her prime in her 40’s. Men find these qualities attractive and sexy and at the end of the day, would much rather date a confident woman in her 40’s as opposed to an insecure and dependant one in their 20’s.
