Cougars Now Have the Option of Dating Online

December 8th, 2009 Written by Tanya Mayer

It now seems that people can find whatever they are looking for online, and this does include young men. Apparently cougars, or older women that are into younger men, can now find their love online. Cougar dating website Cougar Life is advertising itself as a place for women who are in their prime to look for youthful men.

Of course, this is not just a website that is applying to older women. In fact, this website also tries to apply itself to younger men, who in fact, enjoy dating older women. Many movies nowadays, and other pop culture things, have put cougars in the spotlight.

So how is a site like this doing? Well apparently it is going great. The website creator noted that they have already had over 200,000 members join since the site launched back in February. The fast growth is more than likely brought on by the fact that the website has commercials that air on ESPN, Ellen, Howard Stern Show, and even Sirius Radio.

One goal the site has is to take the term “cougar” and give it a reinvented image. The site no longer wants the word cougar to be viewed as an offensive term. The owner of the site says that the old meaning of the word was invented a long time ago. Today they want to show that a cougar is a woman that simply enjoys the company of a younger man and that guys who are into cougars enjoy being with an experienced woman.

However, it has been noted that this site is just another dating site; nothing more, nothing less. The site is made for women who are looking for younger men, or the other way around.
