All my life I have dated much older women who have seemed to enjoy my youth. Now I'm 42 and single again. I worry that older women are looking for men in their 20s and 30s nowadays. Younger women are pretty but they don't interest me.

" Older women "cougars" with younger men, do not represent a healthy relationship for either person.

I have done "cougars" myself twice and both times it was fun and cool, but afterward both times remain as sad memories from my past.

And now young (20-30) women are way to immature for us older Men.

The best match is an equal partner of near the same age and status. "

" Well I figure I might as well get into this deeper.

If we look at human beings as animals, and compare humanity to wildlife, and particularly compare us to Lion groups / prides, then older cats get kicked out and the younger bucks impregnate the older lioness queens.

Society has simply created rules and ways that resist our animal instincts and the inner animal will often come out anyway.

So in considering your life-style of your youth in that way, then now the female cougars have put you out to pasture. "

" Im a gorgeous 40 year old blk female involved with a mature 25 yr old emplyd blk man. The relationship has been going strong for 9 mnths. He is more mature than my 54 yr old ex ever dreamed of. We have established a mutual respect for one another. I do NOT want to be called a Cougar or any other ref that society is using. I did not seek out this man, I did not seduce him, I am not his "Sugah Mama". And I don't need him to look up to me-I have kids for that. Perhaps, I could have responded differently when we met, but he is gorgeous, and I would have missed out on a wonderful man.

" Dynajone, I do have a few questions. Do you look in the mirror every day fearing the toll the years are taking? Are you more self-conscious about yourself being with a much younger man? Do you wonder if he has "roaming eyes", looking at younger women? Do you wish that you were younger? Do you know enough about your much younger partner to know how he felt/feels about his mother?

Lots of questions, but I'm feeling so curious today! LOL! "

" If two people are looking for a lifetime commitment so they can have the house, kids, picket fence etc, then being the age is probably somewhat important.

If two people simply like each other and like some of the same things and like spending time together, what has age to do with it?

As far as I am concerned, not all relationships are meant to last the rest of ones life. "

" I like being a cougar. So whatever happens happens. If it works it works if not oh well. Relationships with older men do not always work out either so who cares about age. Life is too short to start worrying about numbers. "
