Cougars

On Top Chef last week, one of the teams named themselves "The Cougars" after one of the ladies, who is in her early 40s.
She seemed flattered.
When I get to be her age, would I find it flattering to be called a cougar?
Not sure.
But, if someone called me a cougar today, I would punch them in the mouth.
Hard.

As a woman in her early 40's, I don't think being called a cougar would be flattering. A punch is appropriate.

Cougars are NOT cool. The guys think they are pathetic and I pity them.

Look who just got herself a new nickname!!!! I will probably shorten it to Cougs though.

Take it easy Cougs.

You remember that you are going to be at my house in two weeks right, mr. b?

Are you testing me to see if I'll actually punch you in the mouth?

I was talking to my boyfriend recently about how the cougars seem to flock to him (seriously...I have to fight them off). He so kindly reminded me that I will be a cougar too some day.

I now call myself "Cougar in Training," or C.I.T. for short.

According to UrbanDictionary.com, a cougar is, "An older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man. The cougar can be anyone from an overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim, to an absolute sad and bloated old horn-meister, to a real hottie or milf. Cougars are gaining in popularity -- particularly true hotties -- as young men find not only a sexual high, but many times a chick with her shit together."

I think there should be different levels of cougars. While I wouldn't mind beina a "real hottie" or a "milf", I have no interest in being a "overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim" or a "sad and bloated old horn-meister."

Also, I like to think of the husband as permanent, so hopefully trolling bars is not in my future in a decades time.
