Do Cougars Really Exist?
It is time for the ladies to chime in on a new study about the emergence of cougars. For over 10 years, there has been talk about cougars, who are not just in the jungle, but also in the world of dating. Cougars are defined as women, usually over 40, who hunt younger men, or cubs, and shower them with a tantalizingly experienced kind of love — and lots of ABBA music, according to Time.com.
Some celebs are defined as cougars including 47-year-old Demi Moore who is married to 32-year-old Ashton Kutcher. Plus, there are shows like Cougar Town and countless websites.
But, according to Time.com, Michael Dunn doesn't agree. The researcher at the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff, Dunn has just released a study that he insists renders the cougar craze a "myth." He says there is no sizable number of women seeking younger men, and in fact it's just the opposite, that women wanted men their own age or older and richer.
Let us know what you think about cougars: Myth or Reality?

I believe in cougars otherwise I don't think I could go on. POWER to the cougars!!!
Yup they are real, I have the scratch mark scars to prove it!!
It's a myth! I am a woman over 40 who has dated mostly younger men in the past 10 years. I'd like to clarify that the term "cougar" connotes "predator" but I don't go out hunting for younger men. They are the ones that approach me. I'd love, however, to be approached by an older and richer man.

1. If a woman was 60 (ha ha ha) - you would not have your job except for the 60 year old woman's enormous commitmment over the past 40 years to open doors in the workplace - particulary the media;
2. If a woman was 60 she might not have had a date for the past 20 years since many "older men" prefer young arm candy. It's a short time between "younger woman" and couger;
3. If a woman was 60 she would be sexy, vital, attractive and interesting and a consumer.
4. I often watch your morning news show while getting ready for work. The next time you share a communal laugh about "a woman who is 60" I won't be watching.
Hi please let Sukanya know that 60 year old 'Cougars' are something to laugh about. I will be 60 in 3 1/2 years from now. I am no way a "Cougar" But just wanted Sukanya who I love, to know 60's is the new 50's although im not quite there yet!
