Cougar Relationships
Since I first started to write about the
cougars, all hell has broken loose. "Age of Love" a dating
competition like "The Bachelor" is pitting Cougars, ranging in
age from 39 to 48, against Kittens, all in their 20's. The older
women compete with the younger ones for the affections of a
30-year old Australian tennis player.
On "Saving Grace", a TNT series beginning this
month, Holly Hunter will play an Oklahoma sheriff with a
ravenous appetite for cigarettes, booze and sex with younger
men. Glenn Close also returns to TV in July staring in "Damages
on FX. These series are tapping into baby boomers' who refuse to
sit back and let a younger generation take over.
Here's my gripe about all this Cougar mania. I
don't like how Cougars are being portrayed. To me a Cougar, is
an intelligent, confident, beautiful women with a positive
presence that has taken years to develop. She is definitely not
a seedy, desperate women skulking after younger men in bars.
Genuine Cougars, the Cougars I know and love aren't the cheap
imitations. They would never be willing to abandon their values,
merely to gain the attention or the affection of the opposite
sex. Women who do that are desperate and genuine Cougars and
certainly not that.
A real Cougar chooses to fully embrace all of
her beauty and brilliance no matter what age she is. She is
ageless beauty, and the smart leader. She is a woman who knows
what she wants and how to get it. She knows she has a lot to
offer the right man. Yes, she is attracting the attention of
younger men, but that's a bonus, only if she chooses it. She
knows knows how to take care of her lovers, but more
importantly, she knows how to take care of herself. She is
disciplined and works hard to eat well and exercise both her
body and her mind. She knows aging is inevitable – how we age is
always our choice!
Achieving the rank of Cougar is a privilege not
an embarrassment. But,even as I write these words, I know that
being a Cougar isn’t that easy for many of us, especially when
it comes to sex and feeling sexy. A narrow image of womanhood is
handed to us both by popular culture and mainstream culture and
those images, the ones which become as true to us as the very
language we speak, can keep us from having a satisfying sex
life.
But here’s the good news. Even with all the
physiological shifts that we go through as we age, the truth is
that a fully sensual life has far less to do with our changing
bodies than it does with our own belief system. Start to think
Cougar and watch what happens!
Cougars are married ladies and single gals too.
They are 40 and they are 60. It's every women who believes in
herself and wants to enjoy life to the absolute fullest.
