Why Cougar Dating Is Here To Stay

By Saja Duarte

Cougar dating is the when a mature, sophisticated women prefers to date and be in the company of a younger man. Normally cougars are women in their 40's,50's and 60's, but the trend is becoming so hot that 30 something cougars are on the rise.

More and more we see women in their 40's, 50's and 60's looking better than ever, and need I dare say, hotter than many of their younger counterparts. These women have the confidence and the experience to now know to make better relationship decisions then they did their first time around in their 20's.

There was a time when young women were encouraged to date and marry older men as these men were thought to be more mature, secure and more stable. That all may still be true, but having fun was never an option for these women. After years succumbing to societies taboo's, it was Hollywood celebrities which started to really bring cougar dating into the national eye.

Women during this time years ago, was looked upon to take care the children, cleaning the house and satisfying their husbands. As a result, this may have lead to women feeling less of a person because there might have been a feeling of unfulfilment or a feeling of being less than a person.

In today's society, women serve more as an equal partner than a silent one. Not only that, but there are more women who feel more comfortable being more aggressive in all aspects of life. That includes the aspect of dating and dating younger men. This type of attitude and assertivness has developed the cougar dating trend. Older women dating younger men is no longer something that is "unusual", and to be quite honest, there are a lot of men who like this.

These confident, cougar-minded women learned by experiences from their past relationships. They are able to feel more empowered in relationships because of what they had to do to survive. This naturally has made these women more self-dependant than ever before. This is actually one of the attributes that younger men like...experience. Experience means less "clingy" which all men tend to not like.

In conclusion, cougar dating is much more widespread and more accepting in today's society because we see it as a part of life. When you have famous people like Hollywood celebs doing it, than the people that admired them through their acting will start eventually doing also. People of the old fashion attitude, will just have to deal with it as the situations arises.
