Thank you, everyone, for your responses! Whether I am in cougar in training that is possible... but I am hoping that by the time I am 50 I will be happily married and out of the dating scene (have never been a big fan of it).

Also thanks for the contributions on what exactly a cougar is. My experience with older women dating younger men has been limited to... me. I know of no one besides myself who is female and has dated down in age. One of my clients mentioned to me her mother's husband is 15 years younger than the mom... and on another forum I know a poster who is 60+ and has adopted an I just want to have fun attitude. She is juggling 3 younger men right now, although all her "cubs" are married. >_< But those two are my experience of knowing older women with younger men.

As it is, most of the vibes I get is that of a stigma, especially from my mom. She likes to pretend that my current relationship status doesn't exist, but she is getting better.

C_M, that sucks about your birthday! Princess Di's death is one of 3 major world events that I remember exactly where I was when it happened. Having your birthday on her funeral is like getting married on Sept. 11 or being born on Christmas.

Valerie, thank you for mentioning Ageless, I started posting there yesterday.
