Cougar Survey

[londoncalling]

I have a few questions for all the "cougars" out there, because I'm curious.

1. Do younger men usually approach you or do you usually have to approach them?

(By "approach," I mean, be the one to ask on a date first or make the first move.)

2. What's the typical age range of younger men you date?

3. What part of the world do you live in?

4. How long do your relationships with younger men usually last?

I'm a woman, 39 years old, single, never been married, no kids. I live in New York City, and I'm in contact with a wide variety of men. But the majority of men who want to date me are in the mid-20s to early 30s. I should also mention that I don't look my age (most people tell me I look 24 to 28 years old), so I know that's a big reason why most men who want to date me are younger than I am.

Many of the single women I know who are my age have dated much-younger guys but the relationships don't tend to last very long, so that's why I'd like to hear from other "cougars" from around the world to see what your experiences have been.

Londoncalling....why don't you post a pic of you so we can see what you look like?
I get told I don't look 40 all the time. I get carded once in a while too. I think it is pretty cool. Most of the guys say I look super young in person.
1. Do younger men usually approach you or do you usually have to approach them?

(By "approach," I mean, be the one to ask on a date first or make the first move.)
Yup most of them ask me out. I never ask them out.

2. What's the typical age range of younger men you date?I prefer 23-27 year olds, but I do like some 18-30 year olds..lol

3. What part of the world do you live in?I live in oklahoma right now..ughh

4. How long do your relationships with younger men usually last?not long because I break them off.

Buni, thanks for your reply. I'd rather not post my photo at this time. (I'm kind of a private person.) But I know I don't look my age, because people are always shocked when they find out my age. (I'm currently 39.) Most people tell me that I look like I'm in my mid-to-late 20s.

But here are my answers to the survey questions...

1. Do younger men usually approach you or do you usually have to approach them?

(By "approach," I mean, be the one to ask on a date first or make the first move.)

They usually approach me, and I think it's usually because they assume I'm around their age. When I tell them my age, some of them have a problem with it and lose interest, but most don't.

2. What's the typical age range of younger men you date?

25 to 35


3. What part of the world do you live in?

New York City

4. How long do your relationships with younger men usually last?

Less than six months. And we don't break up over the age difference. We usually break up because he gets too possessive or he has too many issues with an ex.

I will settle down when I find Mr. Right.
