When Cougars Strike

By: Sarah Sibley (View Profile)

1. The powerful executive. She's the queen of the jungle, and she's made a very lucrative career for herself. She expects a lot of attention, but rewards it handsomely. In fact, she just expects—from everyone. She has worked hard to create a certain kind of lifestyle of beauty, power, style, and position, and she isn’t about to let any of it go. She’s completely independent and has no need for companionship, unless of course, it’s naked companionship. She hunts her prey very carefully, because this queen cougar has a reputation to uphold.


2. The standard cougar. Her carefree confidence and equally carefree wardrobe let you know she couldn’t give a damn about what society expects her to wear “at her age.” She chooses low cut tops and midriff-revealing tops that show off her belly-button ring. And why shouldn’t she? She’s spent more time in the gym perfecting her shape than most people spend sleeping. She’s earned the right to flaunt it


3. The Euro-coug. A rare species sighting, she is the ex-pat whose hunt for prey has brought her to the Promised Land—and she’s taking every advantage of the jungle. She’s had a more sexually enlightened upbringing—Europe being the motherland of acceptable nudity—so she’s adventurous, to say the least.

All species of cougar will teach their young prey the ways of the world. The young men a cougar craves are naïve to the ways of women—how to treat them, wine them, dine them, and make them feel like the queens they are. Cougars love to mold these young studs into their own perfect male play toys. But, like most wild animals, the cougars tire of raw meat once it loses its flavor, so she leaves the young cub to find a fresh catch. Perhaps the cougar feels she’s spent her life doing what men tell her; now it’s her turn. If men are allowed to set high expectations for what they want from a woman, then women should be allowed to do the same, no matter what their age.

The dens of most cougars are, for the most part, high-end and expensive. She hasn’t remained single, independent, and powerful to end up at Ladies-Drink-For-Free night at the airport HoJo. She frequently prowls hotel bars—nothing less than a W Hotel—as this is where you can find young, traveling, prey alone and vulnerable. She likes the sushi restaurant, the steakhouse, or any restaurant with $25 plates.

Oooh, it feels a little bit dirty, a la Mrs. Robinson, but hey, modern times, modern ways.

It's true that for years, men have been doing the same things Cougars are now doing and getting pretty much no flack for it whatsoever. If being successful and going after what you want makes a woman a Cougar, then sign me up, I'm ready.

Yeah, the best part for women is coming to a place where you are meeting your own needs...and then striking out when you want to.
