In this society, cougars, or matured women dating men half their age, is not anymore frowned upon. In fact, in my honest opinion, it should be celebrated – envied even. Why? Point one: It is not easy to maintain such attractive qualities in aging women since your number one enemy is gravity itself. Everything in you sags and pulls so if you managed to be in your most attractive despite years then you truly are something! Point two: Snagging a date is hard but snagging a date half your date is astounding. Let’s face it, not everybody gets that bit of luck!

Take for example our favorite cougar Demi Moore, does she look anywhere near 50? Certainly not. So if you would like to land yourself a young man to date and be a certified cougar then dig into these simple tips and act now!

• Abandon all inhibitions. This seems to be the hardest of them all especially if you have been “Miss Prim and Proper” for too long that the title is now firmly attached to your forehead. If you would like to be a cougar then you must play the part unless you prefer to be living a double life like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
• Do a major makeover. If you have been monitoring fashion and trends, you know that what seems to be pleasing to the eyes 10-20 years ago are really hilarious nowadays. Good news is, you don’t have to sport that beehive-do or the raccoon eyes anymore when going out. Just buy yourself a couple of lifestyle magazines, burn the midnight oil familiarizing yourself with latest mod then hit the stores to update your closet. Just make sure that you are still age-appropriate. If you are not so sure, ask your friendly sales assistant and she’ll gladly help you choose what looks good on you.
• Invest on some really good undies. Yes, that’s right and no, I am not talking about Fruit-of-the-Loom-kind of undies but more of “Victoria Secret” kind. Your young stud would be delighted to see something like this underneath your clothes. Yes, comfy, grannie undies are definitely out.
• Avoid talking about your life’s lessons. Your grandkids would probably appreciate a little bit of that but definitely not your cub-date so cut the storytelling and do something spontaneous and fun.
• Be ready for some action. Not just closed door action but something that you definitely won’t do on your own like climbing Mount Everest or skinny dipping. You must remember, you’re asking for it, so you should be ready for it.
• It’s not all about sex. While it’s really hard to bag the right guy, as much as possible, try to date only the “potential mate” kind not the “one-night-stand” kind of guy. Except of course, if that is what you would really like to date.
