What's the evolutionary explanation for cougars and younger men?

Yep, agree allie. The older woman pounces on the younger boy, hence cougar.

Helen, ooooo la la. Seems to have gotten warmer here.

Doesn't have to be a boy.  They don't have a clue either.

You've got it a r s e about.  It's the younger man who has to be hot. 

Men their own age are not, which is why they look elsewhere.

It depends on the individuals concerned what their motivations are.

 What was your motivation to marry a man 36 years younger than you?

---

If I find a man 36 yrs younger than me who's willing to marry me, I'll let you know.

---

 You should probably let your husband know.......

Why would any good looking young guy want an older lady if they don't look good. Unless she is paying bucket loads of cash, not going to happen. A cougar has to be hot or she is just an old lady. No young guy is going to get kudos from is mates for bagging some ugly old lady

And some of us - 'old ladies' - are still pretty 'hot'.

[polksaladallie]

It is not about kudos from mates.   You need educating, Wilk

 Unattractive men, who are rejected by women their own age might be happy to get whatever they can......

Why would I as a 'prize' cougar - settle for a guy his own age group would forsake.

[wilk1149]

I'm not saying that an old lady can't be hot, been with a few myself.

Had plenty of teachers and am always up for a few more lessons

Plenty of young guys with older women but they keep it a secret

[wilk1149]

When you're a young guy it's all about bragging to the mates.
