I personally think you are not a cougar unless you have had a face lift and are wearing a leopard-print camisole to show off your new breasts.
Everybody else who finds younger men attractive is called "able to see."
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I concur with Nutty in this matter. Also, a cougar's skin is often tanned to the breaking point.

Because books.
A 23-year-old kid at work told another one of the girls he likes to date cougars. I kind of flinch whenever he talks to me, since he's sort of weird and weirdly flirty.
Cougar = Mrs. Robinson for me.

Finding someone attractive and dating them are two different things.

I'd pretty much date any available person I'm attracted to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right now I have that luxury. I don't have any romantic plans I could mess up by dating the "wrong" attractive person, so why not?
eta: But then I guess you have to look at what "attractive" means to you--for some it could stop at sexy, for others it goes as far as wanting to make them soup.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Unfortunately the only available attractive people I meet are students, and while I am not their teacher, that still seems wrong unless they were closer to my age and more importantly, not in my department. I would certainly date a grad student.

I think you're only a cougar if you deliberately go after younger men/boys. If it's not a normal thing, you're just a cradle-robber.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Most of the cons I attend these days don't have the jerkhole groper behavior mentioned above. Of course, a lot of the cons I attend now are small (300 people at most) and most people know each other. (Also, there may be lap sitting and other wenchy behavior at the auctions, but no unwanted attention)
