Am I the only one who finds "cougar" to be a real turn off as a term? It's the predatory part of it I hate. Specifically, hunting for prey. I don't like the implication of "prey" to be anywhere near the implication of sex.
ETA: But now that I am 40, I am feeling sensitive about shit like this.
I'm no cougar; I've never, ever, dated anyone younger. Closest to my age I've come is 5 years older, in fact.

No. Though I'm resigned to it.

I thought it referred to the tendency of those women to dress in leopard print.
(Hil, I ancestry.commed him, too. You are not alone.)
I got to be in Entertainment Weekly without being a sock and committing pseudicide.
This means I am BETTER THAN YOU, FASTEDDIEGUS.
Woot! Two 22-inch monitors are coming to my desk! More room for movies on Sundays when things are slow!
Oh, and Windows 7, which shouldn't be too bad, but I will miss XP.
Connie, Win 7 is awesome. I think you'll like the switch.

I think my biggest age gaps have been 12 years, in either direction. I could be a textbook cougar again. I got nothing against it. The word doesn't bother me--I understand that the strict application of the term is supposed to apply to hunters. But I'm more of a gatherer.

Ha! So your conquests are "firewood".
So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?
13 years difference, I opine (entirely ex cloaca).

Gudanov, get on this one.
