I'm curious.... At what age is one considered a cougar? Does it vary depending on those involved or is there a definite line?
Thoughts??

Older women who go after significantly younger men = cougars.

What if an older woman does not go after the younger guy but he goes after her.. is she still a cougar if she dates him?

honestly, i think its a horrible term.
So it's a Canuck thang.Cougar is a slang term that refers to a woman who seeks sexual relations with considerably younger men. ABC News states that these women pursue sexual relations with people more than eight years younger than they are, while The New York Times states that the women are over the age of 40 and aggressively pursue sexual relations with men in their 20s or 30s. However, the term can also refer to any female who has a male partner much younger than herself, regardless of age or age difference.
The origin of the word cougar as a slang term is debated, but it is thought to have originated in Western Canada and first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com. It has also been stated to have "originated in Vancouver, British Columbia, as a put-down for older women who would go to bars and go home with whoever was left at the end of the night."
IMHO 'Cougar' conjures up the image of a mature upper-middle-class woman hunting young studs. The Wikipedia entry says:

Rather than age, I think it is the age difference. I would arbitrarily say, an age difference of more than 12 years.
I would pose a correlated question. Is the older woman still a cougar, if she is pursuing a younger woman, rather than a younger man?
My answer would be "yes".
Classic cougar film: Harold & Maude
Wooo, a moldy oldie! I remember watching that.
