If age is the defining quality of a cougar, then is there anything else that determines whether or not a woman is a cougar?
Yes there certainly is - it's all about the attitude, baby. Cougars carry an aura of self-confidence with them that helps them to land the younger men they're pursuing.
A real cougar is proud of her ability to get younger men and she's not afraid to flaunt it. Read on to learn more about attitude and other key cougar characteristics:
Confidence Check
Attitude is an important factor in being a cougar. Many cougars flaunt their confidence as well as they flaunt their toned and tanned bodies. Cougars need to feel self-assured in order to compete with younger females.
This confidence can be an aphrodisiac for a younger man who's used to dealing with insecure younger women. Don't worry as much about hurting a cougar's feelings if you don't call after sex. Sure, it's nice if you call but if you don't she'll either call you or move on!
Of course there is the 'accidental cougar' that falls for a much younger man and ends up in a serious relationship, but these aren't the ladies that deserve the distinguished title of true urban cougar.
Their confidence will be apparent in how they interact with you at a bar or other public place. Although, they may allow you to make the first move - they always know what they want.
A cougar has seen her fair share of heartaches and heartbreaks, so now she is just looking for some fun. This means she won't take herself too seriously and will be willing to take things as slow or as fast as you'd like. She's not afraid to show her emotions, but in most cases her emotions will be light and playful.
Financial Independence
Many cougars are known to be generous benefactors to their younger male partners, but do they have to be wealthy? The answer is no they don't, but money can't hurt.
Since single older women often have careers and older children they can invest more time and money in themselves and usually have cash to spare. This is especially the case if they have had a generous divorce settlement.
Let's face the facts, this also makes them more appealing to younger men who are craving a financially independent woman. So money doesn't make the cougar, but it can definitely help her attract quality cougarbait.
Staying Power
It's known that many cougars will keep fit and trim to keep up with their younger competition. Cougars sometime will spend hours in the gym toning their bodies so they can look good. This can be a big incentive for younger guys to keep in shape with them.
You can be sure that a cougar is going to show you the time of your life, but she'll expect you to be able to keep up with her as well. This stamina also relates to life in general. She'll be ready to teach you a thing or to and maybe even learn from you, but she'll be hoping for an inquisitive pupil who is eager to learn from her experiences. If you are interested in a fit older woman with money, love and wisdom to share then what are you waiting for?
