Why Cougars Went Extinct

[bigneil]

Suddenly it is so clear: The Cougar trend came to an abrupt end in 2008 - not coincidentally with the Bankster Bailout and Housing Bubble crash.

Why did this effect them? Easy.

Cougars were primarily attractive women born in the 1960's and 1970's who had divorced their husbands and got the house in the settlement circa 1998-2008. With this being during the housing bubble, many of them took a home equity loan. Suddenly they became like men: flush with cash and looking for some hot, young bodies.

Then came their reality check: the credit crash, when we learned that you actually do need to have a job to have a house. You can't just live off the appreciation of the house forever. They never were good at math.

Now we can clearly see that there really aren't a lot of hot women who generate enough for themselves and a man and are willing to finance a boy-toy. Those women were simply spending their ex-husband's hard-earned money, along with the imaginary home equity wealth (that they pretended to have generated by watching soap operas and being a receptionist for 20 years). Then it ran out - and turned into real debt. Most of them are probably bankrupt and living with nana now, and as we know, they didn't reproduce. Funny how Sex and the City went away around then too.

RIP Cougars.

A lot of women like that in my hometown

 

[Jaylan]

Um no, plenty of older gals are dating younger guys. In my local (nyc metro area) while most people date folks their age, plenty of older men and women are dating younger.

Here you are again fixated on the age, resources, and dating habits of other people (and again putting them down). Id say today, more than ever, there are a lot of women with money or dating younger men. They arent the norm, but the trend hasnt decreased as much as you think. There was a recently bumped thread on female breadwinners. Trust me dude...women are making their own cash nowadays and quite a few are still trying to run down young dudes.

Ummm here's why that's a problem!! Wow..just wow!!

Hot tip gaylan, men in their mid 20's don't use the word "gal" in every post. You might want to knock that on the head if you're gonna keep this whole "male" thing going.

Hot tip gaylan, men in their mid 20's don't use the word "gal" in every post either. You might want to knock that on the head.

And you might wanna hop off my nutz b!tchboy . You dont get tired of following me around threads, do you ankle biter?

And btw, gal or gyal, is a word nearly all men of Caribbean influence use to describe women. Having grown up around these folks, I use the word.

I like you Neil, and I get what you are saying about the economy. But I respectfully disagree that the sun has set on cougars.

Where I live, I would say about 40+ percent of relationships has the man slightly younger. Now I understand that that isn't "cougar-ism" in it of itself, but it does happen.

Despite the poor economy, a lot of women still have decent stable jobs. Some even make more than men. Some just want a boy toy or younger stiff dik.

Plenty of divorcees go younger too. They have $$ because they took their ex-hubby to the cleaners. Then they loose some weight and find a younger guy in order to prove she still "has it."

Have I seen less cougs at the bar lately? Yes. But I'm not sure that they are extinct yet or even endangered yet.

Do they also sound like angry 40 year old women pretending not to sound angry through fake nonchalance or feigned shock by beginning every post with "lol", "wow...just wow" and "Ummm" ?

You've got to be f-cking kidding. Shall I direct the readers here to about 1000 posts of yours on LS where you and a few other age-obsessed gynocrats instantly flame any man who dates younger women or claims to attract younger women? or tells women to avoid dating anyone more than a few years older without any consideration of context whatsoever? You couldn't be more of a baldfaced hypocrite and liar in the above quote.

Go check out his posts on LS if you want to see a real sassy sally show, he's much different on this forum. In fact, his posts here and there are like night and day.

Anyway to the topic, cougar was a MSM female empowerment meme that kind of backfired, so was shelved. Cougars didn't really disappear, they were always there and still are. OP, try to avoid letting media frame your experience of sexuality and male-female relations, it's all bullsh-t.

Ive never seen someone follow a poster all around a forum to continually flame them the way you do. Then again, most of your posts are basically you flaming someone. But what am I saying?...we should expect that a manospambot is a professional troll. Keep up the good work bro.

Bull fvking sh!t. On LS I tell young girls to avoid older dudes who only want sex if its clear the woman wants more than that. Same way Ill tell a younger dude to avoid an older gal if shes trying to settle down and its clear he aint looking for that yet. Youll also see me tell both men and women to go for it if they are on the same page.

Your problem here and over there was that you have a habit of confirmation bias. You seem to always ignore the meat and potatoes of my posting history, latching onto crap that you may dislike.

Please go find my posts bro. Because I can show you dozens of me telling people to date whoever they want as long as they both want the same things.

lmao...the only difference is that here I can be more abrasive without worrying about mods bothering me. One wont get the biggest amount of leeway on LS.

Way to end your post by basically saying the exact fvking thing I said in my first post (that cougars didnt go anywhere) lmao

Galyan, if we were all in the military, you would be the one who we hold a sheet over, and beat with bars of soap in a sock. We would also harrass you till you go UA ( unauthorized absence).

Don't worry there are lots of weak a$$es like you who actualy make it through basic training, because they arn't careful enough to drop weak people like you.

I'm sure you support women being in infantry (which will never happen in my branch, they will push them to the point they break mentally or physically) and Im sure you support homos being in the military.

Your not progressive, your ideas and other people with similar ideas are the reason we now cater to the weak in our society, and enable it more and more to behave in that way. Your ideas are counterproductive.

Idk who actually likes sh!t you say, but they are just as bad as you.

Funny dude, because I know for a fact that b!tch-made loud mouths like you wouldnt do sh!t in real life. You have no real idea about my life or my ability to stand up to or endure adversity.

That said, you couldnt harass me, because you'd get destroyed for trying any stupid ish. Believe that dude. I dont stay in the gym just for fitness or looking good. Im also in there so I can also deal with weak punks that have big mouths. I surely hope you dont talk this big or act this stupid in real life...because youll fvk with the wrong person and end up in the hospital or dead.

Believe that.

Women in infantry? If she can actually keep up with the men and excel, then sure. As it stands, women are at a great disadvantage when it comes to strength and agility when compared to men. So itd be a very rare and elite woman to even barely keep up with guys.

Now if a gay dude wants to serve our country....who fcking cares? There are gay dudes in different professional sports that are a lot more athletic and masculine than you. If a gay dude is able and willing to defend freedom, why the fvk not?

Now, if youre done flaming and derailing the topic, kindly fvk off.

I really feel like a 40 year old married woman just wants to feel pretty.

If she's been married for 10+ years already, she's sick of her husband and probably wanting excitement.

I work with this woman, let's call her "Angie". Now, she's overweight so I would not do her, but I can tell that she's craving some man meat elsewhere. These married people I don't know how they do it every day - dealing with the same person day in and day out (spouse), taking care of kids, doing groceries, etc. I mean they are practically dead after 40.

What a coincidence! It was on this date 6 years ago, May 30, 2008, that Sex and the City (the Movie) officially flopped at theatres, being certified rotten on RT at 50%. The 2010 follow up flopped over 3 times worse, being rated an abysmal 15% on RT. This was mainly because fans of the show couldn't afford the tickets by that point, never mind take young male dates.

Not coincidentally (and I swear I hadn't researched this beforehand), the show premiered in 1998 along with the housing bubble. 1998 was also the year they started advertising prescription medications directly (DTC marketing, which had been illegal but which they now portray as a public service announcement).

First, the average marriage is 5 years. Second, you don't deserve excitement for being sick. And please don't turn this into a pity party, skinnyguy. Carrie Bradshaw was not a sweet woman who just wanted to feel pretty. She was an uber-b*tch, uber-sl*t who said things like "Once a man hits 30 if he's not married it's like the Universe saying 'don't reproduce me!'". Feminists deliberately went about doing all the things they hated men for doing. But for men it was functional, and for women it was dysfunctional to seek younger mates based on physical attractiveness. That show was not about liberating ideas percolating up, it was part of a planned, top-down, anti-family agenda called Feminism. And the results were not pretty. Look what it did to Jaylan.

Here is the typical Cougar story from back in the day. In 2006, when I was 35, I picked up this pretty 37 year old woman and we made out, and then she said "How old are you?" and I told her and she laughed out loud and said "You are WAY too old for me!!" Her best friend told me she tried to warn me about her. That was a typical Cougar - some type of unnatural, media-induced, prescription medicated monster. Not some lonely, underappreciated soul.

RIP Cougars.

Why would I waste my time to go find your posts on LS? If anyone was interested, they can easily go to LS themselves and find many posts of yours jumping on the "older man predator-stranger danger-abuse culture" bandwagon in thread after thread over years with no reasoning attached whatsoever. I just wanted to point out your blatant hypocrisy when the topic is older women dating younger men instead of older men dating younger women.

 

[bigneil]

Hot tip gaylan, men in their mid 20's don't use the word "gal" in every post. You might want to knock that on the head if you're gonna keep this whole "male" thing going.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ( . )( . ) again.

Great detective work boobs. In the OP I thought to end with "And now, Jaylan will offer a counterpoint". But instead I'll just say "Made her look!" I set a fem trap and... snap!

I like you Neil, and I get what you are saying about the economy. But I respectfully disagree that the sun has set on cougars.

I see. I am mainly referring to TX, NYC and the CA Bay area in my experience, where I dated women 12+ years younger (not counting hookers) in the past year (and I'm not from any of those areas). Different areas are vastly different. Move!

Note: I did date one girl 3 years older, and another 7 years older recently. I'm not against it, but there is no longer a national trend nor do I observe it nearly as frequently as I did (mostly in Orlando 2004-2008).

^For a guy whos posting history shows clear evidence of insecurity as well as an inability to attain high quality chicks, you sure spend a lot of time trying to criticize the dating habits of others. Seems to me that you create these threads for your own ego.

Put up or shut up. Simple. I know what I said, so please stop trying to misrepresent it. I see youve joined the flame d!k riding crew with our manospambot :yawn:

 

[Jaylan]

^What was incorrect about what I said?

1. Teenagers dating men over 40 is not the norm. Weve been over this, most people date their contemporaries.

2. Guys here highlight the fact that young women here have daddy issues or other glaring problems alllll the time.

3. Lets be real...we know its about sex. And if you look at the context of that thread and others on LS, youd realize certain infamous posters there were sniffing around chicks under 18. Hence why I mentioned legality.

4. Notice how at the end, I said the same damn thing I said here. If people arent on the same page it isnt cool.

5. Lets not start pretending men dont control society. And lets not rehash the scientifically faulty thinking that one gender ages at a higher rate than the other.

Happy sleuthing

There was another significant factor behind the Cougar trend. Circa 2000, in the US, there were 6 single men for every single woman of childbearing age who was never married/no kids. Generation X'ers remember well what it was like at a college party circa 1988-2002 with 6 girls and 35 other guys (most of them 6-10 years older, with cars and money). And what did the girls tend to do when it was 6-1 guys? All 6 guys, eventually, one by one. And there were no dates anymore. It was the "hang out, hookup culture" that even Playboy magazine condemned at the time. Women stayed out until last call and went home with whoever had the stamina (male, female and often both) to keep up with her raging alcoholism and newly discovered bisexuality. This allowed them to start adoring gay men, who were "so mint", they went to all night, cocaine-fueled "Raves" together, and anal sex became the new trend, during the AIDS epidemic (when we believed the hysteria). Then they realized they all had HPV (or worse). Why didn't I ever get married, they ask. What was wrong with me, they wonder.

Given lots of money in home equity and a market teeming with horny men, all these middle-aged women (often the same college ho's 5 years later) needed in order to join the orgy was a corrupt soap opera to go viral and a divorce lawyer. Then they could just start every sentence with "It's like on Sex and the City..."

Generation X was a sad era to be a single man, let me tell you.

 

[Jaylan]

I dunno, I just thought it was interesting that you denied saying it when it is exactly what dasein described.

You asked him to sleuth, remember?

You quoted a post I made about TEENAGERS. I have very different opinions about grown men over 40 going after teenagers, vs a younger woman in her 20s dating an older man. So that post didnt contradict anything Ive ever said here regarding my feelings on age and dating. Id say the same thing if some cougar was trying to go after boys in high school or barely out of high school.

And actually, we had a poster here who was mid 30s and in relationship with a woman whos almost 50. Everyone, including myself, told the dude to get out of such an odd situation...especially given their relationship problems. Ive said the same thing to a couple of dudes over at LS who were busy wasting their 20s in a bad relationship with a woman much older than them who could run mental circles around those guys.

*shrug* though. What's funny is that many times Ive had women on LS swear that I hate women when I share my opinions on certain topics. Its similar to how certain dudes behave here...they cant stand that certain posters views dont fall in line with everything they personally think.
