Why do younger men call us older women "cougars", even when we are not looking for any "cubs?

They like the feline association, plus the thought that they are "prey."

After having me, though, men just can't seem to look at another woman. It's my animal magnetism, or my gravitational pull; I can't decide which.

because your more mature, and on the prowl so to speak. its a woman thats looking for a young man to have a fling with, not a woman whos looking for kids

because the majority of younger men are very immature
