I am 37 and I am dating a man who is 27. Does this make me a cougar?

sure does!!

No. You would be a cougar if you where 47 and he was 27 though

Yes. The reason being is it's really a five year range for dating like 32 would even be alright but 27.. he was an infant when you were 10 yrs old think about it. It necessarily isn't a bad thing.

haha no your having fun=)..now if you were a grandmother dating this guy then yeah maybe you would be a cougar but thats only my opinion of a cougar

you need to be above 40 to be a cougar, you are a puma... my mum is 42 and dating a 28 yr old. and im nearly 19.....

Nope, you are a puma- a woman in her 30s dating someone 10+ years younger.

Not if you are seriouse about him and not prowling around for young men just to sleep with them. Im 45 and my guy of 5 years is 23. People can call it what they want doesnt bother me Im secure with my choices.

do you want to be?

I don't know. Why care anyway what people think? If you don't look your age why care?

:-)

Maybe if you were dating a person in their early 20s and you were like 40 something I don't know.

IMO, yes, you are a cougar in my books

don't worry about it!

if you guys both have similar levels of maturity and intelligence, age isn't much of a factor

i dont know i guess my mom is 41 and her bf is 30
