Definitions of cougar: do you indentify with them?

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Wikipedia: Cougar—a woman, 40[4] years of age or older, who pursues younger men, typically more than eight years her junior.[5] The origin of the word is debated; however, it is thought to have first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com[6] and has been used in TV series, advertising and film. The 2007 film Cougar Club was dedicated to the subject and in Spring 2009 TV Land aired a reality show called The Cougar. The sitcom Cougar Town explores the difficulty and stigma of many so-called “Cougars”.

Urban Dictionary: A 35+ year old female who is on the “hunt” for a much younger, energetic, willing-to-do-anything male. The cougar can frequently be seen in a padded bra, cleavage exposed, propped up against a swanky bar in San Francisco (or other cities)waiting, watching, calculating; gearing up to sink her claws into an innocent young and strapping buck who happens to cross her path. “Man is cougar’s number one prey”

Question: Women do you pursue younger men or do they pursue you?

Cox favours ‘Cougar Town’ name change

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Courteney Cox has suggested that she would like the name of her show Cougar Town to be changed.

The programme’s executive producer Bill Lawrence recently confirmed that he is considering a different title for the series as the premise has changed since the pilot.

Cox, who stars in the show as Jules, has now claimed that the current name could be misleading.

“We’ve been talking about [a name change] for a long time,” she told Access Hollywood. “I don’t know if it’s going to happen or not. I don’t know… I honestly don’t know.”

She continued: “This show is not just for women. It’s for women and men. It’s funny. It’s crazy. It’s kooky and you know it’s heartfelt and it’s all of that. So… we don’t want people to get misled by the name Cougar Town. It’s just about trying to get what the real show is about and we may do it or we may not.”
