What age can someone be considered a cougar?

@Diggler: Doubtful. A young woman can't really be a milf, either. It would be like a 20-something calling himself a "dirty old man".

@bijouxbroussard: Actually, it's not like that at all. If you dissect the term "milf" , it refers to "mother", and does not specify the age of said mother. Some women have children when they are 18-21. They are therefore mothers, and assuming that men would like to....well, you can dissect the term "milf" yourself, than by definition alone, they most certainly qualify as a proper "milf".

A cougar refers to a woman who is older (not old as in old man), and who younger men are attracted to. I'm not sure who the rule makers are here, but if a woman in her 30's is attractive to young men in their late teens and early twenties, then she is in fact older, and in my opinion qualifies as a cougar if she so wishes to be so. :)

@Diggler: Well, the only folks I've known using it were classmates of young men with attractive mothers. Who would specify they wanted to "f" someone just because they have a child ? 🤔

@bijouxbroussard: I'm not sure, having not created the term myself, but by that logic, then maybe the term "milf" should be changed to "wilf". W=women, and keep it general, rather than specifically targeting M=Mothers. Mothers by definition are women who have children......specifically. Again, not my idea, but it is what it is. Perhaps ask your classmates why it matters .

@Diggler: To clarify: the first time I heard the term was decades ago when the college classmates of an older friend's [b]son[/b] were caught calling her and me "milfs" and we wanted to know what it meant. So rather than "asking classmates" I looked up the term and got the following:

"a sexually attractive older woman, typically one who has children."

thanks for the clarification. I think I got it kinda spot on, but who doesn't like reaffirmation? I was going to Wikipedia "mother", but I think we've exhausted the matter enough already. lol 👌

@Diggler: We probably have, but you didn't, really. Your definition would call an 18 year old mother of a toddler a "milf", simply because a 16 year old was interested. I don't think that's how it was intended.

@bijouxbroussard: O.k, and you can think what you want. The fact remains, a mother, by definition is a woman of no specified age, who has a child or children. If you want to assume an age requirement, go ahead. I prefer to take things at face value, and so I believe a milf is exactly what it says......word for word. I'm not assuming anything, nor am I adding or subtracting words from the original term. I assume that I have the right to do so. If you disagree, well then....we just have to agree to disagree. :)

@Diggler: I understand [b]context[/b]. But indeed, nothing to be gained by belaboring the point. Peace.

@bijouxbroussard: ✌
