According to the great
Wikipedia:
Cougar refers to an older woman, usually in her 40's who sexually pursues younger men or women.
That jives pretty well with my understanding of it. If you're an older woman dating or pursuing men in your own age group, then that's not a cougar, that's just normal. Cougars are the ones that go after the younger guys (I guess because Cougars are a type of predator).
Based on posts I've seen from you in my time here, I don't get the feeling you're a cougar running around chasing the young fellers. Besides, you're only 35. That's not old at all.
