A cougar is an older woman who is looking for a younger man. These women are usually happy to date a younger man because they are beautiful and confident. However, some psychologists believe that the reason why these women like to date younger men is that these young men did not receive enough attention from their mothers or they were too close to their mothers. However, this does not mean that toy boys cannot grow into mature gentlemen. The fact is that some men have no experience to begin a valuable relationship with a cougar..
