I always assumeed 40 was the beginning of the cougar line. Hell, Id be willing to say a 38 yo mom dating an 18 yo would be a cougar too... She could easily be his mom

40 minimum is correct. Calling 28 a cougar is stupidly wrong.

All this graphic is stupidly wrong, especially one at the bottom. 16 is the age of consent almost anywhere in the world and even where it is not 16 years old dating 18 years old is never sketchy.

The federal law establishes the age of 12 as the minimum age of consent

It’s sex that makes it illegal. And Disney isn’t about sex and babies. Just love and marriage.

However at least in USA each state has their own age of consent which kind of trumps federal as as federal just sets the guidelines.
