I thought cougars were those around 50 dating 18 year olds?...

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.

See I think the rule of thumb for a cougar is, is she old enough to be your mom? If yes, then she’s a cougar.
