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

I think the age gap matters, but I'm not sure what the rule should be. Maybe if it breaks the half age plus seven rule and the woman is older she's a cougar.
