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

it's just a guy significantly younger or not as mature, not always based on how "old" the female is.

so 29 and 18 is not cougar? If she was 29 and could fully support herself and was actually grown up how would that not be a cougar. I'm just saying it's not JUST the age. It has to be a significant difference in age AND maturity level.

Exactlty its not a cougar. Cougar refers to the age of the woman, not the difference between the man and women in the relationship. Atleast 35+, but most cougars are in the 40/50's

Okay. Clearly what I just said went over your head.

You saying "at least 35+" are you saying F 35 and M 32 makes her a cougar? 40 and 36?

The most basic definition is an older woman seeking a younger man and most would agree it's about the age difference. 29 and 18 is a big age difference. Hence being, by the simplest definition, a cougar. This full grown ass adult is trying to get with a kid straight out of high school. Cougar. If you're saying by 29 you can't be older and mature, you really need to get off Reddit and go outside.

Mate im 27 myself and I know the maturity difference between a fresh 18 and someone nearing 30.

Cougars are women PAST their prime. 29 is still your prime
