FSU Cougars?

[2tallbill]

We have Cougars in the USA and their sisters in the FSU are
not going to be left out of this trend !!

Julia from St Petersburg

You should read her bio !! it's in Russian but looks right out
of the "discover your hidden cougar" training manual





Elena from Omsk

[2tallbill]

Venera
from Moscow
40 years old

The range for cougars includes the FSU.   A schoolmate of my Cossack woman is 47.  She dates RM only in their 20s and 30s.  I assume they don't talk about making blini.   
 
When I was searching profiles I recall many RW in their mid-40s having the maximum age for their partner as younger than their own age.
 
I see nothing wrong with a middle age woman wanting to have sex with a young hard juicy boy over 18.  Consenting adults.  Personal choices.  One of my sons's friends focused on older women if theyn had money.  He would date them seriously for a year or more.  He was the least trustworthy of my son's friends.

Great to see something from my home town!  Although I haven't personally met any of these ladies, I HAVE been to Sale St and the Soul Bar on work outings - most interesting!

[Gator]

    Yes, gender roles are changing in the modern world.   

[Kokopelli]

Ah, but there have been famous "Cougars" in the past.
Mae West, Elizabeth Taylor, Brigitte Bardot, to name a few.
Twain even wrote an anecdote about the possible complications of a marriage combined with a second marriage.
This inspired a song.

You can go further back than that -
 
Philadelphia, June 25, 1745

My dear Friend:

I know of no medicine fit to diminish the violent natural inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper remedy. It is the most natural state of man, and therefore the state in which you are most likely to find solid happiness. Your reasons against entering into it at present, appear to me not well founded. The circumstantial advantages you have in View by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the man and woman united that make the complete human being. Separate, she wants his force of body and strength of reason; he, her fitness, sensibility, and acute discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the world. A single man has not nearly the Value he would have in the state of union. He is an incomplete animal. He resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors. If you get a prudent healthy wife, your industry in your profession, with her good economy, will be a fortune sufficient.
But if you will not take this counsel and persist in thinking a commerce with the sex inevitable, then I repeat my former advice, that in all your amours you should prefer old women to young ones. You call this a paradox, and demand my reasons. They are these:

• Because as they have more knowledge of the world and their minds are better stored with observations, their conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreeable.
• Because when women cease to be handsome they study to be good. To maintain their influence over men, they supply the diminution of beauty by an augmentation of utility. They learn to do a thousand services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old woman who is not a good woman.
• Because there is no hazard of children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much inconvenience.
• Because through more experience they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an intrigue to prevent suspicion. The commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the affair should happen to be known, considerate people might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old woman, who would kindly take care of a young man, form his manners by her good counsels, and prevent his ruining his health and fortune among mercenary prostitutes.
• Because in every animal that walks upright, the deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the neck; then the breast and arms; the lower parts continuing to the last as plump as ever; so that covering all above with a basket, and regarding only what is below the girdle, it is impossible of two women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all cats are gray, the pleasure of corporal enjoyment with an old woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every knack being by practice capable of improvement.
• Because the sin is less. The debauching a virgin may be her ruin, and make her for life unhappy.
• Because the compunction is less. The having made a young girl miserable may give you frequent bitter reflection; none of which can attend the making an old woman happy.

• 8thly and lastly. They are so grateful!!

Thus much for my paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly; being sincerely

Your affectionate friend,

B. Franklin

And Queen Elizabeth I. 
Whatever floats their boat.

[Boethius]

Well, a queen or empress is in a different boat, as is her paramour.  Failure to perform could lead to some pretty unpleasant consequences.    Plus, bedding a woman of power had perks.  One of Elizabeth's lovers escaped a murder investigation.  Catherine the Great bestowed titles and riches on her much younger lovers.

[Kokopelli]

As is life, you have to take the good with the bad.
Khadija bint Khuwaylid is another interesting case.

[Boethius]

Other than knowing who she is, I don't know much about her or her marriage.

Jane Digby is another interesting cougar.  Her fourth, and final husband, was an Arab sheik 20 years her junior, and they were married 28 years.

[Kokopelli]

Khadijah was well-known in her community for her success in the field of trade. By the time she met Muhammad, she was a wealthy businesswoman who had been widowed twice and had borne several children. Khadijah hired Muhammad to work for her on a specific trade endeavor in Syria. Impressed with his honesty and trustworthiness, as well as his successful conclusion of her business endeavors, Khadijah’s satisfaction with Muhammad’s success soon turned into love. Although she had refused previous proposals of marriage, she proposed to Muhammad.(With today's lawyers, can you say "sexual harassment in the work place"?) At the time of their marriage, she was 40 years of age he was 25. Together they had six children, four of whom survived past infancy: Ruqayyah, Zaynab, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah.

Khadijah and Muhammad had been married for fifteen years before he received his first revelation and began preaching the religion that was eventually to be called Islam. On the night he received his first revelation, Khadijah was the one in whom he first confided. She comforted and supported him, and it was she who sought advice from her Christian cousin, who proclaimed that Muhammad’s revelations were from God. Although it was common practice amonst 7th century Arab men to take multiple wives, Muhammad never took another wife in the nearly 25 years of his marriage to Khadijah.  Khadijah has been a role model for all Muslim women. Her marriage to Muhammad and the stories of their relationship reflect love, loyalty, trust, and respect between two individuals and partners.
(I have yet to find a source that says otherwise regarding their relationship.
Any non-political Islamic historian will say without her money Islam may not exist today.)

Regardless of culture and time "Cougars" are nothing new.

[Kokopelli]

I didn't know they broke up.
