A woman who, for some unknown reason, is attracted to men she finds out are younger than she is, often significantly so. She looks younger than her age, acts younger than her age, and has the confidence she didn't have when she was younger - which younger men apparently find appealing. She's not always the bottle blond, surgically enhanced woman described in other definitions of the word. She most often has her life in order and has earned her independence. She's probably not had a conventional life and she's ok with that. Many of her friends don't get it and tell her to find some old rich fart to die with.
This is a cougar scenario of the kind described above: The flirtation had gone on for weeks and he finally asked her for her number. She gave it to him knowing he was another young one. When she found out how old he really was, she sighed on the inside. All she could say was, "I'm a bit older than you." He guessed she was about 38 and in her head she said, "Yeah, that's how old I was when I had my daughter who is now 15." Another sigh.

an older woman, dressed as a younger woman, usually with overprocessed hair and skin, who likes to seek out and conquer younger men. She can quite frequently be found in professional settings though her habitat of choice tends to be the bar.
The cougar ran her pink tipped nail across the neckline of her lycra catsuit as she regarded her new assistant.

Earl and his friend tried to avoid making eye contact with the chain-smoking cougar at the other end of the bar.

In this year of 2005, other young guys out there will agree with me. A cougar is a smoking hot woman usually 30+ who is far better looking than guys her own age. When she's at the bar or nightclub, she'll find that certain younger hard body that she knows will rock her world that night....and he knows he'll get the same from her. For the most part - a cougar is a delicious experience....ENJOY!!

Definitely a financially successful, goal oriented adult woman that knows exactly what she wants and won't settle for less. Young men beware of her physical description: tall, blonde, knock out figure, well dressed and sporting a car you won't be able to afford!!
And if I'm a cougar than that makes my mature male counterpart what???

A distinguished species of older females who seek the company of younger males whilst avoiding the entanglements of a relationship, in favor of a lack of restrictions.
The cougar woman has overcome society’s proscribed behavior for women’s sexual behavior. Thus, she embraces her true self and lives her life to the fullest. She know what she wants and isn’t afraid to hunt for it!
There are several species of cougars, but an insatiable sexual appetite and a lack of interest in marriage and other conventional romantic institutions are common to all.

A woman over 40 that still managed to keep her figure, knows how to have multiple orgasms, has a husband that cant keep up with her sexual appetite so she is forced to look for satisfaction among younger men that are more than willing to get her off as many times as she wants. She will give the best head you ever had and you will be begging for me. Her stupid husband is over worked and under paid and in love with his job more than his wife. This forces the cougar to hunt.
