What constitutes a cougar anyway? If I dated a guy born in 89 is that really being a cougar? He was born in the same decade.

And oh god, I'm from Transcona:help:

Waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic

I'm born 89 miss cougar :laugh:

And yeah I'm quite "German looking" I guess.

But let's not get too much off topic in here :laugh:

You're too young to be a cougar. I thought the unwritten rule is a woman in her 30's. Not enough of us old timers on here. I'm 42 and feel like 60!

EDIT: And there's nothing wrong with T-Cona. Bought my first house there. Going to see Collective Soul tonight at the Oak.

They're nationally televised games. So unless I have a European IP... :help:

I don't know how to change my IP. lol

Ohhh right, sorry I completely had a dumb moment here.

There are ways to do it but I don't know currently as I haven't had to do that for a few years (used to watch Hulu).

This conversation seem to be heading good direction but;

Is this cougar thing bretty much more about relative age difference?

I allways thougt that the rule was (your age -/+ ((your age/2 -/+ 7years)) and result is your socially accetable dating age range. Go over or under and your cougar/toyboy or [young female dating older person?]/old dirty man depending on your situation.

So you (or me but since I have dude parts I would be dirty old man if) as example:
29 / 2 = 14.5 y
14.5 + 7 = 21.5 y (lower limit) <-- Go under this and you can be viewed as cougar
29 + 14.5 - 7= 36.5 y (upper limit) <-- Go over this and you will be [young female dating older person]

So if the guys is 25 you are not even close to cougar limits... But try imagining yourself dating say.. you know.. Mark Scheifele of Jacob Trouba and you might see the light? :D

Other competing theory would be that this kind of procedure leaves an grey area in the results where older persons lower limit has passable value to date the youger person, but youger persons higer limit does not reach older persons age. To make those relationships more socially acceptabe there would then be this cougar or what ever the ******* rule. (Say 40 yo person lower limit is 27, but 27 yo upper limit is 33.5 yo so... you know, half passable still?)

Sorry for the OT, but it's 1:30 AM here (like that is an excuse)
Also I dont get the Transcona reference. Probly cus I live in another continent.

Considering I remember the years when they were born... Although I have had crushes on many of younger guys. Google Transcona cougar. It's quite hilarious. It's an area of Winnipeg.

YWG, I've made up my mind!

Can I have one of the bandwagon logos with a picture of Iginla's head coming in instead of a team and "win it for Iggy '14" as the quote?

And the Ice Caps calder run one as well.


No hurry, just if you have time :)
