Wow, what kind of question is this? It all came up one night at reverse happy hour (let’s face it, this isn’t exactly an early happy hour kind of discussion.) We were sitting around talking about the subject of cougars (and cubs) in general.
Somehow we got on the topic of what was the “hottest” kind of cougar. People were throwing all kinds of ideas out there like cougars who just hit 40, centerfold-type, never married, divorced, no kids, ones with hot daughters, and every other qualifier you can think of.
After lots of fun banter one cub dropped the “M” word - ”married.” Everyone turned to look at him with the combined reaction of, “Are you insane?” and “Dude, that’s hot!” As it turned out, that was turning point of the conversation and the night. The guys jumped behind him, the cougars defended their unmarried cougar status, trying to explain why a cougar couldn’t be married. “A cougar is supposed to be available,” Kendra said.
“But what if the married cougar is available, and her husband knows she is a cougar who goes out and puts herself out there?” Bryan shot back. “Oooooooh!” was the collective loud response from about five guys who where all high fiving each other and acting as if they’d just scored (something.)
“So you are saying there are cougars who are ‘out’ there who are married yet on the hunt?” The guys and even some of the women agreed with this. “And this is the hottest category of cougar?” I clarified. At this point the noise level rose and everything got kind of crazy so the reaction spoke for itself. And the hottest cougar category goes to: ….. Married cougars!
As for the married cougars I know who party with us unmarried cougars and cubs, I only have one thing to say to them, “You go cougars!” (Okay, maybe two things, “Thank your hubbies for being so cool about it.”)
