Apparently, I am a Kitten. Which means i like to date older men.
Urban Dictionary : A woman who likes to date men older than her, usually by about 10 years, or more depending on the woman. Also the opposite of a cougar. Okay, Maybe not as old as 10 years, anymore, but my most recent "thing" was a 6 year age difference.
Older men who like younger women are referred to as Rhinos.
Urban Dictionary : An older man on the prowl for a younger woman and by definition, the gender opposite of the cougar. The rhino derives his name from his appearance because the specimen is more often than not both horny AND ugly. The ugly part doesn't sound to appetizing, ehh? I'll defend some of these men though, i have seen some mighty fine looking "Rhinos" in my time. ;)p
A Puppy or Cub.
Urban Dictionary : A Puppy is a man under the age of 25 interested in older women, Also called Cougar Hunters (These men are highly valuable because they are still trainable) HAHA!! Still trainable?
Last but certainly not least, The infamous Cougar.
Urban Dictionary : An older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man. The cougar can be anyone from an overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim, to an absolute sad and bloated old horn-meister, to a real hottie or MILF. Cougars are gaining in popularity -- particularly the true hotties -- as young men find them not only a sexual high, but many times a chick that actually has her shit together. I gotta admit, there are some pretty damn hot Cougars with some pretty damn hot Puppies following them around.
In the end its nothing but a number though right?
What do you think about age differences? Would you rather date someone your own age? Or does age not matter to you?Are you a kitten, cub, cougar or cougar-hunter?

I like people around my age range. so between 18 and 22.
i'd be classified as a kitten, though i haven't dated too much...
i think guys around ten years older are the most attractive.
I don't think it's "nothing" but a number, but I'd say age is only one factor of many in determining the suitability of a relationship. And age does not always correlate to maturity. Personally I've only ever dated up and down by 2 years so I don't think I'm any of those...
I would hunt cougars in a heartbeat.
kitten. definitely kitten. 15 years older currently. I find myself not considering men who are not at least 10 years older.
what up with all these critter names, heh, m' soon to be g/f calls me a bear, but she doesn't mean it in the hairy fat gay guy way. I don't give a rip what age a girl is as long as she is hawt, y'seez.
Wow I didn't know you were only allowed to date people your exact age. Gee what do they call dating someone 6 months older then you? Or how about someone 9 months younger then you???
If she's 10 years older than me that's too much-the age gap makes it harder. On the flipside, if she's younger than 18 it's too young-and it can also land me in jail.
well I'm only 14 months older than my boyfriend... so I'm pretty sure that doesn't make me a cougar...
but the car I drive is a cougar so I get shit for it a lot hahaha
I was a kitten, once. I dated a guy nearly 8 years older than me.
I'm definitely a kittne. =)
Kitten.
I dunno, I was cougar crazy, with no luck when I was in my thirties. I'm 40 now, and while I find younger women attractive, and younger women are still attracted to me, I'm not a 40 year old with his shit together, so, the game is often, I can trick someone into coming back to my apartment with me if I wanted to, I can be tricked by an older woman, a "cougar" into going back to her place if she wants to, though, it can get weird to say the least!
So, I mean, it's really what you're up to risking.LMAO. I'm a kitten too, though it's nothing to do with how I chose my username. I always find myself attracted to/with older guys. Though I'm not turned off to people my own age.
Age isn't a big deal, so long as neither sides are taking advantage of the other because of that age. And so often it is a case of one person being taken advantage of. But when it's real, I don't care.
@melllisa@xanga - completely different topic but whats your profile picture mean?!
Every guy that I've ever been interested in is always older. From 2 years older to 30. It sounds weird, not to mention its illegal, but I've never looked twice at any guy my age or younger. :)
@lil_fire_bella@xanga - Me too! I think it has mostly to do with maturity level. Guys my age are SOOO immature. That's why i prefer the older ones. :)
@Kiwi7534@xanga - I was thinking the saaaammmme thing! Like, I don't want to feel like I'm babysitting my bf :S I want him to be able to think on my level or higher. And to be more experienced.
@lil_fire_bella@xanga - Exactly! :D
I just don;t care about the age. I tend to get into things with guys of my own age. And my oh my! they are soo immature at times. yet I believe that people can be happy at any age gap relationships. Age doesn't really matter :) but yet it does. luck!!!!
Kitty :) However I usually only date guys two or three years older than me, because otherwise I'm violating consent laws in my state, and that gets into scary statutory and other things, which I don't like. So because I'm young, I'm not too much of a kitten, but once I get older I probably will be >.<
Like someone at least maybe 2 years older then me..No more..No guy wwaayyy older then me like..40 and I am 21. No thank you.
And I am not so crazy about a guy super yonger then me..a year is fine..
I think age can matter in places like highschool, for example a senior dating a freshman, just because the maturity levels are WAY different. but once you grow up and graduate highschool and such i think most people are done maturing, and then age is just a number.
I am definitely a kitten.
The youngest guy I've dated has been 4 years older than me, and the oldest 12 years older.
I generally find them more physically attractive and the conversation is usually a lot better too.
@iamjustamemory@xanga - I agree! Well, to a certain extent. I still think HUGE age differences - even when you're 18, or 21 is still a little strange..but it's whatever people like I guess lol.
