Q: Dear Ava. You talk mostly about younger men who like dating older women. I’m not young, in fact, a lot of women would call me an old man. I’m in my early forties, but I often date cougars in their fifties, even early sixties.
I like the attitude these cougar women possess, it’s kind of like an “I’ve seen it all, don’t fuck with me” thing. Anyway, it’s hot.
What I want to ask is…where can I meet these older women, it’s not like they hang out at bars looking for men. I met the last woman at a wedding. It was a short-lived romance but fun.

Find Cougars in their 50s and 60s
A: Hi Craig, it’s nice to hear older cougars are still attracting younger men.
You didn’t give any background on your love life, but I’m sure you’ve had a fair bit of experience with meeting women in different places. I don’t think things change that much with age when it comes to finding women for short or long-term relationships.
One thing about meeting and hitting it off with the opposite sex, regardless of age, is it often happens when you least expect it. I’m sure this has occurred in your life, Craig – when you stop trying or looking, you bump into someone and a little magic begins.
Cougar Dating Sites
A lot of people assume online dating is for the younger set, but dating sites for older populations have grown tremendously.
Try a site that is specific to dating older women, where you can state the age range you’re seeking and meet women in their 50s and beyond. If online dating is new to you, just take your time, look around the site, and go at your own pace.

There are many other places to meet interesting cougars in their 50s and 60s who’d enjoy dating younger men.
Join a gym or take classes (yoga and aquafit) that are geared to the age group you’re looking for. Gyms are good meeting places because you can chat without looking desperate or aggressive.
You could also try continuing education classes. A shared interest is a good starting point for any cougar relationship.
