I’m a proud cougar – I only date men 10 years younger than me, people might think it’s ‘inappropriate’ but I don’t care
A WOMAN has revealed she’s proud to be a cougar and prefers dating men at least ten years younger than her despite what people may say.
Carla, 41, is currently dating her partner, BB*, who is 28 and argues she shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed for her decision.
"Younger than that and our lifestyles and maturity are too different to have a real connection. Older than that and guys are usually looking for a wife."
Not only does she get to date younger men but she’s also turned her sex-positive lifestyle into a side hustle.
She said: “Being a cougar is both my passion and side hustle,"
"For years it wasn't deliberate.
"In my late twenties and early thirties, I was living abroad and just ended up hanging out with younger people. They were more fun and open-minded, and I was drawn to that."
One of the men she dated and went on to marry was six younger, but they separated five years later in 2019.
Despite Carla’s newfound confidence, trolls on TikTok constantly leave nasty comments she no longer bothers reading.

She added: "Now I'm passionate about sex, kink and pleasure positivity. I just want to normalise being more open about our desires.

"There are so many ideas about what women are supposed to do and not do, especially once you're over a certain age. But why should we just disappear into a corner quietly once we're over 35? We deserve pleasure too."
