This book is heavily based on stereotypes of older women and younger men. There isn't any useful information here for women or men. Nothing in the book is new, interesting, or fun.

A little too "pouncy", but really an interesting concept. I loved her self confidence! However, would like to have read about we older pre-cronehood cougars who don't look our age ect.

I've dated several younger men, and this book was very much a disappointment, and bordering on insulting at times. The author tries to use a humorous take on the subject, but does not succeed. Save the $[...] and get a pedicure instead.

This book is worth reading . Insightful about teaching women to just see sex for sex instead of wanting a commitment all the time. I found the book refreshing and helpful to change a way of thinking about relationships between women and men . As women get older there are many reasons why women do not always want a commitment and sometimes just getting laid is just what the doctor ordered. This book is a very simple read with humor !!

I can't even remember why I bought this book in the first place when I was single. It's just not for me. Maybe I will give it to my mother-in-law.

Unfortunately we never read anything beforehand, because we do not wake up one day and decide to be " a cougar". I wished I had that book on hand before I made my own experiences as a so-called cougar. Sex and dating is definitely different once you hit forty, but it is still a thrilling and exciting time. A book worth the read...

I recently saw a special on the WE television network which featured the author, who by her own admission, had been married 4 times by the time she was 40 years old. The special entitled "Cougars", featured women from age 39 to age 49 all dating men more than 10 years younger. All of these women had already been either married previously or had children so they had been down the domestic road of picket fence children and husband, now these women were simply looking to have a wild sexual time with no inhibitions, no strings for the most part, and just enjoy themselve with a young man. This of course plays exactly into the minds of what the committment shy male of this generation wants anyway. Why go out with a younger woman closer to his age, who will expect committment, a serious relationship that leads to marriage, when they can date a "Cougar" and just that relationship alone sets the boundaries, because of course a cougar can't expect a man so much younger than she is will marry her. (The Ashton Kutcher Demi Moore situation is very rare). Younger men love this scenario because it frees them from the so called drama they say they encounter from a woman who expects more. The older women like it because they've already experienced the marriage and children so they just want to have fun. This is not for everyone. If you're an older woman and still want committment and haven't married yet. (And it's interesting how they are starting to consider mid to late 30's as approaching "Cougar territory), but if you fall in that category a relationship like this with a much younger man will only most likely end in heart break especially if you want more. To each her on, but if you've been down the marriage path, and don't want to go that route anymore and you're just looking to go out have fun, be sexual and let the relationship stay at a certain level, then by all means, but if you're looking for more, the chances of that happening in a Cougar younger man relationship is slim to none. Don't let the hype about older hot sexy women having it all by dating younger men influence you. It is fun, if you want to keep it at a certain level.

a guide for Older women dating younger men was a disappointing book that commonsense would have told you dos&donts.Certainly not worth the money,will sell it for £[...] as the contents is all it is valued at.

Hi, Bernard Chapin saying hello and here's my review of this book...which is assuredly a contrarian view.

I was turned on to this book by a young man who was riding in my cab one evening. The man, in his twenties, looked like Harry Potter, but he was far from being a boy. He told me of this book and the world of the women know as Cougars. As we read together from Ms. Gibson's tome, I knew that as a twenty-something myself, I had to enter one of their lairs. That evening with Valarie Gibson's book in tow, we showed up at a variety of bars. When we pulled the book out, we immediately grabbed the attention of every 45 year old babe in the place. Not only is this book informative, it is just as good as a 22 year old man for cougar bait! Highly recommended.
