A Cougar means a confident, attractive women usually in her 30s or 40s, who is financially stable, mentally independent and seeking a sexual encounter with a young male.
Top 10 Real and Potential Native Cougars In Australia
This 37-year-old mother of three shot to infamy and cemented her cougar status after sinking her clawa into NRL superstar Jonathan Thurston (25) and boasting of the score via Facebook.
The tanning salon operator dubbed the 'cougar from coogee' also has NRLplayers Jarryd Hayne (21) and Sonny Bill William (23) as online friends, a collection that may also double as her 'to do' list.
Palavi is living proof that being a cougar isn't exclusibe to A-List celebrities; apparently even those on the E-List can get on the prowl.
No.9 Tara Moss (Age:36)
Despite having a vocie that could strip paint, Canadian-Australian author and former supermodel, Tare Moss is one voliptuous V-I-P.
She is also a certifiea cougar. In 2001 she was romantically linked to Australian cricketing superstar, Brett Lee who happens to be 7 years her junior. At 181cm tall, Moss could eat most young men alive and having written four best-selling crime novels, probably knows how to get away with it too...
When she picks her prey, very litte can stop her and it's my opinion that only a 'very litter' amount of Australian men would want to.
Triple M Sydney Breakfast presenter, Sami Lukis is, believe it or not, unlucky in love.
In early 2007 she gave up living life between a Bondi penthouse and luxury yacht when she split from her millionaire man. She's since been a self-described victim of the fictitious 'man drought'.
Currently writing a column for B Magazine entitled Single in the City, it can't be long before Sami picks up a paper, reads about the Cougar phenomenon and decides to jump onto some lucky 23 year old.
Natalie Imbruglia is no stranger to dating younger gents.
Since her marriage to, and subsequent divorce from, Silverchair front man Daniel Johns (29) Imbruglia has had tender ties with actor, Josh Hartnett (30) and Razorlight singer, Johnny Borrell(29).
Latest reports suggest she may go even younger still, as Imbruglis is reported to be in frequent SMS contact with everyone's favourite ranga, Prince Harry(24).
Despite not having any regal lineage, I'm sure if Nat desired, it wouldn't be long before she discovered royal ties.
As the passive-aggressive host of Big Brother Australia, Gretel Killeen was introduced to a cavalcade of tanned, toned and tediously boring men during her seven year stint on the show.
However, it was in 2003, during Season 3 that Killeen (then 40) pounced on baby-faced housemate Daniel ‘Saxon’ Small (then 21), best known for his in-house, teary tantrums that ended up causing his eviction.
The relationship between the pair confirmed Killen’s cougar instincts and highlighted that some younger men really do fancy dating someone old enough to be their mother.
No5. Dannii Minogue (Age: 37) While she doesn’t enjoy as much commercial success as her older sister, when it comes to cougar pride, Dannii Minogue certainly isn’t left wanting.
Minogue spent most of 2008 ‘supporting’ British Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton (24) and initially the two appeared to be a match made in heaven. Lewis having a well-known fancy for older females and Dannii having a well-documented eye for F1 drivers.
However, Dannii has since turned her attention to another sporting star, former English Rugby League player – and man mountain, Kris Smith (31).
The spunky former host of Australia’s Next Top Model unquestionably has a passion for perusing younger prey.
In a 2008 interview Dawson proudly proclaimed, “I always date younger men,” and continued to state that younger chaps are just who she relates to more.
Charlotte was once hitched to former Olympic swimmer Scott Miller (34) and has dated stunt man Judd Wild (32) known most recently for his work on Hugh Jackman’s blockbuster film, Wolverine.
Staying true to form, both men were significantly her junior.
Academy-award nominated Namoi Watts has never let an age gap stand in the way of an amorous relationship.
Watts began a well-publicised two-year love affair with the late actor, Heath Ledger in September 2002. The two met on the set of the movie Ned Kelly and successfully managed to pay no heed to the ten year age difference separating them.
Despite being married (to partner Liev Schreiber), the AskMen.com crew are protesting valiantly to have this cougar returned to the wild so she can strike again.
The eldest of two, Kylie Minogue is a tried and true cougar.
During Dita Von Teese’s burlesque birthday bash in October 2008, the Princess of Pop made public her fondness for younger men. Minogue (40) was visually giddy, as she cuddled and consumed champagne with her new man, Spanish supermodel, Andres Velencoso Segura (30).
Having sold in excess of 60 million records and with a seemingly unbreakable grip on the ‘pink dollar’, while looking fantastic in hot pants, it isn't hard to see what he sees in her...
Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson is the Australian Cougar at its best.
Stunning. Mature. Untamed.
In early 2008 Elle gave hope to pre-pubescent boys worldwide when she began dating art curator and mop top hairstyle enthusiast, Vito Schnabel (22). Macpherson was said to be smitten with Schnabel despite the little tyke being over twenty years her junior.
The lesson here is obvious men: don’t care about your hair, wear ill-fitting suits that make you look like a gawky teenager and the cougars will come running.
