Yes, apparently we have one. After all, they even have a conference!
Tattoo Rock Parlour on Toronto’s Queen West is going to be crawling with older women looking for fresh young meat Friday night with one lone woman hoping to be crowned Miss Cougar Canada at the end of the evening.
“We did the first Cougar Convention in Silicon Valley last August and we had a massive crowd and turned away hundreds of people,” said organizer Rich Gosse of Cougarevents.com. “The cougar phenomenon began in Canada, so we’ve always wanted to go to Toronto.”
A “cougar” by its bare bones definition is an older woman who is on the hunt for younger men with no strings attached.
Here are the rules: Anyone 35 and older and legally single can compete for the Miss Cougar Canada Title. Everyone pays their $20 to get into the club and it’s up to the cougars to woo the cubs — the younger men — to vote for them by working the room.
Yes, even the lowest of low on this earth have “rules” at their gatherings. I’m not opposed to relationships with an age difference, to each his own. However, I’m a little skeptical about the notion of paying $20 to go to a club to have 40-somethings flirting with you to get your vote. It’s not an NDP convention…

unny, could be a problem though if these folks start demanding entitlements, oh I mean “rights”…
Haha Dan. Shh…you might have popped up on the Canadian Human Rights Commission’s radar with that comment. Nice knowing you!
Oh my. This Cougar thing seems to be a bit of a trend across the pond doesn’t it…
I tell you what. I just got back from this convention last night, and it was a blasty blast. Not only being there early got me the chance to see what was out there. I also turned out to be the youngest cub there at the tender age of 25.
5 interviews later in only 1 hr just after 7:30 and I was laughing smiling, and having a good time.
Check any interviews through google that would be posted later today and you will understand.
What a great night. For those of you who dont understand. Or just dont care too. You have no idea what the atmosphere is like. Having never been with a so called “cougar” and then just jumping into the fray. I must say, you gotta try it. If your a free spirited fellow like myself this was an event you should of gone too.
lol Erik. Not sure if yor’e serious or not but I found your comment funny anyhow!!!
lol i like these lighter stories once in a while. keep up the good work!
Sexist pigs
How is this sexist? Enlighten us oh highly evolved one! No no, wait, let me guess! This has something to do with homophobia again? No male cougars there trying to woo the cubs? Or maybe no female cubs? What’s got your tail in a twist this time Barry-B-Bitchin?
