A proud cougar reveals the top 10 myths and truths about older women dating younger men.

Myth #7: An older woman will miss out on her "golden years" while he's establishing his career. She'll want to travel and socialize which won't work with his schedule.

Fact: The younger man has less baggage like an ex-wife and children. The older woman is independent and will find ways to keep herself entertained. She has her children and career to keep her busy.

Myth #8: A younger man finds women his age to be sexier. They have less wrinkles and weight from pregnancies.

Fact: Men find cougars sexy regardless of their imperfections. They describe the older woman as more adventurous and experienced in bed. The energy of a cougar is very alluring to the younger man. Sex is usually an area where this couple excels.

Myth #9: Kids will never accept the younger man dating their mother. Parents will resent the older woman for thwarting their son from having children.

Fact: Eventually, children and parents of the couple will see the loving relationship, and respect the decision that the couple has made to be together. They will recognize that the couple deserves to be happy.

Myth #10: A relationship with a cougar isn't viable and won't last over time.
