We all know that Cougars hunt prey, but Prey also hunt Cougars. The thing is, boys, you need to know how to approach a predator safely, and effectively, otherwise you might get hurt. I haven’t been an “official” cougar for very long, but already have had to cull the herd of milling hopefuls, and it is evident that there are some questionable if not downright deficits out there amongst prey. Telling, or commanding, or otherwise instructing a cougar may even get you killed.
Here are a few examples of how not to approach a big cat. This came about because, after deciding to play along with the label, I posted an ad on my local CL in the “women for men” section, looking for fellow cougars to go out hunting with. I thought it might be fun to compare notes, and perhaps trade morsels. For fun, I included a line asking about where to find the most succulent prey. One woman responded. I lost count of how many men.
Most young fleshlings were appropriate enough: they gave their age, a little information such as the fact that they attend our local University, what year, etc. Eager, primed, hopeful–looking with a combination of slight intimidation and lust for something different than an experience with a peer. A cougar can tolerate slight feebleness upon approach if it is caused by fear, or lack of experience, and I am willing to coax my prey out into the open if they catch my attention, and make me salivate. The most important thing to remember is that as a cougar, there is one of me, and many, many prey circling around me. If you want to be noticed, you need to stand out in a good way. If you stand out in a bad way, you’re dead.
I’ve had guys send me an email demanding a picture up front. They act as if they are entitled, and won’t talk to me unless I send a pic first. I care? This is the rule, with me, I can’t speak for other cougars. If I find you interesting, or attractive, I will send a pic to entice you further. I will not send a face pic. I am a professional, and I am not into finding myself posted somewhere that is not my choosing. I am attractive. If you don’t like me when we meet, walk away. There are plenty of attractive men who do. If we chat by email, and I want to entice you further, I’ll send another pic. It is up to my desire to do so.
You must send a pic up front. It is about sex. Period. If I don’t find you attractive, I don’t want to spend my time chatting. No offense. Just because I am not attracted to you, doesn’t mean you are not attractive. We all have different taste. I have a wide range of tastes and moods. I will tell you if I am not interested. Then, move on. Life is short. I am not your therapist.
If I do like you, I will arrange to meet you face to face. I little chatting by email first, then we meet. A lot of guys get cold feet at this point. That is why I prefer to hunt in person, and find my prey in a live forum rather than online. That, and I can cull without having to let someone know they’ve been culled, and that can be kinder. I am not out to hurt people’s feelings. I don’t like that, and it can be awkward when people email me and I have to reject them. I try to be kind, but if someone is an asshole or inappropriate, than they are fair game.
Let’s face it. At this point in my life I’m dominant. I don’t respond to guys trying to dominate me in an unsolicited way. But, I do like the smell of fear on a tender, tentative young morsel. That, and an eager to please look on the face. We can get along.
I’ve had older guys write, telling me when I get tired of messing around, to give a real man a try. Now there’s good advice. Gee, I’ve never had an older man. I actually have a very steady man who is over 40, who is my dream. I’ve had all sorts of men. I like some older men, but that is not what I am looking for right now, so why not go for someone who is? Why bother writing me to display your resentment that I am not looking at you? That is so not sexy.
Do not approach me with a chip on your shoulder, something to prove, bitterness, resentment, issues, or pissy, whiny, or demanding tones. If you are clumsy, or I can see you ask for a pic up front because it is what you have seen others do, and you don’t know how to approach me, I may redirect you. No problem. Lack of imagination and playfulness will not make you stand out, though. Mr. Saturday Night (oh, that’s tonight) had the right combination of intellect, wit, charm, respect, and sexy pics. I am salivating in anticipation.
