On a recent Thursday evening, the cozy Quiet Woman along Coast Highway was crawling with good-looking women well into their fourth decades. It was easy to chat up guys at the bar about cougars熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men. Not so much with the potential cougars熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men themselves, most of whom insisted that they had no idea what a cougar熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men was or why they would know in the first place.

"Of course I know what a cougar熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men is," said Andrew Vanos, 37, who lives in Corona del Mar. "Except back home in Australia, we call them 'boilers' - boiled but not poached."

Asked to further explain the characteristics of a cougar熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men, Vanos added: "They're on their last leg with nothing to lose. They've come to terms with life and they're not afraid to go after what they want."

That kind of sentiment is exactly why the majority of women at the bar bristled at the mention of the C-word.

"It sucks being called a cougar熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men," said Jen Sloan, 36, also of Corona del Mar. "The term is offensive. It makes the woman out to be some sort of desperate predator."

Her boyfriend, Mark Inglis, 27, disagreed.

"It's a badge of honor," he said, laughing. "Cougars熟女 — an older woman who wants younger men are great. It's exciting; it's all about the hunt and it's fun as hell."

As Kevin McKelvie, 36, of Aliso Viejo, put it, "They know what they want, and they aren't afraid to get it."

Dressed in a slinky orange camisole吊带背心 — a light sleeveless top and denim skirt, Dawnielle Kelley, 37, embraced the title.
