Cougared.com: Where Quality Single Women Seek Younger Men

The Short Version: When cougars are hunting for dates in the wild, they aren’t always successful. It’s hard to meet potential dates in the real world, and harder still to tell which young men will be open to their advances. Founded in 2007, Cougared.com helps cougars meet their match in a safe online community. Cougars and cubs can sign up and start chatting with one another for free on this dating site. Currently, Cougared has over 378,000 registered users, and it’s always growing to better serve the modern cougar community. Whether you’re looking for a new friend or a love interest, you can use the dating site’s search tools to introduce yourself to hundreds of attractive singles online.

Oliver Jameson didn’t start out to create a dating website. He was working as a content developer for a variety of online services when he started writing short articles about the dating industry. He mostly wrote about niche dating markets, including vegetarians, Japanese people, and cougars. His article on age-gap dating was by far the most popular among readers, so he began to write follow-up articles geared toward cougars and cubs.

He saw incredible traffic spikes, and people began to communicate with one another in the comments section in hopes of finding a date. Oliver realized he could do a lot more to help older women meet younger men. He could start a discussion forum for cougars and cubs. Over time, this open forum naturally evolved into a dating platform.

“When I started Cougared.com, you could say it was almost by accident,” Oliver told us. “It evolved out of a blog, which itself came from a single article.”

Cougared is a 100% free dating site for mature women and young men.

In 2007, Oliver launched Cougared.com as a full-blown, community-oriented cougar dating site. Today, the platform serves hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life. What really draws singles to this dating platform is the fact that it’s completely free to use. You’ll never have to upgrade your account or choose a subscription plan to communicate here. Cougared.com is 100% free for everyone.

Whether you’re a recent divorcee looking for a fresh start or a 20-something looking for an experienced partner, Cougared.com offers a judgment-free zone to chat, flirt, and make a date with someone special.

According to Cougared.com’s internal numbers, most of the registered users on the site live in the US. Large urban areas, particularly in New York, California, and Texas, represent a significant chunk of Cougared.com’s membership. The dating platform also has a growing international base in Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world.

“We have over 378,000 registered users,” Oliver said. “The majority of them are men.”

If you’re a woman, you’ll have your pick of hot young guys on Cougared.com. Cougars have a distinct advantage on this niche dating site because the men outnumber the women here and therefore have to compete for their attention.

It takes less than a minute to create an anonymous username and join Cougared.com.

It doesn’t cost anything to join Cougared.com and use the site to meet people. Cougared.com’s profit comes from advertising revenue, so it doesn’t have to charge users for any of its online services. You can access all messaging, winking, and searching tools without paying anything. “I would describe the freeness of the site as its strongest appeal,” Oliver said.

Cougared.com allows members to save their money for their dates, and budget-conscious cougars and cubs appreciate the chance to mingle online without a paid subscription.

“Cougared.com is a 100% free to use website,” Oliver emphasized. “There are no catches. It’s created for people to make contact freely and easily.”

Joining Cougared.com is easy. All you need is a valid email address. The dating platform asks a few basic questions about who you are and what you’re looking for, and then you upload a photo, write a personal description, and you’re in. Cougared.com will send a confirmation email to you to verify your account.

Once your email is verified, your profile will be sent to the team for approval. You can’t access the communication features on Cougared.com until your account has been approved by the team. The site’s monitors increase the safety of all members by keeping spammers and scammers out of the community.

Cougared.com has strict guidelines for what people can post on the site. Profiles with explicit/pornographic photos will be removed from the database. Photos of minors will be removed, even if their faces are obscured. Cougared.com also doesn’t allow pictures that show guns or military or emergency services uniforms.

The site administrator reserves the right to flag any content it deems inappropriate. This policy ensures that members on the site adhere to certain standards for quality and authenticity when creating their profiles. You can be certain you won’t run into any dick pics or fake profiles when you’re browsing Cougared.com. It’s a safe and respectful place to meet new people.

“We have a very loyal user base, and the forum is full of members praising Cougared.com for its simplicity and user focus,” Oliver told us. “We are not all about upgrading and making as much as we can from members. It’s very much like a community.”

Cougars and cubs may have difficulty meeting in the real world, but, when you’re online, making an attractive acquaintance is as easy as hitting the search button and sending a message. Cougared.com gives singles the freedom to send unlimited private messages to whomever they fancy on the site. You can sign up and start chatting within minutes, and you’ll never need a subscription plan to stay connected to thousands of date prospects online.

Since its inception, Cougared.com has served the cougar community with a secure, easy-to-use, and completely free dating site. As age-gap dating becomes more popular, the dating network continues to grow, and the dating site’s team plans to make it even more accessible and user-friendly in the years to come.

“We do have plans to refresh the look and feel of the site soon, as it hasn’t changed much since 2007!” Oliver said. “Some users may think having the same homepage for 10 years is comforting in a world of change, but we recognize it probably is time for a ‘lick of paint,’ so watch this space.”
