Is A Cougar A Sugar Mommy?

We get asked this question a lot, and the truth is, there's no simple answer. However, generally speaking, a Cougar is not the same as a Sugar Mommy. For those who aren't familiar with a "Cougar", here's how UrbanDictionary.com describes a Cougar: "A Cougar is a female, usually between thirty and fifty years-old, who enjoys the sexual company of younger men."  Over the last couple of years, Cougars were thrust into the limelight thanks to skits like this one from Saturday Night Live.

Answers.com describes a Sugar Mommy as "a rich, usually older woman who offers money or gifts to a less rich, usually younger person in return for companionship or sexual favors."

Therefore, when you look at the two, the primary difference between a Cougar and a Sugar Mommy is the "gifting" aspect. While Sugar Mommies are seeking companionship in exchange for money or gifts such as clothes, cars, tuition, etc., a Cougar is merely in it for the sex without any financial and/or gifts involved. In fact, the biggest difference between the two is a Cougar is not looking for a companion, but rather just a short term sexual affair as opposed to Sugar Mommies who are looking for a companion either in or out of the bedroom.

There are many dating sites that cater to Cougars, but only a few that cater to Sugar Mommies.
