Cougar Life

Older women are where it's at. If you've never sampled the sexual delights of a gorgeous cougar, you might be missing out on one of life's most incredible bedroom experiences. These ladies are talented, experienced and comfortable between the sheets. That's why cougar dating is the most popular dating niche of all.

Where to find these filthy cougars? The first site that'll pop up on your Google search is Cougar Life, one of the most reputable and long-standing dating websites in the cougar scene. It's been around a while, but does it still stand up? Can you find an easy cougar hookup on here? We've dug deep to give you all the info. Here's your ultimate Cougar Life review.

First Impressions

Having seen a million online dating sites in our time, we've noticed a very familiar pattern. If a site has a word like Cougar, MILF, Slut, Fuck, Whore or Bang in their name, chances are they're a scam site. Genuine dating sites don't use words like this to attract members, as proven by mainstream names like Tinder, OKCupid, Match, Bumble and POF.

But there's one exception to this rule, and that exception is Cougar Life. This is one of the few online dating sites that incorporates sexual language into its name whilst still functioning as a legit platform. So basically, don't let the name put you off, because everything (or most things) you see on here are totally genuine.

The Cougar Life website looks appealing and contemporary. Bright neon colors, stock models of attractive women and younger men. The name pretty much tells you exactly what to expect, but the tagline; "age has no compatibility" doesn't hurt either. The first impressions here are a solid ten out of ten, so expect Cougar Life to lure you in from the word go.

CougarLife Signup Process

Click the 'Login' button in the top right hand corner of the page then click 'Not a member? Sign up now' to get started. From this point you'll need to enter the following information:

• Relationship Preferences
• Username
• Password
• Location
• Zip Code
• Date of Birth
• Ethnicity
• Email Address

Verify your email address and then you're free to get started. You can create your profile and browse everything on this dating website, including profile bios and full-size pictures. You'll also get access to:

• Uploading your pictures
• Searching for your match
• Access to other users’ pictures
• Sending invitations
• Observing other users’ data

To send messages you'll need to purchase one of the premium membership packages. Unlike other dating sites that flirt with the idea of sugar relationships, women must also pay to exchange Cougar Life messages.

Cougar Life's Exciting Features

Cougar Life has a number of attractive features to help connect with other users. Here's a detailed list of all of them.

Upload Private Photos

There's no better way to keep your private photos safe than through Cougar Life's secret albums feature. As you might expect from a dating site like this, the majority of people are looking for hookups. The prerequisite to hookups is exchanging filthy pictures, and Cougar Life offers an efficient function that allows other users to access entire folders of them at once.

When you upload your photos to your profile, you can select ones you want to keep private. These will then go into a secret folder. You're then free to give the password to this folder to other users so they can see you at your most primal. It's a funky little feature that works really well (but we should mention only premium members can use it).

Mobile App Available

Cougar Life has a mobile app available for those who want to chat on the move. This little feature actually gives Cougar Life a leg up on the competition, because most other sites in the mature dating scene don't have dedicated apps. Not only is the app super efficient, but it also shows just how dedicated Cougar Life are to satisfying their customers.

The app offers the same functions as the browser site, including the ability to read Cougar Life messages, search tab, view profiles, edit your own profile and video chat. The Cougar Life can be downloaded directly from the Cougar Life website for free. It's not available through the iOS or Google Play stores due to laws around adult apps.

Send Virtual Gifts

Cougar Life is much of a hookup site than a dating Internet site, which means conversation is often minimal. People are more concerned with finding people based on looks and don't care much about their personalities. Therefore, some of these horny folks don't want to waste time chatting when they can showcase their interest through virtual gifts.

Virtual gifts are basically just funky ways of saying hello, not to mention they're more likely to grab someone's attention than "hi" would. If your chat partner likes the look of you, then great. If she doesn't, then it's not like you've wasted ten minutes crafting a mind-blowing introduction message. Virtual gifts just make the hooking up process much quicker.

Advanced Search Preferences

Like most dating sites, the Cougar Life has a detailed search function to help you find like-minded people. But unlike other dating sites, Cougar Life's search function actually works. Just hit the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen and you can search the entire site either by keyword or specific filters.

Once you've narrowed your choices down by keyword, you can then narrow down further by; body type, ethnicity, hair color, eye color, exact location, distance away from you, relationship preferences, smoker or non smoker, drinker or non drinker and more ad-hoc criteria. Just another function that makes Cougar Life one of the best dating sites in the mature niche.

Pros of CougarLife.com

What did we love about CougarLife? Here's a list of our positives.

Join For Free

No one wants to commit to a monthly membership without sampling what the site offers. Thankfully, Cougar Life knows this, so it allows new users to browse through these older women and younger men to get a taste of the site before opting for one of the paid plans. Free members can browse profiles and see full-size pictures of other members.

It might surprise you to know that a lot of other cougar sites don't allow this. They try and slide their way into your wallet before you've even got a taste of the guys or girls on display. Free members can use almost all of the features available right from the off. The only exceptions are direct messaging and video chatting.

User Friendly Interface

The Cougar Life site is an absolute dream to navigate. This might only really interest the tech-heads out there, but you'll never have any issues with bugs or clunky interfaces on either the desktop website or the app. This might not seem like a big deal, but for the younger guys who've grown up with cutting-edge tech at their fingertips, it's another tick in the pros column.

Not only does it make browsing through users and sending messages a total breeze, but it also shows that Cougar Life have thrown their hearts and souls into this platform. Cougar Life is actually something of a niche site in the grand scheme of things, but judging by their crisp and sleek image, you'd never guess so.

Mostly Hookups

Naturally, a site called Cougar Life is going to attract the kind of members looking for casual sex. While the site brands itself as "older women dating," just what that involves is left open to interpretation, and most people have interpreted it as easy sex. Therefore, don't come to this web page expecting to find any serious relationships.

That's not to say you won't find it at all. Cougar Life has cougars searching high and low for a range of activities, from easy sex to something more substantial to a simple date tonight. However, the majority of the focus is on older women/younger men sex, so expect to find plenty of "NSA" and "DTF" acronyms when browsing other members profiles.

Sugar Relationships

Another type of relationship you'll find on offer is a sugar relationship. For those not aware, a sugar arrangement is a transactional relationship that usually involves a wealthy, older man and a young hot woman. In modern days, this dynamic has been flipped on its head, and now it's not uncommon to find sugar mommas and male sugar babies too.

That said, Cougar Life is not a sugar daddy site. These women are here for dating younger men, not subsidizing their lifestyles in return for regular sex. However, there's no doubt that a few women on here are happy to splash the cash if it means they receive sexual fulfilment. We actually came across a few of these ladies during research for this Cougar Life review.

Specific Age Range

This is more for the women than the men, but guys over the age of 35 need to get the hell out of here. Once you age out, or if you try and sign up over the age of 35, Cougar Life will show you where the door is. It's young men only, unfortunately. Sorry older dudes.

Don't try and get around the system by lying about your age either because the mods will check your pictures too. If there's any hint of grey or a receding hairline, you'll be outta here. This might sound harsh, but it ensures the site lives up to its premise.

Cons of CougarLife.com

What areas could Cougar Life improve? Here's a list of the things we didn't love.

Some Fake Profiles

No Internet dating site is safe from fakes and scammers. They infiltrate any platform that's free to join and Cougar Life is no exception. During your time on this great site, you'll certainly come across an older woman or two that just seems too good to be true. If that's the case - even though Cougar Life has some amazing women - then it's probably a scammer.

While we hate to generalize, there's a lot of technophobic women here on Cougar Life. After all, these ladies are in their fifties and sixties, so they didn't grow up with tech and Internet sites like the younger men on here. That's why they can sometimes be a little naive on this particular service, which therefore attracts more fakes in the long run.

Membership Pricing

How much does Cougar Life cost? It depends. To interact with other users on the Cougar Life dating platform, you'll to purchase either A) one of the three available paid membership options or B) Cougar Life credits. With a paid membership, you'll get access to the following perks:

• Send and receive messages
• Send and receive virtual gifts
• Priority placement in search results
• Access to secret folders function
• Video chat functionality

Here's what how each package breaks down cost wise:

• 1 Month - $40.00 per month - $40.00 total
• 3 Months - $29.00 per month - $87.00 total
• 12 Months - $12.00 per month - $144.00 total

Cougar Life is one of the few online dating services that uses BOTH a paid membership and a credits system. Credit systems are ideal for people who are more selective with who they message, allowing people to only pay for the few messages they send. Each message costs 5 credits and cost:

• 100 Credits - $29.99
• 500 Credits - $89.99
• 1000 Credits - $139.99

Final Verdict: Is Cougar Life legit?

Cougar Life is the ultimate cougar dating site. It's been around for nearly 20 years and it'll be around for at least 20 more. It's got everything a budding cougar-hunter would want from an adult dating website; plenty of mature ladies, cheap membership packages, and efficient features that actually help you find sex and relationship. There's a reason why so few other dating websites can match Cougar Life in terms of quality and mainstream appeal.

Is it perfect? No, but it's close. There's a couple of things that might not appeal to the modern dater, but if your end game is to get laid with older women, then you're definitely the site's target audience and you should consider creating an account on here ASAP. To find a world of mature women interested in young men, few other cougar dating sites can compare to what Cougar Life offers. We hope you've found our Cougar Life review helpful!
