Ladies: Are you a 'real' cougar?

Linda Franklin of Boomers Making a Difference will soon be on Fox's Good Day New York talking about "cougars"--referring to women and not large felines. (If you are still confused then check out "Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men," linked here).

Linda is out to rehabilitate the image of cougars:

Real Cougars are women who are smart, capable, confident, fit, beautiful, sexy, accomplished and secure. The last thing they have time to do is go out late at night skulking after young men to pounce on. That image is just so ridiculous, it makes me laugh. Yes, it's true Real Cougar women are attracting younger men, but they are not doing the pursuing. We don't have to. But, if we choose to go down that road, a younger man could be the beautiful red bow on an already expertly wrapped package. A package that has taken years to perfect. The tag "Real Cougar" should be worn proudly. It is the core of what we have worked so hard to achieve.

Linda says that the most important attribute of a cougar is he's a woman who knows what she wants and she knows how to get it.
