"I don&amp;#39;t like to brag (lie) but I dated younger guys way before Hollywood gave it a nickname.\nWell actually, amongst my group of friends, I STILL get made fun of pretty regularly, but I don&amp;#39;t&amp;#39; care because younger guys rock.\nSingle-ish blogger Erin tries her hand at younger men!\nBut in my opinion, one thing that does not rock is the term &amp;quot;cougar&amp;quot;. Blechh. It&amp;#39;s so unfair that when a woman dates younger, she&amp;#39;s a coug, but when a man does it, he&amp;#39;s\u2026well, he&amp;#39;s just a man!\nSingle-ish blogger Ryan offers some male insight into why dudes date young!\nThat&amp;#39;s what society expects from guys, but women aren&amp;#39;t supposed to want a hot, buff plaything. No no no. We&amp;#39;re too smart for that.\nUM, I&amp;#39;M NOT. I think we know that by now!\nGuess what cute actor loves older ladies? The answer will surprise you!\nSo I&amp;#39;m really interested to see Courtney Cox&amp;#39;s new show, Cougartown. On one hand, I&amp;#39;m annoyed that we&amp;#39;re still promoting that term, but on the other, I like the actress&amp;#39;s attitude on the subject:\n&amp;quot;I think women should be allowed to date people younger&amp;#8212;and anyone they want,&amp;quot; Cox recently told Life &amp;amp; Style.\nPinterestFacebookPASADENA, CA - AUGUST 08: Courteney Cox arrives to the 2009 Disney-ABC Television Group Summer TCA Tour held at The Langham Resort on August 8, 2009 in Pasadena, California.

Hopefully this show, which debuts Wednesday at 9:30 on ABC, will approach the subject with sass and candor, not sheepish embarrassment that&amp;#8212;gasp!&amp;#8212;a 40-year-old would dare to date a 20-something guy.\nThis stunning celeb also hates the term cougar!\nI&amp;#39;ve got my Tivo set, what about you?\nHave you been called a cougar? Or a puma (cougar in training!)? Do you like the term or hate it?\nMore Ways to Get Glamour\nYou could win $50,000 just for  href=&amp;quot;https://secure.glamour.com/user/registration&amp;quot;&amp;gt;registering or  href=&amp;quot;https://secure.glamour.com/user/login&amp;quot;&amp;gt;logging in to Glamour.com!\n__Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;#39;s  href=&amp;quot;http://www.glamour.com/services/newsletters&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Style Tips of the\nWeek and [Beauty\nTip of the Day](http://www.glamour.com/services/newsletters) newsletters!__\nhref=&amp;quot;http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadget\ns/file/114405591134986064601/Glamour_Gadget.xml&amp;amp;source=glam&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Add Glamour to\nyour iGoogle homepage.\n[Follow Glamour on\nTwitter\n](http://www.twitter.com/glamour_sexlove).\n[Follow Shallon on\nTwitter\n](http://www.twitter.com/agentshallon).\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
