Gloucester is the ‘cougar capital’ of the UK, with more women there dating younger men than anywhere else in the country, research has shown.
More than two thirds of women in the city admitted to being ‘cougars’ – older women who date toyboys.
This compares with a national average of 52 per cent, though 70 per cent admitted they had thought about having a relationship with a man who was their junior, according to a survey by social networking site Badoo.
And in true cougar style, 12 per cent of women say they actively ‘hunt’ out younger men for a fling.

The poll of 2,000 women found Aberdeen and Glasgow had the second and third largest cougar populations, with 62 per cent and 61 per cent of women saying they had dated younger men.
They were followed by: Southampton; Birmingham; Manchester; Leeds; Oxford; Swansea and Leicester.
The toyboy trend has grown in recent years and there have been some notable celebrity examples.

This includes the recent and much-publicised romance between TV presenter Caroline Flack, 32 and pop poppet Harry Styles, 17, of X Factor group One Direction.
And the age gap was even larger between actors Demi Moore, 49 and Ashton Kutcher, 33, whose six-year marriage ended last month.
Jennifer Lopez and Madonna have also proved recently that age does not have to be a barrier to a younger man.

But it’s not just the obvious physical side of the relationship that is attractive to older women, said Badoo.
Friendship, fun and the boost to self-confidence in being seen with a younger man were all named by women as reasons why it is such an appealing option.
Social networks have also helped this trend, with women feeling more confident to make the first move online.
Over a third of women said they felt more self-assured when approaching a man online rather than face to face.

Did you know that there are a disproportionate number of women called ”Mrs.Robinson” in Gloucester?

“Cougar” – Hah, sounds all cool and sleek, doesn’t it?
Now here are three questions to ponder ;
1) When does a man who seeks to date young women become a “dirty old man”?
2) At what monetary value does that “dirty old man” become “such an interesting person…”?
3)At what age does a “cougar ” realise that she’s just a “dirty old woman”?
Answers on a postcard to “Hypocrites Anonymous” etc etc etc!

Never mind Gloucester, what about about Little Waltham on the Wolds. It’s all going on here. Mr. Smith and I (47 year age gap and 6 months married) have a ball together. We first bumped into each other outside the day clinic ( I get my dressings changed every Thursday) and its been go go go ever since, Only last night I was reflecting how wonderful things are, as I sat cosily in my recliner buffing my collection of hand carved walking sticks and watching Mr. Smith doing his best moves to a jolly record by Pee Daddy. And the fringe benefits girls! I won’t go into as this is a family newspaper. Mr. Smith is such a kind diligent man, Lilian at no. 3 recently lost her millionaire businessman husband and he’s popping in approx 8 hours per day just to keep an eye on her. You know Lilian don’t you? She’s the octogenarian with the go faster stripes on her zimmer and the mach 2 hearing aid. Better wrap up Mr. Smith’s retractable reins before before he breathlessly returns…….

I often get approached by dirty old women. They vanish quick enough when I ask them if they know my granny from the bingo.

Man dates woman half his age = Pervert. Woman dates man half her age = Cougar !
