Cougars or Cubs?

I found the first site (Urbancougars) interesting yet annoying at the same time. The first thing I read on the site was the description of cougars in general and the single word that caught my eye was "sophisticated". I am still not sure how I feel about that word being applied to women who consider themselves animals. Next I read an article ripping Madonna apart for dancing too provocatively with Justin Timberlake. I'm confused...isn't this celebrating older women going for younger men...are we a little jealous of Madonna Ms Urbancougar? Finally I wrapped up my tour of the site with the cougar of the month who happened to be Dariea. While reading bits and pieces of her article I made up my mind on how I felt about the site. Completely disgusted. Maybe this was an older women who was going after younger men but from her interview/description I would think she was younger than myself. I found her interests most amusing, "I love...dancing and singing, even though I'd be a perfect candidate for the American Idols 'Bloopers' show! I love...Diet Coke Zero - I think I'd die without it. My favorite thing to do is have a Pina Colada and throw myself right onto the sand without a towel to sun my buns...I am spontaneous and kind of a brat." In another question she was asked what she thought it took to be a cougar. In her answer I found another word that stuck out and scratched me the wrong way - "class". Because this was probably the last thing she had especially after reading her story of taking a friend's dare to climb up the stripper pole in a dress. Oh lol! good times with Dariea!
The second site (cougared) appeared a bit more down to earth yet also came off as just a bunch of desperate women.
