Cougar Women on Dating Sites

It's not just the men who want to date older women. It's mutual. And if men are looking for sexy older women, they will find them on internet dating sites. Women in their 30's to 60's are pursuing younger men on these sites. In April, 2007, the online dating site, PlentyofFish.com conducted a study of over 50,000 women daters ages 30 and over. In the U.S., of the women who initiated contact with men, 38% sought out men at least 5 years younger than themselves and 10% messaged men at least 10 years younger. The percentage results were similar in Canada, the UK, and in Australia.

A word about PlentyofFish.com. In 2003 Markus Frind created and founded the site, and it has changed the face of the online dating industry by showing singles don't have to pay for love. Driven by word of mouth referrals, PlentyofFish has quickly grown to be one of the most popular sites in both the U.S. and the UK. Every day, more than 400,000 singles choose PlentyofFish.com as their online dating destination.

A significant number of my male interviews came from this site.
