NEED A BETTER WORD THAN "COUGAR."

We need a better word than "cougar." The image of a sleek predatory cat may capture a certain aspect of how some women might stalk and shred an unsuspecting younger man.

What about vivacious, smart, experienced, funny and super social ladies who just want to go on dates and see what happens? So many older women are healthy, youthful, beautiful and alluring to men of any age. Why should they confine themselves to old men who are tired and needy. Every older woman who seeks the companionship of a younger man is not a predatory cougar on the prowl for hot sex? We need a better term for these woman. What can we call them?
