Does anyone feel like the whole "cougar" phenomenon is more based on a guy's looks than his actual age?

I read this somewhere when browsing reddit but felt the need to post it on here. One guy I actually know from my old neighborhood I grew up in is 24 years old but he is really skinny, wears oversized clothes, thin-frame glasses, has acne, and is pale as heck. He is dating a woman in her 40s who is chubby and not the best looking. I actually said when I was with some friends that she is a "cougar". Well, I got a lot of weird looks for it.

Mind you, these are friends who are politically incorrect so I was surprised at first. Then two of them said "dude, the whole "cougar" thing is only true if like he is hot and she happens to be hot too but look like she is somewhat older than him".

Meanwhile, there is a guy that I used to know at my old workplace who is 35 and dating a woman who is 48. She is porn MILF gorgeous and he is good looking but since he is mixed (black and white), he has also aged well, am I right @CornbreadFed? She is a pale brunette but looks real hot. Even though he is 35 which is way past the acceptable range for a guy to be with a "cougar" since men over 30 are considered old in society, people regularly say that she is a "cougar" and even comment on it even though he is not the age of man that a cougar would hunt.

Now that I think about it, I kind of see it that way too even though I didn't notice it.

Is anyone else realizing this?
