I did some research on what Cougar means and Deb fits that category in some ways but even with Dr. Taylor I thought he was older than her.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cougar&page=1some of the quick terms is:
*Definitely a
financially successful, goal oriented adult woman that knows exactly what she wants and won't settle for less.*
tall, blonde, knock out figure, well dressed and sporting a car you won't be able to afford!!
*
Hot and sexy older woman, usually in her 40s or 50s, single or married, who is sick of her same-age counterparts which are usually hairless, have big guts, who only talk about their insurance premiums and have the TV remote control attached to their hands.
*Have you been to that new club in-between the divorce lawyer office and the Botox clinic? It's stocked full of COUGARs. Yeah it's in the same parking lot as the iTan and the Boobs “R” Us.
*buy cougar mugs, tshirts and magnetsA slang term used to describe an attractive older single woman.
*An attractive middle-aged woman who is fit, active, confident, independent, somewhat bohemian and not yet brain dead who is attracted to younger men because most of the available men her age are opinionated lazy slugs with beer guts.
*A woman who, for some unknown reason, is attracted to men she finds out are younger than she is, often significantly so. She looks younger than her age, acts younger than her age, and has the confidence she didn't have when she was younger - which younger men apparently find appealing. She's not always the bottle blond, surgically enhanced woman described in other definitions of the word. She most often has her life in order and has earned her independence. She's probably not had a conventional life and she's ok with that. Many of her friends don't get it and tell her to find some old rich fart to die with.
*A distinguished species of older females who seek the company of younger males whilst avoiding the entanglements of a relationship, in favor of a lack of restrictions.
