I, for one, am all for cougar love. It even has a great name: Cougar Love.
That sounds like the name of a Courtney Love child except it's totally not. Yay for society.
Anyway, I'm from the "age ain't nothing but a number" school of thought. If you find vim and vigor in the arms and loins of a man half your age, then voila. Enjoy yourself. I'm aware that some people look down upon such unions and I do not understand that disdain at all. Love comes in all shapes, sizes, forms, and ages. As long as there are two consenting adults involved, the rest is totally irrelevant.
Lions, tigers, and cougars. Beeeeeeehave.
As far as what age a 45 year old woman SHOULDN'T consider dating? I'm guessing you meant on the infantile side of things and for me I think it should be anybody less than 21. That's mostly because they can't even drink and it must suck to go to a nice restaurant and order a bottle of their finest rosé only to have to drink it yourself because your strapping beau with the strong back couldn't legally consume any. And technically, if you give him any, you're committing a crime. While all interactions don't involve spirits, most grown people do partake.
Once again, felony.
Who wants to have that on their conscience?
On another note, I do not recommend dating a man twice your age. At 45, I'm guessing your dating younger men to make you feel young. That's pretty impossible to do when you've got a sack of bones and skin enveloping you every time you both get randy.
And by the way, I just disgusted myself.
He could definitely drink though. Legally.
Thank you and good night.
Dude... thanks for the old man getting jiggy visual. No, really. That was wonderful. Ever wish you could hack up a hairball like a cat? That's how I feel right now.
But yeah, I agree. Love doesn't care about age, and shouldn't. Screw the rules. Date who you want (as long as you aren't breaking any laws). Cougars, panthers, whatever.

Sorry for the double post, clicked ok without writing anything.....
I have to agree with PJ on most of the article but what about those of us where the legal drinking (and fornicating) age is 18?
Among my friends we use the "Rule of 7".
The rule is that the youngest person you can date has to fit within the following formula:
(1/2 your age)+7 Rounding is done either up or down, depending on how badly you want to boink the other person.
For me being 29: 29/2 = 14.5 +7 = 21.5 (either 21 or 22).
Just wanted to share, love the website guys!
The converse of that Eazy_AU, of course being that the oldest person you can date is (your age - 7) * 2.
So, you being 29: (29 - 7) * 2 = 22 * 2 = 44.
Of course, it's also important to remember that when your drunk, math starts to get a bit fuzzy.
The only thing I would say in warning is be careful. I had brief fling with an older woman when I was in my late teens and she was i her 40's, but I knew from the start that it never had potential for anything serious. That will be the primary problem with guys in the late teens early twenties.
Just be upfront that you are looking for more. Of course, if you aren't then no problem!
Peace.
