“Fine”

Janis S.
3/23/16

I like cougarlife but I do get approached by non cougars and find them in my search results as well. Its not like JustCougars.com where you only have MILFs or cougars to choose from. Still worth a shot but like all these sites it depends on how many women are in your local area - that's the key.

I am communicating with the support at Cougarlife who is not allowing me access to my member account the site allows me to put in my user and password but my account is a blank page... the website is not even showing in my Google Chrome browse reven when i search on Google and i see the site link... but when i click the site it does not show up even from Google search it a blank page. All cookies are cleared for my Google Chrom browser. This is the only site that is not allowing me to excess my account. Im very suspicious of this site. So i communicated this with the Cougarlife support and they are not helping me with this..

I decided to join cougar dating sites like CougarLife (great to meet serious guys) and Cougars69 (this one is more like a hook up site) long time ago. But for a woman, we have a lot of reluctance to meet a man in such a sketchy way.

In fact, the whole cougar dating thing is a little dodgy when you think about it. But realistically, if I was perfectly satisfied and happy with guys my age, I would not be doing this in the first place. Yes, I enjoyed flirting and dating with younger guys much more! And it was all about meeting up with someone who can satisfy my sexual desires. Younger guys, trust me ladies, can do that much better!

I've been using Cougar Life ever since I got divorced because my husband cheated on me with a younger woman. It was great for my self esteem to also date younger men and I do it for almost three years now. Cougar Life is a safe site which totally meets my demands. I even managed to convince my (girl)friends to create profiles too. Some of them are still active.

Me and my girls have been using other sites like Cougars69 too but it is true what everyone says: This site is just a place for people who want to have no strings attached fun. Nothing wrong with that and I have been using it for several one night stands but if you want some well behaved young gentleman who you can imagine to have a relationship with, Cougar Life is a nice site to use.

Cougar Life is one of the best cougar dating site around. Lots of members, great customer support.
There are other legitimate dating sites out there where you can find attractive older women to date if CL is too expensive for you. Justcougars.com did a very good job for me previously.

I originally didnt buy the premium account, so id just look at the matches, send flirts and whatnot. Now that i bought the premium account, its nothing but obviously fake women wanting to steal your credit card, or hot women who are real but wont respond to anything you say. $125 dollars wasted.

Once I paid for my membership, they suspended my access and took all my money from the card. Their technical support does not answer me. I advise anyone not to join this site. It hurt me a lot and I will sue them.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use it. It is a scam. They will take your money and suspend you. Most of the accounts who send you messages are fake. They do this to encourage you pay in order to see the messages. but once you pay, they take the money and suspend you.

A waste of money. No real people on it. Almost immediately after you sign up with a non-paid profile, you will get lots of attention. This sucks you into thinking that there are real people on it, and further sucks you into buying a paid membership. Then once you have paid, no one responds to anything. It is such a waste. Go to AFF where there are lots of real people (even if many are just cyber...), or POF or Craigslist... but NOT Cougarlife.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T USE IT!

Jeez, I am not surprised this site does not work for some guys. This site will give you what you put in. And if you are expecting immediate results you should try a hooker instead! Also keep in mind that this is not a sex dating site! Don't mistake this site with Cougars69.com or some other "MILF hook up sites". Women on CL are (usually) seeking a serious relationship.

I've been on all major cougar dating sites (CL, Cougars69, JC) on and off for about 2 years now and I liked all of them but they are all different from each other! Know what you want!

Now the bad news: I believe that all of them place fake profiles. I guess that is part of the business. But once you use your common sense you should be fine!

Stop complaining! CL is a good site and it will give you what you put in. Period!

Cougarlife.com is an established and reputable age gap dating site. I'd not use it if you are just looking for casual encounters. For that purpose you can easily find women on Cougars69.com but if you are seeking a serious relationship with women in their 40s you can't go wrong using this site.

I would not really pay attention to the negative reviews. They are comprehensible sometimes but often those guys complain which used this site with wrong expectations.

Only CON I see are the credit based high costs. It gets quiet expensive but may be worth it.

Conclusion: Do not use if you just want to have a casual encounter. There are better sites for this purpose. But if you are looking for a serious relationship with an attractive woman in her 40s Cougarlife.com will give you what you are searching for

Without any question this is the largest cougar site in the world. But Cougarlife has some drawbacks which made me use Cougars69 instead. First, I think it is expensive which makes it the biggest drawback in my opinion. Second, I am UK based and had the feeling that there are not enough members from here. But Cougarlife is an absolutely honest cougar site and it sure is an you can potentially do very well using it.

Please do not waste your money on the website. They are trying to promote themselves by advertising. Do not fall into the trap like I did.
Also, the billing cycle is by itself ongoing. You cannot cancel it until you call their head office which is rediculous.

I signed up and started to browse profiles and almost ALL of the ladies are not even in the USA. They all have the same excuse. They are from Florida, or Texas or California but are currently out of the states. Then they give you their number and tell you text only as their connection is bad for phone conversation. The ones that do call sound like tribal elders and not even ladies. Lets not forget the numerous ladies profiles that have, TEXT ME, and they give you a number on their profile picture. CougarLife is a scam site... dont spend your money on it. Hell, go out to a club. At least you might find a real live woman. Not some fake trying to scam you over the internet

I'm not too sure if its good or bad because the only other site ive used is justcougars.com, but I feel like one good experience in three months isn't really good enough. The hookup happened in my fourth week on the site, so its been AGES now since ive had any action from this site and im now not sure if I should renew. Maybe I got lucky on justcougars but I know I had a lot more fun during my first three months there, so don't really understand whats going wrong here. The site clearly has real women and ive not changed the way I act (if anything Ive been sending more messages since the hookup) so im a bit discouraged. As a guy who likes older women there aren't that many good dating sites for me to use, so I do hope I have more luck if I decide to renew.

Been using this cougar site for years and had my ups and downs, but stuck with it cos there are moments when it does really work! You have quite times and you have times where you get some action but overall its worth a try. If you like cougar life I think you would also really like justcougars.com and would def recommend that to anyone who fancies milfs and cougars.

I have had great luck on CougarLife.com and I don't know what complaints others have. This is like the most reliable cougar dating site together with Cougars69.com. Keep in mind that no site is perfect!

To get an idea of how to this site works I made two fake email accounts and set up two profiles on cougarlife.com. One profile as an older lady the other as a younger guy.
On the guys' send of things everything seemed normal. However on the ladies side of things I noticed that the site send out messages to people on your behalf all stating "(profile name here) has indicated that she's interested in you." Nothing prompted this I didn't fill out a profile for either or even post any pics. I didn't even browse profiles, the site just did it on its own.

So in conclusion if you're a guy and wondering why all these dead profiles are writing you now you know.
If you're a woman and wondering why so many guys you're not interested in keep writing you, now you know why.

I am a 34 year old guy who has been off & on cougarlife in the past and have met several cougars... With two of them I had some kind of serious affair. Same results on cougars69, which I am using in the recent past. I am not saying that women using cougar dating sites are more desperate but obviously a little more easy going. I've been using several hookup sites for years with absolutely NO results whatsoever but ever since I going after older women it works just fine. I am not sure how cougarlife developed ever since I stopped using it but back in the days it was awesome!

Well, via CougarLife I met up with a lovely guy who was quite nice looking, and a very nice guy. We first met for coffee, enjoyed each other's company and, for our second date, I went over to his place for dinner and we watched a movie together. I liked him for sure, but there was no chemistry. He wasn't just looking for a hook-up and neither was I. Have yet to meet anyone else. He likes older women and I like younger men. The site helped us meet. I think that's ok.

Cougarlife isn't perfect by any means but I have met many good women on this site. Yes there are scammers and bad people on this site but you have to use your common sense if you decide to use this site! IMO always worth a try. Also, let me give you a little insiders' tip: There are bunch of older women on Yamvoo looking for a good time. Just set up your age preferences.

The base 1 month subscription, is $40 + a one time $5 processing fee. Fine, expensive but if it serves it's purpose then cool.

2 days later i get an email saying my $30 priority listing purchase has been approved. What? Excuse me? I didn't agree to pay any more than $45 on.the site. I sure as hell won't spend $75 on a website when i'm already expecting to get nothing out of it.

It may be good in bigger cities but be extremely wary of this site.

Not only are there escorts making profiles and wanting you to pay for their services once they lure you in, wasting your credits, but not being given a confirmation to pay an extra large sum of money is criminal in my opinion.

I have never NOT been given a confirmation before when paying for something.

Predatorial practicies, overpriced subscription, and bait or scam profiles. Stick to tinder or something and just change the age range.

$45 for the ability to send 20 messages (each message costs 5 credits and 1 month gives you 100)

CougarLife always comes up first when you search for cougar dating sites, so its no surprise that its one of the best for meeting MILFs and cougars. After a mate told me about the site he uses (JustCougars.com) I figured Id try cougar dating for myself. Not sure how these compare as ive never tried JustCougars.com but from what he says they sound very similar (although his better shag ratio is probably due to the fact hes been using these kinda sites for longer than me and not necessarily because Cougarlife is a worse site than JC). I really like CougarLife though, sleek and simple to use with a decent selection of women in their 40s and even older, if thats your thing. Id guess the number is cougars to younger guys is quite similar, whereas if you join a normal online dating site theres bound to be a lot more men than ladies. Not found Courtney Cox yet mind you, but then I suppose you cant have everything in life! 8/10

I decided to do a profile. I got some activity from a bunch of fake models and a few others. So I decided to subscribe and get a membership then all the inquires just stop. On the weekend it's little to no women online and there the same chics. The yearly membership is average cost wise but you have to pay extra to send messages. It's a horrible site 90% of the time I guarantee it's a total WASTE!

What people say about this site is true. Complete waste of money. If there truly are any real women out there that would care to chat and get to know each other, send me an e-mail. *******@rocketmail.com

As a 49 year old lady I would say I qualify as a card carrying cougar! I'm not a MILF (I've never had children so don't qualify for that one im afraid) but keep myself in good condition and have always prefered to find myself in the arms of younger men than the greying, flabby gentlemen of my generation or older (yuk!). I joined this site after finding it in through some google searches and it's really ideal for what im looking for. I use another one called justcougars.com too and let's just say that between those im never short of 'opportunities'! If you dont mind dealing with the occasional loud mouth or sifting through a tonne of messages every day, id recommend.
