Is The Cougar So 2000-Late?

A new study finds relationships work better if the man is a little older and a little dumber than the woman.

UK researchers studied 1,500 couples over a 5 year period and found the most successful relationships were those where the woman was 5 or more years younger and more educated than her partner.  So, we've got it all wrong.  Instead of scouting the college campuses, we need to be at the nursing homes.  Dammit.  I've wasted years.

Anyway, Newsweek says the whole "cougar" game is just media-driven and will likely be extinct by next year.

What's your call? Are cougars here to stay? Would you start seeking older men to date?  Is age just a number?
