"I signed up to this site looking for cougars and the site did not disappoint. What surprised me the most was how explicit the photos were. These women are burning with desire. I was able to talk to a few but the conversation never went anywhere. It was hard to secure a date because some would just suddenly stop responding while others wouldn't reply in the first place. The pornographic images would be a jackpot for other cubs, but not for me. This site just doesn't have the ladies I'm looking for." - Cub (23)

Is Cougar Date right for me?Who is signed up on Cougar Date in the UK?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Cougar Date from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
During the test, there were a lot of younger female members with ages 18 - 20. This was a surprise since cougars are generally 40 years old and above; 35 years old is already a stretched minimum (Sources: WikiHow, ThoughtCo, UrbanDictionary). Even though Cougar Date is strict about approving e-mails, they aren't strict about users having to complete their profiles. Because of this, a lot of members have incomplete accounts with default display photos.

Our field test
★★★★★ 2.5/5
Design & usability
The website is fairly easy to use. The members' ease-of-use were definitely in mind when they created the functions. In the inbox page especially, there are tabs to help the user sort their messages, including the ones that come from the support team. The most important resources, such as the terms and conditions, privacy policy, FAQ, and contact page are all conveniently located on the bottom page. They can be accessed wherever you are on the site. A solid maroon is the background of the website, and surprisingly it doesn't look bad. Be wary though, pop-up windows can come from any click on the site, and some of them might even have audio.

DiariesFree
This is a public page where you can write a diary entry and share your thoughts and experiences with other members. Before your entry can be published, it has to be checked and approved by the moderation team. You can write anything you want to let other users get to know you better. It could be a journal of something exciting that happened to you today or an entry on something you're passionate about.
Your diary entry will not be approved if it includes your personal contact details, inappropriate language, advertisement for another website, or details about when your membership will expire (subtly asking people for money).
Final results
2.0poor
“Cougar Date states from the get go that they are a casual hook-up site. With its name, you would expect they would specialize for older women and younger men. The website never mentions cougars and cubs on the website. It's basically a regular hook-up site with "cougar" in its name.”
