Local Cougars in the UK: Older Women Near You

Local Cougars began in the UK, and the UK is still where our members are most likely to be women. Almost two thirds of our UK members are women, typically aged 35 to 44, while the men are mostly in their twenties and early thirties. More than 350 members live here, from London to Glasgow.

Where our UK members live

London has the biggest group by far, followed by Greater Manchester. After that come Kent, Merseyside, West Yorkshire, Hampshire, the West Midlands, Bristol and the Glasgow area, with members in most other counties too, from Essex and Norfolk to Cheshire, Lancashire, Dorset and Cardiff. Wherever you are, set a distance that takes in the nearest city and you will see more people.

Cougar dating city by city

Each city has its own page with who you will meet there and date ideas that suit an age-gap first date: London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Southampton.

Why the UK suits cougar dating

British women in their forties are working, travelling and going out more than any generation before them, and plenty of them have noticed that younger men are more fun to go out with. British men in their twenties, meanwhile, are increasingly honest about preferring confident older women. The word cougar has gone from a joke to a compliment. On Local Cougars, nobody has to explain it.
