About CougarLife

CougarLife was created all the way back in 2006 and is aimed specifically at cougars looking for their naughty cub. The service is owned by Ruby Life Media, who are also responsible for the controversial Ashley Madison - a dating site for married men and women. Luckily, this matchmaking site is not aimed at those who want to commit infidelity but is geared towards casual hookups.

CougarLife boasts a steady growth in members since its creation in 2006. With a large number of both male and female users, CougarLife has proven that societal shame regarding age gaps is a thing of the past, leading the way for many mature dating sites.

With thousands of high-quality dating profiles to browse, it is no wonder CougarLife is considered to be one of the most popular adult dating sites. Is CougarLife the dating site you have always hoped for?

CougarLife gains over 100,000 new members a month. 70% of its members are male, and 30% are female. The average age of a male member is 18-34 years old - a common age range for a cub. Unfortunately, there have been many claims of fake accounts. Most dating sites employ this tactic, so it comes as no surprise. However, you can still find plenty of legitimate singles as well, so it's not all bad news.

Strangely most of the women who use this service are under 35 years old. Perhaps these women are looking for a mature lady themselves?

How do I join CougarLife?

Sign up is both fast and easy – in fact, it shouldn't take you longer than a couple of minutes. You will need to fill out one form, which is split into two sections. The first section asks for a valid email address, username, and password.

The second part of the form asks for your personal details. This includes your DOB and gender. CougarLife will also require your location, so it can match you to nearby single cougars. Information about your physical appearance is optional. You will be asked about your eye color, body type, ethnicity, and hair color. The answers are preset, so you can't get creative.

During sign up, you will be given the chance to upload a sexy selfie as a profile picture, although this is not compulsory, and you can do this at a later date. Once you have written a greeting, your form is complete. After that you’ll receive an email for confirmation.

CougarLife is obviously aimed at women judging by the visually pleasing pink and green pastel color design.

CougarLife features an easy-to-access member directory. Here you will find new users, including cubs and cougars.

The site is well organized and looks professional. There are quick links to various other pages, giving you more time to chat to your perfect cougar.

You can also download a handy app if you prefer to visit online dating sites via your smartphone.

CougarLife will ask you to create a totally unique username and submit your location. You can also provide the areas you are willing to travel to for a date. You'll be required to make a caption/greeting. You will also be asked about your body type. You don't need to include a photograph, but most women won't look at a profile unless it contains one.

The profile itself is well-laid out, and you all given information is very clear. You can also submit details about your education and job, but this is not compulsory.

You can send a wink to other members for free. You also get three free messages to send to anybody who catches your eye. If you want to send or receive more messages, you will need to fork out for the membership. There is also a "chat with me" feature which is effectively a chat room.

CougarLife also offers the opportunity to send virtual gifts to your chosen cub or cougar – the ultimate way to show somebody you're interested in good times and naughty fun.

• Easy to navigate site design
• App is available
• Fun and appealing appearance
• Quick and easy registration process
• Millions of members on the site

• Reports of fake accounts
• Best features only with premium membership
• Reports of hidden and unexpected fees
• Some profiles are unverified

Each subscription also grants you "cougar credits," which you can spend on sending messages, pictures, and virtual gifts.

Currently, CougarLife accepts credit card and PayPal payments for its premium service.

It is satisfying to see the world of mature dating growing at such a fast rate. There has always been a stigma surrounding dating a younger man or older woman. CougarLife has certainly helped break down those societal barriers. The site boasts one of the most effective search engines and a quick and painless registration procedure.

However, the point system is frustrating. Most dating sites offer unlimited access once you pay a certain amount for a monthly fee. The CougarLife credits have the potential to become very costly if you're not careful. Many customer reviews talk about paying more than they believed they would and that the female members are mostly fake profiles.

All in all, we would say this site is worth signing up to if you are a cougar. If you're a man, you may want to look elsewhere.
