Cougar Dating in South Africa, the Lekker Way

Ask any South African man who's dated an older woman and he'll tell you the same thing, usually with a grin: best decision he ever made. My Cougar Dates is cougar dating in South Africa for women over forty who prefer younger men, and for the younger men who've had a thing for older women since long before they'd admit it out loud.

The women here aren't shy about it. Mzansi cougars know what they like, they've stopped apologising for it, and plenty of them are online tonight hoping a younger man with a bit of nerve says hello. If that's you, you're in the right place.

Meet the South African Cougars

Every city does cougars a little differently. Here's who you're likely to meet.

The Jozi cougar.

Lives at full speed. In meetings by seven, at the gym by six, out by eight, and she knows every rooftop between Rosebank and Melville. When the Highveld storm rolls in at four, she's already decided where she'll be when it clears, and who with.

The Pretoria cougar.

A little more polished, a lot more patient, and dangerous in October, when the jacarandas turn the whole city purple and she decides she'd like someone to walk under them with.

The Cape Town cougar.

Hikes Lion's Head before breakfast, swears at the Cape Doctor all summer and thinks a sunset walk on the Sea Point promenade is a perfectly good first date. She's right.

The Durban cougar.

Wears a sundress in July, because she can. Warm, loud, generous with her time and completely unashamed about liking a younger man with a tan and a bit of cheek.

The Ben 10 Question

Every South African knows the joke: a younger man with an older woman is her "Ben 10". Round here, the joke has flipped. The younger men are proud of who they date, and the women have the bragging rights. If your mates tease you, let them. They're only asking because they want to know how you did it.

Picture this

A Saturday Night in Sandton

She chose the rooftop, and she was there first: 48, black dress, heels she clearly had no trouble in, a glass of bubbly already poured for you. Seven days of messages had led to this. She'd said she liked your smile and wanted to see whether you could keep up.

You could, just. She tells better stories than you, laughs with her whole body and leans a little closer every time the music gets louder. The city lights run all the way to the horizon. When the bar starts to empty, she mentions that her place is ten minutes away and that she isn't remotely tired. You've never agreed to anything so quickly.

What to Look For in Cougar Dating Sites in South Africa

People search for cougar dating sites in South Africa every day, and the honest answer is that a site is only as good as the women on it. Here's what matters.

Women who chose this.

Every woman here joined because she likes younger men. No convincing required.

Men who mean it.

Younger men who prefer older women, not men who'll date anyone who replies.

Somewhere local.

Cougars in South Africa near your own city, so a first date is a drive, not a flight.

Discretion.

Your chats stay between the two of you, and nothing ends up on anyone's WhatsApp status.

A site that works on your phone.

Because that's where you'll be when she replies.

The South African Cougar Calendar

Spring, September to November.

Heritage Day on 24 September means a braai almost everywhere, and by October the jacarandas are out in Pretoria. Joburg held Africa's first Pride march in October 1990, and the city has kept that spirit. Rooftop season starts here.

Summer, December to February.

The coast fills up, the evenings stretch out and the whole country goes into holiday mode. On the Highveld, the afternoon storms clear just in time for sundowners.

Autumn, March to May.

The heat eases, the south-easter finally gives Cape Town a break, and long lunches in the Winelands come back into fashion.

Winter, June to August.

Fires, red wine and slow dinners in Gauteng, where the nights get cold enough that nobody wants to go home alone.

A Little Slang for Your First Date

Lekker.

Good, great, excellent. "That was lekker" is what you want her to say at the end of the night.

A jol.

A party, or a big night out. A cougar who's keen for a jol will happily drink you under the table.

Now now.

Soon. Properly soon. If she says she'll message you now now, keep your phone close.

Just now.

Later. Possibly much later. If she says she'll reply just now, be patient.

Babbelas.

The morning after a jol you couldn't keep up with. Pace yourself.

How to Date a South African Cougar

Turn up on time, dress like you meant it and put your phone face down on the table. Make a real plan with a day and a place, because "let's hang out sometime" goes nowhere with a woman who runs her own diary. Talk to her about her life, not her age. Keep things private: plenty of women here have careers and reputations that don't need your Instagram involved. And if the Gautrain is your way home, check the time of the last train before you order the second bottle. Or don't, and see what she suggests.

If you'd rather start with a particular kind of woman, read about older women in South Africa who prefer younger men, or about sugar mama dating, South African style, where she's very much the one in charge.
