Cougar cruise...Any cubs out there?

You've probably heard of "Snakes on a Plane." But what about Cougars on a Cruise?
Share
Eight single women share their thoughts on dating in a recession.

Setting sail in a few weeks is a singles event being marketed at the "World's First International Cougar Cruise." And no, there will be no zoo animals aboard.

The "cougars" hitting the open seas will be the type more likely to prowl cocktail lounges than the wild frontier -- older women who prey upon young, virile men.

"When people go on a cruise, all of their inhibitions go overboard. If you want to meet somebody of the opposite sex, this is the best way to do it," said Rich Gosse, chairman of the Society of Single Professionals, which came up with the trip idea along with the Singles Travel Co.

The term cougar has risen from relative obscurity at the turn of the century to become an accepted, though much parodied, lifestyle choice for many, described by Urbandictionary.com as: "An older woman, typically early thirties to mid-forties, who has abandoned traditional rules of romantic engagement and taken as her mission the seduction of as many game young men as she can possibly handle."

    There's a restaurant area on the west side of Cleveland where cougars troll for men with silver streaked hair on the assumption that they have fat wallets and would provid good security or whateve. It's known as the Viagra Tiangle.

    Btw, the cruise is from Los Angeles to Ensenada MX. If you ever get to Ensenada (65 miles south of San Diego)be sure to check out Hussongs Cantina. It is where the Margarita was invented back in 1941.I have 2 T-shirts from there.

    Harrydave, that has to be the place. I just remembered the name of the hotel "Camel Back". The pictures of the restaurant show camel back in the back ground. Thanks.

    Shadowcat, this restaurant http://www.pppatio.com/home/default.asp has been around since 1957. Could be the place. Of course, in the past 15 years the Phoenix area has grown so much, it barely resembles the town of old. Still, in 30 minutes I can be in the desert or mountains, and we are entering the nice time of year!

    harrydave, many many years ago I spent my 2nd honeymoon in Scottsdale. We stayed at a 5 star hotel owned by Del Web (sp). We had dinner one night at a place called Pinnacle Peak. It was out in the middle of no where. They had a Conestoga wagon circle outside. The walls were plastered with neck ties that they had cut off of customers. The food was excellent. Just wondered of the place was still in existence?

    Here in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, we have a continuous Cougar cruise going on. I have a friend who has been frequenting the upscale bars in North Scottsdale, and the places at happy hour are thick with aging felines on the prowl. This is what the ladies do after they invest $50,000 in new teeth, face, boobs and stomach.

    However, my friend also reports these same cougars have crazy issues, just like our young strippers. My friend has had 7 "relationships" in 2 years: booze, drugs, paranoia, manipulation, wild mood swings, you name it. It's a jungle out there!

    Why a cruise? What about Hedonism or is that for ugly naturists?

    No, I don't qualify. There should be an "Old Farts" cruise filled with young strippers eager to help an old man get it up.

    No offense, Shadow, but do you fit the Cougar target profile??? If not, it might be a lonely cruise.
