Ok, the Cougar phenomenon is real, no matter what those sexless bluenoses at CNN say.
I've been approached a few times at bars and restaurants. When I'm alone and on the town I usually eat at the bar even if I'm not drinking just so I don't have to look at an empty chair across from me.
This is how it usually happens:
I sit at the bar alone with a few empty stools on either side of me.
Well-coiffed and dressed woman in her late 40's to early 60's sits next to me and smiles.
Conversation starts about something on TV, the weather, a menu selection, etc. Very casual and friendly. I'm not shy so the conversation progresses well.
She reveals some personal detail in the course of the conversation (volunteer work, recent surgery, kid getting married, etc)
Somewhere a sexual innuendo slips into her conversation. She acts embarrassed and laughs.
She points out something about her marital status: Either divorced or married with a husband who's "always out of town"
She "accidentally" touches me by brushing against my arm or thigh or something, usually in a move so choreographed that it's almost funny.
She reveals that she lives not too far away and it's just her and her dog/cat at home tonight. Oh well, guess she'll go back home and read a book. What was my name?
The fact that this same sequence has been performed for me by three or four women since the first of the year leads me to conclude that they are all reading the same book/magazine/website. Probably something like "The Game" , but for older women.
I have yet to take any of them up on their offers, but I admit to being somewhat flattered. I also think it's a bit funny to be on the opposite side of the "moves" that guys frequently put on women.
