Do YOU prefer dating guys a few years your junior like these Hollywood cougars-in-training?
Some of Hollywood’s most eligible young women believe age is just a number –and they’re hitting their point home by dating younger guys! We’ve gathered some of the hottest cougars-of-tomorrow with their prey for your perusal. Tell us which one YOU think has the sharpest claws!
Selena Gomez, 18, and Justin Bieber, 16:
The duo have only been dating for a few weeks, but there are a few years of difference between them.
Ashley Greene, 23, and Joe Jonas, 21:
The Twilight star and Disney heartthrob are a cute couple who overcame a two year age gap.
Nicki Minaj, 26, and Drake, 24:
The rumored couple share common ground as rappers, but Nicki is two years Drake’s senior.
Carey Mulligan, 25, and Shia LeBeouf, 24:
The two former sweethearts and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps costars were born a year apart.
Rihanna, 22, and Chris Brown, 21:
During their relationship, Rihanna was the elder — perhaps that’s why Chris was not mature enough to treat his lady right.
Lauren Conrad, 24, and Jason Wahler, 23:
The old flames first hooked up on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, and Lauren’s age was never an issue onscreen.
Kelly Osbourne, 26, and Luke Worrall, 21:
Perhaps one of the problems these bitter exes faced was overcoming their steep five-year age gap.
Taylor Swift, 21, and Taylor Lautner, 18:
These former lovebirds may share a name, but three years separated the Valentine’s Day co-stars.
Jessica Szohr, 25, and Ed Westwick, 23:
Ed is two years the junior of his on-again, off-again Gossip Girl castmate.

Having a 2 year difference is not bad! Plus, a cougar is like a 50 year old woman dating a 20 year old guy!

No, try again. First “cougar” meant a woman in her 50′s dating much younger men, then women in the 40′s were suddenly called the name, then 30′s dating men in their 20′s and now a “Cougar” is a “twenty-something” young girl dating a guy a year younger than her (all in the space of the last 5 years)?
FAIL. Stop writing garbage and putting women down, trying to make women feel bad. FAIL. These are not Cougars. Besides, MEN ask WOMEN out most of the time, so it’s a safe bet these “younger” men asked “them” out, not the other way around.

“Cougars in training” my a**! What’s wrong with you people? Why the constant need to label women. We can’t do anything without men and mainstream media hurling condescending labels on us. Leave these girls alone. It’s NOT a big deal, so stop trying to make it into one. I’m dating a guy 4 years younger than me and if anyone called me a cougar to my face, I’d rip them another a*hole.
