Even if you claim to have no interest in quitting your job before you eventually get fired and continuing to live the sweet Murray Hill lifestyle you’ve grown accustomed to by being made the kept boy of a rich older woman, surely you can admit that there’s some entertainment value in watching others go down that path. Which is why we suggest looking out for “Cougars: NYC,” a reality show now in development that will give us an insider look at life as the hunter and the hunted. God knows when it’ll air– presumably after the tears dry– but the producers held an open casting call last week at Libation, so you know it’s going to be good. According to pussy (cat) Dawn Ellison, who maintains a blog about banging younger men, the series aims to “shatter stereotypes that surround cougars and cubs.”
Not content to sit this one out but unsure where to turn? We suggest RSVP’ing to UBS’s September 9th Hedge Fund Client reception at L’Escale. It’s been internally dubbed a “cougar hunt” and Andrew Cuomo is said to be attending so the upper limit should be almost unfairly high. Consider it good practice.

when did people stop growing up?
i believe in the late 80′s when your mothers breast milk was in tight supply
one of my top 10 cougars is the chick on Squawk this morning. Can anyone call her name?
Yo – cougar hunt!

got it. case closed.
Bess, your thought leadership on cougars is about as sweet as a 3 dollar rail drink at McFadden’s between 5 and 7pm.
CUBS?? Oh, eww.
girl– not as sweet as a 3 dollar rail drink at McFadden’s between 5 and 7pm with a side of your thoughts on v-neck vs. crew-neck.
I generally enjoy repulsive stuff, but this is just nauseating.

I doubt if any of the real cougars – you know, the ones with the money – will show up at a moronic casting call for another shit reality TV show.
Why? Because they’d be out of favor with their UES friends if they did. Real cougars don’t want that.
Now all you “cub” wannabees remember to have those white crew-neck T-shirts showing prominently at your open collars. You’ll be certain to attract only the best cougars because you’ll all look like such studs. How could the ladies possibly resist?

Is it true that UBS’s Bill Ferri keeps a “log” re banging younger men?
was cleaning my room a while back (once a decade and all) and realized that I “won” another happy hour thing @ McFaddens, should prolly make that happen after labor day, eh?
“Cuomo”
… Stopped reading right there.
Isn’t the term “cubs” already in use by “bears”? That might cause some confusion.
Who started this whole “cougar” moniker thing? Jesus, it’s like the day back long ago when a guy in the garment district suddenly flapped up the collar of his gray blazer and pushed the blazers sleeves up on his arms and suddenly an effing fad was born.

How do we distinguish the Cougar Cubs from Tiger Cubs?
The Guy Who Doesn’t Understand Why the Word “Cougar” Became So Accepted So Fast is also The Guy Who Doesn’t Understand Why the Word “Geezer” Applies to Him.
great piece. the “sweet murray hill lifestyle” part is especially funny. that place is so ghetto. but i guess college kids and/or people getting by on five figures need some place to hang out and get drunk for cheap.

21 I wouldn’t choose MH, but I frankly dont think UWS is that much better. No tunnel traffic, but too many strollers (and dirty sticky ones too, not like the sleak ES ones)and babbling old people sitting in diners and eating soup that drips down their chin. That’s paradise?
@19 – Cougar Cubs look for a wad, Tiger Cubs carry a wad.
UWS making fun of Curry Hill? Isn’t that like bragging about being Valedictorian of your summer school class…
