If you're a more mature lady who is sleeping with, dating, or married to a younger man, you might have been called a cougar. No, that doesn't mean you have fur or look like a large cat. In recent years, the term has come to describe older women who hunt, stalk, or prey on younger men. Usually, it's meant in a very negative way. The people who often use the term generally do not approve of women dating men ten or more years younger than they are. However, if you have embraced the word and don't care who knows you love younger men, then add the Cougar Patch to your jacket and wear it with pride! It's one of the Ladies Patches found on The Cheap Place.
Usually, a cougar is a woman who is over 40 pursuing a man who is at least seven years younger than she is. However, the term can be used for any woman who is dating a man who is significantly younger than she is. The term may have originated in Canada, although no one is really certain. It has become a well-known and popular term in the past five years or so thanks to the movie Cougar Club and the television shows The Cougar (a reality show) and Cougar Town, a sitcom starring famous actress Courteney Cox.
The cougar patch is done in a fun handwriting font that makes it look a little bit different from other patches out there. It measures 3 by 1.25 inches, so it's also a fairly small patch. You can either iron this patch on or, if you're putting it on leather, sew it on.
Have a lot of cougar friends or want to resell patches at rallies? You can purchase wholesale biker patches to save yourself a little bit of money.
