I love cats but while one is a loyal loving companion and two is a warm, if cramped lounge, many more indicates some deeper issues, cat breeders and multi person households excluded. Though hard to use the phrase "barking mad" :lol:

Since we seem to be totally off bushwalking!

Things I have learnt.......

The average woman is at least 100 times more sexual than the average man. (hard to get them to admit this though)

Firstly, cougar is not offensive, its something to be proud of. Basically it means a woman who is a bit older but still looks 20, and hence goes for younger guys. A compliment really. I know many of my mates would love to get a cougar. Unfortunately these are definitely not the guys you're after.
I'm not the person to ask as to what is 'cougar bait' however.

So a woman who has had a face lift and/or make up 6 inches thick or who is only in her late 20's. I thought they were supposed to be older older, as in 40's up? Never seen the show so I've no idea.

I didn't know there was a show. Anyway, sure looks play a part, but confidence is much more attractive. If there's a woman who knows she looks good, even if not in her 20s, then it rubs off. Too much makeup looks gross anyway - you'd be better off with none than that.

And, to get back to the original topic whilst remaining with the digression:

Sounds like "only want what you can not have". Or to quote from the Stones

"You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need"

But then again they also wrote

"Can't get no satisfaction" so go figure :lol:

Not necessarily. There's interested (which is a must, otherwise we don't bother) and keen (which is like "there must be something wrong if you're that desperate"). Find the line!

Tell us more, I'm assuming that you are composing your trip report for those of us who were stuck inside on this most perfect of autumn days. You obviously made it home safely in spite of injury?

What an interesting thread I met the love of my life when I was 13 yoa, fast forward to when I was nearing sixteen met up again wonderful ecstatic explorative relationship moving on, family pressures caused us to reluctantly part (religion) however it only took around a year for us to re unite and we Married in Dec 1968
and guess what we are happy and active. :D

I'm still waiting for a few cougars to come my way but when your nearing 50 they seem to go past for the younger guys.

Edit: Further to the above, this guys got it worked out. http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/521550

It was quite nice! Open forest up to Lanes, then a little bit of light scrub across the plateau, then up to Lords, then back down to the road through more open forest! Quite nice!!
Very nice to finally tick it off!!

"Are you going to use those cartons?" I still think the reaction was a trifle excessive.

I think it all goes back to the day I told him I didn't give a rat's what he (or anyone else) thought of me . . .
